I just watch for this project, but i think it interesting too.

For paypal I need a credit card, which I don't have. My old credit card can't register on the paypal site :(
Maybe at future I can do this when I find a new job

I won't try erampage unless it's really a "port" like TC or something, not just a hacked eduke32 shit mod based on code of old eduke32(even though it has some good features like map patching), sorry but that's what I feel. :(

Hi everyone! I was released a full version of BloodTC today.
Now BloodTC includes all maps of first episode, which was reconsturted on 100% (or 99% we'll see it at future) Also you can play on second episode, it playable, but those maps haven't effects, sounds and some difficult levels. This release has a lot of changes and fixes, for example, new animation of weapons, new Zombie AI (but it's a stupid yet), some bug fixes, and some more.

New archive is available to download at my site m210.ucoz.ru
after authorization new version of BloodTC will be available on ModDB
http://www.moddb.com/mods/bloodtc

Leave commets please ;)

It's pretty good so far, I didn't play much of the original blood so I can't comment on it's accuracy. I like the bloom you've included in openGL, it's a nice touch. However I have a few bug reports.

This blood is sticking up in thin air.

I played in the openGL renderers, and the shading is way off. There's too much contrast, and some surfaces are way too dark, often pitch black. It's ugly and frustrating.

I'm aware that it looks fine in classic, however IMO there's not much point having blood on eduke32 if you can't play in openGL, might as well play the original in dosbox. I think you might be able to tweak the openGL shading with r_shadescale then include a cfg file so it defaults to the correct shading.

BTW, are you thinking of supporting polymer in the future? For example, converting voxels into models, and maybe coding it so some items/objects spawn polymer lights, like torches?

Don't bother. If we are ever going to support SW we would need conversion code anyway, and I do plan to port the Polymost code.

The shading is indeed off in 32-Bit mode as MickyC says.

Other than that, though, this TC has really come along since the last time I tried it out, very impressed with the work so far, it almost feels like playing Blood for real, there are a few minor differences, but they aren't really anything to complain about.

To be honest, we don't know why it looks like that. Blood is dark game and maps have a lot of surfaces with shade 45 and above. This is how the wall with shade 45 looks in software http://i.imgur.com/T9Xnk.png and opengl http://i.imgur.com/0B0iO.png
Changing brightness\contrast ruins bright walls and sprites.

Thanks for the report. Btw, this blood spawns by "enemy" type of actors, therefore this is a default Duke3D blood, but I don't know why it sticking up in thin air. Anyway I wrote my own code of wallblood which using Zombie enemies and I'll replace it to Cultists and other at future.

Yes, I plan to supporting it, but BloodTC often crashes with Polymer (for examle after breaking glass) and therefore I don't use it yet. We'll waiting for a new releases of eDuke32 ;)

About shades I don't know too, as said empy, maybe it happened because we using Blood palette.dat

I almost downvoted Micky´s post by all his blasphemies. (insert rage emoticon here)

I will post even when I don´t try the latest version yet.

Setting Blood to run on Dosbox is a pain in the ass, and you can´t set higher resolutions than 800x600. Not to mention the mouse aim is screwed up and I never had luck running that mouse fix Swiss once made. So, there´s a lot of sense on playing Blood in Eduke32, even if it´s in software mode.

If the mod looks well in software mode (the mode I believe it has been designed for) then you have the answer to your problem right there. Opengl renderers should match sofware mode´s shading without any additional work from the modder. Also, it has been proved that doing "hacks" to approach it (like including an autoexec.cfg) is a counterproductive because, every now and then, the rules under such things work change (example: Maps done in 2008 specifically for opengl, look wrong now because all parameters have changed).

Hello,

Tested it last night (Was tired when I saw the mail about a post), and tested it quickly;

I can switch from Pitchfork to Dynamite with the mouse scrolling (Next weapon), but Next/Previous weapon doesn't work from Dyna to Pitchfork, this on a new game but with copy/pasted over older install.

Also the HD content was disabled but I can't see a prob about this ;)

PS: Played Blood DM with friends last week, haven't noticed any problem with mouse aiming under DOSBox?

I don't think the r_shadescale scale changed, just the default shadescale (hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong), which means it's ok to include something like a .cfg.

I did a bit of research and the main problem is the ambiant light is way off for some reason. When it's set to 1 in classic, the closest seems to be 2.5 in polymost.

Classic 1:

Polymost 2.5:

Hmm, maybe it could still be a shade lighter in polymost (it's a bit dark at the end of the corridor). It also wouldn't hurt to set r_shadescale to 0.95 (but leaving it at 1 isn't too bad)

There's also this transparent brick texture in the menu background when using an openGL renderer, which I'm guessing shouldn't be there (it's not there in classic, or at least it doesn't look like a brick texture). Maybe it's related to the shading problem.

Oh, here's a thought: I've noticed that textures seem to fade to a blue before they go black. Maybe it's worth experimenting with a very slightly blue fogpal? Don't know how to get it working in conjunction with regular pals though.

It's a texture #0 with pal = 4 (black for duke3d) darkening effect is obtained when switch to menu at Duke3D, but at BloodTC with blood palette, textures with pal = 4 not become black because you can see bricks at menu background, therefore it's not related with game shading

Some really nice improvements there! I played 3 levels but then suddenly the Carnival map was skipped and I was in E1M5. Don't know what heppened there. But appart from that and the lag I was getting while playing I noticed some small things that could be improved. Of course I haven't checked everything. I was very nitpickky and some things I mentioned in the past but anyway:

- Cultists should get brighter while shooting, it's especially visible when they stand in dark areas.
- Explosions don't affect player position at all, that's really bad.
- Zombie heads dont bounce correctly, they are slow and move only a little.
- Train noise is not looping correctly, as well as the second train's victim screams too slow.
- Crouch after the jump is different from the orginal if there is at all.
- Bats are slighlty over-zealous with chasing the player.
- The dynamite powers-up a bit too slow in the initial stages.
- Before entering the train station there is a decorative body that blocks the player while I believe it should not but maybe it should be checked.
- Monster bodies shouldn't explode! but be pushed by explosions!
- Monsters walk on ledges that they shouldn't .

Sorry for being an ass, I just want to help! ;)

I know about this bug, but I don't know why this happened, because this bug appears very rarely...I want to kill this bug too xD

It's a verry verry verry verry verry hard to make. You can see on my last attempt here



Some other points from your list also will be difficult to make, but I'll try ;)

It's not perfect but it's a good start and better than nothing. You already made things that seemed impossible so I believe in you ;)

Ok, I checked 3 times. First in your mod then in the original game. With the dynamite you need to increase the height of the parbola. It should fly higher when thrown. The cultist now lights the enviroment around him which doesn't happen in the real game. It's the sprite that has to be lit. I dont believe you can't change shade of the sprite while shooting ;)

Oh, and more more thing with the zombie. It should move slightly faster and have increased melee attack range. Also the game is too easy, much easier than it should be.

It just a "flash" con-command and of course, while shooting, cultist changes shade to -128

Zombie's damage is 10hp in skills level 1, 15 in skills level 2, 18 - in s3, 21 - s4, 26 -s5
This is the data from the original

You know what's the difference between "range" and "damage"?;)

And the shade change for cultists is invisible it maybe that it affects too few frames.

Ура! Межнациональ ное недопонимани e!

Played the last version. Pretty cool! It's amazing how close it looks to the original blood.

One thing bothers me - the hand in the cage (Carnival level) should be running around in a circle. I think it's important, makes it look funny
