can someone confirm that TILES000.ART-TILES017.ART is correct, I got a dump from internet and it only had TILES000.ART-TILES015.ART

Yup, it's correct. You can find the extra TILES016.ART / TILES017.ART in the One Unit Whole Blood edition

Thanks alot! I was waiting for this to happen!

 

[cucholix]

do someone has a setting to slow down the right stick camera movement?

Not yet. Gotta wait for the next release.

Mmmhh there’s not nblood.cfg, I booted the game once, but no configuration file is generated @SentryCrafter

the way NBlood (and maybe even eduke32) works is that it never saves a configuration file until the configuration is changed by the user

NXBlood is a port of NBlood for the Switch which itself is a attempted Source port of the 1997 game Blood
the port is relatively feature complete compared to the existing version of NBlood

Thanks for the great work!

During your development of this port, did you run into any problems with the game stuttering whenever you hit something with that first weapon, that triceps?

I am asking because the Vita port beta-version (WIP by Rinnegatamante) starts to stutter very heavily then. Maybe in your development of the Switch port, you found a fix for this problem? Or maybe the problem never existed on the Switch?

Thank you for your work @SentryCrafter. This should keep me occupied until DUSK drops.

I’ve tried changing settings, but the cfg file didnt show up. The right stick sensitivity is insanely high too. Other than these, It runs perfectly. OGG support seems to work fine too

Did you change some settings then exit the game through the Quit menu option? That's how it worked for me.

 

[rsn8887]

Nice work!

Some minor issues I found:
- Latest release notes say that opl3 (music) player works fine, but I still get no music in game.
- Also I cannot open the menu using the controller. Maybe Plus key could be mapped to open/close menu?

 

[cucholix]

@rsn8887 I get ogg files working, they need to be in “sd:/nblood”
They are: blood02.ogg to blood09.ogg, also you need the One Unit Whole Blood version (it does contain the extra TILES16.ART and TILES17.ART files.

I set the audio driver to opl3/adlib, the music is quite low, so you need volume up it.

BTW I did set the mouse sensitivity to 0 and the camera still goes crazy fast :/

Does the folder have to be on the root? Can you make it in the switch folder for tidyness sake?

Thanks @Purple_Shyguy , found the cfg file with this.

Okay guys, I opened my eduke32.cfg and copied a bunch of lines into the nblood cfg. Not sure which lines does what so I just pasted everything.

Now the right stick insane sensitivity is fixed. Haven't tried tweaking the values yet, so YMMV.

Paste these onto your nblood cfg:

JoystickAnalogScale0 = 1000
JoystickAnalogDead0 = 2000
JoystickAnalogSaturate0 = 1000000
JoystickAnalogScale1 = 98304
JoystickAnalogDead1 = 2000
JoystickAnalogSaturate1 = 32768
JoystickAnalogScale2 = 32768
JoystickAnalogDead2 = 2000
JoystickAnalogSaturate2 = 562500
JoystickAnalogScale3 = 16384
JoystickAnalogDead3 = 3000
JoystickAnalogSaturate3 = 16384

There is no binding for Esc/menu key, so in-game pausing and menu opening is still unfixed

Thanks it plays perfect now
Now just left a way to access the menu and be able to save and this port is complete

You can use a usb keyboard in the meantime until options control is added with joystick.

Will be added soon

it already looks for the game files in the current directory so if you want you can put the game files and the nro in the same folder

Not with the pitchfork but the game does freeze for half a second when you fire the dynamite weapon.

the only issues I myself encountered were lag when drowing dynamite which I assume to be because I had to go with the SDL renderer instead of using the custom OpenGL renderer

switching to the OpenGL renderer doesn't seem to be a choice at the moment as there is no GLUT implementation for the Switch yet
