Blood patch not working and V 1.1 patch.

Post by Rufes222 »

I downloaded the blood patch and I dont see any blood. Why? And I downloaded the 1.1 patch to and it says its loaded but it is not showing it when I load the game it still says 1.0 and it is not loaded because I alost tried to speed up the battle and it does not work witch means the patch is not installed. Does anyone have this problem? :?

About the mod: be sure you extract the files to the right place (see readme.txt)

Patch:
Have you extracted the Data.pak file? If so, the patch will indeed not work. Why? Well, the patch installs a new .pak file on your computer: Data1.pak. But the game will first search for extracted files, and then for .pak files. Extracted files override .pak files. Just extract the Data1.pak, you can find it in the installation folder.

You have to open the downloaded IG_BloodPatch.zip. There is a readme file inside, as well as a folder called "Effects." Extract them both to the installation folder of the game.

I had the same problem so what I did was this:

1) I had all my files extraxted already and had the blood mod installed into the directory where it goes.

2) When you install the patch, if you go to the main IG folder, there will be a new file there called Data1.pak.

3) I extraced the contents of that new file and placed all the files that were in there into the coresponding folders

4) Ran the game, I had the 1.1 at the bottom of my screen and the blood fully functional.

The only possible cause is that you've installed them to the wrong directory.

I am certain they are in the right folder, even tested it by running "extract here" again and it asked if i wanted to replace the files that already exsisted in the effects/batallia folder. i feel that maybe the version i have (CD) has an edited .sb file that takes the command away to run these files,

even veiwing the battles on -8 with a magnifying glass shows not one drop of Claret.

It has nothing to do with a .sb file or something. Adding the files should do the trick.
Can you perhaps check if it works in the demo? In this case the files go to [InstallDir]\FSCommand\Effects\Batalla though.

Sorry, I missed your reply before.
The blood looks weird indeed in the demo version. Why it wont work in the full game, I honestly don't know. :?

yah.. I get the red squares in the demo version as well, but absolutely nothing in the full game.. I've tried several experiments between the demo and retail game files to see if I could get it to even partially work in the retail, but most of those effects files are identicle for both.. I'm totally stumped.. and everything is in SPANISH >_<

does anyone know for sure where mention of these muerte files are in the game code?.. I can't find any refrence to Muertesoldado in any sb files.. maybe something differs in our versions that refuse to work (like they ommited the code which links the files to the game?) I've done a complete re-install with a clean install of the mod... still nothing..

Some how I had it working, but the patch didnt work.

A month or two ago I did a fresh install of IG, then the patch. Now the patch works, but no blood. Seems like its one or the other for me at least.
