Don't panic, but I can't tell anymore now.
Everything will be good, but wait about month (or 2 months)
Just don't post anything on forums or public stuff

That sounds quite Mysterious.
Really glad to hear that everything will be good.
I guess this means that there will be some sort of announcement? Hopefully one that dosn't discount all your work into this project.

I saw in the other parts of the forum that perhaps NOLF (No One Lives Forever) might be back on track for release through Nightdive, as Blood is another Monolith property then perhaps it is also involved?

I guess we will all need to simply wait and see.....

Though its a little concerning that you removed the "everything will be good" line in your edited comment.

Pure speculation: it probably isn't bad news and I am guessing that M210's hard work is going to pay off as this source port is going to get some official recognition from Monolith or whoever owns the rights. (I think WB holds the rights to the IP?)

I really hope that's not the reason. Kaiser's "port" is a recreation rather than a reverse engineer like BloodGDX is. I don't care if he makes it, but not at the expense of BloodGDX. It would be really lame if they release that project and call it a Blood remaster while also shutting down BloodGDX in the process. But yeah, this is pure speculation and finger pointing is currently baseless and uncalled for.

It's fucking ridiculous that this ancient cult game is still being suppressed this hard for no reason. The source code should have been released more than a decade ago like all the other major FPS's of the time but nope. They then also have to go the extra mile and shit on the small community of fans keeping the game alive. You'd think this was a major cash cow franchise rather than a dead IP the way Atari (or whoever the IP holder is) clutches onto it and shuts down any attempt at goodwill the game receives.

I hope I'm overreacting and that in the end we actually receive positive news. Like you said though, the fact that "everything will be fine" was edited out is disconcerting.

That would be great and the best case scenario for this situation. I really hope this happens; we'll just have to wait and see.

I believe Warn Bro owns the intellectual property and Atari owns publishing rights. So you would almost need cooperation between the two for any new material. Unless the rights have been sold and we are simply unaware at the moment.

Look, we all saw how accurate BGDX is and that it has mod support and while we don't know much about BloodEX it's safe to assume that BGDX is in a more advanced state. If BGDX was removed because something's in the works it very well may be that it will be used as a basis for that.

I dont think that BloodEX is being currently worked on and is intended by Nightdive to be replacing BloodGDX. The developer of EX himself publicly said that EX is obsolete at this time because of the state GDX is in.

My theory: A third party got in touch with M210 so they can repackage his work and make an official release. Otherwise he wouldn't say 'don't worry' and 'wait a month or two'

So...No announcement is coming in the next few months?
Seems like an odd experiment.

Maybe something is still happening, but it dosn't need the links to be taken down? Or the links were taken down too soon.
Guess we won't know if or what anything is actually coming until it does...

Im working on DukeGDX now and completed it yesterday. But I don't know, may I release it before RedneckGDX port. I will start working on RRgdx tommorow.

Also I learn my app to use SF2 banks for playing MIDIs. The next Bloodgdx will have this feature

If there is something we really need it is Shadow warrior port from you.


All other ports of SW stutter and dont run smooth.

I have no idea what you are doing in your ports that nobody else has done before but it is working cause the interpolotion you made is amazing,

Use EDuke32's engine?

I'm not planning to use Eduke32 engine.
Btw, what are you mean about eduke32's engine? Eduke's con-scripts?

My target in duke3d porting is just for debug. It will be easier to port RR when I will be sure, that duke's code working fine.

It's just a Ken's interpolation code, nothing new. As I know, eduke32 handling this alghorithm too, but this algorithm working not good with vsync, so I want to rewrite game cycle...I still don't know what result I will reach

I compared my code with jfbuild and eduke32's engine.c, but a lot of main engine's methods not from jfduke or eduke - it's from original build by Ken

So, as you can see, I'm using only minor fixes from eduke32 code, like eduke32 using my some fixes.

public void printfps() //eduke32
public void setaspect_new() { //eduke32 aspect
public int drawrooms() { //eDuke32 visibility set
public int cansee() { //eduke32 sectbitmap

drawrooms using a few eduke's variables for polymost shades and fog
printfps - is a code from zdoom
setaspect - widescreen support
cansee - minor optimization?

And as we talking about interpolation, should I say, that this eduke32's fixes don't affect to smoothfactor of interpolation?

THANK YOU! :( Btw. this does not only affect vsync, screen tearing is a lot more agressive than it should be too because of it.

If Devon is talking about Ken's interpolation, then it's not anything special to the GDX ports.

I dont know alot about these things really.

But when i compare shadow warrior (pick a port) with Bloodgdx in windowed fullscreen it is night and day between them.

Bloodgdx runs smooth as butter but sw stutters and seems to have some kind of frame skip or something idk... cant solve it though.
tried everything from capping fps too limiting cpu cores but nah nothing works on sw.

It sounds like you have vsync enabled. Disable it from inside the game and instead enable it from your graphics driver's control panel.
