Ah, nevermind. Bloodgdx.exe is a custom exe I made to launch the game. Completely forgot about it. XD Must be a false positive.

[The Battlelord]

FInally a nice port to play One Unit Whole Blood, in some way feel easier to play on this one.

Some Blood's image copied and converted/edited to icons i did for myself, you can use them to customize your folders and or shortcuts:

 Blood icons.zip (290.91K)
Number of downloads: 22

please, let me know if doing this i break some rule in some way, i'll provide to remove it asap.

Any more work done on BloodGDX since last update?

[m210®]

No, I didn't working on BloodGDX yet

[Phredreeke]

Besides the new resampling options, what's left to add to BloodGDX? (outside of the renderer, which is shared between M210's ports)

Edit: to answer my own question, some kind of scripting system to change enemy and weapon behaviour, but that's a huge endeavour.

[m210®]

Resampling is a part of Engine, so it's not need to add to other GDX ports, it's just need to recompile, and maybe add tweak features in menu.

Probably not much, I can imagine only some features that would enhance user friendliness like:
- image support for videos without need to extract them
- native support for DualShock controller (now it works correctly only with wrappers)
- maybe some installer

Plus a webpage with links to the latest versions of enhancement packs would be useful.

[ChristianTheSatanist]

Hopefully, split-screen can still be worked on?

That's actually the one last thing I wanted to see in particular.

[Phredreeke]

Splitscreen breaks the ROR implementation. Which is why I suggested M210 add it to his Duke port first.

I haven't tried BloodGDX yet. So basically, the core game is more or less fully finished and playable, and there's no point waiting around for the project to be 'completed'?

I've never played through Blood from start to finish, partly due to technical limitations of the original.

It is pretty finished yes, some small bugs left maybe but nothing big. Latest release was back in July so not much more happening with it right now.

Thanks!

Can you add a function for MP to see the ping (latency in ms)?

[VGA]

Are there any skyboxes I can use with BloodGDX so the sky isn't a billboard?

[Phredreeke]

Original skyboxes previously included with BloodGDX

Upscaled fuzzy boxes by me and Tiddalick

I added net_bufferjitter command. It's latency in gameticks, you can use it.

[Paar]

I've noticed that when screen shakes during explosions it looks like the picture is made from jelly (I don't know how to describe it better). I have compared it to the original game and in it it looks fine (similar to Duke 3D). Is the shake code different?

[Tekedon]

Can't say I have that problem. If I understand correctly what you mean.

[Phredreeke]

It has to do with framerate being higher than the display. Without VSync each frame as displayed are made up by several segments from separate frames, each with its own offset from the shake effect.

[VGA]

It sucks that Vsync messes up the mouse input for me. I need to have it disabled and get a lot of screen tearing I have set the frame limit to 60fps which is my monitor's max.

Will try it with VSync on. I play with VSync off most of the time as I cannot stand the input lag it creates. Thanks for the tip.

[SonicB00M]

Try Borderless Window. It doesn't fuck up your mouse movement but still gets rid of the tearing.

That's kinda better, thanks.

By the way @M210 my Logitech G15's volumekeys are registered by the game. Volume Down pauses the game and toggles Autorun (which is set to CapsLock)

[Paar]

I would like to confirm that the quake issues I had were indeed caused by high framerate. Limiting fps to 60 Hz or turning on VSync resolved those issues.

[Fantinaikos]

Openal drivers update to 1.18.1 or the new sound options may have affected the performance someway? From 0.795 Sound and music (more the CD music from the ogg files, less with midi) crackling and popping, and there are mini freezes. Unless is the libgdx framework 1.9.8 introduced from there but I don't think so.
