Sloopydrew: Is anything out there written for GlovePie to modernize the control setup in Blood? There's a GP script for Dark Forces II that is perfect, but when I enable it to run in Blood, it just asks if I want to leave the game whenever I use the mouse. If not a Glovepie script, is there any mods or even just a thing I could copy and paste to change the way the controller layout is? I'd like to look up and down and left and right with the mouse, change weapons with the mouse wheel, fire with left mouse button, alt-fire with right mouse button, etc. Basically I'd like the controls to be they typical WASD type controls most games have used for the past 10 or 15 years. Thanks!

PS - I really want to run the game using a 360 controller, but I know preferring a controller over keyboard + mouse is the cause of much controversy for no reason, and I can't afford a flame suit, right now. ;-)

DustyStyx: You can setup WASD+Mouse using Blood's own setup.exe. There is a third party mouse controller called BMouse which helps a bit with how jerky vanilla Build mouse view can be. If you like using the scroll wheel to switch weapons is reported to provide that for you, +1 to [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/blood_series/use_mouse_wheel_to_change_weapons_in_ouwb/post1]Kil3r for digging that up.

Sloopydrew: Thanks for that. I've been fiddling around with it, but I'm really bad at this sort of thing.

I realize Glovepie was created to bring wiimotes to PC, or whatever, but it's an EXCELLENT little free program that really helps with old PC gaming. I'd love it if someone more capable than I could look into it and write a script for Blood. Anyone with a modicum of skill with this sort of thing could probably have it done in under 5 minutes. For example, the entire script that literally saved Jedi Knight goes as follows:

PageDown = delta(Mouse.DirectInputY) < -1
PageUp = delta(Mouse.DirectInputY) > 1
Key.R = Mouse.RightButton // Alternate Fire
Key.F9 = Mouse.WheelUp // Cycle weapons with scrollwheel
Key.F10 = Mouse.WheelDown

I don't really understand why that made the game control awesome, but I bet a lot of you reading it can take one look and figure out exactly how the script works.

Sloopydrew: I'm actually using it with DOSBox. I think it's doing that in Blood because of Blood being set up in a different way. I use different Glovepie scripts to alter the control setup in a lot of my games. But no two games have used the same script. Blood is the first game where I haven't been able to find a script already made. And I honestly can't figure out how to make the script myself. Trust me, I've tried (for hours and hours I've tried).

DustyStyx: That is good then. Can you find a script for DukeNukem or Shadow Warrior? They were also on Build. You might be able to modify them for Blood.

Sloopydrew: I'm tempted to buy them a copy and gift it to them (the problem is they're all obsessed with making it compatible with the Wiimote or Move Control or the Kinect ... and that's not at all what I'm looking for).

DustyStyx: ... I don't see that as a problem, I'd love to see Sinfest's Wii Pitchfork&trade;&reg; realized with Blood.

johncrystal00: I'm not understanding why you can't set up Blood using the setup program that came with it to have the same controls as any modern FPS. I can use the wasd stuff and look around and shoot with the mouse with no problem. This GP stuff seems pointless for what you are looking for.

zZaRDoZz: Sloppydrew said: zZaRDoZz: There is no way to access the controller setup from within game. There are a few rudementary choices you can make from the control setup menu but these are obviously not what you need.

If you have windows xp...

Go to your blood folder and find a program called setup or setmain. These are applications that give you the detailed menu system that lets you configure things. open it, you may get a messege asking you to close or ignore. Choose ignore. Next you'll see a little blue screen called main menu. Choose controller setup from the list (your mouse
probably won't work. Use the keyboard arrow and enter keys). On the next blue screen under Controls menu choose setup mouse. Hit enter on the item you wish to change and you'll get a list of things to choose for that button. You can do the same for the keyboard. Choose the options you prefer.

If you have windows vista or above, I'm not sure what to tell you. You might have to run setup with dosbox. There is a file called blood.cfg that you can try, although I'm not sure if it will give you what you want. If you scroll half way down you'll find something called controllerType. That might have a few settings that would help.

zZaRDoZz: Paraphrasing Sloppydrew:

I am completely unfamiliar with windows...


I'm afraid we have to assume at least a minimal knowledge of windows (95,98,xp,vista,7 etc.) in order to help you. Without that basic knowledge, a computer with windows installed is nearly pointless. At this stage some people may think you're putting us on. If that's not the case, read on.

This is the best I can do.

Go to the start button in the lower left corner. Find a selection called My computer. Open that and find your main hard drive, usually labeled (C:) Open that and find a folder labeled Program files, once opened look for the GoG.com folder, there you should see a folder labelled One Unit Whole Blood
From there find a program called setup or setmain. These are applications that give you the detailed menu system that lets you configure things. open it, you may get a messege asking you to close or ignore. Choose ignore. Next you'll see a little blue screen called main menu. Choose controller setup from the list (your mouse probably won't work. Use the keyboard arrow and enter keys).

On the next blue screen under Controls menu choose setup mouse. Hit enter on the item you wish to change and you'll get a list of things to choose for that button. You can do the same for the keyboard. Choose the options you prefer.

I know that looks to be an intimidating number of steps and for a new person it is. Once you've memorized those first 4 steps however:

start button > My computer > (C:) >Program files,

-You'll find that this opens up an entire new world and makes computer gaming amazingly simple and enjoyable. Once again, the whole formula for one unit whole blood is:

start button > My computer > (C:) > Program files > GoG.com > One Unit Whole Blood
