Help In Adding Blood Please

[FVxSF 0]

Yes I did do a search, and yes I followed the advice and tips of others. There's just one little problem. I'm missing some files to create the blood, or I can't find them.

I was reading some posts in the BF2 threads about tweaking the tweak files to add blood but I'm not finding those files in 2142. For an example, I can't find "e_bhit_s_sold_head.con/tweak" in my effects folder.

I figure a sniper deserves the visual sensation of a blood mist after pulling a head shot.

Getting the blood to show after a bullet impact is my main goal and my second. Is there a way to add a blood trail on the ground?

Thanks

hey, i am on my way to the hospital because my best friend's dad had a heart attack, but I have to ask a stupid question. Did you check both effects files? There are two of them. One server one client. I apologize if it's a stupid question.

Well shit man! I hope your friend's dad is all right.

And yeah, I looked in both Server archives... nothing. I know the is collision reaction because if you shoot a soldier in the head he seems to smack his face. But I never see any kind of dust that shows up when you shoot them.

I can't help much with BF2142 but there should be a file in the materials section where the collision effects are coded.

By finding the collision cells for projectiles <> human you should at least know what effects are played for those impacts.

In BF2 the material properties can be found in /common/material/materialmanagerdefine.con ( in the common_server.zip )

and the cells are defined in /common/material/materialmanagersettings.con

You'll perhaps find the effect files in /objects/effects/impacts/bhits, at least thats the location in BF2.

first you need to create the bullet impact effect for the soldiers.

Next you need to manually edit your MaterialManagerSettings.con. I recommend to also open the MaterialManagerDefine.con to see what you need ill list them though mine look way different.

when you do CTRL+F in the ...settings.con youll type Createcell 131 126 for example then all you need to do is add the code

MaterialManager.createCell 131 126

MaterialManager.damageMod 1

MaterialManager.setEffectTemplate 0 e_bhit_s_sold_limb

MaterialManager.setSoundTemplate 0 S_Impact_Flesh
