I do remember blood used a different enough engine that they could stack sectors on top of each other. Outside of that, I don't know.

Isn't this was in duke nukem already as that was how it differentiate with doom?

Blood used a later version of the engine which had more advanced Room Over Room implementation among other things which presents a significant stumbling block to getting it to run in existing source ports. Even the closest thing we had before BloodGDX, which is BloodCM, a valiant effort to recreate Blood using Eduke32 (by the same author!) still didn't feel exactly like Blood despite the extended abilities of that engine. Blood has a specific feel and BCM feels like a mod for DN3D (which it essentially is) rather than actual Blood but it was previously the best way that people allergic to using DOSBox had to experience the game.

My biggest sticking point with BCM was that dynamite didn't act in exactly the same way, which is like the best weapon in the game even better than the sawed off, but by far the biggest downside of BCM was that you couldn't load user maps on it something that BGDX has no problem with. I've only had one crash playing through Death Wish which I got around by not using the weapon that was causing it on a specific section of one map. You know that phrase "what a time to be alive", this is exactly that.

Is there article about the tech?

I've heard that it's in the archives somewhere in a place called the Internet.

If you had a link Blood return all sort of gross stuff you know

So the version of the engine used by Blood was modified by the devs themselves rather than created by 3D realms (or apogee or w/e their name was at the time)?

[Türbo Bröther]

As I understand it they worked with the guy who wrote the engine so it was a joint effort but it's still the next official version of the engine. I imagine that Ken Silverman has a history of his work on his site which probably goes into it in more detail.

Interesting tidbit: 3D Realms was originally going to be the publisher until the studio that was working on the game was acquired by Monolith and they took it to GT Interactive.

More like "I backed the Kickstarter but still haven't got around to finishing the game"

No I don't believe so. I did a ton of custom mapping for duke3d and I recall not being able to do that and hearing later versions of build supported the feature.

I dudn't mean true ROR like in blood hence why I asked a technical link to blood. But I thought there was a trick where you had staircase and corner to hide a seamless teleporting of the player, with windows that duplicate a view in another scene to maintain teh illusion.

Just kidding. I was created and solely responsible for playing videogames. That's right, I've been playing Mad Max on the Playstation 4 entertainment system and am really mad and angry about all of the people upset it had too much driving. It's a good time! You can be gruff, handsome, and well manscaped even in the apocalyptic fantasy desert.

Oh that I'm not sure. Maybe? If so I wasn't aware.

Teleporters and duplicate windows sounds like stuff you could do in the first Build engine (earliest Duke3D releases). I remember the two main tricks used to make floors-above-floors possible was to arrange so that the player while walking upstairs simply never had a view of both floors at the same time. You could also use horizontal sprites with floor texture that looked just like floors and build whatever you wanted to in any shape you wanted, although you lost the ability to do sector effects, so it was difficult to get doors where you wanted them to etc, but you could have a few rooms built using sprites just to give the illusion of multiple floors and then the rest of the floors just overlaid without ever being visible at the same time. Good times trying to come up with workaround in that otherwise awesome game engine when it first came out.
