I really want to play the FPS game Blood. I'm hoping to play a port that's Linux-native, though, so Blood: Fresh Supply on Steam would be out of the question... I know that there are source ports such as NBlood, or BloodCM.
My question is, what files do I need for these source ports? There's like 3 versions of Blood that I'm seeing. Fresh Supply, the DOS version, and "Blood: One Unit Whole Blood". Which one of these should I use for NBlood?
Thanks!

Any version would be ok.
I prefer to not put addons files into the game's folder directly (moreover, some of them have the same names), but do the opposite and copy 'nblood' into them and launch with, like, 'exec ./nblood -ini CRYPTIC.INI'.
BTW, Fresh Supply works fine in Proton. Quicksaving takes too much time though, so I prefer NBlood.

As for ports both BloodGDX and NBlood are reasonably mature options with their own strengths and weaknesses. Both are arguably superior to Fresh Supply in several respects.
You can see them all compared here:

There is also Raze but I have no experience with it yet. It is a modified GZDoom with NBlood code.
