1. It's generally advised not to convert from one lossy file to another.
2. If you want smaller files you're still better off using ogg. The average bitrate of the files included with the GOG version is 130 kbps anyway and you're not gonna get good results with MP3 below that bitrate.

Perhaps ) Try ogg version, files must be named as blood02 - blood09.ogg or make a def file as

 music { id "unholy.mid" filename "file.ogg" }

Thanks! fgsfds has done it here. It works, but sometimes the music won't play after loading saves.

[J432]

I can confirm that CD music sometimes does not play after loading savegame or at the start of new level. It seems to be completely random.

[m210®]

Mp3 not support yet. The ogg is really bigger? O-o
Whats about mid music? It' starting?

No problem with midi so far.
Update: There is also sometimes problem with CD audio initialization when switching in game from midi to CD audio.

[m210®]

Ok, but I need more information

[Newken]

It also happens without saving. How to reproduce it: choose Episode 1, get killed, choose Episode 1 again.

Yes, this is a good way to reproduce it. Although it seemed random, this way was sound muted always I tried it (at least ten times).

[Jim]

There is one more variable in custom diffculty: enemy health

[Tiddalick]

If you want higher quality music then was given in the GOG release, check out my guide I published on Steam a while ago.

Thank you for all your hard work on this project.

I would like to make a request. A option in the menu to toggle voxels on and off, and the ability to bind it to a key from the console.This way I can compare my voxels to the original sprites in game on the fly.


Also sprites that have floor-alignment will not replace with voxels made of them.I guess it was never planned to have voxels of sprites used that way but it would be nice if they worked.

[Phredreeke]

You can turn off voxels by reducing the visual quality setting.

[-=SomeThingEviL=-]

Thanks Phredreeke, good to know. Now I just need a way to make it a toggle key for convenience.

[Zaxx]

Wow, I had issues with the CD audio in the previous version (it just stopped after changing maps) but now it works perfectly. Man, this soundtrack is still great, thanks for implementing this feature, M210.

Yes, no problem with audio in latest release. I play with Rearrangements for Orchestra by Noderus.de and it feels almost like a new game.

does this mean, we never get a replacement for the pinned "flat" guys on the wall..like the entrance guy and the one between the barrels in the "operation" room?

Speaking of which. M210 any chance of adding an in-game toggle for hi-res textures? Would help tell when a texture is off without restarting the game with a new DEF file.

[m210®]

It's seems I'm succesully ported Blood's PriorityQueue algorithm with original bugs
Do you remember this bug? I'm finally got it
I made this for a better comparison of demofiles and detecting differens.

Yes, I will make it later.

I did not even notice the custom option at the difficulty selection at first. Tried it, seems to work perfectly, now you can fight against more enemies without increasing their health. Superb!

Just to bring it up again, but the enemies' health should also be adjustable

It's not now? I can only see a damage slider but I'd be surprised if that wasn't actually "damage + health".

Anyway if there is one slight problem with the feature is that it's not really straight forward (especially for a new player) what it exactly does. We know what the slider means because we played the game a lot and know how the difficulty settings work but for others the names of the actual difficulty levels would be more useful.

[Phredreeke]

Yeah, if I drag the Damage slider down I can kill a zombie with one alt-fire shotgun shot, just like on Still Kicking difficulty.

[Jim]

Well, then damage and health should be independently adjustable

[Emmanuelexe]

Good job m210! custom difficulty should be a nice add for people who want more enemies without to get more damage in extra crispy ^^
I will keep the original difficulties but it's really cool, so much options!
Is there a way to fix the color filter to make it like the original game? (the pic at the start of e1m1 change yellow>orange by exemple)
Good luck for the next stuff and fix
