Game Installation

and Setup

DOS INSTALLATION

1) Insert the Blood & Magic CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2) Type "D:" (where D is the letter that designates your CD-ROM

drive), then press <ENTER>. You should now see the D:\ prompt (if D is
your CD-ROM drive).

3) Type "INSTALL," then press <ENTER>. Follow the installation

instructions.

If you choose the default settings which are offered to you, then Blood
& Magic will be installed on to your hard drive in the directory
C:\INTRPLAY\BAM. A partial installation requires 25Mb of hard drive
space, and a full installation requires 225Mb.

Following the game installation, you will be asked to configure game
music and sounds to operate with your sound card. We recommend that
you choose the AUTODETECT option from the main menu. When you
have tested both music and sounds, select OK. You are now ready to
play Blood & Magic.

* If at any time you wish to reconfigure your music or sounds, change your DOS directory
to c:\intrplay\bam (or the directory where Blood & Magic is located), type
"SNDSETUP", then press <ENTER>.

Game Installation

and Setup

WINDOWS '95 INSTALLATION

1) Insert the Blood & Magic CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2) A menu will appear listing various installation and start-up options. Choose the

INSTALL BLOOD & MAGIC option, then follow the instructions. If you choose the
default settings which are offered to you, then Blood & Magic will be installed on to
your hard drive under the INTERPLAY folder. A partial installation requires 25MB of
hard drive space, and a full installation requires 225 MB.

To begin the game, either select the BAM ICON on your Windows
desktop, or remove the CD, then reinsert it, then choose the PLAY BAM
option. Blood & Magic runs in DOS-mode when started from Windows '95.

WINDOWS INSTALLATION (OTHER THAN '95)

1) Insert the Blood & Magic CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2) Blood & Magic will not install under Windows, so you must exit to

DOS. To do this, open the FILE menu, then select the EXIT WINDOWS
option. You should now see the C:\ prompt.

3) Follow the instructions outlined under DOS
INSTALLATION, beginning with Step 2. You must

always exit to DOS to play Blood & Magic.

6

Getting Started

To start the game from the DOS prompt, make

C:\INTRPLAY\BAM your current directory (or change
to the directory where Blood & Magic is located), type "BAM", then
press <ENTER>. To start the game under Windows '95, open the
INTERPLAY folder, then double-click on the Blood & Magic icon. You
will see a series of cinematic sequences, followed by the Main Menu.
You can bypass any cinematic in the game by pressing <ESC>.

MAIN MENU

SINGLE-PLAYER
Use this option to play against the computer. You can either choose a
preset story or create a customized character for a Random Campaign.

TWO-PLAYER
Use this option to begin a head-to-head game with a live opponent. This
game may be played over a network, via modem, or with a direct link
connection (see TWO-PLAYER GAME).

TUTORIAL
The tutorial is designed to teach new users the basics for playing Blood
& Magic.

CREDITS
Meet the sideshow ensemble who squandered their lives
in order to bring you this quality product.

REPLAY INTRO
Use this option to view the Blood & Magic
introduction.

LEAVE GAME
This returns you to either DOS or Windows,
depending on where you were when you started the
game.

7

Getting Started

SINGLE PLAYER MENU

LOAD GAME
This activates a screen which lists all of your saved games. You may
have up to ten simultaneously saved games. To load a game, select the
numbered button next to the corresponding save-name.

NEW STORY
This activates the Realm Map, which displays the region of the Forgotten
Realms where Blood & Magic takes place. Pass your cursor over the
Realm Map to view the available stories, then select on the map to begin
a story. Additional stories will be made available to you as you progress
in the game.

RANDOM CAMPAIGN
This option is made available when you complete all 5 stories. A
Legendary Campaign will take you through all of the maps in Blood &
Magic. You will create a customized character, then select a starting
location for your campaign. The sequence of maps, the setup for maps,
and the opponents whom you encounter are all randomly generated.

HALL OF LEGENDS
Use this option to enter the Hall of Legends, where the achievements of
your campaign characters are recorded in the annals of history.

8

Getting Started

TWO-PLAYER GAME

Select the Two-Player option from the Main Menu to begin a
head-to-head game with a live opponent. Once you make a connection
with your opponent, you can either customize your character or load a
previously created character from your Hall of Legends. All of your
multi-player characters will be ranked in the Hall of Legends. Following
character selection, you and your opponent will choose a domain for
your conflict on the Realm Map.

NETWORK GAME
You must have an appropriate NETBIOS or IPX protocol loaded (along
with corresponding low level device drivers) to play Blood & Magic
over a network. In addition, you should play Blood & Magic over the
same local network, without routers and bridges, so that information
packets pass more easily between systems. If you are uncertain about
your network configuration, then ask your network administrator for
assistance.

You can avoid conflicts between separate two-player games on the same
network by using a different socket number for each game. Both players
in each game should input identical socket numbers (between 0 and

16383) during the network game start-up menu.

MODEM GAME
We recommend that you use a modem capable of at least
9600 baud. To begin a head-to-head modem game, you
and your opponent must first decide who will place the
call and who will answer. Toggle your MODE under the
modem menu to match this decision.

Select the correct BAUD rate setting for your modem.
When you play Blood & Magic using modems with
different baud rates, both games operate at a speed
based upon the slower modem.

9

Getting Started

Select the COM/port and IRQ settings which correspond with
your modem and serial port configuration. Although we have arranged
for a default IRQ value to be set whenever you change the COM/port,
you may need to customize the IRQ setting to work with your system.

You may toggle the DIAL option to either TONE or PULSE to suit your
local telephone service.

If you are the player who will placed the call, then input the phone
number of your opponent in the PHONE prompt. Enter this number the
same way that you would dial it on your phone. You may also precede
the phone number with a Disable Call Waiting - usually *70 string or
other phone service options, each separated by a comma.

The SETUP option opens a sub-menu where you can customize your
CLEAR, INITIALIZATION and HANG UP strings. If you are uncertain
how these function, then operate with the DEFAULT settings. To learn
more about custom strings and phone service options, consult your
modem manual and contact your telephone service provider.

When you have configured all of these settings correctly, select the OK
option to make a connection with your opponent.

DIRECT LINK GAME

To play a direct link game, you must connect your
computer with your opponent's via the serial ports in the
back of your computers. You can do this using a serial
cable (no more than 30 ft in length) and a null modem

adapter (if your serial ports have different numbers of

pins), which can be purchased from your computer

hardware supplier. Once this connection has been
established, choose the DIRECT LINK option from the

TWO-PLAYER menu.

Both machines in a Direct Link game must be set to the

same BAUD rate. Although this rate can vary based

upon machine capabilities, we recommend that you set it

10

Getting Started

to at least 9600 baud. If you experience sluggish game

performance, then experiment with higher baud settings.

Select the COM/port and IRQ settings which correspond with your serial
port configuration. Although we have arranged for a default IRQ value to
be set whenever you change the COM/port, you may need to customize
the IRQ setting to work with your system.

When you have configured all of these settings correctly, select the OK
option to connect with your opponent.

Action Window or on any interface feature to learn more about it.
The Info Button and Tutorial provide excellent methods for becoming
familiar with Blood & Magic.

LEVEL MAP AND ACTION WINDOW

entire battlefield. As your followers explore this level,
more of the map is revealed. The green box on the Level
Map shows where the Action Window is currently centered.
To center the Action Window at a new location, either select
within the Level Map, scroll the window using your <Arrow

The Oracle Interface

COMMAND BAR / GIVING COMMANDS
Left-click on any Action Window subject to select it. It will become the
active subject in the Command Bar. If you select one of your own
followers, then command buttons will appear in the Command Bar.
Left-click on one of these command buttons, and then left-click a target
in the Action Window. Your follower will now execute that
command with regard to that target.

Examples:
Left-click your follower, then left-click the Move To button,
then left-click any location within the Action Window. Your
follower attempts to move to that target location. Left-click
your follower, then left-click the Attack button, then left-click
any creature within the Action Window. Your follower moves
to and attempts to attack that target creature.

You can also use commands on targets which appear on the Level Map.
This is useful for targeting a subject which is not currently shown in the
Action Window. As you will learn, some commands will not work in
combination with some targets. In addition, some skills and spells will not
work without mana. If you select a command button, then wish to exit
that mode (cancel the command), simply right-click or press <ESC>. This
method will cancel most any game mode or menu.

DEFAULT COMMANDS
You can quickly issue default commands to your
followers. To do this, left-click one of your own
followers, and then right-click on a target within the
Action Window. Your follower will execute the most
logical action with regard to that target.

13

The Oracle Interface

* MAC users can simulate a right-click by holding down the <SHIFT>
key while selecting with the Mouse.

REPEAT COMMAND
If you issue a command to one of your followers, and you want to
repeat that same command to others, then hold down the <CTRL> key
while left-clicking on the subsequent followers. They will attempt to
execute the same command with regard to the same target subject.

GROUP COMMANDS
To select a group of your followers, drag your mouse within the Action
Window while holding down left-click. A targeting frame will be drawn
which you can use to surround your followers. When you release the
left-click, all of your followers who are within the targeting frame will
be joined in a group. You can now issue a single command to every
member of the group.

MESSAGE WINDOW
The oracle will send you messages during the battle pertaining to
important events. These messages are spoken audibly and written in
the Message Window. Select the Go See button to center the Action
Window on the most recent message event. The Message Window is

also used to send and receive messages in a head-to-head

conflict.

Teachings of the Great

Mage

MANA
The fundamental resource in Blood & Magic is spell power, which we call
mana. This resource is used to create followers, to transform followers,
to cast spells, and to activate some items. When Basal Golems are not
moving or fighting, they revert to an obelisk form and generate mana.
To acquire this mana for your own use, select one of your Basal Golems
(that is in obelisk form), and then select the Transfer option.

THE BLOODFORGE
Your Bloodforge stores your mana supply, which can not exceed 300 at
any one time. Due to its magical nature, your Bloodforge slowly
generates its own mana. When you select your Bloodforge (the
swirling slab) within the Action Window, you are presented with a
Basal Golem option on the Command Bar. If there is no creature on
top of the Bloodforge, then you can use this option to create a Golem.
You can also revert a high level creature back into a Basal Golem by
moving it next to your Bloodforge, then choosing its Transform option.

THE MYSTICAL SITES
At the start of most levels, you will control a small number of mystical
sites. You may transform your Basal Golems into higher level creatures
when they are next to one of your sites. You can also fill a foundation
with Basal Golems, then transform them into a site of your choice.

Troubleshooting

* Check the README.TXT file on the Blood & Magic CD for
last-minute changes or other information regarding this product.

Q: Why won’t the game install on to my hard drive?

A: Make sure that you have sufficient space available on your hard
drive for the installation option you have selected. Check that you are
running the INSTALL program from your CD-ROM drive, and that the
Blood & Magic CD is in your drive. It is typically safest to choose the
default settings when you install a game like Blood & Magic.

Q: Why won’t the game load?

A: Make certain that you are in the correct DOS directory (usually
C:\INTRPLAY\BAM) when you enter the BAM command. As stated
under System Requirements, you need 8Mbs of memory to run the game.

Q: Do I need to configure EMS or XMS memory?

A: So long as you have at least 400Kb of available DOS memory, and
5Mb of available XMS, then you should run fine. To check both the
total and available memory of your system, enter MEM /C at the C:\
prompt.

Q: Will Blood & Magic run under Windows?

A: No, you must exit to DOS to run Blood & Magic
(see Game Installation and Setup for Window ‘95 exceptions).

Q: Why doesn’t the sound or music play?

A: Make sure that your speakers or headphones are plugged in to your
PC correctly, and that your speakers are switched on and have power.
When you finish setting up your sound during the installation routine
(we
recommend the AUTODETECT* option), test both sound effects and
music. If everything sounds okay, then select the OK option to save
your settings. If you ever need to reconfigure your sound or music,
change to the directory where Blood & Magic is located, then run the
SNDSETUP
program.

18

Troubleshooting

* If you run AUTODETECT more than once, then the program will assume that its first
choice was incorrect, and select a different sound card. This may result in an incorrect con­figuration. To remedy this, either continue to run AUTODETECT until the correct set­tings return, or manually configure your sound card.

Q: Will auto-detection of my sound card work in Windows '95?

A: Auto-detection of your sound card may be unreliable under
Windows'95. If you encounter problems using the AUTODETECT
function, and you are unable to configure your sound card settings
manually, then we recommend that you restart your computer in DOS
mode and try AUTODETECT again. To do this, click on START, then
choose SHUTDOWN, and then choose RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE.
If the option RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE is not available in your
SHUTDOWN menu, then it is likely that your computer does not have a
full version of DOS installed.

Q: Why doesn’t my mouse function correctly in the game?

A: You must have the correct mouse driver loaded before you run
Blood & Magic. The method for doing this can vary from one mouse
to the next, so you should consult your system documentation. If your
mouse is behaving erratically during the game, then contact the mouse
manufacturer and ask for an updated driver.

Q: Where can I get help beyond this
Troubleshooting section?

A: If you are experiencing a problem which is not addressed in either
the README.TXT file on the Blood & Magic CD or in this trou­bleshooting section, then
contact Interplay’s product support department (see Product Support).
