BLOOD BOWL AS A COMPUTER GAME! I LOVE YOU!

Great game!! Some problems... I offer possible solutions...

First of all, I´m from Spain, so my English is not very good (yet :D ).

I haven´t played Blood Bowl since I have 15 years old and I played the board game with my friends. Now I´m 28 and I just have discovered this MAGNIFICENT PC version of the board game.

I finally can play Blood Bowl with a PC with Windows 98. Without sound, without music.... I say "No" to ALL the options in the menu, and the game can run normally.

LEAGUE PROBLEMS: The game saves AUTOMATICALLY every match. When you want to continue a league, there is a "third" option in the menu: Exhibition Play, Start League and Continue League. You can access to this options pressing the right or left arrow keys.

I can´t buy players... the game "collapses" :not_ok: . But I have discovered a trick or two just to do this.

1.- In www.abandonware-france.org you can find a patch that fix some problems of BloodBowl: bugs and so on. This will make BloodBowl not to collapse DURING matches, and enables the link option.

2.- In http://www.schtuff.org/grog/ you can find a.... TEAM EDITOR!!! :ok: . Just install it in C:\blood and run bowledit.exe. The program let you select a league and then access to all the teams and players. When I want to buy a player, I just enter the team editor and change the name, attributes and skills of one of my players (I´m very fair and I even "pay" the player cost).
Of course, you can change your team name, and you can cheat creating a team of Terminators... but I think this will make the game loosing interest...

Well, that´s all (for the moment). I just want to thanks Abandonia and the other cool abandonware sites. BloodBowl has been one of my favorite board games ever (also with Warhammer and Warhammer 40K, of course), and now I can play it on my PC.

Thanks, thanks, thanks a lot!!! :cheers:

I get that same XMS memory problem, in that my cmd window spits out, "Cannot allocate enough XMS"

i've installed blood bowl to c:\

So to access i do c:\blood\bb.exe

I believe this is the correct proceedure, tho the xms memory is still quite perplexing to me.

Please Help, as i used to play this game quite alot on the table top version

www.ginetti.com.au <- my web site :D

I can't get the game running!!!
can anyone help me.

I installed the game to c as in the guide, but when running it from dosbox i get the aforementioned error of XMS

when trying to run the install i get some message of: "files are being copied from your CD-rom drive" ... which is pretty stupid since I don't have the CD-rom.
He's trying to install D:\sound\midpack.ad

I can't do anything, as soon as I launch install it gives me the downloading thing..

I'm not a real hero with PC's but I sure like to play BB!

If anyone could give me a word of help.... tnx

:help:

I finally got the game working but when I tried to continue a season, dosbox crashes.

I then tried the suggested patch update, installed that fine, now when I try and load through dosbox it only comes up with the message:

"Current mounted drives are:
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\
Drive Z is mounted as Internal Virtual Drive"

Any ideas on what that means. The game now doesn't load at all.

I can not get this game to play! I have installed the game and Dosbox, I go into dosbox and then do the follwoing

c:dir

cd blood

dir

bb

and dosbox just crashes out.

Someone help me please, I used to play the table top version and it is purely curiosity that is making play this.

If however any of you really want to play Blood Bowl then may I suggest the following link

http://www.chaosleaguegame.com/

I actually run an online league in this if anyone is interested

http://chaosleague.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk

:help: :help: :help: when trying to run it it say

Internal Error : #1004 - Out of memory allocating buffer

Real Highwater = 2FE1:73F0 (225792 bytes)
XMS highwater = 0

whats wrong i have put the blood folder in c: and im trying to run it with Dosbox but it don't work pls someone answer

I followed all the installation instructions. However when I try to disable the sound in Setup the game automatically tries to install from D:\sound\midpack.ad

This causes the application to hang.

Is there a workaround?

Ran horrifically slowly for me, and it's not the good ol' fun-lovin' edition I played as a nipper.
Booo.
