Lutz Posted January 20, 2003 Copywrite laws aside...is there any .WAD out there that uses monster & weapon sprites from Blood? And FYI, I have browsed around DW for quite some time, but if this has come up before, sorry. Not that me saying that will stop someone from pointing out any idiocy on my part, but still...I tried. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kinsie Posted January 20, 2003 CW's Zombies remix has the burning guy, and there's Cultist and Caleb skins for Legacy and Zdoom out there somewhere. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted January 20, 2003 The things I am aware of (the ones Trasher][ mentioned) use sprites that have been resized. So some detail has been lost as the original Blood sprites on the whole are larger than Doom ones. If you persevere and get Zdoom editing down pat, then you can use the original graphics and get Zdoom to scale them instead - thereby giving you hi-res sprites with no detail loss. 0 Share this post Link to post

Or you could do the same thing in Edge if you familiarize yourself with a bit of DDF. 0 Share this post Link to post
Biffy Posted January 22, 2003 Enjay, FYI, I still have that blood guy skin you made, we use it in coop and DM. Haven't added any player sounds to it yet. Wasn't the burning death used in allhell.wad? Maybe it was the Heretic burning death... 0 Share this post Link to post

I've never actually allocated it to a bot, so I've never seen what it looks like in game, other than by chasecam. I'll have to check sometime. I *think* the burning death in allhell was the Heretic one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Biffy Posted January 23, 2003 Yeah, now I remember, the allhell one is the player dropping to his knees, holding a vertical object, screaming while he burns rapidly to the core. The Blood one has those zombies howling, running and flailing their arms at the same time! Then they drop, burnt. 0 Share this post Link to post

Don't forget about the beating hearts they dropped, which gave the player 25 health points. Blood! An excellent game, creepy and atmospheric. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted January 23, 2003 I think those hearts, or Life Essence, only gives out 20 health. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted January 23, 2003 Anyone know where to get a full version of Blood legally? I've tried a few places, monolith's site, e-bay searches etc but nothing. Anyone? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted January 23, 2003 It isn't easy. I found mine at a computer show, and they only had one or two copies more. It's kind of funny, since I went back a month later, and there was a couple dozen copies there. I found other old games there, like Shadow Warrior, Duke Nukem, and Dark Forces. 0 Share this post Link to post
ReX Posted January 23, 2003 Computer shows are great places to get old and out-of-date software. Back before I had internet access I had heard about a Star Wars TC for DooM I and of course the Aliens TC. I found both of these at a computer show. (But the 10 bucks I paid for each was a rip-off, as those guys simply downloaded it for free and put it on diskettes!) I recently bought a Redneck Rampage & Redneck Rampage Rides Again pack for $10 from the bargain bin at Best Buy. Also Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force for $10. Haven't seen Blood, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

ReX Posted January 24, 2003 Biffy said:A little zombie-head soccer anyone? That was hilarious. As a matter of fact, in the carnival level in Episode 1 you had to kick a zombie-head through the mouth of this grotesque clown face to open a secret area. Funny and grim at the same time. IMO Blood was in many ways better than Duke3D, which I thought was a very good game. 0 Share this post Link to post

deathz0r Posted January 24, 2003 GLEDGE is slow, buggy, and it has horrible sprite blur. Oh, and the flash frames are out of sync. 0 Share this post Link to post
