help with cutscenes (DOSBox)
hi, i got cd version of blood. y run it in dosbox 0.72 and it has no cutscenes, then, i go to the blood.ini and the path is correct and the cd in mounted, so i change some settings in the setup and still no cutscenes. i go tho the cd and check the video files, and they have size, so i guess the work. i dont know what to do
Welcome to the forums Lash94,
You might try changing your video mode (machine) in your DOSBox.conf file. I've had mixed results with it, but "opengl" seems a good place to start if you still have it on "overlay"
Also, when you say CD version, do you mean Blood 1.0 or Blood 1.21? I seem to remember reading a patch history note about videos not working before 1.10 under pure DOS. If you are still running 1.0, download the 1.11 patch and update Blood.

ok, i updated to dosbox 0.74, then updated blood to 1.11 and now plays the monolith and gti videos but still no cutscenes, so i tried output=opengl
and diferent machine values (hercules, cga...) but is not working
i have tried to make it work with the avi cutscenes and the smk videos changing the blood.ini file and placing the videos in the blood installation directory but it doesn works either

The Blood.ini should point to the smk files
I've always had problems with DOSBox working exactly right with CDs. For instance, you probably have noticed that it wont play the Blood audio tracks in game. I wonder if it's overly redundant, effectively reading your CD-ROM in really slow PIO mode. It takes FOREVER to install Blood from your CD within DOSBox.
Something you could try. Copy your movie directory from your Blood CD to your Blood directory and change your Blood.ini file to point to the local movie directory copy rather than mounting your CD-ROM. Be sure to remember the path it will be within DOSBox.
You could also try creating an ISO file with the movie folder. You could then use the IMGMOUNT command to mount the ISO. ie: imgmount D BloodCD.iso -t iso. This is the way GoG.com has it in their Blood distribution.
If you use the imgmount process, with a little more work, you can use it mount a CUE sheet that indicates both the iso, and the Blood music tracks if you've ripped them to OGG files. You can find more info about that here. DOSBox Wiki: CUE Sheets.

# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.
[sdl]
# fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
# fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
# fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
# Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
# If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
# (output=surface does not!)
# output: What video system to use for output.

# waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
# priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
# pause is only valid for the second entry.
# Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.

# This is the configurationfile for DOSBox 0.74. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are commentlines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.
[sdl]
# fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
# fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
# fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
# Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
# If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
# (output=surface does not!)
# output: What video system to use for output.
# Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.
# autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
# sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity.
# waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
# priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
# pause is only valid for the second entry.
# Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
# mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the defaul value.
# usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

# Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
# 'auto' tries to guess what a game needs.

I keep meaning to ask this, but you are on a Windows PC correct?
Linux is cAsE-seNsiTive and I'm assuming that Mac OS X is as well. If you are on either of these, you will have to be sure to mount the directories using the proper case.
It looks like blood.ini is expecting that you have copied the movies over to your Blood folder. Be sure the movie directory is there in the Blood directory and that the smk, and wav files are within that.
A few things for DOSBox
Add your mount lines in at the bottom. It saves on typing & insures that it's mounted correctly each time.
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
mount c C:\your\install\directory
Just be sure that Blood installed as c:\your\install\directory\blood
This will result as a c:\ with a directory listing with your Blood folder off root. ie C:\Blood\ from within DOSBox
You could also give DOSBox more RAM to work with.
