An FYI:

With the new stickiness variable, the blood in B21 will actually stack in large, congealing clumps given half the chance. Luckily Electroclan's solution for stacking shells holds true for blood as well, so here is a material that works for me.



Those are the replacements I made for the material and MOpixel. This allows blood to stick to things in thin layers without acting like concrete. You may want to add PushesEmitter = 0 to the wounds.

Is that legal? o_o

Also I'm making a mod and I want to implement excessive and violent gore effect that one could think of such as blood trails, bloodstains on walls, organs, blood pools ect ect.
To counter globs for liquid blood, I´ll probably make it frictionless so it would slip and pool into a flat puddle.

That's what I've been working on for the last week. I've essentially been revamping the coalition clone so that you can shoot it to bits, using an orgy of attachments. Still, you sound like your gore thing is part of a larger mod and it sounds a bit different to mine too. Nevertheless, I'm astounded that after a 4-month hiatus from DRLFF I pick an idea to work on and you're secretly working on the same thing. I'd say great minds think alike but that's far too clichéd.

Lol busted.

But hey, its just a part of a mod I'm making. Its more of a multitype mod.
You can use it as a faction in skirmishes. You can play tournament style modes on it such as DM, CTF and so on ect. ect. Or you can use it for mission style maps. Its not even associated with AAL in anyway.

Yeah it shouldn't be a problem, mines more of a replacement for the default clones, which, good as they are, simply don't bleed enough. Now you can literally shoot their faces off.

And jetpacks? They've always struck me as far too safe for a canister of highly compressed flammable gas.

Yeah, your mod aims more for realism than mine since I'm aiming for effects mainly rather than removable faces, but I must admit its an awesome idea. xD

As fun as explosions are, there are some things to consider when dealing with "canisters of highly compressed flammable gas."

Lets take a look at a flamethrower. You usually have two or three tanks. One contains fuel, and the other compressed gas - like an aerosol can - to make the fuel shoot out. Simply shooting any of these tanks simply makes the contents come out. This might knock the wearer over in the case of the compressed propellant, but that'd be the worst of it. A regular bullet won't make any of these things into a deadly fireball. It'd have to be hit by an actual incendiary round, or something else that is fire or makes fire.

A jet pack would probably have a similar setup. Remember, military forces aren't going to strap bombs to their soldiers (at least not with some other intended purpose besides exploding). This is why I tend to get annoyed with the portrayal of things always exploding in games and movies. Especially military equipment. Stuff doesn't explode spontaneously just because something damages it. If it did, the military would never use it.

tl;dr: jetpacks probably don't explode as easily as you think.

Sounds fair enough, since if blipflip would make that explosion powerful and easy to achieve, then it would make 90% of all the deaths of the said soldier simply splatter. He is making the soldier pretty detailed so it would be cool to leave it as is or make the pack very strong.

Well, thinking about it, if you made the jet packs damageable, you could just have it spurt fuel and not work correctly.

I'd counter that statement- considering the Coalition literally uses mass-produced soldiers, it isn't far-off to think that they'd use minimal precaution in jetpack design.
Also, considering the jetpacks recharge, they might be using a form of nuclear power for fuel in some mysterious way, in which case you might get some form of fun out of that.
Quite frankly, I want to see ♥♥♥♥ blow up.

A stray bullet piercing a container of highly-compressed fluid or aerosol will often make the container burst (try shooting a full deoderant can with an air-rifle and watch the can disappear). While this won't make an explosion, it will likely waste all the fuel and send the attached objects flying. If it was a much stronger metal, it it took a bullet it may leave a simple hole, spraying out the aerosol and pushing the actor around.

So, for weak jetpack-casing actors, throw them around with strong bursts of gas, and if they're a little more robust, have the entry wounds spit jets, knocking them off balance instead of leaping into the sky like in the first scenario.

Hehe...it actually does a combination. After you damage it a bit, there's a small explosion and a shockwave, then the jetpack essentially goes into overdrive, propelling the clone into the sky, dropships, other clones etc.

This is actually quite difficult to do. The gas canister is protected by the jetpack shield, which is quite strong. Essentially, it won't blow up unless you concentrate your fire on it, and you need an AK-47 or a shotgun at short range.

And lets not get too hung up on realism. This is a game where brains in jars control skeletons and crash-test dummies. As Sand Rat says, I want to see ♥♥♥♥ blow up.

God. I get so sick and tired of hearing people say this. Its such a flawed statement, but I really don't want to write another dissertation on why. I already did that in some other thread and forgot where it was.

So, whatever.

Found it by searching your posts for the words "100 years".

I wholly believe in a transhuman future, I suppose the skeletons are weird but I think data's going to come up with an excuse explaining their existance.

ONTOPIC: Blipflip and numgun's mods both sound really cool.
