Feel free to comment and discuss this game here. Also, if you have any useful tips or tricks don't hesitate to share them with the others! Thanks!

Review and Download (if available)

Pressing the download button takes me back to the main page :( .

Should work now!

Yep it works 8) .

its good!! thats all I can say ( must hit 50 soon!)

And i repeat, to whoever will play the game... Look for the clown secret level! It really is a unique experience :)

Where can we find it?

The entrance is on the circus level ( i don't remember for sure what level number that is - i think it is the 4th or 5th level ). On some point of the level there is a lake. Jumbing on the lake and searching the bottom you shall see a entrance, and going through it you will find a secret cave. In this cave there is a strange object with 3 symbols on it. Its a lottery machine. Turning the symbols, 2 things can happen as i remember. Either you die or you are sended to the clown secret level... Believe me, you must see this level :)

It might be the fouth level.

That level is a carnival, and it does contain a lake. You have to go over a bridge in order to get to the entrance of the carnival. I am already past that mission so I can't check it out.

But I will later.

Nice review tom.This game looks verry much like doom, but with a (much) better graphic.

:oops: Gee... Thanks.

I am still new to this reviewing thing, you know.

Yup, it's verry good to have you in our ranks.Your searching skills are unequaled(at least on this site).I hereby propose that we change the rank that tom has to something more adequate.Like "Abandonia Chief Game Searcher".I know, the word "Chief" doesn't make any sense, but it makes it sound better and it depicts Tom's superior game searching capabilities.
Tom is a young Abandonia member, but in the short time since he joined he has done more for this site than many of us elder members.Quite frankly I have to admit that i have done nothing good for this site.Despite posting, i have done nothing good for the site... :? lazy me as always.But enough with the criticism.
How about it Kosta? I think he deserves the title.

Yes i second the notion that Tom is a elite!... and also that omeletzu is lazy!

Hey! Smurfs are dilligent creatures you know... they always manage to keep a good, happy and healthy society, so there's nothing wrong with that title :)

I think Tom himself should decide whether or not he likes it

No... i'm not saying that his current rank is ugly or something like that.I'm just saying that it's inadequate.I mean he deserves somthing better.Something that deserves more respect. "Abandonia Chief Game Finder" Doesn't that sound better? Of course it's his decision, but i think that "smurf" is too puerile.

OK, when Tom decides what he wants with his rank, I'll deal with it. In the meanwhile, I gave you a brand new one :wink:

hahaha lol good one.I like it! :P It's original :D

BTW Kosta i've been meaning to tell this to you for a while now but... heheh you know i'm lazy.I have a CD full of old games.Some of them ARE abandonware some AREN'T.The CD includes 110 games like:
Eye of the Beholder I-II-III
Legends of Kyrandia II-III
Ultimate Body Blows
Super Street Fighter 2
Alone in the dark I-II
Warcraft I-II

Many many more.If you want i can send a list of the games through email.

:shock: :o


Holy sh**!

Thanks!
You like me. You really do like me!

I don't know what to say... I'm speechless!
(I've spent about 5 minutes just making the above lines).


And as for the title. It was Titan who made it (I believe), so he is the one who controls it. I would not give myself a title, that is for others to decide. The only thing a new title means to me is that I must find another avatar to match it.

Again... Thanks for the kind words.

Then again, his rank is THE LONGEST of all, so that adds a certain "weight" to it too ;)

You deserve every one of them kind words.You have helped Abandonia in a lot of ways.(man i sound just like an admin)

All hail Papa Smurf :P

Yes, Omuletzu.

I have enlisted you in my army of smurfs! May the great Papa Smurf be with us all!

Is it just me, or are we WAAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic? :)

Oh well, just have to wait for titan to move this elsewhere :wink:

Have you read my post regarding my Cd games kosta? It's the second post in the second page of this topic.

c'mon I want to be a victim in the name-changing mayhem!! :twisted:

you don't just get nex titles
you need to earn them
by either acting like an idiot and making foolish topics asking about your title (Abandonia Hobbit in Tommies case) or making your own attitude.

I could model myself after a hardass conservative american with a love for all things with the word "US army" in it and a nack for insulting everybody regardless of political views, race, colour or Planet of orgin.
but I choose not to.

In another forum the members called me Mr Teatime because I was both the most educated one (knowing about a lot of stuff and being able to engage in any kind of debate and almost always winning it... hence the Mr.) and the strangest one... and Teatime IS a strange word.

of note is that nobody on that forum had ever read Pratchett's 'Hogfather' so they didn't know who Mr. Teatime (or Mr. The'a'tim'eh) was.

anyway
back on topic you bunch of Zimbabwean lavalamps!

YES I HAVE READ THAT BOOK ..... GO THE AUDITORS!!

wicked :o
waaaaay off track :P

Omuletzu.

You wanted me to have a special title, and I told you that it was up to Titan to do this.

Now, Titan has had his fun. If you look at my signature. You will see that it has changed from Uninvited to Invited. I guess it means I have been accepted into the site :wink:
(Or it could be his way of saying that I can visit him this summer :? )


And this is as off topic as it can become!
Why hasn't Titan moved this mindless, non-blood related chattering to somewhere else?

Well i couldn't understand the idea behind your post tom, but I LIKE MY NEW TITLE.It's original... also reflects the reality :? :P

Blue? No no no the Infinite is black.
IT IS BLUE
How do you know? I told you its black
I'VE BEEN THERE

(just a little touch of confusion)

Death rules! :D

I found it :w00t:

AWESOME!

For those who wonder about the code... It is:

Knife --- Eyeball --- Half-moon

You made me curious... I didn't play the game yet, though I intended to the first time I came to the forum. But say, isn't it little too slow in DosBox? Because Duke Nukem 3D is really slow there, even with the 12000 cycles. :unsure:
And that's with the low resolution of 320x200. Just think of 640x480. :rolleyes:
I thought of playing Duke3D on good old Windows 98 sometime later because of that. Probably it's where I'll play Blood also.

Well, if it's too slow on DosBox, play it without it...... ;)

I remember playing perfectly under Windows ME.

I hate it in this game that you can look up normal...that really sux...

And i also hate the rats...so i decided to quit after just right 1 level...i know, maybe not really smart but when i have more time i will go search for that secret level wich must be really good <_<

I place cycles to 9000 (but this is only as a backup plan for taking screens)

I normally play the game through Win XP ;)

Yes you can.

Press U and you enable mouse-look.


You jump with Shift
And crawl with Alt Gr

uuh....If this is true then i`m really stupid...

ill download it again then, maybe ill see then the charm of the game..

@Ubersmurf: Can you place a wlakthrough how to find the secret level plz

im a real expert on blood! i know all the secrets and everything.

there are secret levels for each chapter.

you found the clown mouth one..

if you cant be bothered with hunting the secret level triggers, you can cheat and
jump to any level using this cheat:

press T and type in: mario

this gives a dialogue box to pick chapter and level.. including the secret levels (they come after the final boss level in each chapter)
if this cheat doesnt work, you have the wrong version.

other cheats that are fun = lara croft gives all weapons
funky shoes -jump boots
bunz - guns akimbo
keymaster (guess!)

blood runs ok in dosbox 62 with dynamic core, but its not as fast as i liked

also check out 'transfusion' which is a legal port of blood to quake engine.. they got permission to use the sound, graphics, textures etc .. so far its only for deathmatch..... (WITH BOTS too!)

High :angel:

Can someone tell me how this game works under xp?
dosbox is just to slow :crazy:

And if i try to start it says:
src/loadsave.cpp[501] :File error #11 loading save file header
please help :kosta:

what version are you using? i use the latest patched version which changes the usage of the code to "mario xx" xx = level number


<!--QuoteBegin-Anonymus Maximus

http://www.deathmask.net/buildxp/ should solve your problems

thanks for your afford :ok:
but it didnt solve anything
i tried your link followed the instructions
now the game does a "fatal error" + the old message
I´m from germany so i might have made mistakes
in this instruction :crazy:

maybe any other suggestion? :whistle:

well, it worked for me so i can't help. the only other thing i can suggest is go on the planetblood.com forums

Awesome secret lvls
:guns: :rifle: :sniper: :Tom: :Tom: :Tom: :Tom:

Actually i got this game to work :bannana:
thanks for your suggestion :ok:
i found the key at planetblood
you have to go to
C:/Windows/System32/config.nt
edit the config.nt and write at the bottom
buffers=80
files=80
then open blood under windows dos prompt
of course you need all the stuff from the DeathMask.net
so it works for me now after hours of searching OMG
thanks for all the help :wub: :ok: :music: :drool: :king:
3 o´clock in the morning now
I think I´ll take care of the monsters tomorrow
:butcher: :karate: :borg: :guns: :Tom:

Ahh.. It's a while since I played this game since I've completed it about 20 times now. Propably the best games ever. Someone should make jBlood

Does someone know where to get the videos
of this game? :crazy: :ph34r: :crazy:

:blink: LOL

@Stechus No idea you could try Kazaa or Emule or maybe one of our interney searchers will take pity on you.

theres nuthin like setting zombies/fanatics alight with dual flare guns :D

Stechus Kaktus, the videos are TERRIBLE. even for the time. they do set the scene a little, but you're really not missing anything.
the shareware cd came with different video for that episode than the retail release.

if you can find a retail cd of full blood, get it.. not for the videos but for the SUPERB music tracks. they are so cool.

BREAKTHROUGH

i finally have blood running 100% perfectly on XP!
having the retail cd and cd music is the final icing... it just seems to eat far too much cpu to get MIDI to work. like i mentioned above, the cd tracks are much better music than midi. as you would expect.


vdmsound - soundblaster (and more) emulator for xp. much tweaking of settings
nolfb.com - hack from ken silverman to make the vesa modes not crash
cli2nop - stripped the undocumented weird calls from the blood.exe (interestingly, turn off the thing in vdmsound which is meant to do the same thing)
dos32a - open source dos extender replacement. much faster
added buffers=80 and files=80 to everything in sight, including config.nt (this may or may not be necessary, i didnt test if it made any difference - if it aint broke dont fix it)

i expect ill make a little webpage soon with everything listed and all the settings etc

I'm very confused. I have neither movies or music. I want this super cool music. Whats going on?

I couldn't get the movies, either. I don't know why your music isn't working, though.

I used to have similiar problems with music but I fixed it by trying different soundcard settings by setup.

if you have the blood cd you can get music by setting up the drive in vdmsound, and turning on mscdex emulation.
midi will work but it uses HUGE amounts of cpu power to emulate for some reason

i forgot, i got it all working perfectly except for the movies (note you need the cd version for those, not the underdogs ripped version) they wont play - but trust me you're not missing much. theyre really terrible.

Thx "guest"

The movies were indeed terrible...even for that time :not_ok:

High dudes!
If the videos are so bad, i think i wont search for them any longer.
Unfortunately the gameplay is what counts. :Titan:

i went to this underdog site for a couple of time
cause i was searching for some good martial art games
they have lots but i must tellyou i prefer your site much more
they have lots of stuff but
they are very very slow and the support for games suck
i downloaded some 50-100 meg files and actually half
of them work (chinese language also)

i really didnt know what i had on this site :wub:
maybe you might get some good martial art games too? :whistle:

Just open the tread in request part of the forum.

anyluck getting network gameplay? This game has THE sickest multiplayer gameplay. I spent many anhour fragging my chums when this came out

ah multiplayer! well this is where you are in luck!

http://transfusion.deathmask.net/

this is a great port of blood (multiplayer only) to the quake engine. they have permission to use all the media files from blood. so you can play against bots, or against friends over tcp/ip. its good. also you have the additional benefit of it being real 3d, instead of build engine's voxel warpy nightmare.

as a sidenote;
years ago i did play regular blood over the internet, but that was using mplayer.com's software (they were a gaming network thing)

i was looking for transfusion as it happens :D

best part of blood: kicking heads around :twisted:

:help: Can't play!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!

Hello fellas, call me Cyprien.
I have the hell of a problem with Blood. If i start the game it loads only the engine, sound 'n other things and then it shut down. I'm using the dosbox V0.63 with the tool D-fens (or something in that way) cause without D-Fens it doesn't load a thing.
I have played th game years ago and now i want to play the hole game and kick some monster's a** :Titan: Please in the name of all innocent players help me.

P.S.: (Please excuse grammar or spelling mistakes, i'm from germany)

You don't need DOSBox to run the game in XP. There is even sound. Just run "blood.exe".

DOSBox is too slow to run Blood.

not everyone has the same hardware as you. especially soundcard and drivers.

also your method only lets you use the default resolution
the best way is vdmsound, and a bunch of other things, which are listed further back in this thread

True. I have a Sound Blaster PCI64, thats probably why it works. :D I love this game. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

I have only one problem - the game keeps speeding up and slowing down and the sound is choppy on XP. The speed on the game is very important.

its the full version or? :ok: ?

Everything we have is the full version.

No demos or sharewares. Only pure gaming fun :ok:

the shareware version was the best chapter by far though. it lacked a couple of weapons.
the plasma pak and crytpic passage addons are rubbish.
a lot of user-made maps are out there.. hell, i even made a map once.. the editor is quite easy to use.

Does "I want JoJo!" qualify here or should I post it in the request section?

It's the best FPS I have ever played. And you need the music to enjoy it!

Too bad I haven't found the clown level earlier... though I played the game hunderts of times.

the cd music is the best.
each chapter has a secret level, dont forget!

Whta exactly do you mean?
The game locks up?
It hangs your computer?
Your monitor explodes?
Tell us or we won't be able to help you.

Excuse me, I'm Italian and i don't speak a good english.
I got Xp and the game doesn't work.
If I Choose any sound card the message error is:

src\sound.cpp(516): Playback failed, possibly due to an invalid or conflicting IRQ.

If I put Sound Card and Music Card to "none" the game start but it crash and reboot pc after few minutes.
I also try with VdmSound but... nothing to do
Thanks for help and a happy new year to everybody

Have you tried dosbox already?

The big house in Even Death Can Die episode is insane.

Here is what you do. Right click on the VDMSound shortcut to the game (BLOOD.vlp). Click on "Advanced" button. Then click on the SoundBlaster tab. Write down the settings that are selected (IRQ, DMA, etc.) Now open "SETUP.exe" and put in the settings from the Sound Blaster Tab. Now use the VDMSound shortcut to start the game.

hi all.i have a computer at 75mhz, 32 ram ....i don`t know if this game would work...can you tell me?



666

yes thats actually roughly the same type of machine i played blood on when i bought it years ago! you will need to be using dos or windows95/98/me and have a soundblaster compatible card.

my 'no warranty for explosions' guide to getting blood running right on xp

http://xoopx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blood.html


also for dosbox users, the dos32a to replace dos4gw is worthwhile for the speedup

For those who passed it:

I finished the first three episodes (including all the secret levels), and now I'm playing the last one. I was stuck in the game only once before (beginning 2nd level, ep3, before I found out by accident that throwing dynamite over the fence actually does something :)), and I didn't really expect to be stuck again. But....

Forgot exaclty which level it is. It's full of lava, and in the middle of that is a huge hose with a wrecked roof. Now, I searched everything around it, passed all the passages that surround the house (including the secret one (with the two teleporters)), I eventually came to othe top of the house. And to my huge suprise there was a skull key door. Not having found the key yet I was a bit confused. A big chunk of the wall right next to the door was missing, so I tried throwing dynamite at that, but it wouldn't break. Searched around the rest of that room, and found the elevator shaft (leads back to the bottom of the house/tower), and a skull (not the key, a "drawing" of the skull). I "opened" it and it "grinned", and I expected at least the elevator to come, but nothing happened.

Did I miss anything? Where is the skull key ? What does the skull button do ?

KURO SCURO

I'll swallow your soul!

Man this game rules. You get to kick zombie heads.

is this the full game? or is it just the demo?

its the full one. anyway, does anyone know of any sourceports of the blood engine?

gt wont release the sourcecode for blood, and its not up to ken silverman (who has released the build engine) they dont really understand the idea.. lawyers.
but monolith have given permission for transfusion to use the media in their remake of blood using quake engine. but its only multiplayer.. they seem to have completely stalled the project for a long time.

it makes no sense to release the source for blood 2 but not 1. no sense at all.

how long ago was blood 2 released.and what do you mean by source

i mean the source code and blood 2 was released in 98/99 i think

cool and i mean the actual game when was that released(blood 2)

and still whats the source code do exactley in 2 or less sentances.

Be the game.

right

When "the hand" attacks you is there any way of killing it after you're already attacked or do you just have to prevent it from attacking you?

The hand is the most annoying enemy and the dog that lights you on fire is second.

hi! i've got two questions...hope that u give me some answers:)
1. i downloaded the game and i wanted to set the soundblaster...but it doesn't
work. i can only choose "no sound" and the game is then unplayable...so can u
give me some advice, how can i set it properly? (i've got windows 2000)
2. is it possible in the game, that i can look also up and down with my mouse?
because aiming with keyboard is very difficult...

thanx... :help:

i think i might got an answer to Q. 2
you can't go up and down with the mouse, but the weapons automatically aim to the enemy's above or below you ;)

for Q1, maybe get the VDMsound thing in the Ultilities - Programs
part of the site

part of the site [/b][/quote]
your wrong there, if you go into setup(where you setup the sound card), controls, advanced, mouse, you can set the digital up and down to "aim_up" and "aim_down" and that should solve your mouse aiming problem :)

in blood, 'mouse aiming' is toggled by pressing the U button ingame

oh, thanx ppl...
i've already tried the VDMsound thing, but it doesnt work...maybe because my computer is pentium 300MHz;) well, i try to play it a bit without any sound,maybe with the mouse aiming it'll be quite good;)

I've got a question...
they say that the voodoo doll can be hit in various places. But how do I do that?

nope.
the normal fire on the voodoo doll is just random. the alt-fire is a spell over the whole doll, that kills things GOOOOOD. but uses up the doll.

in the earlier versions of blood, the alt-fire on the life leech doesnt work.. or the alt fire on the napalm launcher.
in the later versions, alt fire sets the life leech down on the ground, and it fires at people. the alt fire for napalm launcher makes bouncy napalm balls!

What does the Beast Vision do?

it just makes the enemy sprites stand out/seem brighter. its basically useless.
i cant remember what the tome powerups do either, if anything. it varies with how late the version of blood is, wether some things are working or not.. like the alt fire for napalm launcher, life leech etc.
back in my blood map making days (never finished one really) it was clear there is a lot of sound/texture/item data that never made it into the finished game as such.. but you could use in user levels.
there are a lot of crazy and fun user made levels out there, somewhere.

Tomes? 5 of them allows you to access a secret (secret level?)

could be. maybe for the chapters that dont have the secret place to enable the secret level?
i dont know.. i always used the 'mario' cheat (depends on version) to manually select the secret levels anyway

Hi all: I have the game running pretty good in windows xp, there is only one problem...the resolution! every time I try to increase it, the game crashes! whats up with this? :wall: Is it a compatibility problem with xp or is there something I'm missing? (it does the same thing in Dosbox) one other thing, this game was released in 97 right!.... then why on earth did'ent they make a windows 95 version?? :blink: just curious!

look at the guide here (its down to vesa compatability)

you need nolfb.com

check out the site jjxb linked, then maybe my crazy running blood tips page


My Webpage

as for why it was in DOS in `97... the build engine code was for dos, and also back in those days there wasnt a lot of memory in computers (average about 8 or 16mb, maybe 32), and win95 used too much just to load itself, for there to be much empty for a high performance game. it wasnt until directx improved in speed, and 3d cards and more ram arrived that windows games that needed a lot of performance came out more often.

Thanks a lot everyone! got the game running good at a higher resolution 640x480. :w00t:
and thanks for the explanation xoopx. The only reason I asked is because Id produced a win 95 version of doom back in 95!. It's a shame Monolith did'ent do the same for blood later on, (say for windows 98) it's such a great game!!..... would'ent it be great if they made a win xp version! :whistle:

I first played Blood when a friend of mine returned from America with a load of games he would never have been able to buy in Germany at his age... I was fascinated at once for I really adore Shooters and you know... it's always a thrill to play a game you're actually not allowed to ;) And since my first computergame ever was Doom I or II (can't remember which part of it) at age 6, I needed this one =)

As a matter of fact, I'm not very concerned about how gory a game is. But somehow this game makes me sick when playing it too exzessively. I'm not quite sure if it's the monks cries, the fact that you have to kill civilians in order to proceed, the possibility to play football with a zombie's head (and that there's even an own map for it) or simply the thought of who on earth develops games like this.

Don't get me wrong - I think Blood is quite a good game (though there are way better ones, but of course it's the nostalgia-factor that counts here ;)), but this is definetely the most ill game I've ever played. When playing Postal I had to laugh, but when playing Blood I sometimes was horrified.

Most freaky scene was when I wanted to shoot a gargoyle who was about 5m above me in the air, the auto-aiming in the game killed the civilians who were right below the Gargoyle when I shot though my crosshair was into it's damn face. Scary :blink:

Well anyway, as I suggest there are enough mad persons ( :bleh: ) visiting Abandonia, try it out - you really should :)

PS: What I hated most were those crappy cut-off hands choking you... I never managed to get rid of them :cry:

PPS: Great Site :ok:

very fun game, but i CANT JUMP?????
how is this possible i press the a button and nothing happens?

Which button?
Have you set up the key configs?

Hello. I also have a prob launching Blood. :cry:
I have Windows XP proffesional.
When i try 2 launch blood, it loads and.... nothing happens. .. :wall:
:help: Help, Please ?

read the previous posts before asking *sigh*

... DOH ! ><

Sorry, missed that one.
( i must be blind, LOL )

:help: Erm this may be off topic but am i the only one who gets an error saying thats its not compatible -uses Windows XP-

OH! Nevermind >.>

hey 4 some reason when i try 2 run the game, i get a blank screen on the DOSBox after setup, but i still have sound

i had the freeware vertion, but i try to dowload this one.

hey guys, i installed DOSBOX, and got blood extracted went thru set up and configured all my controls... but cant for the life of me work out how to get the sound done??

ive tried changing heaps of stuff sound blaster 16 etc etc.. but not sure wat im doing.... and the game wont load till the sound can work !!


any help would be great!!


thanks!

yea.. get d-fend v2 or whatever is out now
and play around with it..

i just accept everything to default when adding a game,
and then edit the cpu cycles from there on if it needs..
of course locking the mouse and starting in fullscreen...
D-Fend is a dosbox interface that really makes crap easy.

BTW does this game have a mouselook command? i cant stand
turning left and right with the keyboard and not aiming at something
above or below, etc etc.

c`mon guys read the threads before asking the same questions.

press the U key to mouse look

how do you get the hand things of when they grab you? its real annoying. and could some one help me with multi player? i wanna play against other people.

to get the hands off (are they saying "go swallow yourself" ??) you need to run about and press the space bar really fast. or whatever key you have set for "use/open" if the difficulty setting is high, you will have a lot of trouble getting them off even then. the best thing is to kill those little buggers first.

multiplayer... get transfusion... its a port of blood to the quake engine, so it has bots and internet play.
getting original blood to play over the net is incredibly complicated, and pointless now.

Wow I can't believe Blood is abandonware. I bought it from EB only last month.
Then again it was only $10. I also got Fallout Tactics for the same price. That is one cool game....and I guess I should rave about FT on the proper thread....heh heh heh.

wow its a pretty cool game i realy like it. its kind of like doom and quake but man its a realy fun and adictive game. i like that you can throw dynomite and stuff i mean thats pretty cool but hey you got to love the pitchfork (They need a chainsaw like in doom 1-3) wow that would be sweet! :guns:

yeah. if doom was as gory as blood then it whould be more fun!

i love doom and if blood had a chainsaw i would probably play it more LOL :guns: do you play doom 1, 2, final or 3

to get the hands off (are they saying "go swallow yourself" ??) you need to run about and press the space bar really fast. or whatever key you have set for "use/open" if the difficulty setting is high, you will have a lot of trouble getting them off even then. the best thing is to kill those little buggers first.

I think it's something like "I'll swallow your soul" , but I still can't make up what they say when they die ("I guess some other time" ?)

Anyway, love this game, much more than its somewhat disappointing sequel. Allthough Blood 2 does have some great graphics I found it to be more like your average 'serious' goth FPS. It just lacks the tongue-in-cheek humor that makes the first part so much fun to play.

I just kinda stumbled upon the plasma pack addon, which is quite enjoyable too :)

Blood2 is also abandonware..

i didnt konw blood 2 was abandon w. sweet :guns:


-----------DragonLancer

Blood 2 = abandonware ?

BTW what's with that " Step 6 " ?
is that supposed 2 b a shortcut ?

Blood2's Source code is released


http://www.the-chosen.com/

I've played Blood several times on my old Pentium 120 and it was alot of fun.
Stiil the episode of that 2 headed monter had levels that made me lose my head :crazy:
The hands were brilliant. They should exist in every FPS.
Going to play Blood again just to check out the secret levels :w00t:
Does anyone knows a football game were the ball is a human head? :evil:

This game is the best FPS classic game that I never played before. Is awesome the levels and the monters. Really scary. About the graphics I can say good but no more. The weapons are cool in special the Tommy Gun and The Shotgun. A lot of blood for each kill. If you really like Doom or Duke Nukem 3D you have to play this game

yeah its awsome. but i can't seem to finish it. even with cheats!

Keep an eye out for all of the easter eggs in this game. There are movie references everywhere. For example, in the cemetary when you open the bushes, look at the open grave the name on it reads "Draven" with a picture of a crow (Reference to Eric Draven from the movie "The Crow").

In the train level after the accident run around through the fire, you will eventually find an opening where you will see an orange Jumpsuit with the name "Kimball" on the back, (Reference Dr. Richard Kimball, from The Fugitive.)
The last one I will give you can find the hedge maze of the hotel area. Walk around and you will find a frozen Jack Nicholson... click on him to hear the classic line, "Heeeeres Johnny!" :evil:

There are about 6 or 7 more hidden movie references throughout the game. Take some time to find them because they are all pretty interesting.
:ok:

where do i find it?

Aww... still can't get it to work... :/ :wall:

wow thats pretty cool by the way i know lots of cheats :sneaky:

How do I kill the first boss (that big imp)? I've used all of my ammo and it's flying. I'm charging on it with fork. Do I have to do some kind of trick or injure him more with my fork? Please help.

Jist shoot him until he dies.

What's the " occurrences " thing ? o_?

Dictionary.com

1. The action, fact, or instance of occurring.
2. Something that takes place.

Also called "event".

Finally ! Got blood workin' on xp . :guns:

If the rip lacks the movies you can find them here. Just incase no confusion is brought on you then have to go into the configuration file and direct the lines about cutscenes to the location of where you put your movies.

Oh thank you, thank you!!!!

yeah, thanks, I hadn't noticed that yet! Now I have to play the gam alll over... again. :D

have a look around with the jump boots (if you dont have them, and dont mind cheating, press T and then type in funky shoes) there is a ledge with a guns akimbo power up, and a bunch of tommygun ammo. the tommygun hurts him the most.

Anytime. I know I get sad when people decide to rip movies so it's always a relief to finally get your mitts on them. :ok:

I quickly turned Blood on and used cheats to kill all the bosses just to see the movies!

There are the following, I think:
- episode 1 intro
- episode 1 boss death
- episode 2 boss death
- episode 3 boss death
- episode 4, last map intro
- episode 4 boss death

Hmm not a bad game but gets tiresome quickly.

Why? I tihkn it's a great game.

It is a great game and very addictive i was sittin here playilng it and then i looked at the time and it was already almost lunch time!!!!!!

hej you all..

I've got a problem. Corridor 7 and Ultima 4 work, but other like blood and comanche won't work :( . I click this .exe dat and for a moment theres a black window, typically for these games you know ;) , and not a second, it's lost, canceled, closed, whatever, away from my monitor LOL..

Why does this ALWAYS close? It's terrible ;(


help me please :/

I got windows XP and enough ghz :D .. maybe the soundcard which is set is wrong? Or maybe videocard... anything that won't be found... mmm.

hej. yes and with dosbox there is to read:
....
loading tiles
src\blood.cpp(1800): tiles###.art files not found


why these files are not found?? (because they are not there.. haha)
they arent there but where are they LOL?

LOL. i am silly.

okay have the fault. but under dosbox it's so .. laggy!!
and without it just don't work. window on, window off.

:(

hmm.. i tried to start the game but only the dos window opens *without any problem msg* and a few seconds after that it's closed and nothing happens..

i played this game for a few jears the first time and so i normally know what to do but the setup seems pretty good so i really need some help here.. :help:

yea try VDM . Now i have it too and it SHOULD run.. but it doesnt. the problem message is src\loadsave.cpp(501) : File error #11 loading save file header

.. whats that i don't know what to do now :( :crazy: :Titan:

Hey Guys i got a problem with blood. I run it under Win XP and all the time i start Blood.exe i get the error message:
"src\loadsave.cpp<501>: File Error #11 loading save file header"
Can you help me to run Blood?

well .. LOL.. Got the same problem...

I had a great time playing this game. Especially with the lot of exlosive weapons and other stuff.

By the way, what's the gasoline can for ?

For MODD :
I am struck at the same level as you are. All I can tell you is that the skull unlocks the lift. To activate the lift press space bar in the dead end next to it. I tell you if I find a way.

For MODD : How to finish the level with lava and a tower in the middle (4th episode).
I could not manage to find the skull key but if you have the jumping boots (after you have jumped on the 1st plattform, turn around and jump a little bit on the left) you can skip this door (when you get down from the top of the tower along the path, you can see a door with 2 fires next to it, jump there ! and finish the level)
Sorry cannot explain better.

it works fine in windows ME.

you can find blood plasma back and blood II in frenchkiss abandonware

Blood finally works well in DOSBOX with my new AMD 64 3000+ CPU - I don't like using VDMSound nor using Windows at all for DOS games. I used to boot in pure DOS mode for that, and really spent hours and hours looking for the most memory conservative drivers for mouse, cdrom, etc. on the internet - but that was 5-6 years ago now and Windows 98 doesn't even support my Audigy 2 nor my 1Gb DDR. Besides, a lot of games have errors on new hardware while DOSBOX works fine with nearly all of them!

After a few episodes it is boring. However, every game gets boring. Maybe I'm just burned out from playing video games.

Anyone here figured out some way to run blood under a windows xp??

If someone discovered how, please write in the forum about how to do it...

I have already tried to use dosBox, but it stays too slow on my pc, so if there is another way i would really like to know.. thx

Yes, you should read this thread.

Tried running this game under WinXP, after following all the instructions on the deathmask website for VDM.

Unfortunately, all I get is sound and no video. It also seems to keep repeating the part where it says 'I have risen...' or something like that. No keys (esc, etc) seem to get me out of this. Lastly, when I try to alt+tab or ctrl+alt+del, it still stays at the blank (black) screen, and I have to reboot my whole computer.

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

other people have written instructions, ive written up exact instructions and links to files and even taken screencaps of what to do. then posted them liberally over this forum.

lets put it this way, if people cant be bothered to look through this forum for the info then there's no point asking, because you obviously havent got the patience or commitment needed to get this game running in xp.

theres no simple fix. there are a lot of fiddlings... that took other people a long time to work out, and me a LOT of time experimenting to add to.

I find that the version with the plasma pack works a lot better under XP - the sound is fine and there are no slow downs.

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.


J

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?
-Ambrosious :wall:

You swim up with jump and swim down with crouch (I don't remember the default keys)

A and Z, me thinks.

Help! I also cant get this game running (im using XP)

Ive done all that things xoopx wrote and on that deathmask homepage. When i run it with dosbos, its just f***en laggy, and the sound ... well its there but its "laggy".

when i try to run it with vdmsound the window appears... Louding XXXX and after that it disappears.

:help: please help! :help:

:tai: it is a real nightmare.

all i can suggest is to tweak around with stuff by yourself, to try and get it to run on your system.
make sure the settings in SETUP for blood are exactly how they are in my screenshots. i came up with them after lots of trial and error.
try reinstalling vdmsound and redoing all the other stuff, because vdmsound shouldnt really puke like that :sick:

heh funny game. you all should try blood 2 the chosen u can have it free from home of underdogs i dunno is it legal but i dont care :D btw thx to him/her that gawe that "mario" code :kosta:

Blood 2 is not very good, at least IMO, and I think that's the public opinion. Legal? Well, the source code has been released... Blood is a great game IMO, and I'm soon going to try Transfusion. Thanks for telling me about it.

i really hated blood2. the worst part was how the guy who was in charge of the project (he got promoted after making a lot of good maps in blood 1 ) hyped up the blood fans on an almost daily basis with wild claims of what the game was going to be.... and then the reality of a rushed/unfinished/lousy game was revealed.

give me the original anyday...


I want Jojo I want Jojo (machine gun fire)

Yo guys, I cant not get this game to run... It keeps giving me this message

"src\sound.cpp(516): Playback failed, posssibly due to an invalid or conflicting IRQ."

Any suggestions? I am runing it using DOSBox 0.63, thanks for any replys

make sure the sound settings in SETUP.exe and dosbox soundblaster settings match up

Really sorry for coming across as a total newb, but how do I do that? Sorry! (I know how to run setup.exe and everything)

Yay! its working! But I am running it from DOS (some ofthe school computers still run DOS) But i need to know how to run it on DOSBox! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Hey! In the carnival level,push the left warning sign in the "JOJO-room".
It opens a secret passage in the same room. From there,youl find................

you should get plasma pack it is more better than original blood
u can get it from e net for freeeee!!!btw u all should try the 3dfx :bye:

Death knight: Why won't you upload the Plasma Pak?

In dosbox folder (default C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.63) there is a dosbox.conf file that contain options. Open it with Notepad. Try to find [sblaster] section. There you can choose which sb should be emulated.

If you are here, you can put for example mount commands at the end of the file. This works like autoexec.bat.

btw which soundblaster is better: pro or 16 ? :P

Probably your computer is too old/slow. Emulation needs much CPU power. So try it in pure DOS or upgrade your machine :bye:

Thanks KoS, I got it running using DOSBox by just turning Blood's sound off using SETUP.exe, it ran really sloooooooooow, so I am just gonna play it in school with the faster computers!

well i dont know how to upload :D

these settings are the ones i found to be optimal

http://xoopx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blood.html

I'm curious as to the sound settings. What would happen if you tried setting the sound to maximum quality?

I'm curious as to the sound settings. What would happen if you tried setting the sound to maximum quality? [/b][/quote]
well if you set the vdmsound or dosbox settings to be the same (otherwise it would be pointless) setting the setup.exe sound settings higher would give better sound, but use more cpu power. i only have a 1.1 ghz amd so i couldnt test.
i know from my blood map making days that the sound samples in blood arent at a very high sample rate, so having more channels would be more useful than higher samplerate.

If you put the sound to the highest quality it makes people in the apartment below you scream and wet themselves LOL :)
I miss living in the country

The FAQ says:

hey guys
this game sucks!!
it kept me from learning for my last (and very IMPORTANT) school test!
so just download this if you really don't have anything important to do in the next few days or you'll regret it! :wall:

Hey there. Just curious if this includes the Plasma Pack add-on?
Heh

I was looking at the instructions at http://xoopx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blood.html , and it mentions making a batch file. How do I go about doing that?

Guest: No, there isn't Plasma pack in it.

How to make batch files?
Write them like text files, but give them extension .bat

I need to share this with you guys.. I'm so happy! Here we go...

I bought today a magazine that came with Blood, and I was desperate to play it... DosBox is damn slow, VDMSound is not 100% perfect (the sound... ah the sound...)

So I downloaded the DOS Boot Disk here from Abandonia, along with the Sound Drivers (luckly, I had exactly the Sound Blaster Live! sound card) and configured everything.

I also downloaded a patch that allows me to play in the 640x480 resolution, so the image is damn good!
Get it here: http://www.deathmask.net/buildxp/ (look for "Step 5 - Get NOLFB")

The sound is also perfect, maximum quality and all!

So this is it, running Blood perfectly! :)

Oh sorry, forgot to add this important detail...

You must install Blood into a FAT partition, so it can be read by the Boot Disk.

theres still another thing you can do to make it run faster,
http://dos32a.sourceforge.net/
get dos32a and replace dos4gw.exe with it (and rename the dos32.exe to dos4gw.exe)
its a much faster version of that program - will let you play in higher res with faster framerate.
using my tricks http://xoopx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blood.html i play in 800x600 on winxp

It's me again!

I can play the game perfectly, but for some unknown reason I have no cinematics playback (the videos).

What could be going on?

They aren't included in the zip. Soemone in this thread uploaded the movies, you can find them in this thread.

I didn't download the game, I have the original one...

But nevermind, I verified my configuration file and discovered it was trying to load the movies from the CD. I just copied them to the HD and changed the paths of the config file, and everything worked fine.

Thanks anyway!

It's me again, the "Guest", but now I registered! I loved this place, I'm willing to help people with trouble based on my discoveries...

But the thing is... I don't emulate the games, I run them on original DOS mode :D

So if you need anything, feel free to ask me!

I know it's irritating having to read my posts all the time.. but now I really need a hand..

I installed the real MS-DOS 6.22, installed the sound drivers and all, but I get this message:

---

9 MB Memory Used

LOW MEMORY WARNING: Blood requires 14mb of free memory
You may experience problems when running Blood with low memory

Press a key to enter Blood...

---

The game runs, but it crashes sometimes for memory problems... I have EMS and HIMEM installed! And I got 768 MB of RAM! How can I make more memory available?? I need only the 14mb... Thanks

I think this is the best shooting game ever! Much better then Quake or Half-Life!

Than Quake : Yes

Than Half-Life : Hmm.. maybe im not sure.

But the game is very funny :ok:

Try Shadow Warrior!

...no wait, it's still sold.

But it's a super-cool game anyway.

So the version we download here is no the full version right? Its just some of the levels. I remember i played it until i beat this huge stone gargoyle, and it returned me to the title screen. I figured that was the end of the "shareware" version, but the full version would continue further. Is this the case?

No, the version availbale is the full version.
It has 4 episodes, you coose "New Game" and select an episode.

Yeah, thanks, i figured it out :) I thought those were different ways to play or something, i dunno. Thanks for the help!

Great game !! :)

When I start up everything works fine up until the title screen, then the title screen sticks there and I can hear it going through a demo (monster sfx and whatnot). I'm trying to run it on Dosbox with VDMSound, and that problem keeps happening. Can anyone help?

dos anyone know where i can find some ports for it so i can play wih higher resolutions?

:help: if you are stuck with the skull piano press from right fourth, first, first, fifth, first :cheers:

What skull piano???

i love these "trigger happy" games. blood and blood 2 are one of these :ok:

I'm having the same problem. Running win2k, it starts up with a few bangs, the monolith screen, then a vampire leaning over the words 'blood', a voice over "I live again". Various sounds after this but no change to the screen. No keys seem to work. I really would like to play this and would appreciate some help. All the other games I have tried here work fine.

Running on dosbox with VMSound

HELP....javascript:emoticon(':help:')
smilie

Were can i find blood2 please tell me. :help: :help: :help:
Blood is a funny game thanks for putting it free :Brain: :Brain:

You can download it at Home of the Underdogs.

i have the movies but i don't know how to put them in the game

Put them into the Movie folder and edit Blood.ini file.

ok. they work now. but i still can't get Ken's patch to work (NOLFB)

I can't seem to start the game. It goes through the loading screens and shows the Monolith logo and the game logo, then, stays at the screen with the title. What's up with that?

Fan-*dirty word*-tastic FPS. Caleb (the protagonist) is The Man in every sense of the word. Highly original weaponry too; nothing like going berzerk with the Tesla Gun on infinite ammo, or akimbo Shotguns ;) Not to mention the sheer sadism of The Voodoo Doll :twisted:

I love BLOOD!!

It is so bloody, its perfect! I love to light the monks on fire and have them scream in writhing agony!! I think that more zombie variations would have been nice and help add to the whole day of the dead feeling. I think abusing the ****** citizens is too much fun!! But why IS it that when you blow them up, they go through the regular throat bleeding animation and then they do not blow up into gibs?!!?!?

I am going to used the EditArt Files and create a more bloodier version hehe, as i need more Blood!!! I think the whole game needs some more gore, the zombies look like they are all dried up, like jerky and not very gory! The monks i think need to look more like zombiess and other things need to be more gorier!! I was thinking of adding some nastier soundFX too, and i was thinking of changing the Zombie death animations

BLOOD IS ABOUT TO GET MORE BLOODIER!! HEHE

Keep looking for those secret levels! There are at least one in each episode.

Hey guys, I absolutely love this game...I remember playing it many a year ago...only the demo tho, and it kicked serious behind.

After downloading it, recently, I was able to play it and beat it, but now for some reason it just stopped working. When I go to play Blood now, it looks like it's about to load, and the screen turns black as if it's about to show me the main menu, but then it just returns me to the Desktop. I've tried it with VDM Sound and it still doesn't work.

Can anyone help me? THanks.

How does one use VDMSound?

I think this is already covered somwhere in Troubleshooting, possibly in one of the FAQ's.

This game is TEH roXor5!!!11!~!

damn, why isnt it working under win xp sp2 ? :wall:

It doesn't work under XP at all. Not on anyone's PC, but I think Dosbox may run it.

Well it does say it's XP compatible... Strange. :blink:

i like it but i dont like to play it with my lights off

This is, without a doubt, the best abandonware game ever...

Then why is Civilization II so much fun to play?
Civ II beats it by miles.

ok. I´ve been trying now for 7 hours. I´ve read everything. I´ve tried everything. But nothing works.
If I use the underdogs version, the archive seems to be broken and gives a cryptic error message.
(X#=0D, CS=01AF IP=000014DF.NTVDM-CPU) This happens with cmd and VDM.
If I try the abandonia version there are many nice options to get the game not working:
1. If I just klick the exe, a black prompt pops up and closes again. (What did i suspect?!)
2. If I use VDM...same thing (ok, the prompt stays, but saying nothing)
3. If I use DosBox it runs, but is very slow (with or without sound).
4. If I try the suggested *.bat file (with the renamed Dos32a.exe, nolfb & clinop(here could be the mistake, i´m not sure if i´m doing this right, just extracting the "bin" archive into the blood folder and then adding the command to the *.bat?) ) it says "0 occurences".
5. If I try the same thing without clinop under XP, a prompt opens, there´s a beep and it closes again. With VDM, there´s a huge error messagse (looking like the good old Blue Screen of Death, but in Black)
6. Some of the last errors seem to be connected to the new dos4gw. (if I replace it with the original, the errors mentioned further above ocurre again :) )
7. If I try to run setup.exe with VDM it says "Spawn Error=0"

Does anyone have an idea what to do and where to begin?

What are your computer specs? It may give some insight into your problem.

For example, I've got a 1.1Ghz celeron with 640mb ram, a geforce4 mx and running winxp sp1... and the game runs well, with sound and all, directly. Without dosbox.

yeah i forgot to add them.
I have an athlon XP+ 1800, Radeon 9600XT and Win SP1.

Groovy game, especially in multiplayer....insane kills with pichfork...thnx a lot for this game! :ok:

hi startet game with dosbox.exe and it doesnt work
file say me that the program is to big for memory
i have 2100xp with geforce5700 and 1gb ram
when i run the game with the normal blood.exe file says:
"src\loadsave.cpp(501): file error #11 loading save file header.

how can i get this game startet? ^^

sry forgot:
win xp sp2

okay. here's what you should try, to get it working:
forget dosbox or anything else.

install the abandonia version, then right-click on the blood.exe file. Click Properties.
Go in the Program tab and deselect the "close on exit" option.
Still in the Programs tab, click on Advanced.
From here, select "Compatible timer hardware emulation".
Close the Advanced window and go to the Memory tab.
Here, Enable "Protected" and "Uses HMA" modes, and for everything else (Conventional memory, EMS, XMS, DPMI), choose the maximum value instead of Auto.
Click Apply and close the window.

Now try running the exe. Because you deselected "close on exit", the black window will now stay open and have an error message saying why it still doesnt work... but it should work.


Oh, and one other question: have you messed around with the setup file? like change resolution, sound cards and stuff like that? If you did, i suggest uninstalling the game (that is, delete) and reinstalling to get the defaults.

Yes hes right ppl who cant get it to work should use dos-box and beleive me going through all the trouble is well worth it cause this game Is AWSOME and you will find yourself playing it for hours apon hours its just so addictive! :D

Actually, I had the same issue with Blood being really slow when I ran it in DOSBox. I solved it very simply by pressing Ctrl+F9 (is that right? I can never remember) to increase the number of cycles from 4000 to 9000, and it worked fabulous. Try it.

ok nikson first thx for help but at all it doesnt work ^^
same message:
src\loadsave.cpp(501): file error #11 loading save file header.
downloaded zip-file again but still it doesnt work :(

hmmm... i think it may be when it tries to load one of the self-playing demos that run in the background in the main menu. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but it might just be the case. Let's try this. I'm going to upload the .dem files in a zip. Just extract them to the game folder. Who knows.
I also looked through the .cfg file for any hints of what that loadsave.cpp may be.
I'll keep looking, in the mean time, try this.


EDIT: gah, where's the "upload file" button...

EDIT2: after more searching through the files, I'm pretty sure your problem is in the blood.rff file. It's "the big one" so to speak, an archive which likely contains c-files like the loadsave.cpp which is giving you problems.
It's just under 8mb though, so if you want to try swapping it, I can give you mine if you've got an email to send the file to.

Worked fine for me (tried it just 2 minutes ago)

thx nikson email is punycdeusmortis@gmx.net
hope it will work....can u say how to install this files?
thx

I am looking for the patch on kens site, can anyone give me any pointers? I may be overlooking it, but I cannot see it anywhere, and Yes, I will feel dumb if I am asking this question in vain, and it is right in front of me. Please Pwn me with your knowledge anyone.

To make sure that I'm giving you the right thing, Dikta, I decided to simply archive the whole game folder with the patches and all.
It comes to 22MB so I split it up into two parts of 8MB and one part 6MB.
I hope your email address allows big attachments.

someone of you know if there is a newer or better graphic version of the game "blood" ????????????javascript:emoticon(':wall:')

Sounds like Doom3!!!

Yes, Ken's patch makes it runable in 640x480. That's about all there is.
Or you could play Blood2 :P

A very good game with great nostalgic graphics, fun gameplay, scary sound, spooky levels, tough enemies... what could one ask for more?! :D

I finished Blood 2 at last i found it i finished it i finished it cool ending :cheers:

Just one thing to the reviev - Caleb is NOT an vampire.

nop Caleb ain't a vampire. He got those poweres by defeating the big boss at Blood.

My Webpage

this game can be compared to the good old doom 2 game!!! :ok:

crap whenever i start the game up it says theres a messup on the sound :angry: any help?

i just put no sound card ;D

what windows do you have and aaa are you using DosBox

Yeah, he's not. He is undead though, kind of like a dead shell with a soul placed into it. He's so amazingly unstoppable though, that he really nestles into a place among my favourite game characters simply because

A) He can walk into a room filled with bad guys, get blasted again and again, clean out the whole room and just absorb power to heal himself up again

B) By Blood2 he is so powerful that he can dual-wield sawnoffs

C) He turns a human being into a fine-red mist, then breaks out into song. Epitome of evil anti-hero.

OHhh ye man that's it

bout that sound, it's very sensitive even if you run it through dosbox, try every dma and iqr... just try...

yea i play it with no sound without dos box
maybe ill try dos box

What windows do you have if you have winXp it will be sound if not i don't know try dosbox

If you use win xp look here -----> http://www.deathmask.net/buildxp/

aww, no fair. I got blood and it worked nicley.. sorta in 320x240 resolution. I try that nolfb thing and my monitor went outta range. I deleted the nolfb thing and set the display back to its 320x240 and the monitor goes on standby, then comes on and says sync out of rance, then goes on standby, comes back on ec ect
why did I get greedy for high res zombie bashing :cry:

what I mean by the post above is, can anyone help?
thanks :ok:

Well you can always reinstall...

reinstall what? I have re-installed blood at least 3 times, and now no dos games will work out of DOS BOX. annoying for those that are fine in windows..
what have I DONE!

You have tampered with powers beyond mortal comprehension.

I mean errr... try reinstalling DosBox!

Yeah reinstall DosBox cause you've probably tampered with the config file too much...

no uh what I mean is no DOS games will work UNLESS they are in DOS BOX, they wont work out of the command prompt :(

Well yeah, that's what you have to live with if you have WinXP...

nono i mean games that used to work on the winxp command prompt... like blood dont now as the monitor just goes on standby...then says sync out of range.... then goes on standby... ect :cry:

Did you mess with autoexec.bat pr some other windows vonfig files? If you did try to put them back how they were(you should've saved a backup) otherwise you're stuck with DOSBox, or you'll need to reinstall windowsa and see what happens...

as far as I know i didnt TOUCH those files, I simply ran the nolfb program...
nothing else at all.
oops, yeah the guest was me
maybe I should re-install XP :blink:

Or just use DOSBox if it works fine from there ;)

Mine works fine on my winxp so aaaaa i don't know what's the problem sound works fine it is everything ok to me try winXP Home Edition

ye im using winxp home and it DID work before I ram the nolfb program. now it wont work and blood doestnt work in DOS box or VDM sound :angry:

don't use that program or what is that run just simply blood

double post what is nolfb anyway

Peope! :kosta:

Please forgive me my bad english but i have to show you two diffrent ways how to play and how to instal blood.

First, if you have troubles to play why don´t you buy a second hand PC?
See, blood works great even with 150/32/some videocard PC.

I know that personally because i have that kind of PC, allright. :D

Second, when you extract blood file´s, use WIN ACE (this is not a commercial break).
See, i had lots of trouble with blood, when i open and installing blood files some other "extractor".
With win ace, blood works great! :ok:

And now, when I use those other "extractors", they open files, I see the map, I could PLAY Blood directly when i use SETUP but I can´t play Blood when use the Blood IMAGE.

Then, when I use WinAce, I can make set up right, but I can´t play it direct with that setup but I can play it direct with Blood IMAGE! Yeah! LOL

If this help´s someone, I am very glad, and yes, I KNOW my language is horrible, but that is because a) I got fired of my school and B) because I am not an Einstein.. :D


I´m living in Finland and I can tell you one thing for shore - There is NOT IceBears ! :eeeeeh:

Now, bye bye and all the best all of yoy people! :cheers:

okok i had a second hand computer but i sold it and now i have a super computer LOL

Hey all, this is my first post. I love Abandonia and all the fun games that it's let me get back in touch with. :D


Anyway, in regards to Blood, I've had a blast playing to the train level in the first episode, but I wonder: is there any way to speed the game up a bit? It's a bit sluggish, but still playable. I run blood from the Blood.exe file in the unzipped Blood folder, in case that has anything to do with my problem. :)


Also, sorry if this has been posted already. :(

Perhaps rezolutions will make that slow movement effect? If you use 640x480, then it will move a bit slower but if you play Blood with 800x600 then it works/moves much faster. :angel:

Hmm... I tried changing the resolution via setup.exe, but now the game just shuts itself off whenever i run it.

Hum. This is hard to me because my english is bad and my WIN98 SE system is all in Finish but I try:

What I mean is, you have to change those resolutions using (I think this is the way how it goes) your mouse.

1. Right click and you see a little grey panel in your screen.

2. Left click a word (perhaps it is "properties")

3. Now, you see a large grey(or other color)panel. Choose and click a word "setup"
or something like that and then I think you see a panel that give´s you info what is your monitor/screen resolutions etc.
And there, you can change those resolutions or what ever they are.

I personally use next one´s: High Color(16 bits) 800x600 and this means that the Blood works very nice but graphics are not so good what they are if use 640x480.

And if someone else now wondering why this guy who called himself "Kaaleppi" comes in this forum and speaks so bad english, I can tell you "story of my life", right now:

I´ll been hanging here, Abandonia, now for about two years, reading posts, rewiews and downloading many, many games.

And inside of me, in my mind and heart, I have that feeling that I need to say something.
But I couldn´t because I know my english is so bad or it is not good, how ever.
Anyway, month over a month, I try just stay calm and keep my stupid fingers out of my keyboard but then it happens:

My brains just give´s an order to my finger´s and that´s it.

I am sorry, because I really understand how it´s look like it. (see, I sometimes have to see how someone post´s something here in Finland and writing very bad finish language..) :whistle:

So, if admin or other´s want me to stop, then say it, and I will. :cry:

Perhaps I deserve this too? :tomato:

Relax, you strange Finn you. Your English is perfectly adequate for carrying a forum conversation.

(Besides, most of the folks here aren't native speakers anyway.)

Hi guys,

This is one of my favourite games ever. I actually own full-blown original with Plasma Pack and Cryptic Passage add-ons (yea, I'm a Blood freak).

I did not read all the pages of this thread (gave up around tenth), so I dunno if someone mentioned it here before or not, but probably not. So...

There is a dude, Mark McWane, who actually made remix of Blood music. But it is not some simple synthetiser remix, but really good job that enhances the music, but does not take away the ambiance. Highly recommended!

Good luck!

De los ,mejores Juegos excelente.. recomendado

I wish I would have played this game inbetween doom and quake.
It would have been real fun then like Duke was.
I saw it in a store once with a free mouse pad that had blood in it :ok:

Is it just me, or is the hardest difficulty impossible? I can barely kill one thing, it has so many hitpoints. I even throw dynamite at it and it lives.

Just don't try the hardest it is imposible yes i tryed it too it is so hard just don't try it you need cheats for that

Even today, Blood is still my favorite videogame, hands down. Despite all the "innovative" featrues that newer FPSes flaunt, and all the old and new adventure games and rpgs with deep philosophical undertones, and thought provoking puzzle games, I still say that Blood easily remains my all time favorite.
That said, I think it's only fair that I mention the HotU d/l includes both expansion packs. And even more, HotU also has Blood 2, which is the only game that compares to Blood. I almost want to say Blood 2 is better, but the full 3D just lacks that great 2.5d rush and atmosphere.
Anyhow, I think it's appropriate to thank you dearly for making this great game available to general public.

No problem we are just doing are job.

I'm in pretty much the same boat you are.
As for the Underdogs version, it is compressed in UHARC 0.2 . Don't ask me why, because it was compressed in 2001, and makes about 5 megs difference from a rar, but I guess it adds 1337 brownie points. Especially because no version of UHARC is backwards compatible with older versions (since it's compressed with 0.2, it has to be extracted with 0.2, which became outdated in, like, 97 I think). So you need to cancel out of the annoying auto-install, and try to save the "blood.uha" file. You can delete "unpack.bat". Open the "uharc.exe" with DOSbox. Type "uharc x blood.uha", and set the dosbox cycles up really high because UHARC 0.2 takes about an hour to extract 25 megs.
Now, my only problem is that I actually used to be able to run Blood fine with the "BuildXP" set up and dos32a. Then one day, it just stopped working. At that point in time, I didn't have much time to deal with it, so I just deleted it. After a reformat, I found myself missing the Blood experience, and it's playing like I never deleted it. I d/led the version here at Abandonia to make sure it wasn't just the OUWB version, and same problem. DOSBox, it runs choppy as hell, but includes the music and everything. Anything else though, it goes to a blank black screen and closes out.
Any ideas?

What kind of machine are you running?

Top :angel:

Thanks, Kaaleppi, for the WinAce suggestion. However, I do use WinAce, and that didn't get the Abandonia version to run. Moreover, the version I'd like to get running was compressed into UHA, which is something WinAce can't handle, let alone version-specific UHA.
As for the other suggestion, I have an old pure-DOS Tandy 486 that I've been meaning to break out recently, this may be a perfect reason to do so. All my other older computers I did something with to permanently screw them up.
But, as I like taking the easy way out of everything, easy meaning less physical work, I'm thinking of making the computer I'm currently using boot into pure DOS. Now, I have no experience with pure DOS on newer computers, so what kind of fun problems would I be able to find myself with if I were to do that? And, even if I were to do so, would it make any difference from using a DOS emulator?

:help: Greetings, just d/loaded this awsome piece of fps nostalgia to find the game graphics quality far below those that are depicted in the screen shots. Im running Windows XP with NVIDIA Geforce FX 64 MB and was wanting to know if the ken silverman patch will work? Anyone else had success using similar system? Also had trouble locating the patch on his site. Do you use the Duke 3D patch to attain high resolution? Any help much appreciated

Use DosBox

Finally got that great game running.
Thank to all of your guys who posted the mods that are needed to make this game running on Win XP !!!! :kosta:

Already tried ot on beginning of 2005 - but at this time I didn't find this great site.

If you still got problems running that game on XP - just follow the step-by-step tutorial found on this site:

http://buildxp.deathmask.net/

You may have to adjust the settings of your sound card (as I had to do to get sound) - that depends on the soundcard in your PC. Think most of the modern PC's got a on-board sound - and those things are tricky... but anyway - it works well for me with res. of 640 x 480....

Ah - and by the way - DOS-Box didn't work for me at all - think my 2,66 Gig P4 isn't fast enough to get this game to work....

Enjoy !!!!

Wondering if someone is still reading this thread.... anyway - I checked and tried further on - found out that the Abandon-Download is Version 1.0. Even I had the original CD I've downed it and updated it with the patch from the Monolith Homepage to Version 1.10 (the R0011.exe-Patch).

I also was reading through other Forums and found an interesting thread how to get the game running on higher resolutions than 640 x 480. It was linked to a patch vor Nvidia-Graphic cards mainly, which was patching the vga.sys file of Windows XP. Here's a copy of this post:

I downed and executed this patch, then started Blood again (with all the modifications described on the Build on XP-Page), changed the Resolution while the Game was running (after patching to Version 1.10 you can change the Res. from the Options-Menu within the game itself) and IT WORKED !!!!! :cheers: :Brain:

After playing around with different Resolutions I quit the game and restarted it later on - and the damn old "Out of Sync" error was back.... :cry:

Tried to de- and re-install this patch - tried nearly every setting, even re-installed the game and applied the patches from scratch - but can't get it to work anymore...... I changed nothing on Windows or other Progs.... but I still assume that WinXP somehow messed this up..... Now I'm not experienced enough to investigate why it worked once - and then simply doesn't work anymore..... I even have some screenshots which prove that the game was running on a resolution of 1600 x 1200......

Anyone got an idea what happened - and how it could be fixed???

I'm running the game on a P4, 2,66 Gig, Geforce TI 4200, OS Win XP Home, SP1, with the NOLFB Vesa fix and the VDMSound as a kick-starter...

Any help or hint would be very appreciated....

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Peter

I remember playing the Blood demo to death back when it was first released. This game is truly great -- I'd play it over most of the new games today. :)

Here's to hoping for a Blood III in the works. :ok:

We'd also have to hope that Blood 3 would make up for Blood 2. While I did enjoy the sequel as a game, it just didn't have the same charm as the original.

1st BLOOD is cool the 2nd not so cool and the 3rd didn't played yet well does blood 3 exist

Nah Blood 3 is nonexistant at the moment. It would be pretty slick if they made it though.

:help: Hello! Sorry if this has already answered, but I can´read a dozen pages looking for what I need.

Basically, the game crashes and goes back to windows (windows 98) when:

- I enter the water and have the scuba suit.
- Try to get an item, a black ball with a blue thing running around it.
- One specific gargoyle appears (not all, but one that shows in one of the episodes)

Otherwise, the game runs quite well.

Hmmmmm i think you should change the windows or i don't know maybe ur sound card or ur video card it depends what computer you have

no. there is nothing wrong in the windows, its in the build engine with the sound card.

Apply the "sound blaster live! fix" what can be downloaded from many places... There is same problem in duke nukem 3d and shadow warrior. Just like i said, its the engine's problem -- a fixed problem.

Thanks, but I managed to make it work: the problem dissapers just running the game in DOS, not windows.

ahaaaa ok so you need a second hand computer to play it or i don't know blood works for me and i got a cool PC with everything :w00t: he he he and it works very fine with my Win Xp

Sort of. Many would think on my computer as a second hand computer. I still use win 98...

:ok: Great Job on this site, game and everything else.

As soon as I crack open the piggy bank, I'll be sure to buy a t!

What to buy man ??? :bye:

I can't make this work! It can't find art files or something. I'm so lost. Can anyone help?

Aplogies for being a total n00b

wooooooooooooow what doesn't work :tai: first tell me what doesn't work and ill tell you

i get an file error when i start the game

I am pretty sure you have said this al ready but i didnt want to read the 23 pages
i am about to win the game, i had have a problem though , the graphics sucks and the sound sucks more eny one know what should i place to see the game ok and hear the sounds good also, the lines are so funny that it rages me to not be able to listen them fine, for ex, just about an hour ago i touched the jason masc and machete and i here DIE DIE DIE... and it ruled i also so freddy crugers sweater and hat in the hospital level, the shining level "heres jhony!" ruled and the frases caleb says in the begining of the maps and killing the bosses are unhearable for me.

I'm afraid that this is how the graphics and sound were in the original, mate.

+EDIT+ This patch here supposedly adds support for higher resolutions, but thats as far as you get.

0k it? me again i started to play after posting and i was stuck before but i havent tried enything, now im still stucked im in the last episode i dont know lvl n but its one with a lot of magma androky trails and some structures where there are bearly some places to get in trhough i need the skeleton key .
eny help plis?

hmmm i played Blood last year 3 times and i know that level it tooked me 30 min to find a way out :eeeeeh: and i still don't know where is that blasted key you got to search everywhere you can or try using cheats :evil:

i dont use cheats even if i get stucked , the location of the key will help me out very much, i searched 99% of the map, because if i would have serch 100% i would finded it now givve me the 1% ;), or the wallhack cheat.

Tried checking Gamefaqs.com?

I have tried to get Blood running on XP. Nothing works. Tried all tips that can be found on the net with 3 different Blood versions.
Then I got the idea to downoad the blood shareware version and after a little VDMSound tweaking it finally started. Even in HiRes mode. I had to disable 'basic VESA support' in the VDMS options, since Ken Silverman's nolfb.com seems to be used for that. Also Soundblaster 16, as described at buildxp.deathmask.net, did not work and I had to use Sound Blaster 2.0 instead. Now I am happy to get to play at least the first episode.

I often read that people find the game to be incredibly hard. First of all, don't set the difficulty higher than 'Lightly Broiled' unless you know the game inside out. I don't know if it is even playable at the higher modes.
You often have to play hide and seek. You will die very quickly when you just run into the action.
It is also very important to reconfigure the controls and use mouse look.

This game is my all time favourite. To most people it looks totally dated, but I still like the unique graphics since the developers did an awesome job with the design, not to mention the great sound.

Can anyone tell me a way to fix the blood i downloaded from this site? I load it up normally and it shows the blood sign, then crashes. When i load it with the VDM sound it says somethingwrong with the sounds.ccp <playback failed>

I love this game i used to play it when i was 4 years old. Any ideas how to fix this?
:)

Howdy!

I have a question about sound in this REALLY fantastic game: the thing is, I have a soundcard integrated on my motherboard and I can't get it work properly with old DOS games. How can I solve that problem? Anyone? Thanks. :bye:

What OS are you using? DOS, 9x, ME, 2K, XP?

Im trying to run it in WinXP. The music is ok, while the FX sound is ... not ok. :tomato:

Im trying to use that program, vdms, but so far I only get errors while loading the game.

For those who are trying to get Blood to work on XP check this site out:

http://buildxp.deathmask.net

:help:

Fatal error while trying to load the game in WinXP, following the procedure on deathmask's page...

"Unhandled exception encountered while loading"

:hairpull:

well then don't try the deathmask :D

Really nice game, have on original disc :D
Wodoo-doll pwnz ;)

Hehehe found a really good 'easter egg' in the game bet all the fans of duke nukem are going to love it (evil snigger)

When you get to the carnival stage at one point you get to a room where you have to walk a high rope above a pit of snakes to get a key. there should be some benches on your right hand side.

press T

type in eva galli

this should enable no clipping mode.

walk toward the wall directly opposite the benches (the one right next to the snake pit) and carry on walking, there is a hidden room.

lo and behold guess who is in this room???
walk up to this errr... um person and press space or your defined 'open door' key for some humorous comentary.

I remember reading about it somwhere.
"Shake it baby", heheh... :evil:

looooooool i know that one its super funny :hysterical:

Help! :sos:

I downloaded Blood a while ago and everything pretty much went fine. I unzipped it and after I finally figured out how to create a working shortcut to it, it worked fine. Now the shortcut won't work and I can't re-install Blood. It keeps making temporary files, but not actual files

I don't know what to do now because I can't even play it after directly unzipping it anymore! It really sucks because I was pretty far and it is an awesome game. Whenever I try to do so, it just gives me the message that it can't run in a window and asks me to run in full screen, but when I try to run in full-screen it just gives me an error anyway.

I know for a fact that my computer is advanced enough to run it correctly, but just in case here are my computer specs:

Dell Dimension 300mhz processor
Windows 98
220 MB RAM
16 MB graphics card (Corell Graphics)
Sound Blaster sound card

Any helpful tips on correctly installing and shortcutting to it [so it won't quit working]?

Tell me all the error message and ill figure it out :cheers:

It says that it can't run in a window and to press Alt+Enter to switch to full screen, when I do it says I can't switch to full!

But that's just when i'm trying to run Blood. What I really would like to know is how to get it to install into my "Unzipped" folder just like everything else! I know that my unzipping software works because I successfully unzipped and installed "Alien Trilogy" [which by the way, sucks].

I don't know why but it seems to not want to install correctly... :wallbash:

I love this site, there is so much information to be found. Thank you.

Well -. if it has been running fine - and then it stopped working, something must have been changed (hope it's not something that simple than you moved the folder around on the harddisk to clean up :sneaky: ).
Well - Blood runs normally fine on a Win98 System - best of all in pure DOS mode - but anyway - it also runs in Windows full-screen mode when following the instructions postetd in this thread already several times - just read a bit <_<

Try to remove the game and all shortcuts you've created completly from your harddisk, then unzip all files again from the downloaded archiv, run setup.exe, then double click blood.exe. If it runs fine, just right click on the blood.exe and choose "Create Shortcut" (or mark the blood.exe, hold down the right Mouse button and drag/drop it to your desktop - choose "Create shortcut here" from the submenu that appears when you drop the file to your desktop). That should do the trick - otherwise tell us what goes wrong on one of those steps.

Cheers,
Peter

Thank you very much for your help! I was doing as you reccomended and I searched my computer for "blood" files and I found that all of the files were installed correctly...to a temporary folder, this would explain why it stopped working on me before. I copied all of the files into a new folder on My Documents, everything runs smoothly.

Thank you very very much for the advice, if it weren't for you, I never would have searched it and probably would have ended up buying a 30$ copy on Amazon.

By the way, why all of a sudden is "Blood" ESA protected? It's been here for as long as I can remember...

How come the movie files don't work?

If only it was still up for download :(

I can open it with DOSBox but the game is very slow for some reason... can anyone help? I tried raising the cpu cycle but it doesnt seem to work !

Another thing, when I try to open the game without the dosbox my DOS windows opens and closes very quickly!

Thats why you need to use DosBox, dummy!

You might want to refer to the DosBox FAQ on their project page... a lot is explained there.

What hardware specs are you trying to run the game at? Maximum number of cycles your machine can handle is capped by the speed of your CPU.

I cant make the game work with win xp !
all those files i downloaded from that site wont run ! they just open a dos window and closes it without saying nothing !

Athlon XP 1700+
1gb ram
asus a7s333
radeon 9600

Jesus holy christ, I gave answer to the almost identical question in the very same thread just YESTERDAY. IT'S ONE POST ABOVE YOURS.

USE THE BLOODY DOSBOX

It's moments like this that I realize no level of re-orginization, no amount of buttons or signs or graphic design will ever stop the dumb questions from rolling in that 5thHM ends up answering.

I salute you, 5thHM, in your lonely vigil as you direct the idiot masses to the answer they should have researched themselves before posting. Your constant readyness with "use DOSBox" and "you can't, it's ESA protected" will forever protect the rest of us from having to tell people "use DOSBox" and "you can't, it's ESA protected."

5thHM, thank you.

I cant use DOSbox because the game runs very slow with dosbox !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, go back and read the first few pages of posts. I think at the bottom it mentions Zdoom or something. I downloaded it and it plays this game perfectly in XP.

You can actually make the game run in windows XP but you have to set all the soundfx off and set the graphix to 640x480 (well it works for me anyways) - you can get it to run with VDMSound but its a bit picky with your sound card settings and lastly it will work well in dosbox but the sounds a bit choppy ---- if it runs slowly just set the cpu cycle up (think its ctrl +f8) correct me if im wrong. :sneaky:

lastly if you really and I mean really want to play the game with no problems at all just dig out your old copy of windows 98 and do a dual windows install (please dont ask me how it's done... I'll just say 'use google and find out), that works perfectly!

Only problem is your hard drive has to be formatted in FAT32 before you attempt to install windows 98 or u are screwed :wallbash:

Damn I just read a few posts back and found out that Ive repeated everything the fith horseman has (LOL sorry)

Also the movie files wont work unless you Docter one of the CFG files I think... Let me just quickly install it (hehehe I got the origonal 2 cd addition with the origonal sound tracks too :bleh: )
Ill post another one shortly explaining how to make the movies work.

Ok open up the file in your Blood directory called blood.cfg

you should see the following writing in it somewhere in episode 1-4 (ill use episode 1 as an example)

Episode1]
; The following line was set by the install program
CutSceneA=D:\movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=D:\movie\cs1822m.wav
; The following line was set by the install program
CutSceneB=D:\movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=D:\movie\cs2822m.wav

Ok now im not too sure what your files look like if you downloaded them from the site, or if you have the CD but want the movies to run from your hard drive then use the following steps to correct it.

copy the movies into your blood directory (they are in under 'movie' in your cd-rom directy if you have the C.D - if you have downloaded them then make and copy them into this directory)

then all you have to do is change them to the following

Episode1]
; The following line was set by the install program
CutSceneA=C:\Blood\movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=C:\Blood\movie\cs1822m.wav
; The following line was set by the install program
CutSceneB=C:\Blood\movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=C:\Blood\movie\cs2822m.wav

notice all you have to do is put a C where the D was and add Blood\ in front of Movie
if your Hard drive is not C, then just put in the appropriate letter (for egsample my main hard drive is F :blink: and my C drive is my secondary hard drive :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: )

just do the same for episode 2,3 and 4.

Hope that helped in some way... if not sue me :bleh:

by the way I didnt mean sue me literally (apparently you can sue anyone for anything these days!) :whistling:

What the *meep*??? Caleb isn't vampire!

I'm having quite a few problems, it only plays the intro, then it sticks on the Blood and music...do I just wait or , ? :sos:

Hello, you may remember (or have ignored me) as "Duke Fan In Need".

Well, I have contradictory information to the usual "It's ESA protected!" answer that's thrown around:

Those who wish to download Blood still can! by clicking on this link - Here's Blood!

Also, a weird thing happened to me, I used the "mario" code to jump to episode 5 and...it let me. There weren't any enemies in the level, but is this still Cryptic Passage?




EDIT: NEVER EVER POST WAREZ-LINKS HERE!
Keep Abandonia the high quality Abandonware place that it is!

My god, I thought you guys actually wanted people to be able to play great games! Monolith doesn't sell Blood anymore, and if it's ESA protected, *meep* it! We should be able to download it from wherever we want to, and I don't even think that site IS a warez site. :angry:

The only reason I even come to Abandonia is to get FREE games, I don't really give a damn what the ESA or anyone else thinks, if I want a game, i'm getting that *dirty word* game. And there's no one that can stop me. :kosta:

Well, you are true about that - but we can prevent you here. And with your nice attitude, I believe a ban would be in order.

Consider yourself free to roam whatever warez sites you want in the future - and we'll consider ourselves free from one more warez pirate.

you know, <I Guess I've Found More Puri>, we "give a damn" becouse abandonia could be canceled if they hosted esa protected games

Umm, hello...it's a bit weird jumping in at this point in a conversation but, apart from his bad language and uncaring, i've experienced the same thing. Is the fifth chapter Cryptic Passage?



edit: signature disabled - swiss

Iowa, that signature is huge. Can you use a smaller one?

Done and done...now will you people please get off my back about that?

I take it nobody knows the answer to the "episode five" question...

-Do these work with zdoom? I'm going to have to try them. Nothing better than getting to zip straight to the end of a game without playing it.-

-Guesst

I dont know, I havent tried zdoom but they should as it is part of the origonal config file that runs the game, as far as I know zdoom doesnt change the game files - you do need the movie clips or they wont work and as ive said I didnt download the game from abandonia (as Ive got the origonal 2 cd version :bleh: ) so I dont know if they come with it, you will have to ask the admin or a VIP if they are downloadable if they are not available with the one you downloaded.

BTW - this game kicks duke nukems A$$, dont think anyone here will disgree with me on this point. its got the same amount of funny line (cept non of em are corny) and hellish carnage all around

I give this game 5/5 everyone should.

Yes, that's my bias too. Although I do think that DN's catchphrases have the same amount of cheesiness as Caleb's except for Duke uses much more profanity.

I actually like Duke's dialogue better, I mean, "I ain't afraid of no Quake!"...how awesome and funny is that?

yeah I guess, point made :max:

I gave away my nukem cd not long ago, I bought it the same time as blood (which was years ago) but never really got into it after playing blood. :blink:

That's understandable, Blood's gameplay is a bit ahead of Duke's, but both games have fantastic level design!

I agree.

And there's also Shadow Warrior...

Shadow Warrior is fantastic; funny, gory, well-designed...all the makings of a great game.

LOL yeah, remember when you kill that fat sumo wrester and wang pulls out his eye with chopsticks

"MMMMMM Takes like a-chicken"

is there a patch out there that will allow you to play blood in multiplayer... I am indeed the god of Multiplayer blood - in the 'old days' we used to hook up to a LAN (on my block) I always ended up frying the competiton :ph34r:

it has got the modem option... but who used them these days :blink:

I hope you know you're talking to a dial-up user... :not_ok:

I believe i've heard of such a patch, though I don't know where...in any case, i'd start by reading all the pages of this forum (I did it, so can you) and seeing if there is an answer there, you could also start by going HERE, they have a bunch of first-party patches.

hi people,

i have a serious problem -

i downloaded a version of blood (somehwere), in fact i downloaded two different versions - (1.00 and 1.10)

but the problem is:

i cannot play them for whatever reason with DOSBOX,
in the BLOOD.INI the path is correct and so on, in the setuo the sound is cirrctly chosen -

but when it starts to load a demo or do something just nothing happens, just some sound play and repaet all the time -

i am really clueless atm,

does somebody expeirienced the same problem, what can i do -

plz help !!!

ok ok i got it finally -

hopfully i can improve the games performance though by now its onyl playable at the lowest resolution(s), the higher make the game unplayable - i wonder i somebody has some hints hoe to improve the performence -

and i wil also try z-doom :)

btw, z-doom requires a wad-file -

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Guest @ Oct 10 2006, 08:54 AM) [snapback]260480[/snapback]</div>If you want performance-improving tips, skim the previous pages of this thread. There's absolutely tons of helpful information about running Blood...believe me, i've read the entire thing before.

how do you download the game? i keep reading all the fun yall are having playing it. however, i cant seem to get it to download. what is the esa and why cant i download this game from here? i have been reading and reading and reading. i dont see anyone mentioning how to download the game. i want to download it i just cant figure out where or how to get it. any and all help would be much appreciated. thank you and have a nice day.

I am sorry, but Blood is now unavailable for download...it's ESA protected.

The ESA in question is a group that governs software and its copywrites, Blood used to be abandonware, meaning you could download it and be on your merry way. Unfortunately for every single person on Earth, it got copywrite protected not too long ago, a stupid move, seeing how Monolith isn't selling it anymore anyway.

So, in short, if you want Blood the only place you're going to be able to get it is a pirated games website. And because piracy is not approved within the Abandonia community, my lips are sealed.

I truly am sorry about this, I myself had the luck of downloading it a day or two before it was copywrited...

Until then, search Ebay or Amazon.com for a used copy, believe me, they're out there, you just have to be willing to buy the game (believe me, it's worth the fifteen dollars and more.)

Do yourself a favor. Read this.

This game is under protection of ESA (entertainment software association) and it CAN NOT BE DOWNLOADED! We also can't provide you with information on where or how to get it.

BLOOD RULZ! THE 3 best games on this days.... DOOM, DUKENUKEM, BLOOD !!!

True...if you mean Doom II. The first Doom is utterly boring. <_<

Well damn me, yesterday I started playin Blood again and ye know what? Those pesky little chokin hands ain't killable in my version. Is that a bug? I can kill them as long they don't jump me, but if they manage to jump and choke me I'm lost. I just can't throw them off. Could need any bit of help, just fer the case that anyone's still readin this thread. <_<

I'm reading it...and I really don't think there's any way to shake those nuisances...

You just have to figure out exactly where they are, and bait them (run out and get them to see you) and then run back and shoot them with the 12-gauge. God those things suck...they would be the worst enemy in the game if it wasn't for Hellhounds.

oh **** I thought you can get rid of 'em after they get you. I read something like that on planet blood.

Its another verison of the classic DOOM game!

Hi guys,

I have a problem, I got dosbox and I can play blood but it is Sooooooooooo slow....

How can I do to play it better ?

Thanks

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Bobafett @ Feb 7 2007, 09:25 AM) [snapback]278317[/snapback]</div>You could try turning up the CPU cycles in dosbox. Hit CTR F12 anytime while running dosbox and you'll see the CPU cycle counter at the top bar or the box go up. Do that until the game runs smoother, but don't go too high. Otherwise, I dunno.

The game is awsome. I remember the demo first came out, the flare gun is genius! Unfortunetely, I can't get this baby running for me at all, so all I have is memories. Maybe I'll get it up and running sometime.

Hi, and thx for repply so soon,

I try to up cpu cycles a lot, but it says me at beggining that I don't have enought memory...
Can i upgrade my cpu memory ????
( its a portative pc, 1Go ( DDR ) 2 GHZ processor )

cya

I have the same problem (games is too slow). The same problem occurs with Duke 3D and Shadow Warrior :(

I have an Athlon XP 2800 and I tried everything with Dos. Increasing CPU cycles definetly does not help :(
Maybe so kind of incombatibility?

I haven't managed to get it to run smooth in dosbox. I can run it in windows and if i want sound i have to use vdm-sound (not 100% sure about the name)
I think the problem is that dosbox emulates a cpu and i think there is no 3d acceleration either.

Did you try to increase the amount of memory emulated by DosBox? Open up DosBox.conf and edit the appropriate line.

Also, if everything goes right the next version of DosBox should be out in a few months. They're getting faster and faster with each one, so it just might solve your problem.

ah!

Hmm... something comes to my mind:

Is it legal to buy this game from someone who downloaded a copy before the protection was raised?

So... can i buy a copy from someone who downloaded it?

Exchanging illegal copy of a game for money? That's warez.
Any attempts to do so will end in a warn increase or - if you are persistent enough - a ban for you and any wannabe sellers as well.

This game looks awesome.

Not only does it look awesome...it is awesome, man :ok: .

No it wasn't/isn't legal, no game here on abandonia is legal to download. (see the first FAQ here: http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=faq )

Ah, ok, thats all i wanna know, thx!

Good game anyway... played it years ago in a lan, was enourmos fun to battle in the map with the two castles.

:sos: Hi guys. Yet another game I'm having trouble configuring the sound. Can you help me out? I have the re-issue of the game (the one with the bloody hand on the cover, bought brand new - take THAT, copywright preachers! :bleh: ).

Whoops! Forgot to mention the problems! The sound effects when tested in setup.exe are broken and there's no music. Any correct soundcards, IRQ addresses etc?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Leviathan @ Mar 2 2007, 01:32 PM) [snapback]281592[/snapback]</div>The multiplayer mode was the best. I only remember other game like this... the inmortal DUKE NUKEM 3D.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Runespawn @ Mar 25 2007, 02:22 PM) [snapback]284954[/snapback]</div>This all depends on what you are using to run the game, for instance; are you using Windows XP/2000? If so, are you using DosBox or another type of DOS emulator?

Because from observing many (and I mean many!) past problems, people generally receive more trouble from a DOS emulator rather than a DOS shell (Windows 98, 95...you know, old stuff).

The only thing I could really tell you is that the default settings for sound cards are Sound Blaster (or 100% compatible) with port address 220 and my IRQ is 5. I dunno, it could be alot of things...but if you have those settings selected, then the sounds should work...

P.S.: Congratulations on buying a brand-new copy of Blood instead of downloading a warez torrent, you're doing Monolith a big favor ^_^ .

Yeah, cheers! ^_^ I got it off eBay from Canada (I think) but I didn't think I'd win it - I just put a max bid of $40 and I won. I've never played the whole thing from start to finish, so I'm looking forward to it.

Anyhoo, enough chit-chat. I tried that and it works as smooth as butter on dosbox (runs okay on XP too, but still has a broken sound and a dash of slowdown) but with one small problem: no music. Now as far as I remember, Blood doesn't have much music in it (correct if applicable) but when I tested the card (the Soundwave one sounded better than the barely audible Sound Blaster, so I used that and it was fine in setup) and then saved and launched the game, there was no music. As I said, I don't remember much of the music from the game but I know the first level has 'cos it creeped the hell out of me (very Hallowe'en-esque gothic keyboardy stuff!). I need the FEAR!!! Although Caleb's one-liners are a laugh and a half on their own (press the activate key beside the grave in the secret area just as you leave the crypt where the first level starts and he says 'Nevermore...'. Brilliant!)....

Basically, fine in testing/setup, no music in game.

Might sound stupid... but did you check the music volume?
And, is the game set to use IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220 in the soundcard configuration (these are defaults for DosBox)?

Volume's up full - I even turned the sound effects down but to no avail. Tried entering that address but there's still no music. And by the way, after I launch the game, the GT Interactive and Blood screens don't come up after the Monolith screen, why is this? Have I installed the game incorrectly (bear in mind, it works rather poorly on XP and it's supposed to work fine)?

I know that sounds confusing, but this is what's happening!

Anyone have any ideas?! :unsure:

when setting music card (its different than sound effects card), use Aldib ..and then check volume for MIDI out=) ("SW synth" in winXP)

by the way, for Blood i d recommend you "VDM sound" http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs ..or better, install windows98

A 3D shooter which can make you afraid at times , well I admit I got scared at times when playing, especially when some of the bat like statues that suddenly get alive and attack. There are ghosts dressed like monks, zombies having AXE in their hands, fire breathing creatures. Then the best enemy is hell hand, its just a wrist not the whole hand, its love to strangle.
The graphics are excellent. The music that deserves a praise, it really adds that horror element into the game and blends very well with the game. The lighting effects are worth noticing in this game and enhances the scary factor of the game. This game too has funny one-lines and witty comments just like Duke had. I love the pitchfork and the tommy gun. If you want you can play football with the head of that AXE holding Zombie. It is scary, very violent, gory, very gory. Though scared, I enjoyed playing it.

so i have had this game for ages but have never been able to get it running properly, i dont seem to have a problem with the sound in setup because both soundblaster and gravis ultrasound test fine and sound normal.
but when im playing the game in dosbox its really slow and choppy, as is the sound playback. By the way im also using dfend because i hate using dos and cant really remember how to use it and im too lazy to experiment with it, i have played with the settings a bunch of times in dfend but i have very little improvement, is there anything specific i should know to make it run?

Try increase the cycles in DOSBox, and/or experiment with the core in the DOSBox config. Mind you, if the cycles are set too high, the chopping sound may return. It's a matter of balancing between too slow speed or too fast. Also, keep in mind that DOSBox is rather resource hungry, so you might experience nuisances if your machine isn't in the upper range.

This is one of the greatest games of all time :kosta:


Blood 2 is pretty cool but I think it is no where near as good as the original





Love that sawed off shotgun!!!

Sounds awesome, I'll have to try it

What's the cycle ? I can't find it in setup

For the cycles in the DOSBox, look for these lines (the numbers may differ in your config)

[cpu]
# core -- CPU Core used in emulation: normal,simple,dynamic,auto.
# auto switches from normal to dynamic if appropriate.
# cycles -- Amount of instructions dosbox tries to emulate each millisecond.
# Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
# You can also let DOSBox guess the correct value by setting it to max.
# The default setting (auto) switches to max if appropriate.
# cycleup -- Amount of cycles to increase/decrease with keycombo.
# cycledown Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

core=auto
cycles=10000
cycleup=1000
cycledown=1000

When I play it in Win98 sometimes the keyboard freezes, so I can't move. Dunno why it happens, but it happens often in about 10 minutes from run, then it was allright and working

If you play it on Win9x, did you try to run it in DOS? DOS is accessable through Win9x, and you can of course use a DOS boot disc.

If your machine is up for the task, consider using DOSBox.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mighty Midget @ Aug 8 2007, 06:31 AM) [snapback]303493[/snapback]</div>
Under "pure dos" the freeze didn't appear, but under the "Windos" sometimes it happens :unsure:

Well, one thing about win9x, is that is takes up parts of the memory DOS concider it's own. I suggest you play it in pure dos, but as you may fully well know, you will need DOS drivers for your sound card.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mighty Midget @ Aug 8 2007, 11:59 AM) [snapback]303539[/snapback]</div>

Brrrr...

wow, that was some encrypted language

NO RUSS.

NO!!

I have a couple questions about this game.

Blood on its own is a two CD game, yet in the One Unit Whole Blood package, it, and all the expansions, are on a single CD. My questions? What's on the second CD of the regular version of Blood, and what's not included on the OUWB package to get it all to fit on a single disc?

Maybe some extras, like MIDI music, editors, demos, sneak-peak pictures..etc?

I thought a one CD game.

Not 100% sure about this :
you could get it on floppies, but only the shareware version.

Perhaps the second CD has the soundtrack?

dosraider- The I've seen the CD shareware version before, and it's on a single disc. It was sold in stores, and my understanding is that it has the CD music for the first episode, the first episode itself, and the movie(s) for that episode. The full version is a two CD set, with all the episodes, a CD soundtrack, and all the movies.


the_fifth_horseman- That's what I was thinking it could be. I know the full game has a lot of levels, and if there were enough individual songs in the CD soundtrack (or the first disc had too much data on it), then a second disc would probably be needed so disc swapping wasn't an issue. Hopefully Iowa will pop in here and let us know, since he just got it :)

Well, look, Iowa popped in.:amused:

Yeah, I'd be willing to upload any extras on the CDs, if that's what the conversation's about. As for how the game is structured between discs, I've found that the full game, cinemas, and multiplayer services (long since obsolete) are on the first disc. While the second disc has a couple Windows themes, some shareware, and a music video.

But what puzzles me is that I can't seem to find the audio tracks anywhere. The game won't even register that they exist when I mount the first CD to DOSBox, and it's a shame because half of the reason I bought it was for the CD audio I'd been hearing so much about. Any ideas, Horseman?

Edit: The cinemas aren't playing either...this is getting mighty frustrating.

Not to turn this into a tech help thing, but try popping both discs into a regular CD player. If the audio tracks are there, they'll show up on the track counter. As for the cinemas, people have encountered various problems, from having them play with the wrong colors, to simply not playing. Supposedly everything works peachy with DOSBox .72.

Explains a lot, I bought mine long ago second hand, always thought it was only one CD.

About the music: look in the movie folder, you'll find *.wav files there that can be played in media player.

[EDIT]
And if you want more blood soundtracks:
http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-...ks/album/blood
If you're not registered you will have to download them one by one.

I think I may have a couple solutions for you...

As the newest owner of Blood (all hail flea markets!), I learned a few things about the game. First, in order to have the movies play, you need to go into the first disc, and open the "MOVIE" folder on it. In there, you'll find a file called "WINSTALL". This file installs a movie player onto your computer, that allows the game movies to be played. Double click that, and let it do its thing. Once you do, the movies should play without any problems.

However, if you eventually get tired of putting the disc in every time, and don't mind listening to the midi tunes, you can also put the movies on your hard drive. For this, just copy the entire "MOVIE" folder on disc 1 to your Blood directory. Once that's done, go into the "blood.ini" file, and edit these lines...

CutSceneA=F:\movie\cs1.smk
CutWavA=F:\movie\cs1822m.wav
CutSceneB=F:\movie\cs2.smk
CutWavB=F:\movie\cs2822m.wav

CutSceneB=F:\movie\cs3.smk
CutWavB=F:\movie\cs3822m.wav

CutSceneB=F:\movie\cs4.smk
CutWavB=F:\movie\cs4822m.wav

CutSceneA=F:\movie\cs5.smk
CutWavA=F:\movie\cs5822m.wav
CutSceneB=F:\movie\cs6.smk
CutWavB=F:\movie\cs6822m.wav

Change the "F" into whatever your hard drive letter is, and add the extra path data for where you have the "BLOOD" and "MOVIE" folders. As an example, here's how I have mine listed in my ini file...

CutSceneA=C:\BLOOD\MOVIE\cs1.smk

The actual path for mine is C:\Games\BLOOD\MOVIE\cs1.smk, but because DOSBox believes my "Games" folder is the C drive, I don't list it (the movies don't run if I do). So remember not to include the folder that your copy of DOSBox believes to be your hard drive.


As for the CD audio, I'm not sure why yours isn't playing. I popped my disc one into a cd player, and the eight music tracks were right there for listening. They also started playing from the get go when I started Blood for the first time. The wav files dosraider pointed to are used for the movies, and aren't the CD music (at least, not on my copy). So I again suggest putting disc 1 into a CD player, and see if the music tracks are there. If they aren't, then they may have been removed for the "Special Edition" (kind of like what happened with MechWarrior 2 when it was repackaged by Softkey).

Let me know if you run into any problems :)




Oh, as a couple quick notes, to play the game with midi music, type "-nocd" when starting the game (i.e. "blood -nocd"). Also, for this game, bump the "memsize=" line in your DOSBox config file up to 32 if you don't have it there already. I got a couple "out of memory" errors when it tried playing the movies at 16, and they've yet to appear at 32.

Help, please! I can't find the 'download' button on BLOOD page at http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/103/Blood.html :oh::wondering:

*Sigh*

No, you can't, neither can anyone else, because the game is protected.

http://www.abandonia.com/themes/abandonia/nogo.gif

says NO GO. Don't ask where you can download it for free.

You will have to buy it.

:nuts:

Protected or not protected, but on Russian sites one can find everythng absolutely free!!! I did.:):):)

Technically, both of you have some point in this case.
Blood has had its status recently re-evaluated, and I was about to make it downloadable again.

HOWEVER, as long as a game has a SOLD or PROTECTED status on Abandonia, requesting download links still remains a warez request - ergo a violation of our forum rules.

If you mean trojans, rootkits and virii, then yes.
Do not attempt to advocate warez again. Or there will be consequences.

In Soviet Russia, Virus download YOU!:cool:

invalid irq?
 

ok. im running dosbox to play blood. when ever i ry to play it says "Playback failed, possibly due to an invalid or omflicting IRQ" how do i fix this?
