the mod still works, but of course it's incompatible with any other mod for blood and/or other effects

where is the alternative version if i can ask
Typhoon 15 Mar, 2019 @ 7:10pm 
can we have normal flaming arrow trails and all kind of projectiles , the other projectiles is good but that cause the normal flaming arrow goes bad if we had both of them on default and just adding the impact and smoke stack effect is that possible ??, i just want the smoke stack and impact effect

says you have to load the mod as a movie file format. so it wont work if I just subscribe to it and start a campaign?

Will this work with patch 19?
SphereWorld 8 Jan, 2018 @ 7:28am 
This mod could still be used in the patch18! Blood disapper? Fortunately, I may have found the solution. Just use that tiny mod that mentioned in the description of Gerula Graphics Enhancement MOD: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=409533080&searchtext=sweetfx

I found a bloodpack where the blood never disappears..
vitalyvorobiov 14 Sep, 2016 @ 12:59pm 
У меня одного он перестал работать?
I have one it stopped working ?
Beef Supreme 30 Jul, 2016 @ 12:27pm 
oh and your link is broken for pack file manager
Beef Supreme 30 Jul, 2016 @ 12:26pm 
nobodys blood mods eveen work anymore, nothing on the ground on any of them, and yes im on extreme
ikuzmin007 18 May, 2016 @ 11:24am 
Why did you delete dust effects? Unrealistic... I was to use [Updated] Enhanced Particles mod with your one for better animation.
Popee the Clown 16 Mar, 2016 @ 4:32pm 
im having issues with the blood effects. i have the blood and gore dlc but when i installed this mod im still getting the same old crappy small spots of red on the troops bodies and also no blood on the ground. my settings are on extreme also. idk if the yellow triangle and exclamation mark for the modmanager that came with game has to do with any problem but if so plz help :(
neo-china 9 Mar, 2016 @ 11:56am 
After trying what you said, it still didn't work, and I realised that even if I didn't start the game with this mod ticked it still crashed, the game only worked again when I deleted the mod completely. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and sorry to pester you like this.
Mech_Donald  [author] 7 Mar, 2016 @ 11:00am 
First: You need the Pack File Manager from Total War Center (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?680538-PFM-3-5-0-Attila-support) .
Then, open your Windows Explorer and go to your Rome2\Data folder. In there, you'll see my mod "md_mod_xxxx".
Open it with Pack File Manager.
Go to File -> Change Pack Type -> check "Movie" and save the file.

Now close PFM.
You just need to set the file to write protected now. To do this right click on the mod file and choose "Properties". Now click on the "general" tab. Just check "read only" and click ok. That's it. The mod should work now.
neo-china 7 Mar, 2016 @ 10:34am 
Ok thanks. I also just realised I had not saved it as a movie file format. How do you do this? (I am very bad with computers)
Mech_Donald  [author] 7 Mar, 2016 @ 9:43am 
I had also this error on startup with the CA-Mod Manager. The only way to trick this is to click on play as fast as possible.
neo-china 6 Mar, 2016 @ 10:42am 
This mod makes the game crash on startup and your method didnt work. Is it possible you can find another way to get round this? Cheers.
Mech_Donald  [author] 1 Jan, 2016 @ 5:34am 
@ Théoden, Son of Thengel

Yes it is compatible with GEM.

@ Alexandros(GR)
I think you mean whether i can make a new mod for Atilla?

I don't think so. Atilla is great, but it is just a full price DLC for me. It looks like a little pimped version of Rome2 to me. So i won't buy it.

But more important: Since CA has restricted particle modding for Rome 2, i don't feel like to make a new mod for this series anymore. Sorry.
Alexander The Greek 1 Jan, 2016 @ 4:58am 
if you have Atilla Total war can you do the same?
Lorj 31 Dec, 2015 @ 8:01pm 
is it compatible with GEM?
Azaron 6 Oct, 2015 @ 6:21pm 
UHGGG
Cheese 4 Oct, 2015 @ 6:47pm 
same for me, smoke and fire are working but no blood on the grand, I also have everything setting on Extreme. please help.
Azaron 29 Sep, 2015 @ 10:37am 
@ necro819, I did, I put his additional link in to the data folder, and still.. no blood on the ground... Am I missing something?
necro819 28 Sep, 2015 @ 8:07pm 
@Azaron

you should download additional file link on the GBJ's blood mod page.
Azaron 28 Sep, 2015 @ 7:02pm 
I tried GBJ's blood mod but I just couldn't get it to work, so you are my only option left... All of my settings are set to Extreme, Extreme terrain, unit detail, sky, tree, water, everything... And yet, no blood on ground, at all!! I even have GEM and Radious TW installed and still... nothing. Please guide me on how to install and make this mod work, please..

@ allennguyen93

I tried many things to separate the blood puff effects from each other. But there is some kind of restriction by the developers wich doesn't let me do this. So there is just the way to disable all blood puff effects wich has significant changes to other effects. Due to the restriction in particle modding there is just a compromise but not a decent solution. Sorry.

You can download the PFM on TWCenter Forums. Look for the modding tools section. There is a thread with a download link.
allennguyen93 26 Sep, 2015 @ 9:14am 
@Mech, is there anyway i can keep dust effect instead of blood puffs because it is unrealistic that there are blood puffs when arrows hit siege machines. One more thing is how can i download pack file manager
necro819 17 Sep, 2015 @ 5:26am 
I really likes this mod. I can't imagine Playing rome2 without SEEM MOD!
especially I prefer 1.5 to SEEM 1.6 insane ver.
because SEEM 1.5 has good compatibility with any other mods. (other effect and blood mod)
thanks a lot ! ! Mech_Donald!
Mech_Donald  [author] 16 Sep, 2015 @ 5:00pm 
@ necro819

That's right! I'm glad this works again! :)
necro819 16 Sep, 2015 @ 6:47am 
I just find out solution! it's the same way as SEEM 1.6
To get this mod to work, you have to load it into the Pack File Manger (you can find PFM from totalwar center) and covert the file type to movie. after that set the file to write protected.
necro819 24 Aug, 2015 @ 8:01am 
This mod didn't work with patch 17. update plz
Savedave † Exitus 26 Jun, 2015 @ 3:44am 
How can I download it?!
Tez 1 Jun, 2015 @ 5:28am 
the mod manager says it is obsolet anda the game could crash!
Mech_Donald  [author] 31 May, 2015 @ 4:56am 
Yes it is.
TexanChiss 30 May, 2015 @ 4:30pm 
Compatible with Gem?
Terry 13 Apr, 2015 @ 5:11am 
peut tu mettre a jour le mod please
Mech_Donald  [author] 12 Apr, 2015 @ 4:00am 
Yes it does. I recommend you to test it out. If your game runs too slow, you can just unsubscribe the mod. ;)
a♱0m♕ 12 Apr, 2015 @ 12:06am 
does this affects FPS?
Mech_Donald  [author] 19 Mar, 2015 @ 3:37pm 
Sehe ich auch so. :D

Viel Spaß mit der Mod! :)
Doogy 19 Mar, 2015 @ 12:23pm 
Jo! Danke für den Tipp, aber ich denke, du hast dir so viel Mühe gegeben, auch für die anderen Texturen, dass es quatsch wäre, nur die blut-mod zu installieren.

Für andere Jungs, denen es wirklich nur um das Blut geht, danken dir für den standalone-mod!
Mech_Donald  [author] 18 Mar, 2015 @ 6:46pm 
Hey Danke! :)
Wenn es Dir allein um die Bluttexturen geht und Du die anderen Effekte nicht möchtest, habe ich auch eine Standalone-Mod nur für Blut. ;)
Doogy 17 Mar, 2015 @ 7:44pm 
Nach 2 Stunden erbitterter Suche und zig Tests nach etwas "präziseren" Bluttexturen, hat mich dieser Mod von Mech_Donald überzeugt. Super!

After 2 hours of fierce looking and dozens of tests for something " more accurate " blood textures this mod has convinced me of Mech_Donald . Super !
