As the name suggests, i'd like to see more permanent gore effects.
When a body is shot and lands on the ground, it'd be cool to see blood splatter all over the polygon too. The blood would simply use the same fade in and out method as the smoke from when a grenade blows up. Of course the blood should disappear after like 5-10 seconds.
Here's a picture to help show what i meant.

I wholeheartedly support this idea.
-
Same here... nice piccies too XD
-
I don't think it's really nescessary, since the little soldat's allready bleedin' all over the place as it is.
-
It'd only benefit soldat to have more gore ;)
-
The more gore the better.
-
i have to support this idea because of those pictures :D
-
oh what the hell, why not
-
Lollercaust sure why not
-
The more gore the better!
/me raises a bloody dismembered arm in support.
-
yeah, I support this. But maybe it would cause display problems with maps? Like to much of the poly being covered and players getting confused.
-
Lol yeah, that'd be good. But the blood should only last like 5 seconds max coz imagine zombie servers with like 500 Litres of blood sticking everywhere for 10 seconds
-- Maybe this would be an idea for MM to look into to make Registering that 1% more worth it? he could have a personal gore option that only apply's to that person the way THEY select it.
e.g Gore Is Registered Only
Gore [on] [off]
Gore Level [Little] - [Lots] - [Bloody] - [Bloody Gore!]
Blood Time (how long blood lasts for) [3 seconds] - [5 seconds] - [10 seconds] - [13 seconds]
Blood Colour - Green, Blue, Red, Pink, Etc.
But this is a differant idea sort of, but its a idea for you.
-
If this were to be done, I would also really hope that gradual fade effects be implemented, instead of body parts and blood disappearing right away upon respawn, or if it would only disappear when no player on the server's monitor is focused on the section that is to vanish.
-
I completely agree with Gold.
those different colors of blood remind me of Turok64.
-
color should not be server side, SO ALIEN GOSTECKS PREVAIL WITH RADIOACTIVE BLOOD
-
W00t, blood spray on polys!
-
i agree with u, and also agree with Keron.
-
I should have made this a poll to show how many people like the idea. :p
And yea, i think a gradual fade in/out would be a must-have if this were implemented.
-
I like it sounds like fun. ;)
I just hope it wont be to complicated to put in.
-
heh.. Blood Graffiti =DD
-
i like the soldat effects like they are :P
-
im confused...i dont get what is being suggested.
-
Good and cool idea i support!
-
It would be fun, But think about the lag in zombie servers! if your playing zombie there arent many caps that leads to a map change there be millions of blood stains (cursing lag to me and some other players). if its an option ifs 100% supported.
edit:
ow i posted in a dead tread sorry dudes/girls dint notice.
-
It should be an option, like "Gore: [] Yes [] No".
I fully support it.
-

As long as the fadin process is made client side (as it surely is, server does not even need to know that there is some blood) it could be easily done. if player position, and blood positions distance is over x units, make it disapprear. :)
I think that blood goin actually INSIDE the soil is not SO intelligent. :P Same would be if there was something like flares, dynamic lighting, shadows, and all of them could actually be rendered to inside a polygon. :P
-
yes this would be great for soldat

this mod i made made it alittle bloodier atleast..
-
I reckon this would be great. Full support,
-
Yes! More gore would make soldat even better
-
Good idea. I think it could be implemented by having a small blood image appear when a blood image hits the poly, then bounces.
I don't think this should be a registered feature, but it should be handled by whoever does the blood code (I think the client).
-
I think it should be permanant blood, permanant bodies, permanent heads bouncin around.

But it should be changable in options.

VERY good idea 100% support from me.
-
I really support this idea!
I would say the blood lasts no more than 5 seconds or so.
-
Isn't this already being implemented?

Nothing in soldat is permanent! In the old version bodies would remain on the screen - there's a good reason why they don't anymore: They clutter the screen too fast and allows for camping behind them. The blood stain doesn't change the game play over time - just makes it look cooler.
Bloody Soil all the way!
-
As long as there's an option to turn off the blood stains, I find no reason not to support this.
[fist]
-
Some gore effects will make the game a bit more interesting IMO and maybe also the bodies.
but of course it'll fade out after like a minute or half a minute, that could be cool.

I love this idea. I just finished playing a 30 minutes team match with 9 bots on each side and I thought that it would be nice if ~500 dead bodies would actually litter the battlefield providing additional cover against snipers and machinegun fire.

That's why it would be an option, that could be turned on and off.
BTW.
Which version of Soldat had permament bodies? Is it still downloadable?
-
Yesh.
It would have a clear advantage for Red team, though, someone might get the idea to make the blood the same color as alpha's shirts.
-
Permanent bodies would be an awesome option. I would love to fill up the lower section of CTF Death with carcasses.
-
Permanent bodies would be an awesome option lag generator.
Fixed!

MS Paint ftw... ^^,
and yes, if possible.
