You want blood? Fine... have some.

[shankspony]

and it's not pink either!
The texture effects are located in ...\mods\bf2\Objects_server.zip\Effects\impacts\bh its\small\...
The 3 files are:
e_bhit_s_sold_bodyarmor.tweak
e_bhit_s_sold_head.tweak
e_bhit_s_sold_limb.tweak
The line in each file to replace is:
ObjectTemplate.textureName objects\effects\textures\animated\Anim_smoke2
Replace "Anim_smoke2" with "anim_blood" which is found in:
...\mods\bf2\Objects_client.zip\Effects\Textures\b lood\...
so the line wyou edit will look like this:
objects\effects\textures\blood\anim_blood
I personally only use it in the head and limb file... body armor doesn't bleed right? :P
(I use WinRAR so this is terribly easy - I dunno about WinZIP)
Extract the files you wish to edit... edit in your favorite text editor.
Add the files back into the .zip file (I don't know about the level of compression support for these zips...)
Winrar's normal compression setting works perfectly. I do not know however if this will screw with PunkBuster.
I'm using it for a mod... so experiment at your own risk.
I haven't seen this elsewhere... am I the first? God I hope not... I just bumped into it.

Enjoy!

haha, nice gun :D

[DuctApe66]

LOL - a little mods for my SP mode ;)

[CyRuS*]

Does it only work in SP then? cuz i tried it on my box earlier and it didnt work, unless i did something wrong? :s

[shankspony]

it is possible that client and server must have same modifications... if you put it on your server... and did not have it on client... and it did not work then this may be the case. In fact I would bet it is not a server side mod then.

Actually someone pointed this out on planet battlefield... I forgot to add the anim_blood on the end of the new path...

"objects\effects\textures\blood\anim_blood"

Hey, do you think the ESRB will revoke the 'teen' rating for this game and make it Mature because of the hidden 'blood code' that was included with this game?

I smell hints of GTA: San Andreas already... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

never owned a mega-drive/genesis?

[CyRuS*]

Well it's on my server settings if you wanna test it out

217.146.91.195:16567 (UK SERVER)

[toffa_h]

so let me get this straight, if we do this we will only be able to play single player or on the server cyrus just posted. what if we want to play on normal ranked servers, do we have to undo all of the changes, manually switch it back to anim_smoke2?

Who cares who needs blood in games. It just brings ESRB on your *** and then your all a bunch of mogos.

[Djuice]

lmao

i hear nut butter is salty

[John-Paul]

What am I doing wrong?

I'm new to modding and any time I try to implement these changes so that I can play single-player with blood, the game won't start. At the point where the EA "Challenge Everything" logo would ordinarily appear, I'm actually sent right back to the desktop.

Evidently, I'm doing something wrong, so ... what have I missed? Something crucial, it would seem.

[Djuice]

wow, you crashes before even loading a map, definitely something you did wrong

[Zet]

lol it's nice made it too, but you can't join a online server with it :(
