Better graphics, ex., resolutions, WITHOUT, install mods ?

[realgex]

Is this possible, increasing graphics, without install mods, example, edit any archive, like .txt, or something like this. I try edit dosbox.conf, inserting 1920x1080 in full resolution and windows screen, but no effects.
OR...
really, it´s even better install mods ?

Install GZDoom, I can't think of a reason not to. Although there are options within it to mod certain things, you're still using the same wad file and it's the same game. Heretic and Hexen in GZDoom are absolutely awesome but there are a lot of settings to experiment with.

It happened for me too, check all the dosbox.conf files in your PC, there could be some who change the settings...except that, use maybe chocolate-hexen to play dos style?

GZdoom, and is not a 'mod'.

The issue is that the engine Hexen runs on, and DOSBOX for that matter, aren't capable of outputting that high of a resolution for a number of reasons. As Scally and Krishna said, get GZDoom, it's a modern engine built to run old (and new) .wad files and it's a much better choice for playing on modern systems.

You have to put the high res pack in the folder who contain hexen.wad and the mod files.
Create a short of gzdoom.exe launcher (on your deskop by exemple) and right click>target> add in the line
-file nameofthemod.pk3
or
-file nameofthemod.wad
but i think it's pk3
You can do the same for fan maps with "-file nameofthemap.wad", confirm it and launch.
It should works.
