Team Fortress 2: No Blood

After much demand, I have finally created a Team Fortress 2: No Blood ‘patch’. I just took the German Blood Patch version 2.0, provided by DJ, which restores blood for German players, and reversed it (Haha, how ironic) in the same manner as I did with the CS:S No Blood Patch. This page is called TF2: No Blood, but as of version 1.3 it is a collection of low violence patches including no blood decals, no blood splashes, and funny gibs.

Looking for CS:S No Blood? It’s here.

UPDATE: Version 1.3 now allows you to remove blood decals (The blood on the walls and stuff like that, textures basically), the blood splashes (The particle effects like when you’re shooting at someone and blood splashes off), and a new option to install funny gibs which replaces the bloody gibs with an explosion of funny models such as rubber duckies, springs, cogs, etc. (More fitting to the game if you ask me).

Enabling Funny/Silly Gibs: With the release of the Sniper vs Spy update, Valve now allows you to turn on funny/gibs by adding a new parameter to Team Fortress 2. To enable it, go to your Games List, right click on Team Fortress 2, then click Properties. Click on Set Launch Options… and in the box type in -sillygibs . If there is already text there, then just add a space at the end of the existing text and do as I said above, type -sillygibs . Now restart TF2 and when you blow up you should see the funny gibs (Rubber duckies, cogs and wheels, confetti, etc.).

Install to your account folder inside the steamapps folder.

If you get blood or gibs again, you will have to re-install the patch. Some servers have custom blood or gib content that overrides this patch.

Download the installer version 1.3 here.

WP-Mailhide Now on WordPress.Org

After waiting for a while, my WP-Mailhide WordPress Plugin now has a Plugin Page at the WordPress Plugins site. I have access to the Subversion repository so that changes are made instantly and what not. Hopefully this will expose it to the masses so I can get some more feedback.

The way it automatically makes pages for the plugin is interesting. It reads a specially formatted readme.txt file which the authors have to create. It’s my first time doing any of this so it might not be the best looking :P
