The instructions in the readme are great, thanks! I got everything working fine except for bmouse, which I'm still not sure how to use since dw.bat runs "blood -ini dw.ini" while bmouse needs to do something like "bmouse.exe blood" and it won't accept the "-ini dw.ini"

Yeah I've been messing with that and I can't seem to get anything to work. Maybe it's a limitation of bMouse itself? I think I might try to contact the creator and see if he knows anything. Or maybe our own Tecman knows something. Here's a post of his about getting it to work on vanilla Blood over on the GOG forums http://www.gog.com/en/forum/blood_series/bmouse_0_5_mouse_driver_that_fixes_the_terrible_mouselook_on_dos_build_games

OK so I got bMouse working. Turns out the only reason it didn't before is that I hosed up and put it in the wrong Blood install because I have so many of them. So to get bMouse working, copy bmouse.exe into your Blood directory. Now edit your BLOOD.CFG and change the following values: quote:ExternalFilename = "BMOUSE.EXE" (this tells the game to use bmouse as an "external device" executable) Now at the end of your dosboxBloodDW.conf file edit the end so it looks like this: quote:[autoexec] The bmouse.exe line being the important one. And this might be optional but I noticed that the Good Old Games install contains an outdated version of DOSBox. I updated to .74 by overwriting these files in the DOSBox folder: quote:dosbox.exe Of course make backups of anything you overwrite first but this version of DOSBox is supposed to play better with Blood. Hope this all works because it seems to run fine for me!

Okay, I've done a quick update to the Launcher. If anything doesn't work, please yell at me so I can fix it ASAP. I hope to god I chose the correct version to update from, since I had a couple of things planned which didn't work out. Version control? What's that?  The .rar files contain an updated executable with the mod added to the list, a .bat file which directly launches Death Wish (just in case) and the DOSBox config file that points to the mod. The structure matches the one in the Launcher. The second version also contains a folder for the mod, a modified .ini file for it, bMouse and modified config files for the main game (just like the other mods use in my launcher). If you want to just install Death Wish: http://blood.nanoaugur.net/DeathWish-BloodFolder.rar In this case, the mod needs to be installed to this subfolder structure inside the launcher: ..\Games\Blood\ The installation order doesn't matter here; either install the mod first, or this update first, nothing should conflict. If you want to install Death Wish but want to separate it into its own folder for Save Game reasons or what not: http://blood.nanoaugur.net/DeathWish-SeparateFolder.rar In this case, a clean copy of One Unit Whole Blood and the mod need to be installed to: ..\Games\DethWish\ This .rar includes a modified version of dw.ini, so it points to the new cutscenes correctly. Preferable install order here would be: a clean copy of the game copied to \Games\DethWish\ (not death, deth, blame 8 char limits), then install the Death Wish mod to the same folder, then install the update (this way the .ini should point correctly). So either keep my .inis, or (and this is the case if the mod ever gets updated) you'll have to open dw.ini and change all instances of C:\Blood\ to C:\DethWish\. Unless you don't give a poo poo about the cutscenes, in which case it doesn't matter.  Example of the .ini changes (in case you need to do them manually), from: [Episode1] CutSceneA=C:\Blood\dw1a.smk CutWavA=C:\Blood\dw1a.wav CutSceneB=C:\Blood\dw1b.smk CutWavB=C:\Blood\dw1b.wav to [Episode1] CutSceneA=C:\DethWish\dw1a.smk CutWavA=C:\DethWish\dw1a.wav CutSceneB=C:\DethWish\dw1b.smk CutWavB=C:\DethWish\dw1b.wav Don't forget to do this for all 3 episodes!

I found a nasty bug in the second episode that can prevent a key from dropping. You will all want to update your files. Download Updated Death Wish http://www.moddb.com/mods/death-wish-for-blood/ README also updated with bMouse info. I edited my previous post to match this one. Sorry for the trouble — at the end of development I was testing Co-Op mode and this is an error that only occurs during Single-Player.

Deathwish has been working great for me, with the only exception being that it is really hard to activate buttons and switches. It seems you have to be at the exact right distance and angle to trigger them.

Yeah that's sort of a Build engine thing. The vast majority of buttons and switches in the regular games were huge and planted only on vertical surfaces. In Death Wish he tried to go for a more realistic approach for some by putting them on terminals or other non-vertical surfaces. I guess having to be accurate with where you're looking to active them is the tradeoff.

The default Mapedit object clipset is fairly small (32) so that when you make blocking objects the player can get around them easily. For some things, like blocking invisible objects used for see-through bridges, I would up the clipset to something higher (like 255). I don't think the original game assumes the player is using mouselook at all and makes the switch size/location a little clunky. Honestly, I don't know how I used to play this using the arrow keys instead of WSAD & Mouse.

Yeah, I don't think I ever really had a problem with DOSBOX, asides from learning how to configure stuff on my own since GOG.com and Steam kind of just slap a generic configuration for all the games that run it.

All of those tombstone sprites look kind of wonky. quote:I’m still working on refactoring the world system. So far the object and logic system are finished. The XL Engine takes the Object/Logic system from DarkXL and extends it. Now objects (i.e. entities/actors) are purely component based rather then using a mix of inheritance and components like DarkXL engine. Objects can have one or more Logic components – which can be implemented in either script or code. These control the function/AI of the objects and almost all of them will be implemented in scripts (except for the player and networked objects). If you have multiple logics on a single object, then they are simply run in order. This allows for simpler, reusable, behaviors to be chained together. Similarly there’s a game data component which is used by the scripts or game code, render component to handle various types of renderable objects (voxels, sprites, models, etc.) and so on. This will allow user mods to add new enemies, powerups, items, weapons, etc. or modify existing logics all through script code – allowing powerful modding capabilities without worrying about the OS or compiling code.

I know sound was a problem in older DOSBox versions that's for sure but I think you'll be good with that now. Plus if you get the GOG Blood you don't have to worry about mounting your CD drive and having the disk in to listen to the good version of the soundtrack as their version has the CD audio built in. As for performance, yeah you do need a semi-decent computer I guess but anything from the past five years should be able to run it in DOSBox at 640 resolution.

If you haven't been playing "No More Room in Hell", you have been missing out. No crosshairs, no health indicators, no loving heal kits. You sprint and get tired. Once you get bit there is a big chance you might become a zombie. You can only hold it off for so long if you have pills. This game is basically BrainBread, but 100x better. This is what an actual Zombie game is, not that pathetic Left for Dead. Huge amount of guns and weapons. You hold reload to check your ammo. You have to shoot the zombies in their brains, not just their heads. You can hold your flashlight WITH your pistol out. It's dark, it's scary. There are no second chances. PLAY THIS YOU FUCKS! http://www.nomoreroominhell.com/

Yodzilla and I played through a level in Co-Op on Extra Crispy. Note: The Voodoo Doll does not know friend from foe. We're going to see if we can set something up where you can play through Death Wish in Co-Op Map-to-Map like you can with the original episodes instead of playing the missions individually as "User Maps."

Given how long NMRiH has been in development, I almost consider it an Early FPS game anyway. With that, Source is really starting to age. I hope that isn't too detrimental to the community. NMRiH is easily one of the best mods Source has seen in a long time. The 1.01 patch they put out last night (after just a few days) was a massive improvement over the release version and really shows these guys know what they're doing have been working incredibly hard on the mod.

DEATH WISH UPDATE 11-4-11 WITH VERSION 1.1 Apparently when I was uploading updates to the original file to the ModDB database it was not overwriting the old version, and none of the fixes were made. I deleted the original file and have now uploaded version 1.1, which brings together all the patches that have been made so far. They include: • DWE1M3 Fire Pods removed • DWE2M5 single-player keydrop fix • DWE2M7 door trigger fix for lower difficulties • DWE2M8 Prox Mine Edit • Various Alignment Fixes Also... • Updated README with info on GoG, bMouse, and More • GoG files to help you run Death Wish ModDB Page with Download Link If you don't want to wait for ModDB's authorization, head over to the blog for an alternate link: Temporary Alt Links Found Here Thanks everyone for putting up with the hiccups — I've never dealt with ModDB before so I'm still getting used to their system.

So, today I wrote a bit about the source-port/freeware fan-release of Forsaken. A fairly fast and arcadey Descent clone released in 1998. The source-port doesn't change much (just adds modern resolutions and solves compatibility issues), but it's a neat little LAN game, and it's now for Windows, Mac and Linux. Just don't even try playing it if you suffer from motion sickness. It WILL kill you.

The Kins posted:If you mean using Brutal Doom while all the other players use normal Doom, than sorry, it's impossible - Brutal Doom changes a shitload more than the gore effects under the hood, and Skulltag doesn't really have a concept of clientside mods. That's a pity. Still, I'm having a blast playing shotgun frenzy: all the super fast-paced, hundreds-of-enemies DOOM gameplay we love with earning points to buy better weapons so it doesn't get stale.
