If anyone still cares, I figured out how to prevent the bodies from disappearing. Leave these settings to 1:

violence_hgibs 1
violence_agibs 1

But keep:

bm_gib_on_health_below -10000

This way the game thinks there will be gibs and keeps the bodies around for the show, but the limit on the health variable prevents the gibs from ever actually occurring. Personally, I just ended up only using the "bm_gib_on_health_below -10000" in my cfg file and none of the other variables. This way you can have the blood spurts when you shoot someone, but you don't have to watch bodies explode. I feel like it helps me know when I actually hit my target too :)

emmm.. why the ragdolls disappear?

Hey I really love the mod, and wanna thank you for taking the time to make it. I just have a 2 tiny itty bitty nitpick. can you make so the bodies don't just disappear into thin air when terminated. I love seeing rag-dolls mainly because of the awkward placements they can get in. BTW some folks myself included had trouble figuring out how to properly install this. someone was kind enough to make a video. Again really love the mod. You Rock.:p2chell: :steamthumbsup:

When more gore mod?
CombineSoldier14 Jul 30, 2022 @ 10:17am 
I get that this is good for little kids who play, but black mesa isn't the same without those sweet sweet gibs and blood

This mod is good, but I hate how the ragdolls disappear. Can it be updated so that:

1. Ragdolls don't vanish.

2. When you blow an NPC apart, instead of them disappearing because there aren't any gibs to appear, make them ragdoll.

I just did this by searching and replacing everything about `gib`

Hey, I know it's been a while but this mod is nice for anyone who doesn't like gore or is simply playing in front of younger ones. It works, however I needed to put the nogore.vpk into the custom folder like you said. I don't really mind blood much, which is why I'm fine with playing HL2 without modifications. What I don't like is gibbing. Don't really like limbs and organs flying around - which is worse in this game due to the updated graphics. Is there a way to get a mod that only disables gibbing? Mostly don't like the headcrab zombie texture and I find soldiers ragdolling in the air funny.

Is it possible to remove lens flare from the game? I

does this mod make it so that I dont see most blood and gore effects?
Punyrock Mar 27, 2021 @ 10:37pm 
the blood's fine, but i think the gibbing looks bad in this game. i assume i can selectively disable gibs?

If you don't want blood and gore in Half-Life games, either play Half-Life 1 and enable the child safe mode, or don't even buy it.
Tobey1 Oct 1, 2020 @ 4:48pm 
now make the exact opisite and make every time you shot somebody its a fountain of blood
AnomalousBob Aug 24, 2020 @ 1:20pm 
@Lieutenant Thighgap There are people who find the presence of blood disturbing or uncomfortable. They can be okay with, you know, causing mass murder but not to see the blood.

I myself am okay with blood presence or slight gore, but I am glad somebody put this to help this small percentage of people who can't play the game due to the blood in it :bms_headcrab:

> you'd just be doing what it does with the cvars. No, the cvars do not remove blood all over the walls, on zombies, on corpses etc. Trust me, I tried :)
Vacher Jul 30, 2020 @ 6:40pm 
why would you even want this mod.

4th earl of sandwich Jul 2, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
with all the cvars it seems like the addon doesnt do anything

Hi thank you so much for this, I am enjoying Black Mesa a lot but the intense blood/gore kind of makes my stomach sick/queasy and this fixed it for me!!! I really appreciate it.

Update: I got it working! The problem was that my customs folder wasn't properly set up ^^;
Chess Piece Face Jan 11, 2020 @ 1:48pm 
thank you!
Mad Dog Kenrod  [author] Jan 11, 2020 @ 1:42pm 
Also need to manually set cvars:

violence_hgibs 0
violence_hblood 0
violence_agibs 0
violence_ablood 0
bloodspray 0
cl_mdldetailfx_enable 0
bm_gib_on_health_below -10000

Can you do with only blood but without gore?
Chess Piece Face Jan 10, 2020 @ 10:42pm 
I tried, but it didn't seem to change anything. However, I found no_gore.vpk under steamapps/workshop/content/362890/1965627016/no_gore.vpk. Is that the same file you meant?
Mad Dog Kenrod  [author] Jan 10, 2020 @ 9:16pm 
Can you try moving the VPK to a 'custom' folder?

1. Create a custom folder under steamapps/common/Black Mesa/bms/custom
2. Copy the VPK from steamapps/workshop/362890/nogore.vpk into there

I just loaded up the chapter "unforseen consequences" and I like it a lot! This was my least favorite chapter because it had so much gore but now it just looks like they turn into charcoal, which I find much better. It makes the game much more enjoyable. :D
Some notes: when people explode you can still see their torsos and severed limbs, which is not ideal. It's good that the blood is censored, but I wish the body parts could be replaced with a different model altogether, like a chair or something. Also, the barnacles seem to spit out normal bones, but that's not a huge issue to me. Overall, great job!
Mad Dog Kenrod  [author] Jan 10, 2020 @ 8:09pm 
Thanks! I've never made a mod before, so please test it. Specifically it should:

1. replace a bunch of textures
2. set violence_hgibs/violence_hblood/violence_agibs/violence_agibs/bloodspray and other cvars to 0
Chess Piece Face Jan 10, 2020 @ 8:05pm 
This rules! Thanks so much for making this! :D
