I redid the human blood effects as the default ones in Halo kind of suck.

It's under bitmaps as effects\decals\blood splats\bitmaps\blood splat for the human blood. The other ones are below that with their respective names. Also, next time keep a question like this to a PM.

If the user has blood disabled, it doesn't matter if you enhance it or not; they still won't see it.

Yeah, but this is for the people that don't have it disabled. :P Now can people start posting about what they think since that's the whole point of the thread in the first place?

It just looks too artificial for me, the blood is way to red. However the splats look pretty good, and i like how it is sort of see through. To show the background like the original.

Right, critics :P

I think it looks good, maybe just a slight tint of reddish, but Quentin-like.

Well, I tried to make it a little less 'red' so that it would be darker, butI couldn't get it to work. This is the best result I got.

Btw did you make the paint in photoshop and transferred it inot HMT. If so can you tell me how you did it?

Extracted the .dds file using HMT, edited it with Photoshop, and reinjected it with HMT.

Does Doom 3 use .dds files?

He should know if he opens it up in a Doom 3 editor. The files should be named or grouped together.

You could convert it to a dds even if it wasn't.
