there's not an option, but you could replace the "blood" image(s) at base/pics/sfx/
with a transparent targa to accomplish the same thing.

"pics" is directly in "base"... unless maybe you have an old version.

Do a search anyway, up to 2.2 the file should be called "blood.tga"

In the release version of 2.2, there is no such folder. Instead, there is a 0pics.pk3 file, which is a zipped version of that folder.

There are instructions on this forum on how to deal with the archives. A quick search should do the trick.

ok so i have one more quick question... in Red alert they have mix files. if i export a file and change it. then put it in the game directory it will be in the game and i didnt need to import it back into the mix file. if there is a file in the mix file nammed the same as a file outside the mix file then the file outside overrides it.

is that how the .pk3's work? or do you have to reimport the stuff for it to work?

And please, remove killing of soldiers and civilians, and aliens too, it`s so cruel.

And, even better, let`s make UFO:Sims.

:-D

I don't know how Red Alert works because I've never looked at it. But yes, that's right.

Kildor, if Salvakia doesn't want blood, that's his choice, ok? There's nothing wrong with providing options for players.

In this case I'd include that option as a possible performance-increasing setting rather than because it gives the player more options. There is such a thing as having too many options.

BT, it's also a parental-guidance--type option. I know, I know -- if you are too young, don't play this game. But if turning off the blood helps his Mom feel better about UFO:AI, why pick on him about it?

But he want kills of soldiers? And doesn`t pity poor and unlucky aliens?

PS: will this setting switch off aliens green blood and oil of UGVs? We should be political correctnessy to all characters in game and players in RL

it's not implemented in 2.2, but i've provided alien colored bloods and black oil for machines.  It might make the game more parent-friendly... but will make it look better, which was my main point.
