NOTE ON THE DOWNLOADS:
This mod is now updated to Version 1.2. This update will hopefully fix the issue with blood being stretched across terrain.
I say 'hopefully' because I can't test this since I no longer play Oblivion, but I'm pretty sure it fixed the issue.

There's also an alternate update which makes the blood darker to make it seem less pink on creatures.
Lich blood textures are included in both updates but have NOT been made darker.

Static blood decals and blood spray is NOT included in either of the updates, so if you want those install the v11 main file before one of the updates. You CAN use the textures from the updates on their own if you want to, so you don't have to download the main file. (This is what I recommend, because the static textures look awful.)

Let me know if there are any problems, and feel free to upload some screenshots if you want to.

Description
=========

This mod adds more blood, and makes it look better.


Oblivion.ini and BloodTime plugin
=========================

If you want even more blood, you can change some settings in your Oblivion.ini file.

Open the file with Notepad (and remember to make a backup of the file before editing), find the following lines, and change the values to what you want them to be (it's easier to find them by using Ctrl+F):

iMaxDecalsPerFrame - This is the amount of decals (or blood splatter) you will see. Remember that if you set it too high it can reduce FPS.

fDecalLifetime - This is the time blood splatter stays on the ground, characters and so on.

fMinBloodDamage - This is the minimum amount of damage you must inflict to make blood appear(setting it to 0 will make blood appear everytime you hit someone).

bDecalsOnSkinnedGeometry - If this is set to 1 blood will appear on skin.

Note that fDecalLifetime is reset everytime you change the graphics settings, because of that I included a plugin made by Skycaptain (to use the plugin you need OBSE - http://obse.silverlock.org/).

If you want to CHANGE THE VALUE, type in the console:

'set bloodTime to x'

where "x" is the amount of seconds you want the blood to stay.

You need to press "ESC" to visit the "pause menu" to make the new setting activate.

Install
=====

1. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
If you will use the BloodTime plugin:
2. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the SkycaptainsBloodTime.esp file.
