Ceres Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Dear developers and community, Is it possible to make certain colours (e.g. blood red ) transparent "on-the-fly", i.e. while the game runs and without the need to recreate or redraw the involved (slayn) units? I am aware of a no-violence mod, but it disabled all kinds of attacks. I only would like to make the red blood spots "invisible" for the kids. If I remember correctly, somebody explained that recreating all gfx files (thousands?) in this regard is just too cumbersome (and I fully agree), but maybe doing some "in-game magic" with adjusting certain colours to being transparent could be a solution? For another mod? Is this the right place for this topic? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It's also possible to split the no violence mod in noblood mod (the one I made in A23) and the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freagarach Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The noviolence mod does nothing to art, it only disables all attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't @nani's Autociv mod the solution you are looking for? Under "Options" set "Graphics: Corpses max" to zero. Graphics: Corpses max = 0 zero.mp4 Graphics: Corpses max = 100 hundred.mp4 Edited August 18, 2021 by Langbart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks for your hints! Indeed, the no-violence mod disables all attacks, but I was not aware of a no-blood mod and did not test yet the autociv mod. The latter does not yet work with a52 RC 2, though. https://0ad.mod.io/autociv Edited August 18, 2021 by Ceres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks once more to all of you! For other interested readers, please consider also the autociv mod version available there: https://github.com/nanihadesuka/autociv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 @Stan` Thanks for reminding about your mod and sorry that I lost track a bit by focusing on the autociv mod - both are great! And I understood that showing less blood and corpses improves game performance. In your words: "Blood kills performance" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) @Stan` When I open the "no-blood-and-gore-mod.pyromod" file (downloaded to my Windows desktop) with the "pyrogenesis.exe" file, the mods window opens but nothing else, i.e. the mod does not show up as installed or to be installed. What am I missing? Thanks for your help! PS: Oh my bad, I just had to save and restart, of course! Sorry to have stirred the boat.
