    Wow my name was mentioned. Anyway...what do you mean? I don't think you can just add a blood sprite in the game to give marines blood, it has to be coded, and the aliens already have blood.

    EDIT: Crm you should probly take
    "look at this
    Out War what u think ?"
    out of your sig.

    It can't be done, it needs to be coded in. Unless you want it as a server mod.

    Having Marines bleed would be cool.. instead of the lame sparks that come off them.

    It's hard-coded into the game and there's no way to change it. Frankly, I'm quite happy that Flayra did that. It's a nice change from the oodles of gore and blood you see in games.

    Blood on marines also poses another problem. Slowdown. If blood came out at biting range, then it would not only completely cover you view, but ruin your framerate too if you were on a crappy computer.

    Still, I personally would enjoy some blood because it does give you feedback that you actually hit someone. I think it'd be better if Flayra made these client options instead of forcing his own preferences on others.

    Only thing is, he, like any other designer, WANTS people to play. Notice how almost every game these days have multiple settings for blood? It's never wrong to give the user options.

    So what you say is, if there's no blood, Flayra will get fewer players?

    Let's not start a flame war over this. Things on this planet are not black and white. No blood is not the end of the world. However, if someone prefers blood, and it is impossible to enable it, then it will be a detractor, however minor, to the game. That, added with many other detractors, can eventually annoy someone enough to not play.

    Why would you want to limit the user anyways? If someone wants to do something their way, why not let them? It's like websites with that annoying background music that you can't turn off. There's no harm in letting them choose.

    It's Flayras game he can do what he wants.

    And NS doesn't need blood at all.

    I wonder what altering the spark sprite would do? Might make marines bleed when they are damaged.

    Of course, it might ALSO make marine buildings bleed while being constructed....

    PErsonally, I see no problem with there being no blood. I mean, Sure, any game can have gore and be OK, but can all games be fun without blood? Of course.

    If you HAVE to have blood in a game, you may need to seek therapy, and I'm not joking.

    The sparks aren't a sprite - they're hardcoded, the same way as weapon tracers in HL are. (I think they're the same code, even)

    I seem to remember seeing a way to change the colour of the trails once though, but I don't remember where or how.

    edit:

    in console, try these out:

    tracerred x
    tracergreen y
    tracerblue z

    where x y and z are values from 0 to 1 (they correspond to the RGB values). I have no idea if this'll make any kind of difference, but I guess it's worth a shot.

    (so, for example having x=0.7, y=0, and z=0 ought to make things a darkish red)

    Of course, blood isn't even a requirement. All I really want is just some more feedback that I hit someone, whether it be sound, animation, etc. I mean, look at Medal of Honor. No blood at all, but the fantastic animations made sure you knew that you hit someone. I'm sure without the animations, the combat would be much less absorbing.

    But if you really want more blood, head to my website. I've got blood sprites that'll give'em 4 times more blood.

    <a href='http://www.geocities.com/bwana1000/' target='_blank'>My Webpage</a>

    They won't do a thing to the marines, but there'll be much more blood coming out of the aliens.

    i love violent video games. am i a violent person? no. does ns need incredible amounts of blood? no, ns is a wonderful game with or without blood. i think flayra did not include blood because he wants ns to be a fun game for _all_ to play. ns is not supposed to be a spooky, scary, horror type game for the most part. i mean come on, who can be scared of little old <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Speak for yourself. Combat gorges are the scariest force in NS. Web is a one shot kill. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    the marine models in NS simply do not make blood, so there is no sprite to replace.

    This is a coding issue.

    CBD-Ikariya why not have both good animations and blood wouldnt that make twice the fun???

    ne way some of us are gore mainiacs (excuse my spelling if it is wrong) so we need more of that flesh and blood exposure. Take for example SOF2 (soldier of fortune 2) i mostly play it coz i like decresing the size and matter of a enemy's head but taking chunks of it away with a shotgun. I also just run up to someone on sof2 and shoot the in the throat just to hear em choke and gurgle and blood **** out everywhere <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    In conclusion Sound, Animation and blood make it feel like u have really hit somethin <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I just love avp2, and i love being the preditor and smearing ppl up the walls then ripping their heads off and when i do that to a marine its a taunt when a marine comes back to attempt to kill you and he sees his blood smeared on the wall and his skull on your belt, you feel powerful.

    And when im fade i would just have loved to seen blood when im butchering him then yelling "EAT THAT" at him. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And yes blood would be effective so you know when you hit them, the only problem with blood it it can be deceptive <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
