blood mod?

**Dog Fart** · March 01, 2009, 07:13 PM

I remember a very long time ago, somebody made a blood mod. I can't remember how it worked though. I was released shortly after RTW was made. Dose anyone know about this?

That's something I'd be interested in, but I've never heard of it.

I could understand how they'd put it into the game, but other than that, I have never heard of it either until you made this thread. It never happened, however. Here's a link to the thread I think you're referring to. At least one of them. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...=10385&page=38

Apparently it was abandoned due to technical difficulties... So its a no go. I heard about it a ways back but never looked into it... Would've been cool.

I LOVE BLOOD

If our guys can glow when they gain experience, why can't we soak them in blood? Our modders have come a long way since then. I'm sure we can pull this off some how. I'd be happy to replace froofy sparkles for blood and gore.

lets make a HORROR total war.

butchers plz!

You just got me intrigued. I feel like taking a break from RL™ for this special feature...

**Dog Fart** · March 02, 2009, 12:30 PM

KILLER!!! I know we'll have blood now!

**RedFox** · March 02, 2009, 01:15 PM

Doesn't look that promising to be honest..

can unit sprites of dead soldiers get a change of sprite so they are covered with blood at least?

**CaesarVincens** · March 02, 2009, 07:04 PM

Sure, but all their sprites will be covered in blood then.

Not to mention the fact that you would need to create new, temporary skins for every unit you want blood for.

Well then that would make it impossible then.

Other point, that would not be difficult. If they could be seperate from their alive counterparts, then you'd just have to run a red paint sprayer over the ones that are already in teh game and voila.

Yeah, unfortunately there is just the one sprite.

And I wasn't saying it would be hard to make new skins, just time-consuming.

It would be much more reasonable to have various permutations of overlay texture layers that get blended in over the main texture. Unfortunately RTW does not support such a feature and thus it is impossible.

**Dog Fart** · March 03, 2009, 12:00 AM

Damn.

**RedFox** · March 03, 2009, 01:54 AM

It would require a quite experienced reverse-engineering programmer to build new priority modules that add new features to RTW. Unfortunately I don't have much experience in that field.
