Been without a monitor for almost a month, plus a week of vacation... but back at it for Bloodlines mapping!

I may take another brief hiatus after I finish this map, the remastered Epidemic map that you find in the beta from a billion years ago...

The long tunnel (reminiscent of 28 Days Later, the Stand, etc.) is going to be extra awesome this time around :rolleyes:

On the shot it looks like if you were jumping at the bus to pitchfork the shit out of it. :P

Nice spritework, using sprites to make stuff like this is a lot of work. :P

Shots from the remastering of the Epidemic map... really trying to get the episode 1 maps wrapped up/done. Honing in on this one at moment.... You can see the sector limit is close, as well as the walls... sprites are being used as much as possible like the sink in that bathroom.

Here's a quick preview of the intense over-lapping stacks/layers in my next map. It's very meticulous and time consuming to build like this. Ambitious but turning out very well I think :rolleyes:
(Also a lot of the map is built at an angle which is also difficult)

Techically impressive. I know what you mean about working with rooms on an angle. Sometimes to avoid it I'll make a hallway turn so that I can make the room straight. :rolleyes:

Up way too late for this old mann watching all 4 kids by myself this weekend while the wife camps with friends from church.... so I build evil places hahaha. Going to pay for it in the morning when the 2 year old wakes me up :stuck_out_tongue:

If you played beta of Bloodlines addon, the ending of the map was bleh. The tunnel was cool, but the transition was bad. I am sorry, 17 year old me just gave up there...

Having played Dusk alot lately this past year, I'm going to close out with a very dark, almost Quake-style lighting, tight Dusk tunnels with weird & sinsiter stuff goings on. It won't be a practical space at all, and definitely some monster closets :smiling_imp:

I have found that using a high contrast for lighting creates the best effects. Especially with high resolutions in GDX. Looking forward to playing this.

#screenshotFriday

Made some volumetric lighting tiles (I guess that's what the kids call it) to help with some mood lighting. In Blood, the mood we are looking for is creepy/foreboding, right?! :rolleyes:

If you aren't in the Discord for Blood, you should be, but in Duke4 and Blood discords I've shared those sprites for you guys to have.

Wow the Build engine was the best pseudo-3D technology available and its Blood fork is the ultimate incarnation! So versatile :rolleyes:


Crazy what is possible on the original unmodified code.

Happy New Years... at least in 2 hours and 16 minutes for us in the Midwest of the USA :)

Here's some WIP shots from last couple months or so of mapping. It goes achingly slow. I had a good rhythm before holidays though of getting up at 5am and mapping/tiles gathering/editing/etc. on this project, the gym and then to the salt mines... I mean work :wub:.... and then work on a children's book during my lunch break I really want to get published... evenings are typically chores, wife, four kids and gettin to bed early to start it all again :P

Been playing a bunch of Dusk. If you haven't and are a Blood fan, its got some definite influences there. It's a fantastic game with some great enviromental storytelling... mappers in the room, you'll love those little touches. GET IT! It's only $20!

That's it, I mostly always post more raw shots in the Discord channels of Duke4, Blood, 3d Realms and New Blood's #modders-basement... Thought I'd check in here, though! :(

The engine was never forked. What you describe as ultimate is how Q Studios designed their game code, and I would agree.

I've used my holidays to start mapping for my favourite game.

Name of the episode (seeing it big again): The way of Ira
Name of the first level: Purge Night

The story in a nutshell: After a rough life, you've been living in the woods near a village.
Over time, the cultists in the village became more and more corrupt until they
finally decided to purge everybody in the village and you during Purge Night.
You somehow survive and immediately start your revenge.

I have a rough WIP now without any room over room. I wanted to dig out the basics first.
Here's where I am now:

Not bad :) Looking forward to it. Maybe add some sector shadows to give it some more depth.

Thx guys, indeed, I need to revisit all the shadows. It adds a lot to the experience.

I don't know if this is the best thread to ask but..
I have 2 stacked sectors which I want to connect with stairs. The stairs are made out of 1 sided sprites.

I've noticed when slowly walking down the stairs (who does that anyway), when I stop at the right position between the upper and lower sector, I can see clipping..

Is that normal/preventable?

So. What am I working on. Too much is the easiest way to put it. Anyone up to helping me finish some of the stuff?

These are some of the files of the "A Bloody Mess" addon. Not sure still which of the maps to include. If you are a good mapper, send me a mail at wikstromd@gmail.com (If you want to help out)

Haha. Some of those maps are good sized kb, so I know about where they are 🤣

I totally get it. I've got like 7ish maps at all different stages of development. I've started to just narrow in on one or two though so we can re release episode 1.

Decided to release the first map from my addon, it is basically finished besides some missing new sounds and small tweaks.

Despite using new textures it does feel like something straight out of EP2.

The sloping ice and floors and stuff has been solved!

Alt+x will assign the slope, apply it to the floor or ceiling you want to use.

Two sectors.. one is a zmotion. The other you alt x ... The first wall can't be attached to the z motion, but any other is fine...

As the z motion sector rises, the surface will slope.

Thanks years of research and NoOne (FAITD designer) testing out some ideas, we spent hours last couple days troubleshooting this... He found in Shadow Warrior docs this command!

So... Make sloping floors now!

yes, NoOne is a toolmaster for sure (and great Blood map author) He helped us with installers and things with BPF as I and RedFanatic were lost when it came to that

Great! looks like you guys easily walked back into the look and feel of Bloodlines. So, Felix and you are working on stuff. Any of the other guys from the original team with Bloodlines?

Hey there!

Felix and I both are kind of working on it :) When we started on this, it was 98/99 and I was 17... now I'm 37 with big boy responsibilities, Wife, 4 kids, jobs, etc. so I cram in time like right now, early morning or late night. I call it my "nerd time" haha. He's always looking for gigs and such in the film industry in Denmark where he lives, on-again, off-again. I kind of dragged him back into this.

We're it. can't get ahold of Reactor/Headhunter, Michael "Micho" Shire, Alex "Hades" Vandercombeck, I did get ahold of Craig Duckett and got him to see the playthrough PagB666 did of his map, that was cool to see. If it weren't for Peter, I wouldn't be back wasting time making maps again... my wife may have appreciated him not making those I would be "normal" again :lol:

That's it, yeah. Most of the active discussion takes place in the Blood Discord channel, its real sporadic here in Duke4.

Enjoy getting back into it! I don't know if you already have a solution for the annoying flickering, but I've attached a fix that Felix had cooked up. I just drag this onto my dosbox launcher and no visual issues at all... and don't forget to disable the beeps hahaha... those are so annoying.
