Blood Mod

Is having a blood mod installed an advantage or just visual enhancement?

depends what kind of blood mod! I mean i've seen 1 where once a player is shot, he bleeds constantly. And the color was a kind of green. Which than gave the position of the player hit. Wherever he went he.. he was being followed!

But it all depends on how people look at it.
I for 1 just stick to stock plain and simple. You adjust to what you play on. STock=fun and no mix up with sv_pure

Yup, 100% bone stock.

tough break commie :P

It gives a slight advantage in that you can see the blood spurt from a hit further away then the dust impact from stock.

Stock is good and I play the sv pure server when I find them but I will miss my blood mods. I use 3 differnt ones depending on how much blood I want.

As Winston Churchill once said:

"If you're young and a conservative, you're cold-hearted but if your old and a liberal, you're stupid."

but with SH, the thud when they hit is easier, and they move their gun. its a good indication.

So with SV pure or whatever I will be forced to uninstall my Mr Jingles Blood Mod? If so that sucks.

I think that's the case MajorRager. sv_pure doesn't seem to like any additional .pk3. I've tried a few different blood mods and couldn't get into pure servers. I suppose it is a good thing because with most blood mods, you can see blood drops through floors so you know where people are when you shouldn't.

Well thanks for the info on that TotenHosen. The mod I use doesn't do much but spray blood on a hit and then stays as a stain on the ground for a few minutes. Its too bad that a simple enhancement is ruined because of all the other "cheats" that people seem to resort to.

It is my understanding that if an sv pure server has a mod installed the client can use the same one.

So if a server had jingles installed you could join the server with it in your main folder.

edited.. this is now ilegal as per TotalCarnage do not post how to do this.

oh yeah, and to answer to the ORIGINAL post.. lol, i didn't know about the green, always dripping blood mod. but as for the normal (can't see it thru walls or floors) blood mods, i think it adds a bit more realism, b/c i mean, c'mon how often is someone shot and you see NO blood? unless you're shooting dried out corpses, or maniquins, won't happen. so it does add a nice effect to the game so long as the particular blood mod doesn't give any added advantages

Grin Reaper. See TC's addition to the one thread. Crosshairs and custom scopes are illegal on a pure server. It defeats the purpose of pure. SH is to be played stock.

blood mods are bad mmmkay
