============== Enhanced Blood Textures By: dDefinder ============== ============== Description ============== Bloodier combat experience for both player and npcs with higher resolution and d etailed textures with additional features such as decapitated spasms, blood drop s when low health, blood pools, green blood for spiders and oil for machines. I use and have modified pauderek's bleeding scripts from "A simple bleeding mod" s ince version 1.2. ============== NOTES ============== Please read the FAQ before posting issues Patch 1.9 may have reset your decal amount options which causes blood not to app ear. The graphic option is found inside the Skyrim launcher option. Skyrim needs to be updated to v1.9. Use only one Compatibility patch! The bsa only contains jonwd7's brawl bug patch. You can remove it to use the sta ndalone patch instead or if another mod has also included the patch, such as SKY RE. ENB, FXAA Injector, and lighting mods will have noticeable effects on blood colo r which may appear differently than intended. Use darker or brighter blood color optional files to adjust it. Different locations in the game will also alter th e blood color such as indoor areas tend to be brighter than outdoors. Do not use DDSopt on "screenbloodcolor01opt" files. Black boxes will appear alon g with screen blood. Do not optimize the nif files or the game will crash when you decap someone.
