Rain washing blood stains

[Jela331]

Hello there, here's another realistic suggestion and a suggestion that should optimize things a bit.

 

People with low-spec computers will have fps troubles with going trough all those bodies and a lot of blood. So, I was thinking about blood outdoors should fade away slowly when it's raining and soon disappear. It might bring a few extra frames per second.

 

What do you think?

I like it; it's a believably realistic way to manage the cleanup of blood on a large scale (how many players are really going to want to bleach and scrub the entire outdoors). Plus it would keep towns from deteriorating into blood-soaked hellholes where a player has to render hundreds of decals at a time just to walk down the street.  Easier on players, easier on the server.  I'm all for it.

 

Obviously indoor blood would remain where it is without a player actively cleaning it.

I haven't noticed any lag issues from a hundreds of bodies?

And I have like one of the lowest spec'ed computers on the forum.

Well you can considere yourself lucky ;o

I've a 7-8 years old PC, so yeah it's considere low end now, and I've dramatic framerate issues when there are too many dead bodies.
