I think these are all incredible updates for a "fixed" Blood. As a purist I faithfully agree with all of these and that is a fine line to work with. Excellent job.

I wouldn't mind the stone gargoyles being able to recognize when the player is crouched. Therefore they can move in closer and do a claw attack that will actually hit the player.

Also the butcher's knife attack should deal damage as well. I feel like these enemies are 100% exploitable.

I feel that there is a difference between bugs and stuff that changes gameplay, the former should be fixed, the latter should have toggle options. Like those Z aware ogres in quake that catches the player off guard

There's probably going to be a heated debate on if this is a feature or a bug or the developers just didn't think this one though, but I think that if your "feature" makes some enemies and even a boss complerely unable to damage you, it's a really shitty "feature" that shouldn't be in the game.

[Tiddalick]

Thanks for the new version!

One thing that I was curious to try immedately was the life leech changes
"26. LifeLeech algorithm 1.00 -> 1.21 (decreased damage)"

The life restoring function was removed!
I always thought this was a bug on Monoliths part when they changed the life leech. It really makes the weapon fairly useless in single player games without it.
Can you restore this part of the weapon please? Or at least put the option in.

[fgsfds]

Demos from 1.21 that you can play back in 0.790. Either drop them in the root folder or use playback demofile.dem console command.

It's definitely not a bug. LL was extremely overpowered in early versions. It wasn't very hard to use in a way that would give you unlimited ammo and health. I totally can see why it was removed but as a result it become pretty much useless last resort weapon.

He would have to restore Voodoo Doll 1.0 or Napalm Launcher 1.0 (no alt fire or different akimbo alt fire). I suppose m210 wants to make his port as faithful as possible, so I am not sure about reverting those changes.

Why is this?
I realise that part of the restoration is to make the demos compatible with the 1.21 release, but this isn't needed anymore.
If he has already demonstrated parity with the original game demos, then the AI fixes are done. I don't believe it's critical to maintain synchronisation now that hes proven that his AI fixes match the original game. This was (I believe) the only reason it was so important.

The napalm changes were due to the introduction of the second function and the voodoo doll changes were balance fixes, not a complete change of the weapon.

I realise that this brings it in line with the game at version 1.21, but it's a shame. I don't think the weapon is overpowered really and the original function serves to make the weapon much more interesting and more useful in the kit.
I never used the weapon outside of multiplayer as it really had little function in it's 1.21 state.

I just think it would be useful to allow the player the option to turn this function on/off, much like ZDoom allows the player many custom choices.

It seems that my crash is related to the plant pod enemies. Similar to the crash in the original game.

Yep, it's not really crash, it's assert. But I will see what's wrong.

Yeah, some one original bug...I fixed it:)
Strange that I didn't notice this before

[Devon]

Thank you!! so much m210 =D

This is a great release and im very happy for it =)

Now i can play in the morning with my baby daughter on my chest while playing with a xbox one controller =)

Btw is there any chance at all for vibration feature when firing weapon? or maybe when getting hit?

Best regards!

[Zaxx]

The new release is pretty badass, now that the demos play the main menu feels like home - and alive - again.

I find the spinning crosshair cursor super weird though.

You can change cursor to other, and you can disable playing demos in main menu

I updated BloodGDX to v0.790b with fixed "Dassert: nObject >= 0 && nObject < kMaxSprites" crash. Redownload it.

[Jim]

As long as we are already changing blood, I purpose two optional features

Permanent dual welding
Welding two different weapons in each hands

[m210®]

I released v0.791

OutOfMemory crash in 32bit java with hires textures fix
Mouse buttons settings fix
ReverbEffect after load game or newgame fix
Global sound volume fix
3x hires textures fix
Minor bug fixes

[Phredreeke]

Great - I didn't expect a fix to the textures so soon. That said, there appears to be a new bug as described by NightFright in the other thread. Also it brings back the old texture wrapping bug with the grandfather clock in E3M2 and other places. IMO it'd be better if modders just limit textures to a power of 2, rather than (re-)introduce bugs in the renderer. Would it be possible though if the game rescaled the textures to the closest power of 2 when using the texture?

Also, this is a really weird request, but would be helpful to reduce the size of the texture packs, as well as find missing tile/PLU combos... but would it be possible to make a log that flags each tile and PLU combination when they're used? Something like

0000(tilenumber):1000100111000(PLUs flagged that have been used at some point)

I just completed this. I liked the innovations you used. My only complaints would be starting the forklift (Hitting it? Really?), I couldn't find a 2nd hidden key to grab a medkit, that and I just couldn't find the skull key in Eviction. Luckily I was able to kill the boss with the Voodoo Doll.

I think I will working on RRGDX now

I'm looking forward to seeing the RedneckGDX source code. You must release it because of the GPL.

Why he should?

[Phredreeke]

Redneck Rampage is based on the Duke 3D source code
While M210 could theoretically reverse engineer everything and write his own implementation of it, it would be a mammoth endeavour compared to just basing it of the eduke32 source code and only reverse engineer the differences.

However, since eduke32 is GPL licensed, any project using eduke32 code would have to either release their own source code or negotiate a different license

[Hendricks266]

Witchaven and TekWar sources have been made available.

The Blood Alpha source was leaked.

Redneck Rampage is based on Duke 3D. The Duke 3D source was published under the GPL.

These are the only GDX projects M210 has undertaken. He has never started from nothing, which is why the Capstone games got ported before Powerslave did. I do not believe M210 reverse-engineered Redneck Rampage from scratch without any use of the Duke 3D code. Even if he did, the way to prove that he did not would be releasing a source code history of it being built from scratch. So, one way or another, we will need to see some source.

You have proofs whats M210 uses Duke 3D code? He can public nothing untill you prove it.

[Hendricks266]

Redneck Rampage uses Duke 3D code. I do not believe M210 would not take the same shortcut he did on all other projects on this one.

Why not? I think he uses same code from BloodGDX port to make it work.
