A question about blood effect

[Lord Samuel]

Hey guys

Some weeks ago, I found a nice txt tweak to improve (i.e increase) the gore effect in battle.

Since then, I get these awesome and very picturesque bloody kills:

Spoiler

Now, someone asked me about the screenshot...

My problem is that I forgot what tweak it was, and I can't find my source anymore.
Someone was giving advice on how to get a better blood effect
Could'nt find it back in the MageLord thread, so I figured I saw it here...?

Anyone knows where this thread is?


Anyway, I compared my Native files to my Modified files in NE. Changes are noticeable.

In your opinion, does this suffice to do the trick, as pictured above?

Oh, and "blood_multiplier = 2.0" in both module.INI files.


Thanks to you for taking the time to read this.

With the text editing system

If I got this right is it the two red colored numbers that defines the size of the blood... SO o messing with those would give the effect of more blood [EDIT: sry. I was wrong they define the number of particles. So they will give the effect more thickness I think. Which is inportant if you want a big blood splash]. And also the blood_multiplier caps at 10.0

Here are two examples that Ruthven made enjoy.

With the module system

Then if you use the module system. Do I think that this one is even more bloody

Spoiler: I guess this will bloody it up

Hey, Im actually looking for the same particle_system config and cant find it anyone know what mod it was?

What are you talking about? Do you mean where are the particles defined in the module system/text files?
