📋 About This Mod

Blood enchantment for more satisfying kills and deaths.

Ver. 2 brings even 300% more blood , higher quality texture and much more gore customization options

(including  DarkSouls , DarkSouls 2 , BloodBorn splatters).

Installation:

Just copy all files inside BloodyGoreSouls folder to:

GeDoSaTo/textures/DarkSoulsII/override/

iGP11/tex_override

Options installation:

With this version comes also new optional customization options.

There 3 main categories (core, particle and splash) and you can use just one, two or tree of them at once.

Further the splash category have next 4 options - form which you pick your favorite one.

But it not ends there all of them have 3 levels of gore indicated in extension - dds1 > dds2 > dds3

Whats left to do is copy your picks to:

GeDoSaTo/textures/DarkSoulsII/override/

and change theres file extension to .dds ( .dds"x" to .dds  where "x" is gore level number)

Sound complicated but in practice is really easy - just look at few example sets below to get the idea how it works:

Default                       Example1                 Example2                 Example3                  Example4             Example5

c - lv2               ][       c - lv3               ][      c - lv1               ][      c --------            ][      c - lv3           ][      c - lv1

p - lv2               ][       p - lv2              ][      p ------             ][      p --------            ][     p --------       ][      p - lv2

s - bbA - lv2     ][       s - ds1 - lv1      ][      s - ds2 - lv3     ][      s - bbB - lv1      ][      s --------       ][      s - bbA - lv3

c == core      p == particle        s == splash        lvx == gore dds level      bbA/ds2/etc == splash types

fast installation uses configuration shown in first from the left example set
