Reverse-engineered ports of Build games using EDuke32 engine technology and development principles

NBlood

Blood port based on EDuke32

Installing

1. Extract NBlood to a new directory

2. Copy the following files from Blood 1.21 to NBlood folder:

   BLOOD.INI
   BLOOD.RFF
   BLOOD000.DEM-BLOOD003.DEM (optional)
   CP01.MAP-CP09.MAP (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CPART07.AR_ (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CPART15.AR_ (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CPBB01.MAP-CPBB04.MAP (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CPSL.MAP (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CRYPTIC.INI (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CRYPTIC.SMK (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   CRYPTIC.WAV (optional, Cryptic Passage)
   GUI.RFF
   SOUNDS.RFF
   SURFACE.DAT
   TILES000.ART-TILES017.ART
   VOXEL.DAT

3. Optionally, if you want to use CD audio tracks instead of MIDI, provide FLAC/OGG recordings in following format: bloodXX.flac/ogg, where XX is track number. Make sure to enable Redbook audio option in sound menu.

4. Optionally, if you want cutscenes and you have the original CD, copy the movie folder into NBlood's folder (the folder itself too). If you have the GOG version of the game, rename game.gog to game.bin and game.inst to game.cue and mount the cue as a virtual CD (for example with WinCDEmu), there you will have the movie folder.

5. Launch NBlood (on Linux, to play Cryptic Passage, launch with the -ini CRYPTIC.INI parameter)

Notes

Demo playback is not yet working.

Adjusting settings

We are currently working on fancy new menus for the game. In the meantime, you can edit the settings.cfg file in the game directory that's created on first run.

To invert the mouse, add the line 'in_mouseflip 0' to settings.cfg. To change the FOV, add a new line to settings.cfg, e.g. 'fov "120"' where 120 is the desired FOV value between 60 and 140.

Building from source

See: https://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Main_Page

Building from norender source

Using msys2 and mingw gcc to compile... you need to add NORENDER=1 to the make command im order to build the nblood.exe which you can rename to nblood_server.exe as it only works with the -server #ofplayers string in cmd, bat file, or a shortcut.
