I've recently been playing Carmageddon with the supplied 3Dfx shortcut and nGlide installed, and was wondering if anyone had a guide to getting Blood's 3D patch working with DOSBox and nGlide.

If you are wanting to get BLOOD 3DFX working on DOSBox is to use a 3dfx patched version of DOSBox like ykhwong's daum version. You can get it at http://ykhwong.x-y.net/
Oh and make sure you delete the glide2x.dll file in the dosbox folder so that nglide can be used. If not deleted dosbox emu glide will be used.

I've been using Gulikoza's dosbox without success, I'll try ykhwong's for now.

Thanks for the tip.
Success! (kind of), it runs but looks like the attached image. I'll try editing settings to see if it gets any better.

That's normal (Build engine bug). You must use "Resolution - By app" mode in nGlide conf.

Nothing seems to work.

Glide forces itself to run at 512x384 (see image) and there doesn't seem to be any way to change it, and no settings in dosbox or nglide work either.

Ah, yes... I forgot to mention one thing.

You can't start the game directly with 3dfx exe.

Create bloodfx.bat file a paste this:

@cwsdpmi
set BUILD_640X480=1
set BUILD_CONVTEXTURES=1
set BUILD_GAMMA=1
set BUILD_RESAMPLE=1
@3dfx

Save the file and launch the game with bloodfx.bat.

Brilliant! it works now. Thank you gentlemen.

I didn't need to create a .bat file, I just added those lines to the blood .conf and it ran fine.

Post some pics so we can see the results. I've never ran blood with the 3dFX stuff.

It's far from perfect, and voxel models don't work, but if you want texture filtering it's probably worth it.

Now if only we had some mipmapping. Arjan and others have worked on the glide driver, or at least the rapper for it. Does anyone know what the legalities/ licensing are all about for blood's alpha hardware renderer?

Its possible to use other resolution? Its limited to classic 800x600 or more its possible?
