After fiddling with it untill I fell asleep, this is what I've come up with *so far*.

Looking very good!

Looks alot more realistic!

That is very cool. Can't wait till the release.

amazing, how much network overhead will this use now?

[c0ldfyr3]

Same as before =) I havent added any new blood, just tweaked it to look alot better.

I have people in my server saying that goremod is causing lag to only them...specifically choke, I try to explain it to them that if they got choke from it everyone would but they won't accept that, please pound the myths out of their heads! I want something to quote here...just so I can prove them wrong (I really don't want to take goremod off)

Keep up the good work! GoreMod w/CS:S DM is just an all-out riot!

This is a possibility, but not a reality.
The complete setup, using high values for amount and loop cvars, will still add about the same amount of overhead that any stats plugin on full settings would.

Look at it this way.

A blood squirt, the packet contains about 8 bytes, origin, direction, and amount. Sent to all clients, 10 (if loop is 10) times on every shot that hits a player.
Stats, on a player's death, sends 100 times this amount of data, to more than one player. The "You were killed by *" message alone is three times the size.
But, I am not saying their choke is not caused by GoreMod.
Try lowering the loop settings, and see if it fixes their choke. If it does, then its GoreMod, if it doesnt, then its something else.
The loop cvars are the only options which could possibly affect choke.

And hey, those guys complaining are probably the same guys who wont play anywhere else cause their choke changes. Get them to try cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate values themselves, I have to change mine depending on the server im playing on so does everyone else. So if a server is sending more data, a larger client or server updaterate may fix the problem.

1. is it possible that all the blood on the walls and ground will stay in the next rounds ?

2. would this cost too mutch performance or anything else ?
