BloodBath - Emphasizing Scourge, and, a tribute to Sam Peckinpah

Post by RebBugler »

Originally named MoreBlood, then BloodSpray, and then, after witnessing a very intense melee and some big gun blasts into the lines, went with BloodBath. Really should name it the Peckinpah Effect, cause it is definitely overkill.

Guess I explained it enough...heh heh heh

Although a rather large DL, this mod consists only of modified Death sprites, so there will be no performance hit at all. Both Hi and Low Resolution Infantry sprites are included. This will conflict with other blood mods with altered Death sprites.

Enjoy...if graphic violence entertains you. :evil:

There is too much violence in this game. Can't we all just get along? :P

I will not be satisfied until I see dismembered body parts flying through the air as a result of artillery fire and a red mist hovering in the area! :evil:

Working on it, but that's much tougher going, it'll need new sprites more than likely...
I did include a gusher :evil: , but it happens so fast it's hardly noticeable. More to come, by gory golly, don't want to let the amish down, or Peckinpah. ;)

Good stuff Reb. This pretty much makes my Blood Splatter Mod obsolete. You took what I did and made it much better. :)

That's cool though.. That just means I'll need to make the dismemberment mod... :laugh:

Add the "Screams of Agony" mod to that if you haven't done that already in your other sound mods. :evil:

That's most gracious Sir. :)

And, bring on the dismemberment competition, but I think we need the sprite gurus for this.

Still, the blood splatter/spray thing could still see much improvement, and best done also by the gurus. The spray needs to be setup as an individual sprite, and then rendered so that it goes from high to low and dense to sparce as the frames progress. Then layer it on the Death sprites.
