Anybody Played Blood Alpha?

Post by Krypto »

I'm a bit curious as to what it contains, by the looks of the directory it has lots of maps, utilities and some random files like .qav .lnk etc. I've only played two levels and i quite enjoyed it. Even tho it is buggy considering it is an alpha an all, but has anyone played through all of it? i wonder how many maps it has, also anyway to fix the setup cause i can't configure the controls :? again i know this is an alpha, so it is by nature to be buggy.

It's been a while since I've played it but I specifically remember the extra frames of animation you saw as a gargoyle statue turned into a gargoyle.

You know, that kind of thing would be really nice in final Blood. Maybe implement it in TF... :wink:

I have never gotten it to run.

Necrosis: Was that some sort of a joke? EXTRA FRAMES? ;) Yeah, I am sure the number of frames will be comparable to that of Blood and Blood's alpha.

...Yes, I know, of course it was a joke.

The controls have to be configured by editing the blood.ini in notepad.
The keys are in hex format in the ini (instead of text)
At the bottom of the text file there are some comments about what hex values are for each key.
I could never get mouse look to work in Alpha so if anybody can please let me know.
I like how the "[" keys make your head tilt.

I think 90% of us here on the Transfusion own it and have played it.

slink - he means that when you approach gargoyle in alpha you can actually see it get off it's stone "chair" and there are like 4 or 5 frames of gargoyle turning from stone to flesh

yes, alpha, the (now not so) holy grail of blood fans. has tons of stuff that were cut from the final release or unfinished

we own it and we played it... thanks to some dude on irc who gave me that alpha and than i uploaded it here.

He means he has it or he kicks ass at the game. Don't actually thinks he owns it physically, unless you visited Monolith in the early years and somehow obtained a copy :evillaugh:

I believe he meant to say "most of us have a copy of it, and have played it"

What were we talking about? :offtopic:
