[Client-Side] DRGunZ Blood SFX

[sirawesome]

BACK UP YOUR FILES!

I created this for our patch but it was removed last minute during beta testing because some people with low end computers were lagging from the effect. I am going to post the readme here since nobody ever seems to read the txt files posted with releases.

Installing
----------
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SFX.MRS  <-- Very Important!

Decompile your sfx.mrs with mrs.exe, replace ef_sworddam(01/02).elu inside sfx folder with the following 
provided in my blood sfx folder.

Replace the ef_sworddam(01/02).elu.ani in sfx folder with the following provided in my blood sfx folder.

Replace the swordglaze.elu and swordglaze.elu.ani with the following provided in my blood sfx folder.

Add sirawesome_(blank/gore1/gore2).bmp.dds from my blood sfx folder into the origonal sfx folder.

Compile your sfx folder and then remove the sfx folder from your "Daemons Ring GunZ" folder.

Play and have fun.




Description
-----------
Add's a blood effect to your slashes with melee weapons. Such as the dagger, kodochi, sword, or large sword.
This does not work with firearms. Blood effect may not indicate actual damage with high ping players due to lag.




How it works / Misc Notes
-------------------------
After trying all the elu's provided in gunz's SFX folder the closest possible elu to match a blood spray
was the ef_rocket_fire.elu, this blood effect is not perfect but It's the closest I have seen yet in gunz. 
the rocket fire elu uses three sprites that are randomly generated multiple times that fade out, to decrease
the amount of blood spray I have replaced two of the three sprites with a blank sprite that does not display.
The blood decal I drew is also at the bottom of the dds so that the blood is not 5 feet above the player.
With more trial and error with the dds files I'm sure it can be improved further.

Feel free to moddify this AS LONG AS YOU SHARE YOUR WORK! If someone can make a better blood effect that is
great! One more step further for the private gunz community. Just make sure you credit me if you moddify this.

If you wish to increase the amount of blood spray you are going to have to hex edit all of the files and replace sirawesome_blank.bmp with sirawesome_gore1.bmp or whatever you named your blood.bmp.


Here is a low quality video of what it looks like:

Also here are the original blood sprites I created to use with this, the current version provided in the zip is to reduce fps lag and correct some positioning but if you want to modify these be my guest.

[Kimartu]

[sexgirl]

very nice, thx

[MAXTRAXv3]

sfx has blood stuff in it before hand...just needs to be coded into gunz execute

[ThievingSix]

All of you stop arguing. Blood isn't an original idea, the first server to have it was BB Gunz years ago..

[sirawesome]

I'm not claiming anything new, I'm just releasing something for other servers to use that isn't going to make the walls bleed.

Besides, those that invent something first never release. So if anyone else wants to use that feature it has to be reinvented/rediscovered.

awsome release 10/10

Your the last person that my post pertained to, I'm talking about all the people who are arguing about this.

[sirawesome]

Sorry I misunderstood, my apologizes.

On a side note like the title says this is a client side modification, this effect can be used on any server that allows you to modify the sfx.mrs or does not have server/client synchronization. This is pretty much common knowledge but for those of you that have no idea whats going on I thought I'd clear that up for you.

[Psylithium]

Nice share.

[Dr. Wet Pants]

This is a new idea making blood :-}.

[Yupdead]

When I placed everything in it shows white stuff when hitting a player. (I am trying to get it work on my own server and not with DRgunz. Will that work?

[sari4ever]

good job its lag like the hell :( but still good
im wodering can you make blood scale bit smaller?

[Itachi6972]

It looks more like the mist from blood town rather than actual blood.

[Kingston]

umm. i tryed it on my server :p looks sick

All of you stop arguing. Blood isn't an original idea, the first server to have it was BB Gunz years ago..

Yeah sure, now BB has all the original ideas and all other servers can't have it because BB had it first.
Well who cares, BB is dead and it will remain like that, untill ROA gets over his pride, which he wont.

It's only 1 : 10 of the users that will get lagg.

[sirawesome]

Sure they can have it. But they aren't the first, it isn't original. That was what ThievingSix pointed out.

Like I said before, people create something cool and they do not release it because they want to be better then everyone else. Which forces people like me to reinvent the wheel because no one will share the plans. Also I'm tired of hearing about this evilgamers and brittle bullet bullshit on this and other forums. This is what I have to say on both subjects because every time I make these comments some admin deletes them.

@BB: Nothing against BB this is mostly for there fanboys, now T6 and others don't take this personally because I loved BB but to be honest they never got blood to work properly. From what I remember they removed it last minute because when they shot at the walls the walls started bleeding which is why there was no blood effect when they released publicly, thus I do not consider them the first to implement it.

@EG: I checked there forums and not a word was said about blood effects. Now with there recent patch released almost a month ago shows they have a "blood" effect which is really just the original purple slash colored red. While me on the other hand I have videos dating back to early february (http://www.y o u t u b e.com/watch?v=Kz-Ub1CWxN4) of me experimenting with a blood effect. Hopefully this message will stop all those mother fuckers that keep saying I stole this from evilgamers because there too stupid to realize my blood effect obviously contains 3 elu's, 3 ani's, and 3 dds files as opposed to there one recolored gd_effect_004.bmp.dds


And honestly people use you heads. You think blood is a unique idea that could only be thought up by the godly developers at brittle bullet? Almost every single online shooter has blood in it, it's not a unique idea and everyone has seen the unused gore effects in the sfx.mrs file.
