Its a nice ghotic lantern. I think it fits perfect with the game and it is a lot better than the old one =P

I'm making gifs out of some of the textures, like this torch: Image a... flamebowlthingy:Image
and my new avatar.
Doesn't show too good against the black background though.

Thanks :)
I'm gonna make some more, They'll be at http://www.freewebs.com/wrim/blood.htm.

I'm not doing anything illegal now by sharing them on the internet... I hope. At least I think so.
So, feel kiiinda free to use them as avatars n stuff.
(If this is illegal, please tell me)

Well, technically it's illegal, unless you have permission from Atari or WB or whoever has rights to the artwork these days. (we do for Transfusion btw) But I doubt you will get in trouble for it. It's one of those longstanding "fan site" liberties.

I used art2tga Elric wrote for the Blood2Build project.

I've stick a bat file with it to separate out the Blood tiles into a more helpful file listing. you just need to run it in a folder with a copy of the Blood .art tiles. http://cruaich.deathmask.net/tutfiles/art2tga.zip

srry for the double post...

can transfusion engine read and display DDS files correctly?
if so, then Transfusion could take a rocket ride to eye-candyland =)
normal-mapping for teh win :D

We use a ever so lightly modified version of the DarkPlaces Quake engine. If it can be done in DP we can do it in TFn. <psst> that's a long answer for "I dont know" I know DP can handle normal mapping though. You might ask around at irc.anynet.org/#darkplaces

Just put the normal map in the same folder as the original texture name the normal map with "_norm.tga" at the end. example: tile###.tga & tile###_norm.tga.
Bump maps are named with "_bump.tga" at the end and gloss maps with "_gloss.tga" (at least I think so)
I beleive specular maps are named "_spec.tga" but I'm not sure. I don't know what hieght maps are named (or maybe hieght maps are the same thing as bump?).
Anyways you have to have some of the RT options turned on, I forget which ones. Is it just RT lights? I don't think you need RT world or RT shadows.

DP does not support DDS files, and I very much doubt it ever will. I know LordHavoc thinks DDS is a silly format, and I'm inclined to agree, so you'll have to make do with tga, or png, textures.

The engine doesn't require DDS files for normalmapping anyhow, just take a normalmap that's been saved in a regular texture format, add the extension "_norm" to the file name, and there you go. If you want parallax/relief mapping you can insert an 8-bit greyscale bumpmap into the alpha channel of that normalmap.
