Finally! Blood supported within Eduke32!
Since they won't give me the ability to post on Duke4 (registered a few days ago), I'll just say it here.

THANK YOU NUKEYKT!

I just played through the first two episodes and it's amazingly smooth. Haven't had this much fun playing Blood in years. About time someone did this! (Yes, I tried BloodGDX before, but had some issues. This thing works without a hitch.)
Love the alt-hud!

Do cutscenes work?
How faithful is it to the original?
I would say it's like 95%.
The biggest issues right now appear to be with rotating sectors, and some hit scan issues.

But it's kinda funny that folks have been reporting bugs that were part of Blood originally, including the flame guy and the game crashing from plant pod projectiles.

NukeYKT said he had fixed the well done and extra crispy damage bug.

gameragodzilla, I have not been able to get cut-scenes to work, but I might be doing something wrong. The sourcecode on github has references to smaker libraries, so I'm not 100% certain what is going on there.

Sounds like issue #33. You need to copy the MOVIE folder from the CD image (game.gog). The source CD wasn't made with 2048 blocks so it may be easier to do this inside DOSBox. Either edit both the dosboxBlood_single.conf & the actual DOSBox launch command remove exit & -exit respectively or startup DOSBox and type the adjusted mount commands manually. Then from the DOSBox C:\ prompt:
mkdir MOVIE
copy D:\MOVIE MOVIE
I compiled the current NBlood (2969d430f3dba23d73382a1735e4ac1f189d8c1b) and with the MOVIE folder copied cut-scenes played fine. Well, the one at the start of a new game. Which is all I tested.

I'll have to try it that way. I was being lazy and copied it from my Blood 1.11 CD. I had it in a movie subfolder under the Blood directory as you sugested, and I had edited the Blood.ini file to point to the proper directory on the hard drive. But I wasn't sure if nBlood looks at that for anything other than the map lists. Either way, it didn't seem to work.

I haven't tried compiling it myself, but I did try it with the test build NukeYKT posted on discord. I can be patient. I'm still floored that he got it working as well as it is.

I imagine the movies would be the same, so I doubt that's it. Pretty sure nBlood doesn't use any paths in the Blood.ini file. I haven't change it from the GOG defaults. That references D:\ for the movies. As I'm on Linux there is no such thing a D:\ or C:\.
I don't what the build was on discord, but he pushed a fix for cutscene playback on Linux on February 18th. Which of course is relevant for me. The 1.0 release was from the 12th and looking just now there were a number of cutscene commits pushed on the 14th. You likely just need a newer build.

I downloaded a newer build of NBlood and yes the cutscenes do work.
Where can users download this newer version for windows.

I only see the same version up on NukeYKT's website that doesn't support cutscenes.

And as I know nothing about compiling code I'd just like to download a precompiled version that supports cutscenes.

A few other builds have been uploaded on discord. This is R7335

I think you should be able to download that without having a discord account.
I do own a discord NukeYKT linked me the file himself..

So I already got it :D

But good too have the link here as well so others can get cutscenes working with nblood
Anyone know how to get nBlood to work with the SC-55 music pack?
