📋 About This Mod

Increases the resolution size from 256 to 1024 and created new textures for screen, world, wounds and static blood decals. Esps are used to increase the size appearance of the blood, adjustments for screenblood, add more giblets and new wounds related to the weapon type. ini will change max amount and lifetime for blood that is in the world space.

Blood/gib color may appear differently than intended if you are using any lighting or weather mods.

This mod is included in FOOK2 although it's an older version and missing unique wounds, proper blood size, and newer textures. Esps can be loaded after FOOK but the screen blood and splatters in the environment will still be under control of FOOK2. Problems such as very large screen splatters and taking a very long time to be remove. There is a way to make it appear like it should be.(This may or may not work such as blood will appear small instead)

-First press and hold "o" until a menu pops up.

-go to FOSE Dependent options and features

-then Blood Settings

-select Normal

If you have issue with Decap Splatters not working try disabling anti-aliasing. This is a game engine problem that will apply noise filter on the outer edges of these textures. This will affect all particle effects including muzzle flashes and explosions. This problem was fixed in an earlier game patch I believe it is 1. 2 but then broke again around 1. 5 patch.

If you notice wounds not appearing it could be that you are using a body mod. It depends if the body mod is made to support wounds properly. Even without this mod, wounds will not appear.

Random flashing white dot on blood. This is an ATI video card issue default blood will have the same affect.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the ESPs in your load order after other texture mods to ensure they take effect.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the file structure and avoid overwriting issues.
  • Check your VRAM usage — 1024 textures are heavier than vanilla, so monitor performance in heavy combat scenes.
