A Blood Mod. (Version 0.3 - The "Slightly Less Simple" update)
hey would you look at that, hexen works now
Just when you thought I was done with this for now, I surprised even myself and made v0.3. I literally just uploaded v0.2.1 yesterday, but here I am again. Check the changelog to see what's new. Or, you know, you can also play the mod and find out that way. Your choice.
-What does this mod do?
This mod replaces the blood and bloodsplatter actors with my own blood actors. Simple as that.
There are 3 parts to this mod: The fog, the particles, and the pools. The fog is the main actor replacer itself, and also spawns in the particles. The particles are the smaller actors that land on the ground and spawn pools. The pools lay on the ground and fade out over time.
-How is this one different from other blood mods?
-I made this one. /s
-There are many many other blood mods that probably do very similar things that mine does. That's no secret.
-The mod's purpose is to be very lightweight and also very customizeable. It is lightweight by being purely DECORATE, no custom sprites whatsoever, meaning that the mod is only 4 kilobytes. It is customizeable via an options menu. From there, you can change the amount of particles spawned, the fade out rate of the blood pools, the size of the actors, etc.
-You can change the sprites for every actor used in the mod to something different. This is especially useful if an iwad you are playing does not provide its own.
-Why should I use this mod instead of another blood mod?
No reason at all, really. This mod is not aiming to be better than any other similar mod.
In fact, you should most definitely check out Josh771's Droplets Mod and Nash's Blood Mod and decide which mod you enjoy the most on your own.
-Where's the download link for this?
Here it is. Load the mod AFTER any other mod that also replaces blood, otherwise this one will be overwritten.
Latest Release: Version 0.3 (8-24-18)
Size: 14kb
-What iwads does this mod support?
Here's a list of all of the games that have been tested with v0.3:
- -Fully Compatible: Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, Wadsmoosh, FreeDoom Phase 1 and 2
-Compatible, but need tinkering: Heretic, Hexen, Harmony, HACX (That is, if you dont want pools replaced with skeletons)
-Works, but does not fit very well: Chex Quest
-Does NOT work: Anything that does not use the vanilla gore system.
Who knows? Considering how (in)frequently I update a certain other mod, I don't want to make any promises I can't keep.
Here's that changelog or whatever.
Spoiler:Here's a few planned features I want to add at some point to this mod, whenever I figure out how, that is.
