ALthough I'm indifferent on blood I think visual feedback is REALLY needed. I hope it'll change to something different later on so that everybody's happy.

Ive played with the marine blood server plugin...and it seems just fine, helps you know whether you hit the marine or not

Roob's is running a "blood" plugin atm

It takes some getting used to, but when you are, it is great, and way better than normal NS

Vash7h3Stampede · July 2003

If you are talking about the metamod, there is a way to change how "subtle" it is. All you have to do is change a cvar. So it can be dripping, or <b>gushing</b>

I think it will have at most the same gore level as CS. And CS is rated teen I think.

Young_Trotsky · July 2003

lol, that blood plugin kills my fps, and it looks really stupid when u fire spores at a marine and blood just pops out of him once a second <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

BigMadSteve · July 2003

Will it be the default HL blood or will it be customised? Think of DoD and you'll see what I mean with the blood, not saying it has to be like that, just an example.

Vash7h3Stampede · July 2003

Ahh, I see, there is now "blood feedback" (I just read that part of the changelog)

Yes, I realize it was noobish to post about something I didn't know anything about, but hey.

Hida_Tsuzua · July 2003

The blood thing caught me off in left field (espcially considering all the discussions there were about it). I'm curious to see the way it goes.

Vash7h3Stampede · July 2003

Well, I was surprised because I had thought that Flayra, since the beginning, wanted no blood.

Thansal · July 2003

that one smaked allot of us upside the head I think. It was always a big point for Flay, no blood

However, I hope that his looks better then the silly blood plugin out there now (that plugin just bugs me).

well, as a few have said, wow, didn't expect that

Macguyvok · July 2003

I think it was more like he didn't want gore. Blood, might not be considered "gore". I think he wants it so that you don't bite marines heads/arms oiff, but you can see if u hit a marine.... He wants NS to be a Family Game, not a SoF2 stlye game.

Vash7h3Stampede · July 2003

Oh, I got it. That makes sense and it makes it easier to tell if you hit the marines. Plus, it will just be wicked to see blood coming out of you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

0blique · July 2003

Well, blood should be fine as long as its not too messy.

Roob's would be running a blood plugin if it was up :/

Iced_Eagle · July 2003

the plugin imo puts too much blood out there.... hopefully the NS official will be less.... spamming with blood

Password_Recovery_Robot · July 2003

I loathe the blood plugin that's being used on some servers now. I find that it will often obscure my view and cause me to lose sight of the marine I'm trying to chomp. Hopefully Flayra will come up with a better implementation.

Personally, I'd just like to see the screen flash for a split second when you make contact with a bite.

Maus · July 2003

Oh now come on, the marinebleed plugin is actually rather good fun, especially when you turn mp_decals up for a bloodbath game. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

DiscoDuck · July 2003

back on topic, I really like the blood plug-in as a marine because you can tell when one of your buddies is hit or parasited.

Infected_Marine · July 2003

I have to agree with duck, except I want to make the point that I think blood implemented in the game is even better.

I personally think now that a lot of the things that Flayra was supposed to be dead set on are simply decisions he made in the rush to make 1.0, and now that he has a better perspective, he may overturn many of his original considerations in the interest of making a better NS.

lolfighter · July 2003

Must say this caught me by surprise. Flayra's emphasis that he made the change gladly and willingly must mean that someone is blackmailing him.

Anyway, I hope the blood won't be overdone, and I HOPE that healspray or spores won't trigger the effect. Neither should parasite I think.

Blood feedback on the viewmodels would be awesome with close combat attacks. Getting a successful bite on a marine would stain your teeth with blood... that would add boatloads to the immersion. Comparison: In RUNE, your weapons were bloodstained after you hit an enemy. Go have a look. If something like this could be done with the viewmodels, COOL!

StoatBringer · July 2003

There used to be a game on the Amiga called (iirc) Alien Breed 3D. When you gibbed the bad guys recognisable internal organs flew about. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Fantasmo · July 2003

I'm certain blood wasn't added for the sake of being bloody, it is a visual indication of a player being hurt from an attack. I think it'll be helpful and I welcome the change.

If gibs were added <i>then</i> I would suspect Flayra compromised his vision.
