ive looked all over and i can't find how you put the bf1 blood effects in when a character is damaged by bullets
I have the files but i need to know what the ODF code is, i believe its secondary ordinance but im not sure.
if this has been mentioned before sorry for bringing it up again but i seriously cant find it, ive been searching all day

Look in the ordance odf in the Common folder, you'll see lines for it. I've done this before for BrutalFront.


But I didn't know BF1 had a blood effect. I've been trying to make my own; if there's a shipped one out there all ready for use, that'd be really useful. Where'd you find it, exactly?

Yah, there's one I tried to add it to my middle ages map. (Unsuccesfully)

It's located in assets/shipped effects. It's called "Bloodspray".

@Fiodis: Skyhammer also made one... it's in his effects pack. But I warn you - don't apply it to a shotgun... it goes a bit over the top...

This was apparently used in the +123 for the pirates in jabbas palace but i cant find how they coded it or anything about the devs

Hidden/Spoiler:

I saw that one and ripped it apart to make my own. I think it goes a bit over the top whatever you use.


And all the code you need is in the parent ordance ODF files.


And Ty, I'm curious - what does it look like? When I open it up in PE, it's a bunch of red squares. Why squares? It's as if PE can't open it fully, or is missing something....

Assuming you've got the Bloodspray effect in your side's effects folder, add this line to your weapon's ordnance odf:

i put the code in com_weap_inf_rifle_ord.odf , also in the specific weapon's ordinance odf, and the bloodspray.fx file is in the sides effects folder, which i had to create since there wasnt one
BUT... nothing is happening. i put a reference to the effect in the ingame.req but that made no difference. (im doing all of this on a test map with the alliance side and no other modding)

never mind... fixed it
turns out i was missing the dirtspray.tga and various dirtspray related .fx's, added those and it works
