I think version 3740 is the last one to keep the filtering intact. I'm using it for one of my projects because some textures look like crap without the filtering. I'm trying to find or make replacements for those textures so I can use a newer version of eduke.

[Helixhorned]

Just issue "r_pr_artmapping 0" from the OSD to disable ART mapping and enable filtering again.

Thank you, that was whai I needed!

[Mark]

That would have been a whole lot easier than all the texture replacing I'm doing. But since I've already started I may as well finish it. Thanks. I'll probably still use it because in order to keep project size as small as possible ( and less work for me ) I'm keeping the low res software fonts instead of def'ing in all the HRP ones.

[Plagman]

What's the 'red glow' problem you're referring to?

Using the Polymost renderer, looking into TROR (for example, a hole)

How's the texturing going? What did you already finish and any chance for a preview?

[Mark]

I finished replacing the textures. I might post another screenshot in a week or two in the proper thread if I make more progress. I got sidetracked to a different project for a while.

[m210®]

It would be great, I'll wait for your screenshots.

[MacoMan]

Very nice conversion & FAITHFUL to the original experience. I'm happy the author decided to continue work on it. Did miss a few fun things from the original though, like the running scared dudes whimpering "There's no place like home! There's no place like home!" Hope to see this in a completed bug free state someday since we really need a good Windows 7/8 port of this great game, an all-time favorite of mine.

[Baron_Samedi]

What happened to this?

No news since forever.

[m210®]

Hi all. We just haven't a lot of time, episode 3 is still not complete, but we working on it, and maybe release will be available at this year

[NightFright]

Your TC still supports Polymer, right? Because I have never really tried it until now, but after taking a first look, it seems to be quite good actually. Don't want to screw it by using the wrong renderer, but I guess Polymer without dynamic lights (r_pr_lighting 0) should be OK.

Getting episodes 3 and 4 fully playable would be a cool thing to have in the next version, but I can't quite tell how far you are with converting the maps and fixing problems. But it's really well made, and since we still seem to be far away from getting a proper source port for Blood, this is an excellent compromise solution.

A humble suggestion might also be to consolidate the multitude of CONs you use (e.g. separate ones for each weapon and enemy) and put them into the groupfile itself. It won't change anything about the way the mod looks or works, but it just looks more compact that way (and might even load minimally faster if you combine some CONs - like the ones I mentioned above). What needs to be praised is that you got it working without a single warning message even in latest EDuke32 snapshots. My respects for that!

BloodCM supports Polymer, but it was disabled at last release, therefore was bad performance and a lot of crashes. But I want to do my TC more beautifull with polymer lights and maybe I will do it at future

At summer we made a new converter based on blud2b, which makes easy to remake original maps, therefore 3 and 4 episodes now have ambients sounds, restored all moving sectors, skills for enemies and DM/single tags for items.
At fully playable 3 and 4 ep we must to add sounds for moving sectors and trigger logics. So, 70% of those episode is done. And with our new converter, episodes of addons can be done faster then other.

I think I will do it when I made a full release of BloodCM, it's easier work with unpacked CON files for me.

[NightFright]

Sounds plausible to me. Good luck with completing this - it could turn into the best way to run Blood on modern systems once it's done (at least until a port is released, provided that will ever happen). Go go, Power Rangers!

But if you're playing BloodTC, you're not playing Blood.

Spoiler

You're playing BloodTC

Same for eRampage.

[NightFright]

Well, it's a good approximation still, especially considering it's a WIP thing. The atmosphere of the original Blood seems to be in there, and as far as I am concerned, that's quite an accomplishment. Having played the game by myself a few times back in the days, I can say that what I have seen so far resembles the original maps quite convincingly. I am not able to analyze every detail ofc and probably there are still tons of differences, but it's playable and well done for a TC.

Are you going to release the mapping tools and source codes to Bloodcm so that other people can make/convert maps for it?

Yes, it will be release.
Source code you can see on this site
http://sourceforge.n...ci/master/tree/

But Blud2e also not fully converting Blood maps, and it's need to finish maps manually

[Jim]

Can you add permanent dual wielding to Bloodcm?

[NightFright]

Errr, I dunno, but to me that seems like a really bad idea. Akimbo mode is supposed to be a temporary powerup, and having it all the time is pretty overpowered IMHO. And since the TC is obviously still aiming at imitating the original game as much as possible... that probably shouldn't be the way to go.

[TheDragonLiner]

Agreed, besides I'm pretty sure it would cause a bit of a waste of ammo a the same time...

[MetHy]

There is a cheat for Akimbo in Blood.

[High Treason]

Indeed, "BUNZ", but it just acts like picking up an akimbo item. Theoretically, you could find the tile number for the pickup or what that sprite was defined as and just type it into the console, "spawn gunsakimbo" assuming that was it's label.

[Jim]

I was think of an option in the menu that's disabled by default.

[TheDragonLiner]

I don't think they'll implement that sort of option since it's not present in the original game and they want to stick as close to the original as possible

[Duke of Hazzard]

Guns Akimbo is ridiculously powerful in Blood. Making it permanent would give a huge advantage to the player.

I have to agree, beside part of the fun of Blood is how hard it is.

[m210®]

Jim, you can enter "spawn AKIMBOITEM" at console for get PowerUp
