@Mr_PaRk1NsOnS@Bravercoolio Hey don't mean to keep pinging you but I managed to figure it out!
First of all - my apologies, I actually have a different mod installed (Realistic Blood and Decals [REMASTERED]) and I thought you were the creator.
Anyway here are the steps I took to make it so there is blood all over the enemy when you hit them in a fist fight [ Keep in mind this setup works for that other mod, I did not test it out in yours but I assume it should work the same]:
1) Open up OpenIV
2) Turn On Edit Mode
3) go to /mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/effects/
4) Right Click and Edit [bloodfx.dat]
Okay this parts a bit tricky but bear with me here:
You will see 4 tables
1) BLOODFX_TABLE_ALIVE
2) BLOODFX_TABLE_DEAD
3) BLOODFX_TABLE_ALIVE_MP
4) BLOODFX_TABLE_DEAD_MP
I believe 1 & 2 refer to standard peds that we love to beat up and i think 3 & 4 refer to our custom MP peds that we play online. Note that you CAN play the MP players offline in single player mode. You can use a trainer like Menyoo.
Okay so I noticed that the blood mod I'm using (Realistic Blood and Decals [REMASTERED]) only puts blood on people's face when we do a fist fight. You will see that there are a bunch of 0s in these 4 tables at the start. You will only see like HEAD, NECK, SPINE 3 have any numbers.
Pay attention to the HEAD number. I think if we just copy this value into the other areas of the body (BUTTOCKS, FOOT_LEFT etc.) then those areas will also have blood applied just like on the face.
Here is what the tables should look like when you replace the 0s [ Note - in the last 2 tables, HEAD was set to like 562 ( I ignored that and just kept the same values as the first 2 tables)
---------------------------------------
BLOODFX_TABLE_ALIVE_START
@Bravercoolio Awesome, I'll take a look at it and start tweaking away. Thanks for the help, I'll make a other comment if I ever figure out how to get it done.
@Bravercoolio First of all thank you for your time working on this mod, it's really well done. I really like the blood effect when you hit there face in combat.
Second I agree with Mr_PaRk1NsOns, I was hoping to be able to bruise my opponents arms / legs / torso etc during a fist fight.
Doesn't even need to be bruising it could be the same blood effect you did for the face which again looks amazing!
Is there any way we could tamper with these files and enable this? I've tried to pick it apart by looking at the peddamage XML in the commons folder but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
If you could give us any insight on how to do it ourselves that'd be very much appreciated, I know you're probably really busy so I don't want to just ask for a feature without at least trying it on my own first. Thank you 🙂
