Ok then , so what "OLD GR materail" are we talking about ?
All i did was to add a camo texture over your characters, leaving in the detail underneath, we did over paint the heads and maybe we should have consulted you first ? but the point of the specailist is to look different from the other characters, If you could help with this by providing some new camo textures and faces that would be great and much appreciated by us and the commuittey who are looking forward to this mod

Many Thanks

Oh and PS Tinker didnt have any thing to do with the specialist's i only sent him the 4 i done last night to go into the mod, Its lucky hes about as with out his dedication to BO the mod would have died along time ago and nobodys work would have seen the light of day

No need for Hero`s in Blood Oil. Like the sound of that anyhow!

The characters available will kick some butt for you. They look good, shoot straight, and will do there job.

Just throwing a note out to all here. I have tried to finish the maps and missions, and do the compiling, nothing more. Other`s have joined recently, that have helped with the overall completion of all other items. My own work would be worthless, and unusable without those people. Confusion and lack of info, will cause problems. Hope we have passed them. A lot of the original force are not available, and some things always get overlooked, or expected.

Only 3-4 months back we picked this back up. It was in poor shape too. Most of the helpers from there, have no ideas where all the original files were from, just here it is, what can we do.

This is to be released shortly, but if anyone finds anything that should not be in this mod, or feels they need some credits for something we simply do not know about, pls PM me. It will be done at request, 1 way or the other.



Patches...contain things...

Old topic

Thnx to Phlookian for setting this up.

[Hammer]

Yes a big thank you to Phlookian for getting it exported and not forgeting Tinker for getting it in game .
i just realised how long ago it was that i 1st painted the texture for this and posted them it suprising how many mods and modders have been and gone since then

[SeekerII]

I'm going to pipe in here and thank everyone who got involved in the development of this project. As a beta tester, the attention to detail and thought into the mission and play is outstanding.

Thank you Tinker, Hammer and your development team.

The A & O clan, as well as others of the testing team are chopping at the bit waiting for the public release.

BLOOD OIL:

This mod is a community made mod,and has change hands so many times, and has had so many people involved in it up to this point. Nobody seems to own this mod and there is nobody in charge of it too. So thnx to all that have chipped in to finish it off.

Blood Oil is situated in Nigeria, and is nothing more than a new mod, and some fun to play.

Searching YouTube for Blood Oil can reveal some eye opening scenes.

SAD's (SPECIAL ACTIVITES DIVISION of the CIA) have been called in to rescue a group of Government officials, being held hostage at a Nigerian gas plant. Several turn of events, will lead the SAD team through a variety of missions, to completing there objective.

Recognise the civilians, they do carry arms sometimes, and will fire if threatened.

NOTES:

* Inside the main Blood Oil driectory, there are 2 zip files. (bo_full.7z & bo_reduced.7z). Do not delete the files. If you are experiencing performance issues, simply right click bo_reduced.7z and extract here. This will replace all the large textures throughout blood oil to 512 x 512, also it will replace all the enviroment files with reduced versions.To switch back just right click the bo_full.7z and extract here, done. This should cause no issues with saved games or joining others servers.

* There are no unlocked heros at present, this will hopefully be adressed in a patch after Xmas.

* Not being a part of the original team, I have probably left people out of the credits, this can be fixed also if anyone sends a PM with info.

* SP is set up as a 12 mission Campaign, all Campaign missions begin with BO ( C ) and are also available for Coop.

* All other missions are just some fun extra stuff to compliment the maps accordingly, which begin BO ( M )

* All game modes are available for all maps.


KNOWN ISSUES:

* Fishing village you may notice not being able to shoot anyone when hiding around the grass stacks, I don`t think there is any contact with the map creator, you will need to be aware of this and not TK your whole team trying to throw a frag like I did.

* River ride map (BO M 19) is primarilary a TvT map, it is set up for all game modes, but you map experience a few issues with the AI as it has not been set up correct with working levels etc.


INSTALLATION INSRTRUCTIONS:

Place Blood_Oil_v2.7z into your mods directory, right click the file and extract here.
