buy the fucking game

Is there any place to get previous versions of BuildGDX? I want to compare performance between versions. Or alternatively is there a place to download BloodGDX? All I can find is BuildGDX.

Also, how do you run mods in Blood? In DOSBox I mean. Not with any source ports or the remaster. I want to be able to compare accuracy in the mods vs. how they run in other versions.

>>5612293
What did he mean by this?

>>5612347
>how do you run mods in Blood? In DOSBox
blood.exe -ini modname.ini

if using bmouse, then:
bmouse.exe launch blood.exe -ini modname.ini

or just patch blood.exe with build mouse fix so that you don't have to fuck around:

Finished chapter 1 and 2 so far on extra crispy.
2 felt rushed desu, not sure if because i went to the secret level and amassed so much ammo that i didnt need it on the last 2 levels, but the spider boss seem bugged, it stayed idle most of the time while i blasted it with the napalm launcher.

>>5612424
You used Fresh Supply?

Blood or Bloom?

whole unit blood

>>5612469
okay, this is epic

Blood is shit, play Duke Nukem 3D instead.

>>5613040
blood is the best build game and you cannot possibly think otherwise

>>5613043
Only a few 4chan autists think of this game fondly. Normies put this game where it belongs: the virtual garbage can.

>>5613040

Duke Nukem 3D is shit, play Shadow Warrior instead.

>>5613043
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I've never played Blood; what's the best way to play it? The remaster?

>>5613251
BloodGDX

>>5613043
>>5613131
>>5613232
It is the best build game honestly, creative use of the engine, varied level design. My only knocks are the weapons are a little clunky and having 6 key types makes some levels hard to navigate

>>5612293
*buy the 20 year old game that recently got jewed up

>>5613251
NBlood or the remaster, GDX doesn't support the original palette so the colors look all wrong.

Just install One Unit Whole Blood (either from GOG or Steam), unpack the NBlood package into the folder and then run nblood.exe.

https://nukeykt.retrohost.net/

>>5613251
download whole unit blood on archive.org

then you can either play nblood or bloodgdx. I tried both and like gdx better

>>5612163
>getting so good that Lightly Broiled is easy to me
>Well Done isn't fun because of the hitscanners

I need like a Medium Rare difficulty. Also the recent beta crashes when quick loading.

>>5615337
there is custom difficulty on bloodgdx

>>5612408
>how do you run mods in Blood
All the mods I've downloaded come with a bat file so you don't need to actually do anything, literally just plug and play, after adding the bat to the dosbox autoexec.

>>5613443
I'm playing BloodGDX right now. This game is fucking hard as shit.

>>5615813
Yeah the game has a lot of artificial difficulty with how crazy the AI reaction times can be and how much damage you take.

>>5615813
I had to turn down difficulty to Lightly Broiled.

>>5615828
im playing on extra crispy but yea savescumming is real

>>5613251
NBlood LOOKS more accurate. BuildGDX PLAYS more accurately.

>>5615868
that second can was overkill, noob detected

>>5612469
This is a punch in the eye.
>>5612424
Your mom felt rushed.
>>5612347
What's the problem with BuildGDX? It's way more functional and updated than BloodGDX afaik.
>>5615820
Fuck off with your artificial difficulty meme, you guys are pathetic. >>5615813 Just crouch a lot, use alt-fire often, use the right weapons with the right enemies, use items wisely, jump and run like a spastic and again, fucking crouch.

Kys blood is garbage>>5613040

>>5613192
Shadow Warrior is shit, play Redneck Rampage instead.

>>5616191
Redneck Rampage is shit. Play Hexen instead

>>5615813
The game has difficulty options.

I'm slowly progressing through the game on Well Done by savescumming (currently on E2, holy shit it's so much easier than E1, I even did E2M1 in my first attempt with no deaths)
I'm starting to question the "crouch always" advice. I've spent hours testing it and it seems like placebo. I've had much more success dodging gunfire by jumping around a lot than crouching

>kill enemy
>homer simpson scream

sneed

>>5616853
Do a combination of both depending on the situation. I'm sure crouching works at least somewhat.

>>5616859
You wish you were Chuck

>>5616967
I'm going to chuck you

I am savouring this game so much its silly. Why did I miss it?

Caled is amazing, levels are glorious. Already got the hang of it in Well Done and replayed it with minimal saves. The weapons are satisfying, the movement satisfying its so fucking good.

GDX is better.

Fuck Death Wish. Holy fuck is the second episode just crammed full of shit that will instakill you.

THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I AM LITERALLY RELOADING EVERY 2 MINUTES FOR A FREAKING HOUR PLUS.

>>5617402
Why are you zoomers all playing on Well Done/Extra Crispy ON YOUR FIRST FUCKING PLAYTHROUGH?!

It's an old game, hard means hard means extra challenge for veterans, not just renamed normal like in your modern AAA trash.

>>5617418
Maybe they come from Dukes hardest mode, its more easy.

>>5616786
>>5616790
This is auto aiming right?

Fuck Blood and buildshit. All inferior to Quake

>>5617418

To be fair the second to hardest difficulty is usually the "go to" difficulty for almost every other shooter of the era. People want the highest amount of enemies to kill, but aren't expecting Blood to also increase enemy stats as well.

People think Well Done=Ultra Violence/Come Get Some when it's more of a Nightmare difficulty and Extra Crispy is Nightmare+

>>5618015
Don't be an elitist faggot, you're making it harder for your kind. Just enjoy both and don't be a whining bitch.

>>5617328

>People think Well Done=Ultra Violence/Come Get Some
I'm playing Well Done right now and that's exactly what I though. The game kicked my ass at first but it's not so bad now.

>>5618192
>>>/v/

>>5617402
This guy is right>>5617418 especially for death wish
Breeze through it once on lightly broiled, then come back to it on well done / extra crispy or better yet, custom difficulty with bloodgdx, max enemies numbers (equivalent to extra crispy) but not max enemy health nor damage (equivalent to well done).
Death wish is absolutely amazing, but you need to somewhat know the maps to make it pleasant on well done and above. Not especially for enemy placement (though it helps, obviously) but for secrets, since there are almost no napalm launchers or voodoo dolls available otherwise.

>>5617418
First of all, I'm not a zoomer.
Second of all, I'm playing on the second easiest setting. The reason I'm getting pissed off, is the map maker for the second episode of death wish seems to enjoy cramming sadistic encounters into all of his maps. Not even the vanilla game map makers thought it would be cute to have you basically relive a fucking road runner cartoon in video game format.

>>5616602
Hexen is shit, play Chex Quest instead.

>>5618254
Its usually getting resources the hardest part, then the game gives health and ammo plenty to kill stuff.

But you WILL get hurt by cultists.

they don't make FPS levels like they used to

>>5618859
>Second easiest
So you just suck then

>>5615820
Dude that webm is completely the player's mess-up, going around a corner that fast is just asking for a shotgun to the face
Usually you can see the sides of the enemy before they even become active and if anything you should atleast stop after you notice the first one instead of running into 20 guys

I can't seem to get any music Midi or CD to work on Redneck Rampage GDX, Help!!

>>5621868
i think you have to go to options and switch audio to cd or something. i don't remember. Have you tried messing around on the settings?

>>5621871
I had changed it from Microsoft option to the others but I still get no music, Unless their is a .ini file that I missed to mess around with the music settings.

>>5615820
>runs over in plain sight when you know there is an entire pack of cultists there
yes you had to know about it to try that dynamite aiming
>not using weapons weapons that stun locks cultists like tommy gun or shotgun
>not crouching to help avoid some of the bullets

ARTIFICIAL DIFFICULTY REEEEE

>>5622220
Also, not having the akimbo at that point means you probably wasted it

>>5621868
RR has no midi music.

You can just listen to the soundtrack on youtube while playing.
It's the exact same thing, in fact, it's better. In game it switches track every time you die or change map, even in the middle or start of it, which can be annoying.

>>5620043
>making an fps level used to require a comprehensive understanding of multiverse theory.

>>5620043
This one game with name trouble could be a contender...

On ep4, first play through. Playing on Well Done and using nblood.

The game is pretty easy on Well Done. I struggled in the first few levels of ep1, but that was because I was paying enemies far too much respect after reading the memes about cultists. If you aren't scared and play aggressive for the most part you'll sail through it. Perhaps it's the engine?

Regardless, I love the game. It's a shame I never played it at the time, despite playing almost every other fps game (even Klingon honour guard!). I really will be sad when I complete all the content, as I always look forward to playing it.

I must admit it was this board and Civvie episodes that made me download it. I did play and enjoy the blood 2 demo and shogo demo when they came out though, just oddly missed out on blood itself.
