blood pretty much only show up on vertical surfaces for some reason, and they have this weird transparency when they (rarely) show up on the ground

it really looks stupid when I hit some guy and the giant amount of blood that comes out goes nowhere

Sounds like 1.2 broke one your mods.

This started before 1.2 actually. The thing is that it used to work, but I got tired of the awful jelly blood, and installed that Enhanced Blood Textures mod

After that it started doing this, so I deleted EVERYTHING including all .ini files, reinstalled, and it's still doing it

Am I missing something here? I have no clue why it would keep doing this
