Blood

This was my favorite game among the build engine, i've heard they're making it in the Quake Engine.

I hope this masterpiece gets the same treatment of Rise of the Triad, a remake the most close as possible as the original, with Unreal Engine 3 or other kick ass graphics.

graphics really don't matter for me, but the engine does.

Looks like I missed that window of opportunity, it sucks when you live in different time zones because you are always trying to coordinate stuff on different schedules. I got work and a friend's birthday party to go to so I am booked today, but I imagine anytime Saturday the 16th after 8 PM EST till 1 am I should be free.
You can also email deadtenor at gmail and I will try to answer.

If anyone wants to play a multiplayer cooperative game of Blood game just PM me. No bloodbath dm please! Sadly, Blood/build engine uses p2p networking so a dedicated server is not practical. However, using this guide and ignoring the bits about the CPU I can get it going in a simulated ipx network through ip. I did use the built in tempate for "Blood 1.11.prof" on D-fend Reloaded (a DosBox frontend launcher). I am using Blood: One Whole Unit version 1.21 (not to be confused with the template). If you have any other version it won't work in multiplayer. Provided you meet all the criteria I can give you my ip address and we can connect.

As a sidenote here is a DoSBox CVS/custom build that addresses a bug with cd audio in build games.

well, of course the textures are still pixely, since you are using the original engine.

dosbox doesnt filter such textures of 2,5D games. the screen as a whole does get filtered if you change scaler=normal2x to one of the hq filters in the dosbox configs, but there's no filtering of textures itself

implenting fitlers like that would require modifications made to the engine,
and sadly the blood sourcecode was never released to the public so theres no different engines for it

Setting the high resolution results in smooth look, like in zdoom, or does it still look more like pixelated DOS game?

@hareton
totally, blood is epic
pick it up again and go play it

id suggest the gog.com version, and set in-game resolution to 800x600,
and then in dosboxblood.conf and dosboxblood_addon.conf in the installation directory,
set fullresolution=1920x1080 (or whatever res your screen supports at max)

that'll result too in blood playing at high-res, but wont result in slow fps,
which you do get if you set the in-game resolution higher then 800x600.
it looks the exact same that way, but without bad performance

I liked this game, but I don't remember if I completed all the levels... Probably not. Is it worth it?

[Amran]

Really neat to see the eduke32 port, thanks for posting this!

There's also the XL-Engine, a work in progress that intends to eventually include full support for Blood. It's unlikely that this will be completed in the near future however as there's currently a lot of focus on Daggerfall and Dark Forces support.

The pitchfork in this game reminds me of this, funny as hell!

random... isnt there some way to play online with blood in dosbox?

that would be awesome. got the gog.com edition of blood+ expansion myself, would be cool to be able to play it online. never got to play it online


assume the build-in online options included wont work anymore really nowadays?
or is there some way to make one of them work and be able to play online with someone with blood through dosbox?

[talisa]

i had transfusion years ago myself, but stopped cuz of lack of players, and the fact its only multiplayer deathmatch.

never been much into versus modes, always liked coop and sp more

[Shambler234]

Is there anyone even playing bloodbath?
Or at least transfusion?
