D.I.R.T. - Blood Textures

Description
D.I.R.T. - Blood Compatibility Mod (Example Extension)

This is an example compatibility mod for D.I.R.T. (Diwako's Immersive Realtime Textures)[github.com], showcasing how to add custom dynamic texture layers — in this case, blood effects.

Using the D.I.R.T. framework, this mod applies real-time blood textures to a unit's uniform when they take damage. It serves both as an immersive gameplay feature and a reference implementation for other modders who want to extend D.I.R.T. with their own dynamic visuals.



🩸 Features
• Adds dynamic blood textures to the uniform of injured units
• Uses D.I.R.T.'s optimized system for smooth transitions
• Fully configurable via the Addon Options menu

Diwako, Jession there is a mod here that adds "Wardrobe - outfit Systems". You can add stuff that moves with the unit, without blocking slots. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3352708204 Maybe you can use to add visible bandages etc.

Can only regulate how fast the blood increases and decreases.
The mod is however open source, feel free to contribute.

Can we regulate the amount of the blood shown? Sometimes they almost not hurt and they are full of blood. besides that, love it!

Ok

It is not possible to apply textures to a unit without uniform it seems.
Jesion 29 Jul @ 3:28am 
Ok thanks for the answer. I have a different idea I came up - Is this texture system possible to be applied to "bare bodies"? I mean, I take off uniform and see a burn effect on skin – all the units (mostly) use the same body, so theoretically, if we could add a mechanic for removing or cutting clothes, we'd have a body model with textures for all units no matter the equipment they use. The question is, can Arma's UI2Texture be applied to bare bodies, or does it only work as an overlay only on uniforms and equipment?
diwako  [author] 28 Jul @ 12:23pm 
With the current system? Not possible. You will need to know exactly where each part of the body is on the texture. Since there are thousands of different uniform models and textures around, it is kind of impossible.

It is a lot easier at this point to just go with a model solution and attach a custom model to the unit instead, because there you know where each limb and the head are.

Hi there.
On the ACM (Advanced Combat Medicine) discored channel, an idea was raised in feature to create visual effects showing a soldier wearing a bandage or tactical tourniquet - 3d model stacked to soldier is rather imposible. But this thread actually reminded me of your project DIRT. Do you think it's possible to create bandage or tourniquet textures that would be applied as a top layer to the unit when the tourniquet or dressing is applied to the soldier via ACM? I don't know how deep this system works and how precisely the Arma engine recognizes individual body parts - I assume that probably only the left/right arm or leg, torso and head are possible?
