Slashas Unlimited decals and blood!

[AwesomeAustin]

I have tried out the unlimited blood file, and it doesn't seem to work for me. Blood splatter still disappears rather quickly. Am i doing something wrong?

[Denco]

Same here the blood still disappears.

[ToonTotalWar]

Blood will only remain on ground if the file format is set to "Movie" type

[Slashas]

Nice mate, Can i request permission to add this mod into my "All IN One" mod?

Of course Toon! Go ahead!

Well I just tried to make a simple Pack File containing better Blood Re-Textures I just made.
Problem is in game I tried to test through a custom battle, I could not see a difference.

So I re-coloured the blood to neon-blue just to be safe, tested and blood still red. Seems
like I missed something or we're just not allowed to mod the Blood Textures yet.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[Slashas]

Slashas, can you explain in more detail how the Blood works, i.e. how it is mapped on the surfaces.

After looking at the blood effects there are two things I'm hoping a modder can fix:

1) Make the blood colour darker, darker than crimson, close to black.

2) Make the blood map on objects more like, for a lack of a better description, large blobs,
instead of the light spray that is too common at the moment.

I hope all that made sense

The surface blood is works as rigid.model that is post processed via a vfx file. In that file the length of a rigid_model can be changed. Also you can change size differences, how many rigids that will appear etc. Tough not all effects has a rigid connected to it. Some are pure effects, so the color of spurting blood should be changeable, I dont know about the surface blood as it is a model. But I'll check it out and report what I find!
As for your second question, I think that is moddable, also in the vfx files. Hopefully that is not made in the encrypted fxc-files!

Yep I've re-textured all dds files that are in the vfx folder and also another folder in the variant_models tree. I see no change on the battle map.
As a definite test, I re-coloured to neon-blue like I said in my previous post, yet in-game it's still all red

EDIT: Another thing I noticed which was unusual, is that the files ending with _diffuse are in an Interpolated Alpha state. I wonder, if I change it
to the most basic form... back to testing lol

What format did you put the mod as?

[Kaziel]

What format did you put the mod as?

As usual in MOD format I think.

[Slashas]

As usual in MOD format I think.

Try it as movie!

[Kaziel]

Try it as movie!

Ok I just tested with _Diffuse files in the most basic format. Game crashed hahaha!

Will revert and try in Movie format. But I thought Movie Formats are obsolete and won't work with
the new Mod Managers. I read that somewhere on this website a while ago.

EDIT: Right so Blue Blood DDS files still don't show up in game even if the Pack file is set in
Movie Format. I give up for now, I want to have some game time after such heavy modding!
Thanks for trying to help me

[Slashas]

movie format do not work with mod managers, but it will always load as long as it's in the data folder. My mods wont work in mod format, so maybe putting yours in movie will make it work!

[PunitorMaximus]

for me too, blood keeps on disappearing...i added it by myself to another mod. the mod worked, but the blood disappeared.
so your code seems to not work.
anyways, great idea, i hope you'll fix this soon

[Slashas]

Seems very weird! I'll check it out! It is working for me!

[PunitorMaximus]

yep, that'd be awesome

[Slashas]

yep, that'd be awesome

Are you using any other mods?

[Maximus183]

Everything's working fine for me. Awesome job on this, it really makes an aftermath look much more immersive and generally badass.

[Dreamcatcher]

Nice work, thanks !

[Jinx1337]

Is this mod still updated? I would love to see it for the Emperor's Edition.

[Slashas]

Seems download link dosen't work So I'll update it anyway
