How to create no blood mod for DS2

Submitted by RadekNeli1987 on Sat, 2020-07-04 02:00

I played this game more then 10 years ago with no blood mod (i just can't stand blood) but now this mod is unavailable on internet anymore.
What I checked so far:
1. No option for no blood in game options like in DS1.
2. No customisable ini for that.
3. No file to delete without Siege Editor 2 (i don't even know how to use it).
4. No mod anywhere (i checked even in Russian language).
So the only option for me is to modify game or make a mod to play it.
Anyone know what to do?.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi RadekNeli1987. As of right now I am not aware of any mod still in existence that provides the no blood option like DS1 did. However I think if you give the people that hang out here some time to look and think. Someone could have a copy of that mod or could give you clues or directions on how to add that to DS2

Hello RadekNeli

With Dungeon Siege 1 and Dungeon Siege Tool Kit (DSLOAMod.exe): Executable function: BOOL GORE (Toggle Gore and Blood (default Gore ON)
With Dungeon Siege 2 and Dungeon Siege II Tool Kit (DungeonSiege2Mod.exe): I don't know because don't work very well with my PC snif
But both you must have the Dungeon Siege (1 or/and 2) CD in your CD-ROM drive in order to use the DSMod.exe, DSLOAMod.exe and DungeonSiege2Mod.exe ...
For the last one, I think the program don't work with DS2 Broken World snif

Anyway you can find inside Logic.ds2res and/or xLogic.ds2res ... sentences with words GORE and/or BLOOD. And make some changes but be careful (make copy first)

I add a file call: Release Executable Readme File.htm (zip file) (for Dungeon Siege Tool Kit). I have no Release Executable Readme File.htm for DS 2 snif

I have both DS games with expansions on DVDs, so it's with Broken World installed.
I will check what I can change in logic.ds2res if its possible to open it in Broken World.
Thanks for helping hand.

----------------------------

1) DungeonSiege2Mod.exe is inside "Dungeon Siege II Tool Kit" (program File (x86)) only after install "Dungeon Siege II Official Tool Kit v1.1.exe (13,1 Mo)
2) Must install first Dungeon Siege 2 inside "program file (x86)" ... and after any directory but always on your C
3) Just install DS2 (no Broken World)
4) I just install it (Dungeon Siege II Tool Kit) with no problem. I install few months ago DS2 inside C:\GAMES ... with Broken World
5) But like I said before "DungeonSiege2Mod.exe" don't work for me (didn't like my stupid donkey Broken World lol)
6) That help to delete completely DS2 from Steam or GOG. Use only your DVD
7) Good luck

Hello again. I installed DSII Broken World on c:\program files but it also do not allow me to install toolkit, so I can't create no blood mod, also I don't have this game without broken world (it always install as broken world) so I can't do a think, any ideas?

Again I just install "Dungeon Siege II Official Tool Kit v1.1.exe" with success (and I have Broken World installed) ... but the stupid "DungeonSiege2Mod.exe" don't work: I have a stupid message: "Gathering Exception Data" (Flick compiler error (like 20 times loll)). I try again with no mods!

With No Mods: same problem!!
Note: Flick compiler error: about a command call Sleep (?!?!?)

I have the extracted blood images from DS2 on my spare hard drive, if you know how to use a paint program and make the blood invisible I'll upload them on the interweb for you, there's 63 of them in total, it should only take you about an hour or so to do them.

If you'd like to know where they are you'll find them in Objects\Art\Bitmaps\Sfx

Hello. I've checked if I have objects/art/bitmaps/sfx and I don't even have objects folder and when I searched entire game directory it only founded objects... file (not folder) having over 200mb so I don't even know how to upload those modded blood images I could create into the game. Thanks in advance for answer.

You need to extract the blood files from the DS2\Resources\Objects.dsres, If you are going to do some modding you can get the proper tools for the job from the link, you'll need Tank Viewer 2 for Windows 7 and 8 to extract the blood files, you'll also need RTC (Rapid Tank Creator) 2 to make a no blood.dsres and thats about it.

I've had a look at this no blood option today and from my initial dabblings I've got the puddles of blood transparent, as in they don't appear on the ground and not one texture file was changed. Now here's the bad news, no matter what else I change in these two files I cannot get them to make the spurting blood transparent when you hit them, someone with some knowledge of skrit is needed for this as I don't know anything about it.

The 2 files I've been looking at are in the Logic.ds2res, if anyone can give some input on this problem you're welcome to get stuck in.
