Zens Blood Trail

Description
What Is This?

This mod adds persistent blood drips when players are bleeding, making them trackable.

The blood drips persist between server restarts etc like any object in-game.

The chance of blood drips and the time persistence of them is configurable.

Installation Instructions:

Install this mod like any other mod - copy it into your server folder and add it to your mods list. Make sure to copy the .bikey into your server keys if you're not using a server management tool like OmegaManager which does that automatically.

This server must be run on both the client and the server.

A JSON config file for adjusting the blood drip settings will be automatically created in server_profiles/Zenarchist/ZenBloodDripsConfig.json - the chance of blood drips is triggered every ~3 seconds server-side.

Repack & Source Code:

You can repack this mod if you like, and do anything else you want with it for that matter. The source code is on my GitHub at www.zenarchist.com

Buy Me A Coffee / Contact Me:

All my mods are free and open source, but it takes an enormous amount of time to put some of these mods together. If I've helped you out, please consider helping me buy my next coffee! I don't expect it, but I very much appreciate it.

To contact me you can send me a message there too - I get an insane amount of messages so it's the best way for me to filter out the noise and focus on people who are willing to support my work with a coffee first:

Just came back to confirm, the visual glitch is in fact a result the clutter cutter. Watching the footage back in slow motion, the abrupt flash is the exaggerated radius of the foliage disappearing and reappearing when the blood decal appears on the ground.

Wait so you can actually track wildlife with this mod here? I thought wildlife could not bleed

As of today I've noticed a rather bad visual glitch/error. Whenever a bloodstain appears on the ground, a sizable radius around the blood decal abruptly flashes. This occurs with both players and wildlife (at least with bears). I want to say it has to do with the clutter cut, give the similar size of the glitch and the size of the clutter taken away... Which on a side note is a bit excessive in size. Just thought I would share this with you.
Thanks for the recent tutorials on YouTube btw, they are amazing.

How performance heavy this can get if the blood is persistant?

@Ash Williams У меня в Inedia почему-то не хочет оставлять кровавый след. Ни зомби, ни звери. Видно, как кровь хлещет из раны. Есть лужа крови под мертвым телом. Но, когда перемещается раненый зверь/зомби/человек - на полу капель нет, чтобы отследить.
this is better then install the stuped inedia mod since you need to turn of ALL 1000 another settings becuse you only need this one...Great mod :)

@splinter.fenix yes. you can shoot an animal and be able to track it with the blood trail on the ground. Not knocking Zens blood trail, I am sure its great but InediaInfected is great

@Ash Williams От животных там кровь остается на земле, разве?
