External .wad and DirectX question

Hi, longtime KMod fan here, played Hexen and Deathkings several times with this mod of course. A couple of questions. 1. Can you use external WADs in KMod? (versions 2.8 or 3 beta) As in extra levels and such. Also, are high-res textures and high-quality music available? I tried out of curiousity to create a data/jhexen etc folder and place them there but it didn't work. 2. Can you use DirectX in any way with 2.8? If I select it the game crashes on startup. Also the game crashes if you try to turn 3d sound on. I'm guessing this is a bug of the old Doomsday engine. Currently I'm playing with OpenGL.

I don't think you can with 2.8 but 3.0 was designed with external mods in mind (not sure how far it has been implemented though yet). You can't use the high quality stuff with that very old jHexen binary. If you can't run in Direct3D, it's probably your graphics card's drivers that are not compatible with jHexen 0.99.6.
