Hi,
I'm stuck in the 2nd level of the user-made Sin episode.
I can't find the first key.
I found the rocket launcher though.
There is a courtyard with a door that says "locked", is this where I'm supposed to go, and how? Or, where is the first key?
If anybody could help that would be nice

Well, this is embarrassing.
Artists tend to resent their older work and that seems to extend to Blood Mapedit too. Would you believe I cannot remember?
Consider this a bump - somebody help this subject!

Actually I figured it out : you have to jump through the window of the screenshot into the tower in front of it.
Now I'm in my map 4 however I get a graphical glitch : some textures don't show up at all! Any idea why? I'm using the Dosbox version of Blood and all the tiles files are in the directory itself, is that normal?

Yes. That is through a fault of my foolish younger design. One needs the textures of the Bloodlines user addon applied to view things correctly. I'd recommend backing up all your tile files and then restoring them once you've completed the map.
An awful design choice, I know, but Sin was all about experimentation and it was about eight years ago or something.
Edit: Of course the map is probably quite functional without the textures, so if you don't feel like messing with files, you can continue as is.
Edit2: Just remembered it uses the sounds a bit as well. Would probably be best to just apply the whole of Bloodlines to your folder and revert back afterwards.
Sorry about that.

Where can I download it?
Where can I find websites that are like repositorys of Blood usermaps and episodes?
Thanks
Also talking back to the first post, funny how I took a picture of exactly where I had to go ! It's like I knew it had to be there.

Thanks for the links, Blood seems to have more quality user content than I thought!
