The solution is:

you have to modify the paths in the blood.ini file, because u've changed the installation directory. After doing this everything works fine.

Found the original cd tracks for blood as mp3:s, http://www.deathmask.net/files/sounds/mp3s/ :D

Those should be added to abandonia too :ok:

Is there a way to make Blood play them? Its not hard to make a CD image with those MP3s as cd audio but the question is, will Blood read the CD or not.

If you guys like this game I suggest you find a copy of 'Rise of The Triad'. Very similar. I had an old shareware version when the game first came out around 96-98. Played the hell out of it even though I only had two levels. Hope you can find it.

Rise of the Triads isn't bad but suffers from horrific level design. Not a surprise considering it used blocks like the ones Wolfenstein 3D used to design maps and you don't have different "levels" of height, it's all flat.

:ok: Wooooooot i can play blood again !!! :ok:
This website is wicked :P
My dad loves blood and he cant get off it again !!!
Cheers

He's not undead with long sharp corner teeth, is he? :bleh:

Jay! This game is Spooky!

I also remember the Rise of the Triad.Great game. :ok:

i read over the forum and i'm pretty sure noone has asked this question before. I went to the site with the 9 steps to get it working and followed the instructions to the letter, the game works, but the sound doesn't, which is a pity because i remember the sounds being the most disturbing thing about Blood. Curiously the music does work. When i choose sound blaster and go "use these settings and continue" it comes up with:

Sound Blaster is not responding to selected port
please press any key yadda yadda

my sound settings are exactly as required on the site:

0x220
sound blaster 16 or AWE32
7
1
5

and i've tried changing the first line (0x220) to everything else to no avail. The music card is General Midi and that works, so maybe i need to change my sound fx to General Midi aswell, but no selection exists. Anyone have any ideas?

*edit* btw, i have onboard sound and have never had a problem with sound in anything else before, all the other dos games work but they all worked with "Sound Blaster Pro" being selected, Blood doesn't have this option

I can't figure out how to swim in this game. I jump into the water and then I can't swim up or down. The problem with this of course if that I can't get out of the water once I'm in it and I end up drowning. Can anyone offer any help?
