Description             : After two HD failures (one was defective the other I bought had CRC errors) We 			  finally a new version.

			  Based on the original "Blood" game by Monolith Productions.
			  It was an atmospheric, innovative, extremely creative game by Monolith.
			  It could have lived forever on modern systems if it's source code
			  had not been lost.

			  The original game is now classified as abandonware and you can get it
			  at the standard abandonware sites. Do a search for "Blood Abandonware"
			  and you should find a free, full copy of the original game.

			  If you have Windows XP, you'll have some trouble with the original
			  Blood. However you can get it running -with sound and high resolution- if
			  you visit this site and do what it says.
			  http://buildxp.deathmask.net/

			  One more thing - If sound is garbled coming out of your system after
			  doing all that, try using 22050khz for the sound in Blood's setup.exe, like me.

			  Try to spread word about Blood and tout it's greatnessessssess so
			  somehow, somewhere, someone will create a worthy sequel to the original
			  masterpiece.

			  Personally I (Doorhenge) believe the sequel -Blood 2: the Chosen- was not
			  very good at all. Run and gun through office complexes? - sheesh!
			  Not to mention the buggy engine.

			  Also try out the Quake 1 remake of Blood.
			  http://www.transfusion-game.com/
			  Single player was never done unfortunately, but it is worth a look.

			  The goal for this wad, was for me (Doorhenge) to be able to play Blood online.
			  I'm loyal to Zdaemon despite Skulltag.
			  If there is any modification suggested to this wad that screws
			  with that goal, then I'm not gonna implement it. 

Additional Credits to   : Id Software, Monolith Productions for graphic and sound resources.
			  We ripped and converted everything from the
 			  original .art files.  It is free for anyone to use.  It was a
 			  little bit of work converting the enemies, so if you want to give
 			  us credit for that, you can.  We would never demand credit for
 			  simply converting artwork that we didn't create to a different
 			  palette.

			  If you have the Blood CD you can listen to the CD tracks
			  while playing the game. It should be noted if you have other
			  CDs in the CD drive it'll play those too.

			  Maxim Genis "DooMJedi" for the HUD face sprites.

			  Chaoscorps for Thompson sprites.

			  DeusExMachina for suggesting the transfer heights trick.

			  Ajapted and Graf_Zahl for help with WhackEd2.

			  Dynamite dehacked modified from work by Don Tello, and even
 			  further modified by Doorhenge.
			  (I strongly suggest NOT messing with the dynamite before
		  	  experimenting with it!) Also try turning off autoaim.

Story:			  After your victory over the dark god Tchernobog, you finally return
			  to your grave for a little R&D - rest and decomposition. It has
			  been nearly a year since your encounter at the Hall of Epiphany,
			  but you seem troubled. Somehow it was too easy to dispose of the
			  dark lord. It's almost as though he wanted you to beat him. 

			  Suddenly you stir.

			  In your mind you can hear your once master laughing,
			  his voice taunting you. You can then take it no longer and
			  decide to awaken once again and confront the Cabal.
