[MOD] No Blood Splatter and Reduced Decap

[JaithWraith]

No Blood Splatter and Reduced Decapitations Mod

I started tinkering with modding in 7DTD and created a mod for my wife and I in Alpha 15 to remove blood splatter and dramatically reduce the frequency of decapitations. I decided to update my edits for Alpha 16 and share them here in case anyone else would like to make use of this mod. The latest version works with Alpha 19.

I'm sure many will disagree with my decision to mod blood splatter out of a horror survival game. That's fine. The awesomeness of mods allows each person to tweak the game for how they prefer to play, and this is mine.

Because it relies on an edited entityclasses.xml file, items.xml, and progression.xml, this mod is not compatible with anything else that also changes these. Of course, you could splice in my edits manually if you are determined enough.

The file is available for download from my GitHub site[github.com].

Thanks!

you must of really lived a closed life. That ain't no fun for a horror game....

Updated for Alpha 17 - having dismemberment tied to skills made it tricky, so that aspect could use more testing. Of course, now a person can just not take those skills in the first place...

Updated for Alpha 18.

Hey, thanks for working on this mod and keeping it going over the years. Do the strippers not spawn anything now or do you have it switch out for a different zombie? I switched mine to Darlene. I disabled the dismembering but there is still a lot of blood flying everywhere when the zombies are hit. I didn't see in your code if you found a fix for that. Particleondeath?

[JaithWraith]

Its my wife's favorite game so I try to keep editing. I just realized other people actually use it so I plan on getting updates out much, much faster.

I did the same for the stripper and reverted her to Darlene. :) I commented out the Mesh value so it would pull the mesh from the extension (aka Darlene) but otherwise has the stripper's stats.

For the spraying blood you can switch "organic" in "SurfaceCategory" to something else. In my first attempt I just emptied the field but there was no confirmation sound or animation to tell you if you hit or missed. Now my code uses "earth" so it makes a "thud" and little balls of dirt come out for each hit. I think metal and wood are other possible choices.

Hah, yeah I am sure there are dozens of us, Dozens! People seem to have a my way or the highway mentality about blood and nudity. That is a great idea about changing the SurfaceCategory! If you find a way to change the "organic" to have flowers shoot out let me know. My Dad played Gears of War with that and loved it.

well i want survivalism nudity option in this game like how Rust ,conan exiles or other games like that has...
Then i agree with this option too..

Is this gonna be updated for alpha 20e or even just alpha 20 when its full released, I got a friend I want to play with but they are worried there is gonna be too much blood for them to be able to play.

[JaithWraith]

As soon as A20 hits stable I will have to look around the code and work on an update. My wife will be poking me so she can play her favorite game so this will be very high on my list.
