Ok, today i was searching for stuff in the forums and came across this post....

<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37059&hl=virus+pack' target='_blank'>http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/in...9&hl=virus+pack</a>

Look at the 8th post down. How can you make the decals stay like that? When you put the decal limit up in the options menu it puts it back down to 4000 something by itself.

Anyone know how to do this?

    The maximum decals is 4096 for HL. Set it to that in every mod- its impossible to get that high in anything less than an hour.

    ...and even then, you won't notice it.

    "This is the major decal overhaul that leaves decals (Bulletholes, blood, etc...) on for the whole/most of the map. "

    i never see blood from past battles on the ground so that means he found a way to make them stay, and i assume that means doing something besides turning the decal limit all the way up.

    i mean how else could you get a place to look like that picture(8th post down)?

    Put it into console (or execute it via cfg. file), then you can have your slaughterhouse.

    there is also a serverside plugin that lets you push the limits a bit more (around 5000 iirc)

    But that's not worth it imo... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It'd start lagging slower compys wouldn't it? Also increase ping?

    i did the mp_decals 4096 thing and it still doesnt look like the picture. The blood marks go away in a few seconds, prolly because the bullet decals add up so fast. I wonder what he did...

    You didn't do something right. They shouldn't go away like that.

    It wouldn't affect ping, but slower computers would begin to loose framerates.

    hehe notice that the entire team shown is HA, and that is a few seconds before i was HA, and everyone had hmgs. by the end of the game, we had met that limit of 4096 decals because i started seeing them disapear. there was 1 guy that wasnt HA and he was gl/jp. everyone else was HA/hmg.

    I ment when i put the decal limit up like that everything stays but the marine blood. The alien blood and bullet holes are there but the marine blood is gone. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That's because the marine blood isn't like alien blood, it doesn't get applied to the map. It's just a sprite to show you've landed a hit afaik.

    That sux, but then why is marine blood in the picture Virus made(in the link in the first post)?

  • MintmanMintman Join Date: 2003-05-30 Member: 16866Members
    That's because that's the marine blood plugin from 1.0 in which the marine blood worked in the same way as the alien blood.
