Not sure if you got the email but I sent a list of ideas awhile back

I sure can.

I'm terribly sorry for the lateness. Things in my life ended up going roughly and by the time I got out of that, this convo had slipped my mind. When we're both online we should talk this out, maybe we could plan a "gorextreme patch" or something of the likes that amplifies the brutality. The gore definitely looks better as of the newer gorentity mod but I reckon it can be made more full-on in terms of reaction and animation. I'm not saying your animations aren't good enough, I mean as in... it's a mod made to ramp up the violence, might as well make it even more cruel :p

I assumed that creating new textures would be possible within BOD's game engine as most games that don't have full mod support at least have the ability to change textures as it's editing an already existent asset (Left4Dead1's mods only replacing textures and sounds, the very early Doom mods, Minecraft's texture packs being the only modification for the game during early releases before the creation of mod loaders) I have a moderately decent knowledge of how engine related events work for a variety of games but lack the coding knowledge, so I have no idea if those textures would be able to be created and used as I've never worked with any game engines before... but regardless I really do appreciate you looking at my idea for the mod, by the way I'm into the whole "blood and gore" thing quite strongly, I have some other ideas that you may like but some of them may be beyond the engine's limits, although if they're doable, gorentity will get alot more visceral which is obviously the selling point of the mod... If I sound like I'm trying to control the mod or something, then I'm sorry as I just wanted to contribute.

I think a neat little addition to the 2016 version of Gorentity would be if blood could cover your weapon using the same system as the character mutilation effects (swap textures to simulate blood or scarring effects on the character's model) here's a few steps of how this idea would work...

For sharp weapons:
1. normal texture
2. once it hits an enemy, the weapon will swap to a texture that is like the original but has some blood on it
3. if the player hits an enemy while their health is on or below the halfway point, a slightly more bloody texture will be used
4. if the weapon dismembers a character, the weapon's texture will become drenched in blood
5. if the player presses the holster button while the weapon is covered in blood, they'll flick the weapon and all of the blood will come off of it (swap back to normal texture) and go onto the the nearest surface, then they'll holster the weapon

For blunt weapons
1. normal texture
2. "Blunt weapons can cause a brief blood spatter when hurted "big" or enemy has only few lifepoints left" as stated in the 2016 version description, whenever this happens, some blood will cover the weapon using texture swapping
3. once the holster button is pressed, the player will clean the weapon (swap back to normal texture) by stroking the blood off with their hand quickly (if it took a realistic amount of time, it'd obviously be annoying as you want to continue your adventure/bloodbath instead of doing spring cleaning) then it'll be holstered

I hope that this idea appeals to you and will be possible to code into Gorentity Mod 2016

Yes, but only on the environment, not bodies...

Just remembered that Redoom looked fluid... and Beautiful Doom I think, I mostly just play Brutal Doom I guess.

3BRUTAL5ME 10/10 my favourite game modification of all time... Animation and gore effects are the best I've ever seen in a while! Never gets old!
