How to increase blood and gibs?

Anonymous | 2011-10-01 23:44

I was looking for a way to increase the gore in saurbraten, from what I heard blood can only go up to 1 and that to get it any higher I would have to edit the actual code problem is I have no idea where the specific line of code is if any one could lead me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

I think you would do better if you explained better what you want??

if you want more blood look for the blood *.jpg or *.tga (i dont remember where it is or what it is called but its some where in packages, probably in textures. For gibs there is some model some were in packages/models that is what is replaced with the pmodel (player model) when a persons health goes below or at 0. But if you are more descriptive of what exactly you would like to change about the blood and gibs I could be better at pointing you in the correct direction.

P.S. If you no anything about coding start at fps.cpp::dodamage() and then work your way around till you find out how some one switches from CS_ALIVE (health greater than 0) to CS_DEAD (health at or below 0). Which happens in dodamage() i do believe, and there is some function thats run to swap the model out for the gib model and blood added etc. So thats where you should probably change shit ;p

NOTE: dodamage() is started by the actor (shooter) and then the victim (the one that got shot) is told to take the damage (and also the server is told if it is mp [muliplayer]). The terms that i used are those used in the code and if u mess these up you may have blood pouring out of the actor when he hits something 0.0

What I would like to do is increase the amount of blood so if i shot someone instead of 5 blood splatters it would pour out allover "I have already integrated the improved blood texture"
also I would like to see if it is possible to make it so it does not disappear and stick to walls
so basically im trying to make it more graphic and more realistic
ps. I do know how to code in C & C++ "a little"

There was a variable for that in-game, I don't remember it tho, BRB *looking for that var*
Can't find it. Looks like it has been removed, but I could swear there was such variable before.

Remember, the average adult human only has about 5 quarts of blood. ;)

Huh? :P Where do you see humans in Sauerbraten? :P

And the average adult ogro has even less!

To make blood stick to walls, I think you need to enable the "decals" option, prefer "slow fade".
Amount of gibs is damage-based, no gibs are shown if blood itself is disabled. I'm pretty sure there's somewhere a variable to change intensity in the code.

Also, most IDEs and some text editors allow one to search in several files of a folder, like searching "blood" in all the source files. ;)

i think what he is saying about the blood is that the blood never disappears (until the map change). Personally that's a memory nightmare but ...

What your gonna look for is decals (as mentioned above) in the scr. If it was written correctly it should be a node (something like a ent or mmodel). More or less it probably has a cool down time (time till it disappears) make that time infinate (or 15 mins; the length of the longest game :p). Another thing you could try if u find out that your computer starts to chug (cuz u have 1,000s of blood nodes on a map) is check to see if the blood is rendering (aka the client is looking at it) and if it is not then remove that node. Then instead of having a cooldown time have a max count (like halo does with bodies).

PS: you could do the same with the dead bodies ;p
