NEW BETA is available now! (1.9.1)

[Daniel NDS]

Hi everybody,

We've been hard at work on another update and today we're happy to put out a brand new BETA for Blood: Fresh Supply. This version of the game will be much more tolerant of old saves, but there may still be problems loading an old save on a new version of the game.

As always, you opt-in to the BETA version by clicking on the Betas tab and choosing 'beta' from the dropdown list in the games' properties.

The new patch fixes the following issues:

• New actor flag for not dropping items/keys (Cerberus fix),
  
• Various misc. Fixes involving Hitscan and Vectorscan,
  
• Start/End parameters for the CanSee function has been reversed - fixes MANY behavior problems,
  
• Fixed damage sectors not immediately damaging player on land impact,
  
• Fixed scroll floors/ceilings in wrong direction in E2M6,
  
• Fixed code to determine if wall should have decals (using proper logic now). Fixes decals not showing up in many areas in E1M1,
  
• Fixed up A LOT of the Cultists behaviors. Only use a 2D hitscan vector for determining sightlight checks instead of 3D. Fixes several problems,
  
• Cultists now play Gib SEQ based on type,
  
• Cultists and Earth/Axe Zombies now ignore damaged based sectors (fixes AI issue in DWE1M1),
  
• Proximity range for prox mines is now correct,
  
• Fix issue with gib objects and other types from spawning two of the same item,
  
• Fixed a typo with Exp_Dynamite_Wall, resulting in no SEQ from playing when invoked,
  
• Minor bug fix with the CanSee function. Fixes an issue in DWE3M2,
  
• Art tile animation is now randomized for oscil,
  
• Fix mouse not working on main menu after loading lower saves,
  
• Audio velocity option is now saved to config,
  
• Player no longer falls while dead in water,
  
• Camera no longer toggle chasecam while in menu,
  
• Map markers now show with an exclusive cheat (new cheat code: OAKISLAND),
  
• Can now switch weapons during any point of the gun's state that isn't lowering or holstering,
  
• Fixed a bug where explosion objects would persist due to bad underflow of xSprite's data1 and data4 members,
  
• Fixed hitscan wall detection and wall UV mapping,
  
• Added scale console variable for the weapon wheel. Set g_weaponWheelScale in the console to change it (defaults to 1.0),
  
• Changed player jump boot height to 24.0. Makes it easier to reach the rooms in BB1,
  
• Bug fix with wall unlock commands sending a ON command,
  
• Support for padlock actor.

Please let us know how the patch works for you. This BETA may have issues fixed as we go on, so you can expect some small updates as we move forwards:

Thanks,
Daniel G,
Nightdive Studios Production Team.

Any word on making player quotes louder? They're barely audible at times.

Will be added bilinear filtering (or other type of graphic filter); steam cards and cloud saves in the future?

Thankyou for your hard work on this amazing game, please... ignore the haters and elitists who spit vitriol on these forums, you're delivering the best package Blood has come in since release.

I hope that you can fix the issue with the integrated Intel Graphics on future updates. Greetings.

Blood GDX still works with intel HD graphics if you want to drop the port into fresh supplys folder for now.

Yeah, I own the original Blood on Steam, so i'm sticking with it using the renamed BuildGDX.

That's strange, I just tested loading the game on the beta version and didn't have that happen. You try to verify game files with steam to see if it fixed it?

I still have the problem that Quick Saves (or ANY save, really) freezes the game for like 1 to 5 seconds and that it's possible to get stuck between water and land at the end of E4M4 (Crystal Lake) if you try to rise from the water in a diagonal way. Other than that, great port!
