Installation

Current version of Titanium (0.5.1a) is an experiment at getting something publicly out there. As such, there is no elegant installation yet, BODLoader is not an option, since it does not work well for multiple folders containing same file names.

To install the mod you will need to:

1. Revert to v109
2. Create a backup of the original game just in case.
3. Extract all the files in the BoD v109 while preserving the folder structure.
4. Launch the game.

Credits:

Vast majority of the work, whether it be code or otherwise, done for Titanium is almost entirely done by LeadHead, however the project could under no circumstances have been completed alone.

Special thanks:

• Adrian "Arohk's Twin" Smith - for keeping the BoD subforum alive over at Arokh's Lair
• Everyone who worked on Blade of Darkness with Rebel Act Studios
• SNEG, FireFalcom, General Arcade - for bringing back the game from abandonware status and the parts of the re-release that aren't horrible
• Prospero - for the many tutorials, absolutely immense amount of information posted over the years, Fugitive series of custom levels (arguably some of the best the game has ever seen) and overall just being an absolute living legend in this tiny community.
• All of the forgotten BoDders out there - JoshDahlby, IronLord, Masklin, BigTruck, Reality3D, SirRandom and many others who have been instrumental in modding the game, but have since left the community.

The following people have not made any direct contributions to Titanium, but have nevertheless served as a great inspiration for all the work done here. If you are one of them, it's likely you have never spoken to me or are aware of my existence.
