As I'm sure many of you have noticed by now, any injury of KO or worse can be permanently displayed on the field (at least for the rest of the game), as of patch 8.4. SkiJunkie also requested submissions of more decals for this use in the updated readme.txt file.
I've started work on them, but haven't had much time to spend. I find a good old airbrush with a red to transparent gradient works very nicely - the trick is not to overdo the claret...
I plan on a simple set to begin with - a few spots here and there for a KO, with more spillage the nastier the injury gets.
One thing I haven't experimented with is the size of the decals - must they be 48 pixels square, or can they vary?
Has anyone else made progress?
Also, I'd like to see some screenshots of pitches at the end of particularly violent matches - I noticed stunty games featuring chainsaws produced good results. |

Thanks for the tip, SJ.
It's worth noting, folks, that squares on the regular sized client are 40 pixels square (iirc)- anything outside that radius should be restricted to splash/spatter effects only - we do want to actually see the pitch markings by the end of the game (...that gives me an idea for the 'Right Bastards' thread...). |

Well done, SkiJunkie - this is really a great feature that improves my fun in JBB.
But would it be possible that every event gets a set of decals to cycle through, not only the RIPs?
I've experimented yesterday a bit: The player icons in JBB are all 28x28 pixels, so for smaller decals this size is enough. 48x48 is, if you use it entirely, too much.
If someone is interested in my little paintings, message me. They're not great art, but do their work |

Ok folks, I got rather sucked into doing quite a few decals in the end...it's easy to sit there making more and more, but the line had to be drawn. So give them a try:
http://www.worldinfocus.net/fumbbl/ColsBloodDecals.zip
Feel free to rename them for easier use - the numbering is all over the place. Leave feedback on this thread - once we settle on what style to go for and which ones to keep, I can upload the refined version to the Downloads section, as well as create a matching decals.ini file.
There's two major styles in there, airbrush spray and pen-drawn blood pools, in both cases bumpmapped in GIMP 2.2. Any preferences for one over the other? |

Heya!
It seems that some people are experiencing some trouble with the bloody gore left on the field after a RIP. "See-through" players can very easily get hidden in the blood, causing problems. Have had 2 opponents now who lost their blitz action because they couldnĀ“t see that their own players was standing in the blood field.
Just letting you guys know

Well, it's very easy to disable it, just go to decals.ini and change all the bloody things to none.png. |

And VERY nice they are!
I bet bashy games will be a LOT more common now. Lovely, all those blood-stains... |
