Essential improvements

Mods

GOG.com has put together an official "Mod Spotlight" for the Blood series.

bMouse

bMouse will cause the vertical aiming to be inverted. To fix this just go to the Setup Advanced Control Options from Control Setup, then at Advanced Mouse Setup change the Mouse Y Scale to negative number.

bMouse is a DOS extension which improves mouse looking by removing the mouse filter which causes issues related to both axis not updating properly. To install this extension, unzip "bmouse.exe" into the directory where you installed Blood. Then run "setup.exe" through Dosbox and go to Controller Setup > Choose Controller Type and select "Keyboard and External" Then go to Setup External and change the program name to "BMOUSE.EXE" Save and exit. Finally, open "dosboxBlood_single.conf" in a text editor and replace the line with "BLOOD.EXE" with "bmouse.exe launch blood.exe" You can do the same for Cryptic Passage by opening "dosboxBlood_Addon.conf" and replacing "CRYPTIC.EXE" with "bmouse.exe launch cryptic.exe"
