Daggerfall Workshop Forums

Upon hitting an enemy with a weapon they no longer emit a blood splatter sprite to indicate a successful hit. Upon consideration, I don't think I've seen the spatter for a few versions now.
I remember Childguard in Classic may have had this effect, but I have not enabled anything like that - nor do I think Daggerfall Unity has this option.
Does Daggerfall Unity have this blood impact sprite effect? Its possible I may be conflating a Classic feature upon Unity...

Edited. I apologize because I failed to check Bug Report Guidelines before I posted this, and have now edited it with requested information:

When using a Bow, a hit upon an NPC combatant doesn't display a blood spatter sprite to accompany the hit. This has been consistent for at least the current build, and those of the past month [May Builds - Lycanthropy.]

To reproduce this bug, I need to attack an NPC with a bow and successfully hit them.

Mods installed are:
Daggerfall Unity Quest Pack #1 by Jay_H
Daggerfall Remasted Music Project by ByteMixer
Tamriel Mixdown by Helegad [modification to the DAGGER.SND file to impart more dynamic range]

I have attached my output log file, a screenshot of the 'bug,' and my latest savegame with bow equipped and an enemy to dispatch with it if testing is desired.

Works for me, and has worked for a while (but there has been some modifications on that code about 2 months ago, did blood splatters stop working for you between 0.7.120 and the next release, probably 0.7.145?)
Some game logs could be useful, if anything to get your system technical details...

Per your comments I went back and tested my melee weapons and found blood spatter DOES result from those hits - but does NOT from result from bow hits. I didn't test things enough before posting. Thank you for informing me of the lacking nature of my report. I have since gone back and edited it per the subforum guidelines, including the title to constrain the bug to just bow strikes.

Allofich is the dev most involved with combat of late. I'll leave this tagged to him if he wants to pick it up. Otherwise I will address later.

It might be some particular weird quirk in my installation for all I know. Regardless, its not a critical bug by any means. Thank you for your and other developers work as always.

I've been holding off on replying here, but thought I'd mention that I had seen the same issue with the bow not producing blood strikes. I believe it was with 0.8.2 as well.

I'll try and check it with 0.8.6.

I have the same Daggerfall Unity Quest Pack #1 by Jay_H as well, and Kamer's WAQ and Wilderness.

However, right now I have to either stop the various Quests or start over in 0.8.6 and it will be a couple of days before I can do that, since I have to look up how to stop a quest.

Find the quest in the Quest tracker, then enddebugquest in the console, Quest canceled and only that Quest
