Addon request

zdkazz · August 2014

So im a big fan of enhanced blood, the mod from skyrim one of the features this mod did was the blood splatter on screen, I know we cannot add blood splatter to the game world, however can someone please make me an add on that splatters blood on the screen starting at 50% health and gets stronger as your health went down?

We can only access the UI layer in front of the 3D world.

It should be possible to add a transparently layer to the UI that does not intercept Mouse actions.
Not surehow to keep it from going into front of the menues.
The hard part is propably getting a blood splatter texture to show into the game.

see I know nothing about addons, so i figured it could be added much like the icons are added for buffs and debuffs on your char if you use addons like that(i dont) I though it could be triggered by things like the low health warnings some addons do, tbh I wouldnt mind if they went over the menus aslong as they faded out and were semi transparent. but once again I know nothing about how this works lol.

I also wouldnt mind some splatter on my screen and have it tell me I killed xplayerx when in pvp(even if it only told me this in chat in large red text) lol Idk if this is even possible, but I would love it lol

Hello All,

Any Official CS from TESO side can advise us which Addons are legal and official and we can use in game.
For instance, can we use all addons The Curse published?
Thanks

As far as I know all addons which use default API are allowed. It means that you can safely use all addons published on Curse or ESOUI. (I recommend using ESOUI and their Minion as there is much more addons - 113 on Curse, 662 on ESOUI)
If ZOS don't want addons using any API function, they will just make a change to the API. Same as they have disabled functionality of Jumper addon (function JumpToGuildMember(playerName) does not work for yourself anymore).

so would an addon like this be possible to make?

Garkin · August 2014

Yes, in my opinion it's possible. You can't add anything to the 3D world, but what you want is just semi-transparent texture displayed on the screen. It is almost the same as health warning in the default UI.

So you just have to make textures, listen to the EVENT_POWER_UPDATE event and display textures accordingly.

I made a few changes to the addon, link is the same as before. (Different textures, random splatter textures, positions and transparency, first splatter is at 75% of health)

that is amaising, I am trying to make my own addon atm, i dont know what Im doing but I want t add first person helms and hoods, would it be ok if I incorporated this and the fpv helms and hoods in one package? I would give you credit for the splatter and thank you for the help.
I want to make something like the helmet fov mod for oblivion, but i want to make the textures see through(so its not so oppressive), like your eyes have agusted to having wear the helm, heres and example,

To get the blood on the character models & weapons you would actually need a full-on MOD, not an Add-On, because you need to retexture 3D models or create texture overlays in order to make it happen (and that would include plotting their position in 3 dimensional space, which the Add-On API that we have available to us is incapable of properly doing.

A MOD lives up to its name and actually modifies game files to achieve a goal (usually graphical, in most games). MMOs historically do not allow modding. ESO is no different in that regard.

Yep. I added my post for the benefit of other folk who might read your thread and wonder why it wouldn't work.
