Blood?

[Mailman653]

I'm not sure if this goes here or not, but how do you enable or disable blood in the game?

I've recently d/l and updated to patch 1.2 but so far 40+ turns into my campaign, during battles I see virtually no blood on the uniforms, everyone leaves battle just the way they came in, nice and clean

The only time I see blood is when an arror hits someone and its just a small puff which I recall from 1.1, but not even after the arrow does there blood appear on the clothing.

Its one of the graphics settings that turns it on/off. Forgot which one, but I think it might be shader or unit details.
At least I remember when I once fooled around with the medieval2.preferences.cfg and set shader = 1 to shader = 0 (an actually invalid option), my units started showing blood splatters. Might have been another setting though, its been way back during 1.0 times.

Yes your right, I changed it to shaders 2 and now I got blood, thanks.

I might be wrong, as I have played this game on three different comps with three different graphics settings, but I THINK that the blood effect as far as stains etc are due to the level of texture and other settings you have your machine set too... like I said, I might be completely wrong, but I am 99.9% sure thats how it works.
