Everything looking like tiny little squares ain't that great either.

The correct solution is making high res textures

, there is no in between.

Is that what you plan on with your new shadow warrior episode? Please still give the option of using texture filter tho.

Or then you just embrace the pixelated graphics since that is what the game is meant too look like. And pixelart is beautiful in it's own way. Pixelated graphics does not equal a shitty game.

In reality you got some free filtering on the old CRT monitors. If you take a 90's game, play it on a CRT, and then play it on a flat screen, you'll notice things look way better on the CRT.

yeah things are way to clear on todays screens.
Maybe implement a filter feature a la Emulator style.

That would be the right way to go.

These versions are coming out fast, and always add something fun to the mix.

I'm loving the split-HUD option, custom voxels, and especially the true widescreen support. Did you test for ultrawide before release? It works perfectly as well as standard 16:9!

Thank you for listening, i can now run up and down slopes without sluggish movement thanks to your slope tilting interpolation, and the lookup fix it very nice aswell =D
widescreen is such a blessing on a 65inch tv.. i can see so much more now!

The gargoyles dont fly away from me, and i dont have to chase the bigger ones to get keys and trigger events!

Were the weapons not stretched in the first place?
they are not affected by the widescreen option turning on/off.

Can i add voxels by simply put them in the kvx folder?

i know im a bit too enthusiastic here for some people.. but im just so grateful for this that you are doing Alexander.

You will receive and nice donation in a couple of days for all your hard work.

Best regards!

I disabled stretching after add widescreen support.

yes, you can....but you will get fps drop when a lot of voxel will draw

Because there is a lot of glBegin/glEnd...converted voxels are equals to hi-end poly models also, there is a lot of polygons

and I don't know, but in eduke32 voxel rendering at twice faster...I think it's my typo in the code, because without voxels drawing I have the same fps. Anyway it's not problem to rewrite triangles array to VBO and calling it as DrawElements in renderer

When you ported over eduke32 to java, why did you take the fixed function(aka glbegin/glend) in the first place? GPU's now a days can push millions of polys, you just have to submit your data to the GPU properly : ). VBO's will help, so your not resubmiting all the geo to the GPU every frame. If your still having performance issues after that, you have a huge problem in your renderer.

Because my main task was to make and debug the Blood's code. If I had to write a new renderer I would have taken Duke3d too and start to write new renderer without glBegin/glEnd. But it's not my main task, and I just added voxels drawing as bonus for my Blood port, that it was more interesting for people to play in it and continue to find bugs

Just tested the new version. The widescreen support is amazing. I'm also very fond of the addition of "stats". So thank you very much.

Performance is indeed a bit lower, but disabling the new voxels (by deleting "voxel.def") solves this problem on my part.

Just one suggestion: I find the game a bit too bright for my taste in the actual renderer (even after adjusting "gamma"). Would it be possible to add the same options as in EDuke32 ("contrast", "brightness" and "visibility")?

Once again: great work !

I can add visibility option, but contrast and brightness I can't...it's need to write native code for Java (jni). I still haven't experience for it

Is there a way I can access the BloodBath levels included with Blood to take a look around?

Press T. Enter MARIO 5 X where X is the number of a map from 1 to 11.

I just replayed the first episode of Blood using your GDX port and I said it before, but I have to stress this: the widescreen support, the smooth fps and the modern mouselook do wonders for the game. One of the most underrated FPS games of all time finally gets a well deserved overhaul.

Thank you very much !

Agreed!

I know I've said it before in my bug report posts, but thank you once again M210 for BloodGDX!

I've been waiting years to be able to play this game smoothly & in higher resolutions, and now we finally can. The port is already amazing in its current version, and I'm sure it will only get better & better from here!

Keep up the great work
