A little help-I can't display blood!

[mrkab00m]

I have a P4 at 1.8, GeForce 2 MX, and 256 RAM- I run HL2 with everything on high and run at a stable 30 fps, so no system problems... I have DX9.0b as well. HOWEVER, when I shoot someone in the face, no blood appears on their face, just on the wall behind them. Advice?

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

there is no uh.. face blood most of the time

 

[D€vIL²]

but when you shoot then anywhere else it does... right? I think that happens for me to

 

[mrkab00m]

Nah On my friends comp if I shoot breen in the face there is blood all over him.

You should be able to enable it with a console command. Do a search for them. It'll be something like sv_decal_enable 1 or sv_maxdecal # (where # is the number of decals you can display) or something. (I'm not sure what the prefix would be. I'm guessing it's sv_.)

Thanks, I'll try but right now it's pissing me off. This is what I mean, so yes, blood can be on people.

If they died... you can no longer cause any blood on any part of the dead body.

 

[mrkab00m]

No... that is a screen from garry's mod-right now I am unable to spray any blood on them, however during normal HL2 on my friends comp, you see blood their face after being shot.

EDIT: Basically, I can get blood on the wall behind them, but not on them.

How are you playing at those details on a GeForce 2? I'm pretty sure that's a dx6 card, and you are clearly using dx9 in that screen

 

[NJspeed]

I have the same thing on mine.. no body blood, just behind them on the wall..

I assumed this was normal.

Is there a console command to up the blood levels?

 

[Danimal]

sv_decal_limit or something like that, it should list itself

 

[Shadow112090]

i beat the game without any of that, but that was on a comp with dx7 i just got my new comp with a radeon 9600 to work yesterday, but so far i have seen no blood on ppl.

LMAO!

I'm ignoring you, what a load of BS. My system in my sig dips down to 23-24fps at times.


But yes, no blood for you.

 

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

I know cl_showbloodsplatter or something similar

Look for the cl_blood things... I know you can enable/disable blood clouds w/ one of these, maybe 'cl_show...' more things you can use.

Good luck... And I highly doubt your system runs at a CONSTANT 30fps, although dx7 on HL2 is very well done... hah... But whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your PC.

I recommend downloading dx9.0c, also, even if your vid card can't support it... There may have been updates to the dx7 engine, etc... I dunno.

Later.

Are you SERIOUS?!? Holy hell. Nah, mine runs stable at around 30 most of the time-if you want screens....

EDIT: Yes, I admit and am ashamed to say, sometimes it will drop to
18-ish if it's been on for a long time or in huge scenes.
