There’s always a few people that are wondering how to turn off blood in Counter Strike Source, for various reasons. I skinned the blood splats/decals and erased them so now there are no longer blood splats. I didn’t do this intentionally though, I was just messing around with the VTF format and what not, and I figured I’d do something small like that.
Blood helps in letting you know if you shot them or not, but each to their own I guess. In this skin package all blood is removed. At first I had only made it so that wall blood smear decals were removed, something which I didn’t do intentionally but in an effort to get an idea of skinning in CS:S. After a few people showed interest and use of this, I decided to finish it off, something which wasn’t necessarily complicated. I have now removed all traces of blood, or so it seems. If there is any more that you know of please let me know and I’ll fix it.
Download the installer here.
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.
Looking for TF2: No Blood? It’s here.

Hi,
Thanks for creating this file. I have searched in the css for the file, C: Drive > Program Files > Steam > Steamapps > (yourname) > counter-strike source > cstrike > materials. I cant find the “materials” folder. Is it anywhere else or should I create the folder and then copy the information into it???
Thanks
Thanks,
I tried to install the no blood files but I cannot find a folder “materials” to copy it into. Is this folder anywhere else or can I create the folder “materials” to copy the noblood folders into?????
Hi,
I have tried posting but haven’t seen my message so I registered and will resubmit my question. I hope that’s ok?
First,
Thanks so much for creating this folder.
I am having trouble locating the “materials” folder. I have searched and there doesn’t seem to be one??? Should or can I create one and then copy these folders into it???
Thanks again
Yeah you posted your message three times, no worries though I guess you didn’t see it due to cache problems. Yes, just create and empty ‘materials’ folder where it should be and continue with the installation process. Hope that helps.
Hey Jorge, can you make a file like this for TF2??? THAT WOULD BE AWOSME! (If you have the game)
@Live2bcool: Try it out here. Tell me if it works.
OMG JORGE!!!! YOU ARE MY LIFE SAVER!!!
My mom said I can onley get this game if I turned off all the gore (I allready know how to turn the gibs off) and you just solved my problem! NOW I CAN GET IT! YES! I’ll put it on rightaway when I buy the game!
Don’t get too excited yet, I don’t know if it works. It should, it’s very similar to the way CS:S did it, so it should work. If not, then just let me know and we’ll figure it out.
This patch, when combined with
violence_hblood 0
violence_hgibs 0
violence_ablood 0
violence_agibs 0
removes enemy decals (blood) from HL2, but doesn’t remove the blood that’s part of the maps (which makes sense).
it should be noted that this change doesnt work on all servers. some servers have a mod on them called “sv_pure” that blocks all custom skins and such (like noblood) from working. the reason that a server might have sv_pure is to block people from using custom skins to cheat. just an fyi.
That’s true, and it’s the case with pretty much any server for most games out there. Pure servers only use stock content or content they provide.
Hey, you changed your name? also the website has been down for like 2 months. O_O
Im glad your back!
-Live2bcool ;D
No, this has always been my Internet Name, maybe one day my real name too hah. There was a problem, my old domain was too expensive (4 times more expensive than a .com domain), so I just canceled it and got a .com. jorgepena.com was already taken, so I got this one. Besides, it’s a site on the Internet so I’m using my Internet name.
Good to see you to.
there are also some conole commands that will PARTIALLY get rid of blood. they are:
r_decals 0
mp_decals 0
violence_hblood 0
and maybe:
violence_blood 0 (hblood is for human and ablood is for aliens and im not sure if ablood has any affect in cs:s as there is no aliens)
these commands work most of the time, but WILL NOT work on entities such as: most boxes, crate palets and trees. sooooo, if the victim dies in such a way that be blood splaters on these things (and probably more things that i havent found) the blood will still show up. the plus side is that these commands will work on servers with sv_pure on them.
Thanks that’s great to know
doh- it should have been violence_ablood 0 and not violence_blood 0 on that last command.
I have tried this on every game on Steam I have but of course, it doesn’t work. It onley works on TFC.
Well it would only work on games using the Source Engine, such as HL2, Portal, TF2, CS:S, DOD:S, etc.
i got it, installed it, but how do i get the blood back???
Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOURUSERNAME\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials and delete the decals folder.
This is awesome.Thank you very much but just one thing,does it turn off ragdolls?
Nah, it doesn’t
i want 1 whit only the blood on the walls are gone the blood on the humans i want
Hey man, your work is greatly appreciated. I have never liked “unrealistic” blood spatters. Also I have some siblings who ’secretly’ watch me play. So my parents say no to the game. Your way is good but I like to know when I hit someone! So, how/which files do I edit to make it paintball syle(yellow blood spatters)>? I have Photoshop CS.
Thanks alot,
My parents hate the blood but now i can turn it off. Ty a lot Blaenk.
