Bloody mess mod v1.1 (made for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky v1.504) by Detroit_Vigilanty

This mod takes What I consider the best of an old blood mod for SoC (Shadow of Chernobyl) Called HUD & Blood MOD v1.2 and Hades Real Gore Mod for CS v1.5.04. Neod's Less grenades mod was also included in this but separate from the acurracy changes he made.

I have only combined the three together because I liked the old blood effects I have for SoC and the new ones from Hades mod(Which unfortunatly was uploaded completely broken and was unplayable due to a missing Bloody_marks value). The accuracy of the grenade throwing by the AI was just insane so less of them is a fair balance.

Most of the credit is theirs.

-What this mod does-

This mod will make it so blood splatter will appear more often and more realistic. Also the blood splatter has longer range and works properly at short distance. Blood coming out of gunshot hits is better looking also.

In Vanilla when you shoot a person and they are in certain positions or too close to the ground (like a dead guy) no blood splatter will appear behind the gunshot wound. Shooting bodies under you will now produce a blood splatter under them and in the other tricky spots around edges such as a truck door or tire.

The Enemy AI grenade throwing is balance now since they still throw with great accuracy, but not as often as before.

the gameplay character_desc.xml files are Neod's work

The pfx textures and wm blooddrops are from Hades Real Gore mod 1.504 CS

The wm textures are pseudoant's from HUD & Blood MOD v1.2 SoC

The settings for blood splatters and distances in the system.ltx are the work of pseudoant and myself.

-INSTALLATION-

You dont need to start a new game for this mod.

If you havent done so already, you must change the fsgame.ltx file in Program FilesDeep SilverS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky folder so that the line with the gamedata value reads like this-

$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| --------right :)

$game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$| -------wrong :(

A. Install this way if you dont need to worry about compatability with other mods

-Copy all files from "gamedata" into..Program FilesDeep SilverS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Skygamedata

B. Install this way if you are using some other mod and dont want to overwrite the system.ltx file or any of the pfx and wm textures.

-Open your system.ltx file in the STALKERgamedataconfigs folder and edit the line that says [Bloody_Marks] and copy it to this - (this might look messy if your using notepad but its ok)

[bloody_marks]
wallmarks = wmwm_blood_1,wmwm_blood_2,wmwm_blood_3
dist = 7.0 ;2.0 ;2.4 ;(ì) max ðàññòîÿíèå îòëåòà êðîâè
max_size = 0.42 ;0.4 ;0.3 ;(ì)ðàäèóñ ïÿòíà ïðè õèòå ñèëîé nominal hit ïî áîëüøîìó îáúåêòó (ïî ìàëåíüêîìó *0.5)
min_size = 0.18 ;0.15 ;0.06 ;(ì)ìèíèìàëüíûé ðàäèóñ ïÿòíà
nominal_hit = 0.35 ;0.38 ;0.4 ;0.5 ;âåëè÷èíà íîìèíàëüíîãî õèòà, ïðè êîòîðîì ðàçëåòàåòñÿ ìàêñèìóì êðîâè (max_size)

(remember if you are using extra blood textures you need to add them in under the wallmarks value)

-Take the textures from the gamedatatextures folder that you want in your game.

c. If you dont want the less grenade throwing part of the mod just dont add the /configs/gameplay folder from this mod.

-Change from 1.0-

Added Neods Less grenades modification

Fixed a problem that I stupidly left in the .zip archive where the configs folder was misspelled "config".

Thats all.

Do what you will with this mod but if you change it and/or release it somewhere else you had better show credit to pseudoant, Hades, Neod and Me.

Im very solitary so dont contact me unless its important.
