BM Mod - Gates of Hell

Description


From the original author of a popular mod for Men of War!
Limbs and wailings will fly high above the burning battlefield, blood will flow through the misshapen landscape, air will thicken with gunpowder and death - the Gates of Hell are wide open in this reworked conversion of the 2011 classics!



- Explosives and vehicles have a chance of ripping a soldier apart on contact
- Blood decals have been reworked, adding more variety and subtle details
- The number of decals, debris and bodies have been increased, along with their lifetime
- Original handmade 3D models and textures based on vanilla game
- NEW! You can pick up some of the body parts and throw them at your enemies, or just store them on your belt as a trophy

* This mod disables unlocking of Achievements
** Did my best to optimize all values, model complexity, and texture size to have a minimal impact on game performance



Multiplayer compatibility has been confirmed by one of the subcribers*
*although I haven't tested it myself

this mod works for me in multiplayer with my friend @xzTWINzx, last night we ran it alongside the Boikovo map mod other than those 2 mods we were running it vanilla

Only a handful of files has been edited, and BM Mod should work fine with other mods that do not alter materials' properties.
You are welcome to leave a comment in case of compatibility issues, and I will look into it. Screenshots of the crash message or in-game bugs are very welcome too.

Always load/activate as the last mod on your list ( Main menu --> Extras ).

- Get a Valour compatible version here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2923019121

- Cold War/Hotmod 1968 should be working fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Conquest Enhanced V2 reported to be incompatible with BM Mod. Testing needed.

- Battlefield is incompatible with BM Mod.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The chance of corpse/body explosion depends on the blast power or vehicle size and a flat 30% chance when explosion is triggered. In other words, small AP grenades or a motorbike will cause way fewer explosions, in comparison to a 150 mm HE shell or a heavy tank.

Currently, the following mod options are available:

"___high_res_textures"
Copy and overwrite to try high resolution textures for the bodyparts.

Location of the textures:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\400750\2922646932
( to make sure you are in the correct folder, you can open a file called "preview.jpg" - it will show the same "BM Mod" image as on Steam workshop page )






- Updated to the latest game version

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Read the update notes for details on earlier versions.

Enjoy, leave comments and report issues!

@Armpit_Sweat Ah.. Any other way you can get it to me? Or perhaps you could upload old version to your workshop as a "old" version?

Do you have any older versions available? I still play 1.049, and using the current version just instantly crashes on activation.

Thank you for the update, much appreciated!

@Armpit_Sweat Thanks, I totally skimmed right over that!

Also thank you for keeping this updated, it’s one of my essential mods :)

@Spooky Nerdist
There is a guide on how to reduce the number of decals and/or their lifetime. The link is in the end of the mod description above.
That being said, i will try to find time to run some tests - i have noticed that vanilla blood sprites were changed, so that might be contributing to the lag.
There is an enforced total limit on decals and body parts in the mod - so it shouldnt lag more than it used to before the last update. Unless the vanilla decals were updated with much higher resolution or somesuch.

Love the mod but I'm gonna have to find an alternative due to how laggy it is. When enough decals/gibs get piled up in one place the FPS drops to the single digits when looking at it. :(

Does this work with Pacific Fury?
