Before you open a bug report, please remove all other mods and try again. I do not support installs that skip shader compilation or any other config tweaks. If this comment says "STILL WORKING" then it is still working on a vanilla install with no other mods

This mod replaces the blocky blood wallmarks in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with splash-style wallmarks and doubles the trace distance, making blood splatters look more realistic and visible from farther away. It's a simple visual enhancement for players who want more immersive gore effects.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge popularity with over 120k downloads and 2.1k endorsements, so it's proven to work well for many players
- Simple visual upgrade that makes blood splatters look more natural and less blocky
- Doubling trace distance means you'll spot blood trails from further away, which is handy for tracking wounded enemies
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects blood wallmarks, so if you're looking for a broader visual overhaul, this won't cover other effects
- May not be compatible with other mods that alter blood textures or decals, so check your mod list
This is for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. players who want more realistic and visible blood splatters without a heavy performance hit. If you're a fan of immersion and don't mind a small tweak, this is a quick win. It's also great for players who use other visual mods and want to enhance the gore factor.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base game updated to the latest version before installing this mod.
- If you're using other texture mods, install this one last to avoid conflicts with blood decals.
- Test the mod in a firefight to see the improved blood splatters and trace distance in action.
