UQE Hexen II v1.14!

When it comes to the technologies used; I have updated the DirectX libraries to the latest and compiled and linked to them as well as updated the OpenGL extensions header files to make sure the code is aware of any new extensions that are available. The engine have also been compiled with Visual Studio 2010 which in itself fixes a lot of issues with the binary engine. All 16-bit video modes have been removed from the engine to create room for higher resolutions up to HD resolutions.

Apart from all the rewriting some code the new features added to the game project is:
