Title: Blood On the Canopy
Post by: rauchen on June 26, 2007, 04:27:20 PM

Can the blood on the canopy be changed to some other color so I can play AHII with my kids?

As far as wargames go, this is about the only one out there I can play during the day, or with them.

Otherwise I'm stuck with driving sims....

I think there should be an option of, Show blood or Disable Blood.

Or you can tell your kids that Grandmas Cherry Pie exploded. ;)

As far as I know, this game would be rated G. I mean come on, you shoot a pilot and he blows up? Was he filled with helium?

Not being offensive, just mentioning that I think it's not that bad. Although an option for show / disable blood would be interesting for those who don't want to see their life's fluid.:aok

Sorry that i dont know a way to keep blood from appearing on the canopy, but if you go with the squeegie you might need some of this!

I said we need to make the pilot wounds more graphic one day in Aces High and here are some of the responses I get

Guts on windshield
pool of blood on floor
blood on gauges
head in lap
pilot scremas when he gets shot
pilot calls for his mommy (my fav :) )
hands covered in blood (if we ever saw pilots hands)
fingers on the floor
one side of screen goes black from being shot in the eye

you guys have alot of time to think about these things dont ya :lol

Head in lap? All the poor pilot would see is his neck or his feet.

I always wanted a way to toggle it on or off but as my son is getting older it is not such issue any more. I certainly can see it would help with the wife/mom ack. :)

Telling them it is hydraulic fluid it a good idea. :)

Lying to your children is a bad idea imho

I noticed that when you export the skin of an aircraft one of the bitmaps is BLOOD_a.bmp which seems to be the blood splatter pattern.
I guess if you modify it to be all black you won't see any blood in the cockpit.

I haven't tested this but It's a reasonable guess.

I imagine this would only work offline or Head to Head.

Yes, offline or H2H. Yet it only works in H2H if the textures are worked into the terrain, otherwise it's useless.

Or you could just be truthful with them. If your pilot gets wounded, he bleeds.

I could never understand why any sane parent would let children play games where main objective is killing and destruction then have a tenacity to request blood color change because it may be too much for them.

If you're of opinion your children are too young to deal with little blood, then they are too young to play war games.

Parents don't always tell the truth.  (Mine told me I was adopted for years:D)

What about Santa Claus or did the little kiddies learn early that Santa wasn't real.  What they don't know, won't hurt them.  It looks like hydraulic fluid, so that would be a good explaination.:aok

I agree though, if your child can't handle a widdle biddle bit-o-blood, then he shouldn't be playing war games.

Nothing against those against the blood, but really, if you want to protect your children so much, then you'd better not let them watch any movies/music videos........
Compared to the cockpit blood, those things can really rot the kids' minds.
