Impressive release indeed.

And I must say, I love the fact that, at the beginning of the map, you not only get to see the name of the map, but also the author of the map ! Great stuff. I'd love to see this feature in EDuke32 as well ;-)

I would prefer handling this similarly as in statistics options:
show statistics: off, only on minimap, always show

Here could be:
map info on startup: off, map name, map and author name

Also I do not think that used font is ideal.

I made new version with filemap fix for Linux.
And I made some fixes:

1. FileMap relative path fix for Linux
2. Sound/music not initializing crash protect
3. Underwater weapon change fix
4. XSector data signed -> unsigned (Crusher BloodLines E3M1 bug)

[m210®]

I made this today
It's not console yet, just info screen, but the next release will have console, I'm working on it now.

Ok. What font does it use? If it uses the font from the game's assets, would it be possible to disable texture scaling for the console only? (I currently have a "hack" on that, in that I store an 4x nearest neighbour upscale version of that font)

Font drawing without scaling in console. And yes, this is a game's fonts (QFN in < v1.10 and ART files in >= v1.10

What I meant was disabling bilinear scaling of the font only. Having the option to display the console text at 2x or 3x or higher size would be very welcome.

[Emmanuelexe]

I have replayed BloodGDX with an expansion and it was delicious. The widescreen option is awesome!
I wanted just know, how goes multiplayer? Isnt too hard to make it M210? :3
Good luck!

I'm not start multiplayer yet, therefore I don't know

[-=SomeThingEviL=-]

Have you put any work into a updated mapedit? Even if it just had better resolution support for now would be nice. But I know It will come in time.

Anyway thanks for the amazing work you have put into BloodGDX!!!

[m210®]

As I said, I will start working on mapedit not earlier than I will finish my ports.

[Zaxx]

I will sound like a broken record but anyway... when is CD music coming?

I want this in the game again:

[Phredreeke]

I'd honestly expect those to be the last two features you'd add, BTW the grandfather clock bug in the Siege is back.

Edit: Multiplayer and Mapedit I mean, not CD music.

Yep, multiplayer and the map editor can wait, CD music should be the absolute priority.

Spoiler: I may like bloodbath better than the CD music.

Oh no, that's a terrible answer! Hope you find the mood eventually, man, the MIDIs... I'm just fed up with them again.

[SPILL]

I know most people are overlooking multiplayer and mapedit right now, but I think we are getting to point where we should actually start paying attention to these features. I believe multiplayer and mapedit will propel the Blood community even more so than GDX itself. Of course GDX had to happen first, but let's be honest -
we've all played this game a million times. Multiplayer adds a whole new refreshing, diverse, challenging, and social way to play this game. Something that has been extremely lacking for years now. Dosbox just isn't where it needs to be for online play. With double the variation in gameplay we have double the attracted audience.

And what about mapedit? This is non-negotiable the only tool other than GDX that is expanding onto this game right now. However, I believe Tekedon and myself are the only active mapeditors at this moment. And that is a sad fact that is killing this game. I praise Bloatoid for finding the time to create Death Wish. We all saw how much life that breathed into this game. All vanilla content too! I believe once mapedit is functioning without DosBox it will be less intimidating. I can also imagine once we remove the sector/wall limitations the complexity of new content will be amazing! Could you imagine the adventure of an open world level in Blood?

I know it will be implemented first, but pardon me if I don't really care for CD music

I will totally donate more when we can use ogg/mp3/flac or anything to use the cd soundtrack.


Just saying ^^

[Emmanuelexe]

In a way, Multiplayer could be a BIG boost for the community, to play it more than just in SP.
coop and deathmatch!

[TheXna]

Multiplayer its a must have, i suggest M210 to get some team or friends to work with, cause the project will get big.

Yes, I know it, but I don't start it, because I working on BloodGDX in my workplace (I mean my real work) and my workplace is often noisy and has a lot of people near me...I can't make "game" noise or working in hearphones Therefore It's hard to work with sound system for BloodGDX.
Anyway I will start working very soon.

I'm alone working on BloodGDX now, two months ago I lost contact with guy, who's worked on new Renderer, I don't know, when he can start work again.

[Killes]

I must agree sound is not such a priority compared to MP, but M210 might not have much motivation / too big a project to work on MP alone.

I guess though BloodGDX is now well known across blood/build communities and if someone with the know how and motivation to help with MP were around they would of announced themselves by now :/

[Phredreeke]

Getting working multiplayer is a way bigger task than adding Ogg/FLAC support though.

[Hendricks266]

M210, did you use any of JFAudioLib or EDuke32's audiolib? I can't check for myself.

No, because LWJGL support OpenAL only, therefore there is a some troubles with it.

Don't forget that I writing port on Java, I can't use some c++ libraries Btw, I don't know about MACT, what is it? (DirectInput?)

Yeah, MACT handles input. It includes the CONTROL_* family of functions, such as CONTROL_Startup.

[Emmanuelexe]

M210, i was curious, how much times can it takes to make the multiplayer? 6 month, 1 year? I know There is a lot of work to do for it but i wanted know
Im pretty it will be played, i saw some people who would prefer really play with GDX for mp than the dosbox port. (more because even with a good internet, dosbox can be not stable and weird)
A friend hosted a server not so far from me and i had like 0,9s of latency (around because i lagged A LOT). Maybe because we were a lot of players?...anyway, i hope it could be more stable with gdx

[Lunick]

I assume creating multiplayer would take a great amount of time and investment, especially without source code and making sure it works with modern networking protocols. I don't think M210 would be able to give an estimation of time of such an investment.
