- BLOOD(TM) Shareware v 1.00 README.TXT
- April 24, 1997
-
- Other useful files:
-
- bloodhlp.txt the text version of the printed manual
- monolith.txt A personal note (and challenge) from Jason Hall,
- Monolith's CEO
-
- 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.
-
- MODEM
- When choosing the modem type from the Blood-Setup menu both players should
- use the default modem setting.
-
- FOR MS SIDEWINDER 3D PRO USERS
- Configure the Setup Joystick options as normal. If you wish to use the
- rudder feature, make sure to click the Enable Rudder option. In the Advanced
- Joystick Setup, delete all analog references, and use the digital settings to
- configure the stick to your preferences. Under Advanced Rudder/Throttle
- Setup, delete all analog references and set the Digital Setup to your
- preferences. The MS Game Device Profiler software that ships with the
- Sidewinder can be used to configure the four base buttons to your liking,
- and works will with Blood.
