I`m new on this forum, but have been browsing it for a while, and I am sorry I named the thread "JFBlood", but I figured that will draw attention to my post. And I think this question realy deserves attention:
1. I know that a small team is working in Quake Darkplaces engine from schratch, to bring up a game that will resemble to blood. In my oppinion, Transfusion project is a dissaster, and I would be sad if everything would end at that - it has no soul as old-fassion Blood game, wich wasnt the case with DN and JFs port. Not to mention that it will take forever to be made. IF THEY`RE MAKING BLOOD GAME FROM SCHRATCH IN QUAKE ENGINE, AND NOW WINDOWS BUILD ENGINE (W/GL SUPPORT AND STUFF) IS RELEASED, WHY IN HEAVENS NAME, DONESN`T SOMEONE TRY TO REBUILD LEVELS OF BLOOD FROM SCHRATCH IN BUILD ENGINE!?????? Even I could do it If I had a team (it is a breeze now that we even have a tool that converts Blood .MAP to Build .MAP)! It is THAT simple! People even bothered to make Blood TC for doom, using Wauthor engine, and now theyre trying to make a TC in Quake engine... Someone make TC of blood in Build engine for Gods sake! There`s your JFBlood....
Also I wonder about two more things:
2. Does anyone know where to download WinBlood? Or that port attempt by IceDuke? Any attempts for anything to be done with Blood Alpha source?
3. What happens when all people from GT, Monolith etc. (all involved) would die? Who has the rights to the source then?
Ok, that`s it. And keep in mind that blood source code is just some files on some guy`s computer, and that guy is a mortal human, just alike us all, and he has access to it... We need to know this man`s name..... (or names, since there are, I guess, at least 50 people, authorised, and unauthorised, who were involved, and are keeping the code as a souvenire). Maybe if we could contact anyone, he could annonymously release it on the internet... To be frank, I don`t belive we`re trying hard enough... We should make a campain, and overflow the friggin` internet...
Sorry for the misspellls - I`m not from states.

You're probably going to get a bunch of crap for posting this.
1) They wanted to make it 3D.
2) WinBlood was the attempt by IceColdDuke. It used to be at blood32.sourceforge.net but is gone now. Is the Blood Alpha source legal? I'm guessing most likely not.
3) It goes to whoever owns the copyright or the public domain.
People have tried many times to get the Blood source without avail. There are a bunch of posts on his very forum about doing so. Most end up locked because they say the same thing and fail.
