Extracting it into your Vanilla main folder will do the trick as well. If you are using the file first switch. Which you are. Side effect: will work for all the other mods a swell (yeah, if they have the file first switch).

Nearly forgot: it will not do a thing if you are not running on shader 2. But then you can see the blood splash under spectacular sunsets.

In my opinion in ziher Blood retexture blood more bloody and interesting.

I love the skies, thanks socal for making it happen for pder!

Anyone else, please see if you can answer some of my queries, and help me out. Anyone whose played with this blood mod in pder, either alone or in combination with other similar mods, could probably help me greatly.

The blood is a little lacking, and I'm not a blood n' guts aficionado per se. But I'm looking for at least a realistic experience with that.

1. Can I keep these skies, but get more blood somehow? I guess I like the blood patterns enough, but couldn't they (the units) get a little more than a few specs before they die? Is there a low upward limit to the blood specs they can collect in this blood mod? I'm playing with shader version 2 with a 256mg nvidia 6500 thats balanced for graphical effects, but with shadows in in the in-game settings themselves on low (but still on), since my cpu is only 2.1ghz.

2. Should I see blood clouds/puffs/mists from weapon blows during hand to hand combat as well as from arrows?, in this version or vanilla?, or is there a mod that does this? I'd really like to get those blood puffs or cloudy spirts goin - it seems like a simple matter of basic realism. Please help me especially on this one! It would seem that it would be pretty easy to get this done if it hasn't been!

3. I'm about to switch over to real combat - at some point before I was using lusteds balancing that gave more 'mental' points to all units, so that they fought longer and the front lines really,realistically, bloodied each other up and units didn't break within 15 seconds all willy-nilly (if i want fast battles, or am impatient, i'll run the battle on 6x!!). I will experiment and post questions/comments on that thread.

Yes, the balancing worked.

I saw how to keep the skies but use someone else's blood mod.

In combination with the realcombat, things got very very bloody, but this is also because of the blood mod.

** I still would like to know how to get the blood clouds/puffs/mist from hand to hand combat.
