BLOOD CUTSCENES (retail shareware only)
In order to preserve space on your hard drive, we have not installed
the Blood cutscenes. Therefore, you must have the Blood CD in your
CD-ROM drive to view the cutscenes. Copying CS1.SMK and CS2.SMK from
the CD to your Blood directory may improve video performance and will
eliminate the need to keep the CD in the drive.
If you copy the cutscenes, you must modify the BLOOD.INI file to
point the program at the video files. CutSceneA in the [episode1]
section should point to CS1.SMK and CutSceneB in that section
should point to CS2.SMK.
For example:
CutSceneA=c:\blood\cs1.smk
CD AUDIO (retail shareware audio)
CD Audio will only play if the CD is in the drive. If you wish to
view the cutscenes but don't want to listen to CD audio, use the
"-nocd" command line parameter.
SOUND & MUSIC
You should test your SOUND FX card before testing your MUSIC FX card.
AWE32
If you have problems with your AWE32 card while in DOS mode, make
sure that you have run the SBDIAGNOSE utility that comes with your
audio card. If you are still having problems playing music, try
switching your music card to SoundBlaster.
PROAUDIO 16
Although the Proaudio 16 is listed in the setup program, it is not
currently supported.
=============================================================================
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have sound problems:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Verify that you have run SETUP.
* Use the same values as the BLASTER environment variable.
* Make sure that the sound card setup utilities
are being run from your AUTOEXEC.BAT
* Don't run under a Win95 full-screen DOS box unless
you absolutely have to.
If you are having mouse problems:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Using a 3-button mouse requires the latest drivers
from the vendor, especially if running under Win95.
* If all else fails, configure as a two-button mouse,
or keyboard only.
If you have crash problems:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Don't run Blood under Windows or Win95.
* Blood requires 16MB of RAM right now.
* Blood requires DOS 6.22 or later.
* Blood requires a mouse driver.
