too much

can you make it just the blood squirts?

is there gore?

@vadiniscool

If you want to remove the blood squirts, do the following:

1. Open the location where the Steam Workshop downloads the particle (steamapps\workshop\content\220\3453132139)
2. Extract the "workshop_dir.vpk" file to the "custom" folder in the Half-Life 2 directory (Half-Life 2\hl2\custom)
3. Open Half-Life 2 with the following launch options: "-nop4" and "-tools"
4. Open the particle editor by selecting "Particle Editor" from the "Tools" menu
5. Open the "blood_impact.pcf" file that you extracted to your custom folder
6. Delete the following particle effects (or remove them from the blood_impact_red_01's "children"): blood_impact_red_01_chunk, blood_impact_red_01_goop, blood_impact_red_01_goop2 and blood_impact_red_01_smalldroplets
7. Press the "save" button / "save and test"
8. Verify that the particle functions by pressing F10, opening a map (like d1_canals_01) and shooting at the enemies
9. Close Half-Life 2
10. Remove "-nop4" and "-tools" from the launch options

Is there anyway to remove the blood squirting and just have the mist?

@idk That's very nice to know. I find the Source Particle Editor a fun, if sometimes infuriating and confusing tool to work with. I recommend messing around with it and trying to create your own particles if you want to get the hang of it

@Not ManBeast man, thanks! thx you so much. i've got motivation to code due your comments. thx

hey guys

i guess thats it

For more information on the particle editor, check the Valve Developer Community https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Particle_Editor

If you want to modify the particles yourself, here's what you can do:

1. Open the location where the Steam Workshop downloads the particle (steamapps\workshop\content\220\3453132139)
2. Extract the "workshop_dir.vpk" file to the "custom" folder in the Half-Life 2 directory (Half-Life 2\hl2\custom)
3. Open Half-Life 2 with the following launch options: "-nop4" and "-tools"
4. Open the particle editor by selecting "Particle Editor" from the "Tools" menu
5. Open the "blood_impact.pcf" file that you extracted to your custom folder
6. Choose the particle you want to edit
7. Select "Lifetime Random" under "Initializers"
8. Change the values of "lifetime_min" and "lifetime_max" to your desired amount (NOTE: these are the upper and lower bounds of the random selector)
9. Press the "save" button
10. You can now test the particle by pressing F10 to interact with the game (pressing F11 will make the Viewport full screen)

@idk The blood particles have a set "fade time", which is how long they will exist until being killed (removed). As far as I know, a particle could be made to exist "permanently" by making its lifetime be something like 999999999999 seconds, but then the game's memory would most likely get filled to the brim with particle data and crash. I have set the particle fade times to be roughly 12.5 s. because that is the longest time they can exist without making the game prone to crashing.

how to stop blood dissapearing. this mod is great

more mods like this

squidward

like... some kind of... red mist?

Hello! I really liked this modification! Please, could you reduce or completely remove the particles that come out of the main character? When an enemy hits me, I immediately stop seeing anything, I want the sea of ​​blood to be only on the enemies, but not on ourselves.
I hope you will listen, thanks in advance! (sorry for the errors in the text and unclear meaning, Google translator)

this mod gets big five booms

@sholdier I doubt that I can create and add the blood pool system from Black Mesa since it would most likely require modifying the game's code, which I'm unable to do. The blood pools that this particle has aren't dynamic and appear directly below the particle's spawn point. I'm considering removing them, since they add more visual clutter while being unsatisfying.

my game crashes when its to much

Very good mod.But I think the particles are a bit to much. Can you a seperate mod that has the black mesa blood pools

this is the best blood particles in the workshop also is it possible to port shaders to hl2 from gamebanana like xen reshade and could you port hla animations for hl2 vanilla headcrabs

i still love this mod

@MGBOSSGAMING2829 I'm unable to add gore or gibs to this mod. It only modifies HL2's particle effects. Since HL2 doesn't allow for the modification of its source code and doesn't support any other programming language within it (think how Garry's Mod has support for the programming language LUA), other mod creators and I are unable to add entities such as gibs or gore.

I theoretically could add a particle effect that uses the render_models particle renderer, but I'm not sure if that exists in HL2. If it exists, and I could make a particle using it (which would require gib models, which I would have to create even though I have no experience in modelling), it would need to be a child particle of blood_impact_red_01 , which appears every time an NPC is damaged. Therefore, shooting a Combine soldier with a shotgun would create a load of (for example) spleen models, which would be ugly and could, in the worst case, cause the game to run out of memory and crash.

Gore mod

Could you add gore pls

i would add this on my second update on the EZ2 with CustomVFX

Half-life 2 if it was created by Monolith Productions

Can you add splash blood
