I've got exactly the same problem. My error message is
Code: Select all
src\demo.cpp(510): File error #11 loading demo file header.
Then I deleted the demos and I could start the game. I could see the menu background, but there were no menu-points to select. I could however enter level one after pressing enter several times - but then the game crashed while loading and another error message popped up:
Code: Select all
src\asound.cpp(203): Missing sound #35 used in ambient sound generator 4
These error messages appeared after I did everything like it is written in "Build on XP", too, so it seems that Build XP has nothing to do with these errors.
Because this was very mysterious, I started the game with DosBox, and everything was there, I could even play the game --- with a handful of FPS^^
I don't know why these errors appear on XP... it seems like Blood can't load some files, but it can with DosBox???
btw: I have WinXP Pro SP2 and I downloaded Blood one time from Underdogs and the second time from Nestlesux, this means it has nothing to do with the game itself...especially when it works with DosBox...
Does anybody know a solution to this? I never played Blood before and I want to listen to "Ta Da"!
