[LFS] Genes Expanded - Blood

@majorinconvenience, im not to sure what you mean? you can choose a bunch of bloods and it will choose randomly from them, but skin and hair are random on spawn only if it doesn't already have blood.

is there a way to make bloodtype randomized like how you can do with horns, skin colors and hair colors?

@imperlor the patch i posted will do everything, as the blood filth already has a graphic data tab with `<color>(243, 240, 143)</color>` so they just need to hook into that the same, as thats what VE gives us, would make it compatiable with lots of mods if done that way

Is this more or less the patch format that you'd ideally have access to?

<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationSequence">
<operations>
<li Class="PatchOperationReplace">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="GEB_Filth_Yellowfin_BloodSmear"]/graphicData/graphicClass</xpath>
<value>
<graphicClass>BloodDries.Graphics.ColoredGraphic_ClusterTight</graphicClass>
</value>
</li>
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="GEB_Filth_Yellowfin_BloodSmear"]/graphicData</xpath>
<value>
<color>(0.97, 0.95, 0.5)</color> <!-- example -->
</value>
</li>
</operations>
</Operation>
</Patch>

Ah, I think I understand what you mean. I can't fully wrap my head around the code, if I could I'd be helping to make a fork and pull request, but I think I understand the logic. You can patch it on your end such that Blood Dries latches onto the new filth defs, but there is no way to control the color as the blood dries, right?

I will share that info with the Blood Dries dev. They seem pretty skilled, it might not be too complex for them to spaghetti this one additional parameter.

@Imperlor you can find what i mean with this screeny

@imperlor I have identfied why this is breaking, long story short, it spawns in a cusom blood graphic which needs to be setup for each blood type....

This is alot of work to patch so its going to take some time. one of the major issues is even with my patch, the blood is red and I have no way of implementing color, this more than likely will require you to contact the auther of `Blood Dries' and see if he will implement color value that i can hook into otherwise i can't really patch it 100%

```
<Operation Class="PatchOperationReplace">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="GEB_Filth_Yellowfin_BloodSmear"]/graphicData/graphicClass</xpath>
<value>
<graphicClass>BloodDries.Graphics.ColoredGraphic_ClusterTight</graphicClass>
</value>
</Operation>
```

Each blood type needs a patch like this, and a way for the RBG of the blood to be changed, which

Here you go, the page also has a link to the source code too. Honestly, thank you a lot for looking into it. I tested removing Blood Dries and that fixes the missing texture issue. The cause might have to do with the contents of the Graphics_Cluster_Patch.xml file. I have no idea why this mod breaks blood smears but not normal blood, but honestly Rimworld modding is still rather arcane black magic to me. lol

@imperior HMmm im unable to replicate it on my side with just my mod, could you please link the blood dries mod, I think the blood dries is causing the issue here. as I personally use Yayo and blood animations with no issues.

It might require patching from my side, which if it does Il have an update for it.

I opened dev mode, and used the inspector, the filth that is glitching is called "IronOre Blood Smear", that is for those orange blooded impids that otherwise used Orange Blood. In the log I noticed this suspicious line "CloneColored not implemented on this subclass of Graphic: Verse.Graphic_ClusterTight" that might be related?
