Human NPCs started to blow up into yellow gibs today for some reason

k good, so it's just something with how SNPCs are made

not from what I can see.

i've also wondered, is this happening with the base HL2 humans?

honestly that's better than humans making yellow blood, plus they canonically have grey blood so even yellow isn't really accurate.

i guess, but stuff like striders and hunters are set to no blood aswell so they would make red gibs

oh. maybe you could make it check if the variable is (whatever yellow blood is) and anything else uses red?

@killermonkey75 i think i know what causes VJ npcs to make alien gibs, is they probably have their blood colour set to -1 ( aka no blood ), and all the mod does is check whether or not the variable is 0 ( red blood ), so anything that doesn't have red blood will make yellow gibs

maybe you could add a setting to turn off yellow gibs as a whole, just for people like me who use more human npcs than aliens.

huh, I guess that makes sense, but I still wonder what causes VJ npcs to use yellow blood.

@killermonkey75 i apologize if this is a long message.
the colour of gibs is based on the owner's blood variable, player spawned ragdolls use the material data, but things like VJ base stuff ( as i've found ) make yellow gibs. I don't assign things specific colours because that would take awhile also the goal was to make it more dynamic. I am going to add the ability to change an NPC class or model's gib colour maybe in the next update.

I've noticed gibs for unidentified ragdolls seem to default to yellow, do you think you could change that to red pls?

i dunno

does this work with advanced bonemerg?

YOU USED THE DUSK DOUBLE BARREL!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dunno, it's not an issue i've had so i'm not sure how to fix it, unless you had a mod that effects blood colours in some way

Why are human gibs yellow and not red

@alex or synergy gibs

this would go hard with smod gibs

we need tf2 gibs next

weird, not sure why that would be happening unless you had a mod that is conflicting with it

yes

prob not

@Bluekrakan will there be gibs from Synergy?

@michael do you have keep corpses on

hell yeah, dark interval-esque

ooh, serverside player ragdoll only? does that mean jmod compatibility? Since it has an option to make player ragdolls serversided

nothing gibs at all, though i have no errors

(I think I've said this before, but if I have, I'll say it again because I'm not sure if I was heard.)

I wonder if you could create a list that users can use to replace models when gibbing, down to having specific models and options for gibs based on an entity's model and skin for gibs?

Also if an NPC is gibbed via a disintegrating damage type, could you code the gibs to disintegrate?

BRO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ADDON WITH SAME HL1 GIBBING-

i also just added it because 1: it doesn't take much to add it, and 2: it should've been a feature from the start

sick I'll keep an eye out for it!

not currently at the moment, though i was thinking of incorporating something to make only explosive damage gib stuff

Is there a way to make it so only explosive damage causes gibbing? At the moment shots from the revolver make people explode lmao

also fun fact: this happened with striders so i had to impliment a workaround for them

i'll look into it thanks

@Bluekrakan I found that the error occurs when the headcrab is not dead, and also when killing the example nextbot

options menu was already planned, flesh gibs do use a flesh material it's just a modified one and it changes colour already (unless something broke on me without realising), was maybe thinking only from explosion damage, and yea i feel it could use improvements, though you would have to have hl1 mounted to hear the sounds.

Alright here are five ideas I have for you

1 - Adding an options menu could be helpful for some players
2 - If possible add an option to make gibs only appear from explosions
3 - Flesh gibs should use a flesh material and change color based on the NPC
4 - Maybe improve the particle effects not sure exactly how but there's room for improvement
5 - Add gibbing sounds similar to HL2 with an option to switch to HL1 sounds instead

Yes I know the version is "3.2" right now but I'm just giving ideas in case you might want to use them in your addon

sure

May I can give some ideas for your mod?

finally

this is amazing and i love it

NICEEEE

@ink05448 i also encountered that error a few times but found it was rare enough to not priotitize it, though currently not sure why it happens

i'll try doin that, thanks for the tip

turn the blacklist into a file that's written to via a menu, making it one big cvar is a headache and a half and might solve that cross session issue you're having
