Can't run Blood - "file too small"

Madface · Post by **Madface** » Tue Jun 06, 2023 8:24 pm

Hello,

Mac user here. OS Ventura 13.4. I can't get Blood Version 1.0 to run on Raze 1.7.1. I keep receiving this message: "BLOOD.PAL: file too small"

I own the original CD version of Blood, Shadow Warrior, Duke 3D, Nam, and a few other Build games. I can play them all on Raze but Blood.

I have created the Blood subfolder, dumped all the files in there as instructed in this thread (viewtopic.php?t=71962) but to no avail.

My copy of Blood does work on Boxer BTW.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You'll need to patch your Blood files to 1.21, RTM files aren't supported.

Even for the other games, I know you can play Duke using the 1.3D file but it's not a tested scenario for us and 1.5 is recommended. Same for SW as well.

Thanks so much for the info. I'm not sure of a way to get Blood patched on the Mac without running a virtual machine.

Are there any tutorials I've not looked at for patching Blood on Mac? (I checked the Blood Wiki.) Or is there a version I can buy and download? (I'm looking at Gog but I don't know at this time how to open the executable on Mac)
