B Native Other Blood enhancement tweak v0.5

[neil_v]

I am using tweak 3 in Vikingr. Looks very nice

But can you explain to me how the direction is determined? Is it random?
Sometimes the blood sprays in the direction the hit came from, sometimes it goes in the samg direction as the swing.

I not even sure which way is more accurate. Damn, where is Dexter when i need him

I'm not capable of dismemberment... but there is someone who is

Very entertaining

Vikingr has decapitions too.

As for singleplayer, think Brytenwalda has them as well

The direction of the emitted particles is determined by  the last relative position of the object doing the hitting

Like such:
-Towards/away from the object that is hitting
-Left/Right of object that is hitting
-Up/Down of the object that is hitting

There are some variables that randomize a few particle properties to make it more natural.

There is a more detailed explanation on the first post near the bottom.

Hey Neil_v i got a tweak for ya.

Ive used it since Warband came out its pretty neat.

Hopefully I will get to try this soon. Who made it?

I've been using this for a few months now. I love it but for some reason, half the time, the blood is green. Any ideas what causes this?

Wow... No clue, never happened to me, and no one else has mentioned anything.

1) What tweak are you using?
2) Regular mount and blade, or War band?
3) Any other mods simultaneously?

I did edit the colour channels in some cases. Maybe I buggerd around with the colour channel, forgot, and compiled a tweak.

----Edit-----

Looking at the tweaks, I can see some things with the colour channels that might be causing problems...
But Half the time!? What the faak!

Sorry, for late reply.

I took out the blood mod but I was using tweak 4 I believe. The blood may have been green most of the time. I honestly don't remember. I do know it wasn't 100% though because everything was fine at first. Its a very dark green, almost black. And this is for Warband CRPG mod. I thought it could be my vid card acting weird but since removing the pack, everything went back to normal. So I have no idea.

Edit: I tried tweak 5 and so far everything seems fine.

I made it Neil but not told anyone about it but since you made a thread about them then you can use it

As I haven't really been active in the community for a while, it would be awesome if you made your own thread with your own blood tweaks (heck, you can use mine as well). I don't have time to do modding stuff anymore (even the dirt simple blood tweak stuff). Variety is always welcome in the modding community, and I would love it if someone would take over, and improve the whole blood tweak thing.

@ kung fu jesus
It might be because I upped the colour channel values to 0.9 which would make it darker, and I might have thrown the whole thing out of balance. I'm glad tweak 5 is working for now, hopefully it continues working.

(0.1, 0.9), (1, 0.9),      #red keys                        <- might be the problem, (0.1, 0.7), (1, 0.7) might be the solution
    (0.1, 0.7), (1, 0.7),      #green keys
    (0.1, 0.7), (1, 0.7),      #blue keys

@neil
You dont have to pass it over, just leave the thread up and just put a note at the beginning of the thread saying your to busy to do any more tweaks and you will be leaving for a while. I cant carry it on because im busy aswell, ive got an apprenticeship and a weekend job i dont have much time to play m&b let alone mod it.

 

[neil_v]

Well, i'll put up anyone's tweaks giving credit where credit is due.
I'll put yours on the first post, so others can enjoy its glory..

 

[mr.playa]

hi
you just made my day
is this works fot the latest version of warband

 

[neil_v]

It definitely works with the latest version.   

 

[Lars the Warden]

Hi, does this mod work with warband 1.143?
Thx in advance


Cheers

 

[neil_v]

Yep!... the particle file doesn't change much.

Good thing I looked through the answers before posting the blood was goddamn green! I'm also using Tweak 4, so I guess it's some strange problem with the tweak.

 

[neil_v]

I've still not encountered that problem... I'll have a look at the code...

change the bold text to:

thats the only thing I can think would make a difference.

here is the changed code, paste over the old in particle txt :

Alright, so I've tried tweak 3. Works nicely, but very little blood sprays (bugs me off, lol) and after using it for a time I THINK I saw green blood again. Feels bad since I don't have backups.

 

[Devil Keyz]

^^ is the green/blacc blood happening at dark time only? if so i think its probally due to playing on low settings

 

[Kramer]

Does this work with the Diplomacy mod ?

 

[bojan811]

Yes it does.

 

[neil_v]

I have no fix for the green blood 
I've played Warband using my blood tweaks since a few months after Warbands release, and
I have yet to encounter green blood. Sorry guys.

Hello, firstly this is a fantastic mod and secondly combined with these textures http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=2139 makes it awesome, but you don't happen to know how to make the blood on the characters a higher resolution?

Thanks! I'm really glad you played around with it and looked for other textures to betterifacate it to your needs. The textures are set sizes as far as I know, but you can make your own larger textures and find out. You will need a plugin for for Photoshop from nvidia to read the texture files, but its not hard to track down. You might be able to make some changes in the python files to adjust the allowed texture sizes, but it has been so long I cannot remember.

Not to necro (I hate doing that, but I just rediscovered this), but I LOVE THIS! If you take all the blood enhancement tweaks and paste the code lines over and over (basically, make about 9 game_blood entries), you can make a real prank. Granted...they take alot of FPS, but I was able to make a blood mod for my little brother by making the blood literally explode in all directions from the player.
