How accurate is this to the original? Every attempt at a Blood "source port" I've seen was either complete shit, or pretty accurate but still not worth bothering with because something always felt off.

>inb4 why don't you play it and find out faggot?

>>15167036

it's good enough. the only issue is with the pre-rendered cutscenes, they don't play.

>>15167051

ive had no issues with the cutscenes

>>15167051

Read the readme, dummy.

>>15167074

thanks, i didn't know that

So anyone wanna play ?

Wait I thought I remember reading it was impossible to create an OpenMW type of engine for this game and people were crying for Atari or whoever to release the source code. I'd be down to play.

More like a Doom type of engine where people have free access to the source code. Considering only one of the original developers allegedly still has the source code and Atari are greedy kikes, the best people can do is reverse engineer the game with bits and bobs from the Build Engine code. But this isn't exactly easy considering Blood runs on a heavily modified version of the Build Engine.

Blood withstood the test of time

for what i heard from all these years is that Monolith lost the source code long ago like arround 2005.

>>15167375

There's various rumors floating around, none of them confirmed.

One thing caught my attention in the changelog:

>BloodGDX should work on JRE9 and JRE10 now

Funny because when I first tried BloodDGX a long time ago I was already using JRE9 and never had problems with it.

>>15167375

No, they "have" the code, but they are not legally allowed to use it. Since the game was originally distributed or published by Atari. The only way they could get it out was to agree to basically signing the rights almost away. So if anyone is to ask, its Atari.

>>15167036

i noticed that the 3D sound is better but there are a few small texture bugs in the walls, still it feels a little weird of how smooth it plays when i played the dosbox version for so long.

>java

>why?

what's the roblem whit java? you had any bad experience whit libgdx framework?

>>15167375

Two guys from Monolith still got source code, including Jace Hall who was a CEO of the studio at the time.

Nothing can be done officially with it because Jewtari owns all the rights to it.

You know, I'd just wish the dev gave the same attention to TekwarGDX. It's pretty much abandoned.

>>15166749

Hopefully, the support for OpenGL would mean it can finally run properly with vsync. Screen tearing with build engine games is awful.

>java

>propietary

Trash.

>>15166749

Nice. That could make a gamenight.

this version seems to mess up my mouse, its twitching around awfully bad but on whatever older version i had it worked perfectly. other than that it doesn't seem to detect fluidsynth as a midi synth, though hopefully that will be fixed with a reboot

>t-t-thats all, folks

>>15171078

i guess fluidsynth wont work, at least the cd music seems to work. as for the mouse input it seemed to be caused by it detecting a plugged in controller so unplugging that appears to have fixed it. i am very surprised to see how far this port has come, it plays great

>>15171103

Why don't you just use bassmidi or something?
