How do i get colored blood on prboom+?

[Spaicrab]

I know there are mods for gzdoom that do exactly this, but how can i get something that fixes the baron's and cacodemon's blood on prboom+?

[Gez]

I don't think it's possible.

Oh, alright

We could misuse the player color translation tables for this, we would just need to add a check that we are not in a netgame (OTOH, how many red pixels to translate are there in a player sprite?).

Oh wow thanks, you should tell more people about this!

[fabian]

Well, it's only a crude hack at the moment.

Maybe @Never_Again will be so kind to provide another test build of the latest state in GIT?

This is great news! I had been keeping an eye on this feature request for months, it's nice to see it incorporated at last.

Done.

Thank you for the headsup, Fabian, I'd never think to look in a thread like this. ;)

[Spaicrab]

Hell yeah, thank you guys!
Alright but um.... how do i use this?

There should be an option somewhere in the settings.

Damn, prboom is becoming a "modern" source port. Thanks to Never_Again, fabian, seed and others.

That's quite generous of you, but I haven't done any work on PrBoom, apart from a few bug reports in places and some suggestions.

 

And supplied various builds for Windows. But that's about it.

 

As for the topic, the option should be somewhere under Setup - Enemies, near the end.

Thank you so much for this link. I think feel there's improvement over the version I have. Maybe this one has crispier pixels, better lighting and some more features. 

Do you think there's a chance that brightmaps like in Crispy Doom will be introduced in prboom+? 

A strange detail I noticed in prboom+ is that the skybox in E5M9 of Sigil lacks detail, which is normally seen in Crispy Doom.

Tested blood color on Eviternity map02 and the hell knight had red blood.

Did you enable the colored blood setting? (Options -> Setup -> Enemies)

[Pixel Fiend]

This did the trick. Wonderful
