[MoW] Blood mod for MoW MP BETA

[Hero_Swe]

So there i was, sitting around doing nothing when i decided to start looking into MoW's files and see how much it had changed from FoW's, originally i wanted to port jack's unit cap mod to Mow but that turned out to be way over my head, so i turned to something simpler, AWBOB's Blood mod


all players you play with must have it if you have it enabled.

Special Thanks to AWBOB and Unsobill.

Apparently there are some code i Human.inc file that can cause random out of syncs and problems still. So if you get problems (or if you use Vista) remove the set folder



1.Just put the mods folder in your main directory of mow (should look something like this D:\Program Files\Men of War MP Beta)
2.Go into options and enable the Blood mod!
3.Make a bloody mess on every map! :yes:


Update:New version. should fix the out of synch error

Seems to make the game go out of sync.

[Hero_Swe]

Indeed, i am looking into the problem right now

EDIT:New version is up


EDIT2:Confirmed working wonderfully, should have no out of synchs now because of mod.

2 Things.

First, You can use the original Mod for FoW without changing anything for Men of War.

Secondly, its a Mod, so you wont be able to play with people who doesn't have it, so you can't remove the De-Sync problem.

That's what a port is isn't it?

No, the out of synch was caused by an old file that should not have been in the place it was. Causing corruption and out of syncs.

Oh and i also already stated "all players you play with must have it if you have it enabled." <--- So you can disable it in options and play with others

Its fine that, but you cannot call it a port when you just can copy the folder from FoW to MoW mods folder.

"In programming, to port (verb) is to move an application program from an operating system environment in which it was developed to another operating system environment so it can be run there. Porting implies some work, but not nearly as much as redeveloping the program in the new environment"


There was work involved. But what i don't understand is why you are so insisting on trying to undermine what i have done here? I only did this so people can enjoy a little more grittier MoW until the full game comes out. Does it anger you that i did it and not you?

Hey, Hey, HEY!
I was informing people about it, AND since I said that you could just copy/paste the whole folder I must have done it already. If your trying to tell me that I'm incompetent, then Good Luck.
Say what you want :)

btw, you haven't done anything either. So what you call "porting" have never been done.
You have just been doing what I said.
I compared "yours" with this one: http://files.filefront.com/bloodzip/;94 ... einfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/bloodzip/;9425832;/fileinfo.html) , which I've had on my Filefront account for some time now and the file sizes are exactly the same. The only thing you've done is that you haven't compressed as much as one could.

Oh, you've changed the mod.info file...
So this is really just something you credit yourself for nothing.
This is all AWBOB's work, not unsobill(He just posted it on the forums, thanks for that.) and therefore he only has Credit for it! You've credited the wrong persons, maybe Google a bit before doing something helps?

[Hero_Swe]

I see...Well Credit is due where credit is deserved, i shall change that then


While from your perspective it seems that i have done little work, and while that might be true to some sense, don't you think it has done something? If i got atleast one person to enjoy more blood (which i know some do) then my mission was a success, but the point of the whole endeavour was to give the players a choice, more blood or not. I have given them that.


While obviously both you and i know what had to be done. Some may don't and as in the nature of humans, we are greedy and like attention. It was only in my natural instincts that i tried.


I'd hate to see this topic decay into a flame war. Orrie, would you please bring this up in Private message next time?

I sincerely hope the next reply about this topic is about the mod itself and how it affected your game. if you had any problems with it or if you just want to say thanks

I'll say its great that you post it here, so people know its working, but didn't not flame.
Lets just take down or Waraxes and sharpen them till we meat on the Battlefield, shall we? :)

(Btw, updating the limbs would be a great fix to the mod). :yes:
