I just found out about your port and love it - do the original "JAMERR.EXE" cheats work with Bstone.exe? I added the powerball command line parameter and can't seem to enable cheats by hitting left and right shift when the JAM logo appears.

Just downloaded it and it's running flawless. Thanks for working on this.

The original version is so janky and the QOL improvements in the source port transform the game.

@bibendovsky, How to emulate with PC Speaker sound this version?

@bibendovsky

Any ETA when the next full version release will happen?

All original command line parameters were removed.
To enable debug mode (cheats) add to command line parameter "--cheats" (without double quotes of course).
Also you don't have to wait for JAM logo to press both SHIFTs simultaneously to enable cheats like it was in original version.
The port does not support such feature.
I hope after the beta-6.
You may try beta-5 for now, should be pretty playable.

Thanks!

Are the original savegames compatible between DOS/Source port, Source port/DOS?

And can I add command lines to point the savegame route to the game folder?

Thanks.

1) Saved games are not compatible with DOS version(s).

2) Use option "--profile_dir dir" to change the location of saved games, configuration file and the log.

Hadn't found this before (using the wrong search terms, I suppose), but this is great. Thanks a lot bibendovsky!

It's so nice to be able to play this with normal mouse look. I used to be able to circlestrafe in Doom with just the keyboard, but that was 25 years ago. This source port makes Blake Stone so much more playable.

@bibendovsky

I've a request for your source port. Could you implement a "hold fire button to keep firing" thing (just like Doom) so you don't have to click the left mouse button for every bullet you shoot? It would really help avoiding increasing pain in my mouse hand (carpal tunnel syndrome etc.).

"One click - one round" work only for pistols.
The rest weapons fires rounds till trigger is pressed.
