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?

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.

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

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

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

k: Wooooooot i can play blood again !!! k:
This website is wicked :P

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?
