So I never finished Blood before but the main game's final bosses are two red cultists who turn into some weird stompy demon correct? Because that definitely didn't feel final boss to me.

aga. posted:Got it, cheers. Be aware that the first few combat sequences are the worst, with imps scripted to spawn behind/above you silently or force-damage you as you open a door, etc. Later on things get better as the devs resort to more standard 'hell-portals from behind' that make a lot of noise so it's actually fun. Relatively.

It's been a hectic couple of days, hasn't it? We're still sitting in lifeboats, just in case, but things seem slightly more stable than before. Here are a few things in this fraction of the internet that you probably missed while things were a bit more on-fire.

Completely tangential, but back in the mid-2000’s I went to a store in Berkeley where they were playing music and a particular song got stuck in my head and proceeded to haunt me on and off for the better part of 15 years. It was only in the last year that I happened to discover it had come from that Lovage album you just happened to post.

Downloading the updates for Guncaster and Trailblazer right now. BTSX on consoles is great news aswell. One can only dream if some day they let something like Smooth Doom to work on consoles so we slowly get a fulle modable Doom experience.

Just tried playing Blood Fresh Supply on Well Done and immediately died to the first cultist beyond the gates who just starts lobbing TNT before you can open it  Also a zombie just kind of materialized right next to me on the stairs leading down so that was fun. Aaaaand why are the doors completely silent? Multiple times I've tried backing out of a door before realizing it closed silently behind me. The sound of doors was very important to Doom's sound design and even Duke3D has door noises but uhhh Blood wtf why are you so quiet for a horror themed game unless this release is bugged? Gotta say I will penetrate this game one day but today might not be it.

From doomworldSponge posted:Just popping in to mention a minor update to BTSX was pushed out. The black texture on MAP02 was fixed, and the green health packs were converted to the new palette properly. You can just redownload the WAD from the Add-Ons menu to get the changes, there's no auto-update or anything like that built in.

Does Blood: Fresh Supply have the supposed bug where quick-loading can reset the difficulty in the game? I haven't seen any strict confirmation but I've seen message posts about it.

Which is totally why I'm enjoying Hexen, it's very much a slow paced dungeon crawler in the Doom engine which isn't what you want from dark fantasy Doom but I would've lost my poo poo in 1995 playing it and it would've been awesome if King's Field era From Software or Westwood worked on this customized Doom engine in the mid-90s.

All I can say is that I didn’t have that experience when I last played through Fresh Supply. I started the game on Well Done and, as best I can tell, it remained at that difficulty throughout the play through.

Use BloodGDX instead. Plays much better than Fresh Supply IMO. (Not to talk trash about Fresh Supply, its frankly awesome that Blood is accessible again)

The bug was nuked from orbit. The original save system was omitted from the disassembly and written anew from scratch, resulting in a fairly complete memory snapshot.

Makkon made a wad that is basically the Otex of Quake at this point. Now there's this new wad. Wally is TexMex but it's complicated and slightly better at making mipmaps out of the hentai folder on your hard drive that's named "important tax documents" caleb fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jun 30, 2020 |

And the Chotex texture pack mentioned above is I think for now only available on the mapping discord: https://discord.gg/c3UhFJ There's a pinned message in the #chotex-jam channel with download links. I'm not sure if he's publically released it yet, but functionally speaking it's out-in-the-wild since it is baked into the maps that were released. Anyway, anyone is free to join the discord (and probably should if you wanna make maps).

Dammit, I thought about finally sitting down and playing Death Wish with Blood: Fresh Supply, but now I want to wait for this new episode to come out.  What is Death Wish like in general? Blood in general is on the difficult side, but is Death Wish harder?

Oxyblack Fortress is also cool and now I see a lot of people using that wad in maps on the Discord. Much like how Otex is super amazing and was used in Eviternity and then became kind of adopted by a lot of members of the community as the go-to texture set. Makkon's wad is obviously way less vast in scope but it's just really pretty idk it's just cool and I like it a lot

Blood Death Wish is 1000% recommended. Probably the best set of build engine levels designed, all the crazier that it was done without any new assets.

haveblue posted:It's a switch hunt where half the switches aren't on the map I bought the game on release and got stuck on a puzzle, same puzzle on multiple restarts. Only to learn years later this was a map bug and my copy was considered illegal and wouldn't patch. Apart from the beautiful (for the time) opening area I have nothing but hatred for Hexen.

You can get the ChoTex pack from this thread too: http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=61904 But unless the Discord version has like thirty times more textures, it's not really playing in the same league as OTEX.
