Smoke and Blood Mod Thread (Last Update: 28.02.10 - Blood Mod for NTW ;) )

[Mauser89]

Alright I just ask questions than.
Where did you save it to?
Whats the final part of the name when you download it, like .rar or .pack?

After you download it, you open it with winrar or something similar, and you should have a file that ends in .pack that goes into the data folder.

You Rock Mech_DONald, You're the DON! G'night!

Great work, the blood mod is a major improvement!
But is it possible to have blood stained bayonets? And blood- and dirt-covered soldiers, like the good Medieval 2? I really hope it is possible to bring that back!!

I want blood! I want to bathe in their blood! I want to bathe in their blood for a week! Now... kill them all!! ("sanguinary" trait)

ok i downloaded the mod put it in my data folder and it still aint working..What am i doing wrong? it doesnt download as a zipped folder so i download it straight to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\data.....but idk what to do after that

[Hms-Clan]

It appears we have the same problem sir, if your impatient I suggest slowly dieing like me.
It doesn`t appear as a zipper for me either.

Who ever has it working could you please post a picture of what the mod files actually look like with names and everything in the final data folder.

1.) Download Winrar (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm - select the appropriate language)

2.) Open the downloaded .rar file using Winrar (which also opens .zips and many others)



3.) I'm using the light version, but even if you use the full it's all the same. Select the .pack file in the winrar window.

4.) Click .

5.) Navigate to the Empire:Total War folder and click on the data subfolder:



6.) Click 'OK', select 'Yes To All' if you get that box pop up (i.e you have an older version of the mod. If you DO have an older version and that box doesn't pop up, you will have to navigate to the 'Data' folder yourself and manually delete the old version)

7.) Have a cigarette/cup of tea/glass of wine/bottle of beer/go to the toilet - whatever, either way that's it.

I love you.

thanks you so much

ok i have heard about stuff like you cant download patches to game if you have mods. so what do i do when they realease the next patch? i have backed up files too

[Hun Birodalom]

Easy to install and works great though be prepared for slower performance. I really the music mod, it's much more clear and louder than the original settings. Overall, a very useful mod and great for adding a little extra your empire experience.

[Chevalier IX]

an absolutely superb job once again,and the new blood texture is absolutely awesome,adds something deeper and more visceral to he experience of the firefight

Patches will still download properly if you use mods that are packed as "patch" pack files.

Again, excellent work with the fife and drums, just one little problem. Is it me or do different units play different tunes? It gets very noisy and confusing when you're moving like ten line infantry all playing different tunes. Is there any way to force them to pick one tune and stick to it the whole battle?

I guess the easiest way is to change all the music files into the same one, but is there any other way?

[MrMT]

Very much looking forward to this. This thread should be stickied!

[PrimerX]

Awesome job!!!!

The community and their creativity is a good part of the reason I buy these games. The game will be epic in no time!

[Aykis16]

Another awesome update. Battlefield is so much more vibrant now. If only you could fix the AI in the next update

[Baleur]

I LOVE THIS MOD
I have to use the Light version though, since the normal one is just both too excessive (smoke everywhere for 5min after just one volley) for my taste, and bogs down my 8800gts. So i hope the Light version will always be 100% up to date with the full one
And yeah as others have said, try to get blood when enemies are killed by Melee as well
Or perhaps if you can change it so the blood effect triggers on death, then it'd work with any cause of death lol

I agree with Teodosio. But you've done extremely great job so far, thank you !
