I always play on 800x600. but perhaps 3d acceleration would improve the texture quality.

IT WONT IMPROVE TEXTURE QUALITY

3DFX "ACCELERATION" Will just produce nice filtering effect so you won't end up in a blocky texture when up close to the wall, it would be blurred.

Is compatibility the only advantage then? I have a seperate Win98SE-installation which I need anyways to play other classic games anyway (such as C&C) on which I also play Blood (with non-lagging sound etc).

well you can say so.

dont get me wrong the JONOF port of Duke3D and SW are SUPER GREAT.

but 90% of the "HIRES" content are done by the fans, so most of the hires textures and models suck big time. that's why i'll stick to regular content thanks :)

dude, don't you think I know that?

I'm not some f*** noob who knows no s*** about 3d effects.
but that itself might improve the looks of the game.

Hires textures are MUCH better looking than the original (have you actually used the latest betas of the duke3d Hires pack)
3d models are just plain awesome. I have been following duke3d project and almost all the models are nothing short of outstanding, unlike the jdoom stuff, including the recently done shrinker, rpg and freezer

I 100% agree with you in the case of Blood in dos or VDMSound, but using the polymost OpenGL engine from jonof's duke3d (which is in Winblood) you can scale up the resolution ridiculously high and still enjoy smooth framerates.

Let's not forget the netplay (being reworked in jonof's port) and OGG/MP3 support which would be very nice to add to Winblood.

freezer is awesome

shrinker is f*** ugly.

i said 90%. not everything.

yes maybe i'm that anal/purist :)
