Dark_Raven Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 The thread needed to be split in two, as the "Werewolf" discussion has become it's own argument that's no longer really apart of this thread anymore. Please continue the discussion about "unkillable" enemies in the split part of this thread, while keeping other Bloodlines related talk here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Darque FTW. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Dark_Raven Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 I bloodboiled almost all of grouts mansion until I finally had to stop due to blood loss. exploding ghouls ftw. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL I love Bloodboil. Make enemies go boom! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It never gets old. Never. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Never. Too bad the Tremere are the only clans that get it. I am downtown LA with the Brujah game. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Shryke Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 i only installed this a few days ago. i'm a male Brujah i'm still sorta getting the hang of things. i'm always running low on blood coz i can never find anyone isolated to munch on... (and prostitutes cost lots) currently in downtown. i've done a bit of background reading, and i've noticed that i missed 3 or 4 missions in santa monica (i've been wondering what's in that tattoo parlour. and the prosthetics place....) so far, i'm having heaps of fun. although i have had a couple of annoying things happen. i found the flesh eaty vampire chick (with the crazy glowing eyes), and she told me to send the dude down to her. thing is, when i head back up to where he was there's no sign of him. bug? or do you find him somewhere else? oh, and the haunted mansion was awesome! :D when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Atreides Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Dude's ran away to his appt. Drink from your enemies. That's where I get most of my blood. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Shryke Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 yeah i do when i can, but most of the time i'm fighting groups of people, rather than just one or two... when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Darque Posted September 9, 2006 Author Posted September 9, 2006 Never. Too bad the Tremere are the only clans that get it. I am downtown LA with the Brujah game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you beating people senseless? As for Thaumaturgy... you know.. you can modify your clan's starting abilities.
Dark_Raven Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 She likes the baseball bat especially doing stealth kills. Batter up! Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Dark_Raven Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Witha crowd in the background cheering you on. I want my katana though. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Atreides Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 How do you create a clan with say Malk in-game responses (say funky dialogue) but with modified disciplines? Spreading beauty with my katana.
Darque Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 The instructions are spread over the Planet Vampire forums. I'll see if I can piece it together again... but it's been a while. Bascially you have to extract one file called "clan.doc" and then edit it in wordpad. You could change your model to say La Croix and then give your Malk Animalism, Fortitude and Dominate... for example.
Pop Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I never really "modded" Bloodlines, so to speak, except to replace the music when I could. "The New Khans" became the Santa Monica music and I put some Autechre in for Downtown LA, and they both worked without a hitch (the Autechre fit perfectly with the setting, too. I was proud of myself). However, you'd have to save your game before going anywhere, since a lot of .mp3s cause the club areas to crash, for some reason. Anybody know why that is? And for posterity I'm going to ask my original Bloodlines question again: Do the "History" options added in the latest community patch change the actual RP elements of the game, or do they merely affect stats? Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Archmonarch Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Just stats. Mostly skills/talents/knowledges. And atreides, if you want to try out different options without modding the files yourself, you might think about trying the clan mod. It can usually be found with the pnp mod. Basically it attempts to add all of the clans from Masquerade, applying the various in-game disciplines as necessary (As far as I know, no one has figured out how to input new disciplines, so some are just approximations). The pnp mod just makes things closer to the tabletop game, allowing everyone to buy some of the basic physical disciplines among other things. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Darque Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 I'm not sure about any history mods. But the built in Histories (which you need the console to unlock and use) tend to just affect stats and disciplines... I think. There's a list of what those do on Gamefaqs and how to turn them on.

Darque Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 Still haven't got it all done yet (busy with real life stuff) But I'm still piecing it together, just might take a few days.
Darque Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 Ok... I think this is how it would work... If you wanted to change the main character to someone cool (like.. say.. Damsel ) you'd do this: You'll need a tool called VampED, which you can get here. Then you'll want to open and extract clandoc.txt from the pack101.vpk (and I think the VampED tool will allow you to pull out this one file) Once you have the file, you should back it up, and then you can make the changes in notepad and then save them. Clandoc seems to have all the file paths for the character models as well as the starting discipline info (possibly all info) for character creation. So you could turn the female Bruja model into Damsel and then give her Thaumaturgy, Fortitude and Presence as disciplines. NOTE: I haven't tried this yet, so I am NOT 100% sure this will work... back up your files and try at YOUR OWN RISK. Finally a list of character models can be found here. Edit: There's a more detailed list of character models on the site, but I can't seem to find it now. It might have been purged.
Atreides Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Thanks Darque, I'll give it a try after I finish my playthrough as a Tremere. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Darque Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 Awesome (w00t) You can be our... test subject.
Pop Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 New community patch released today. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Dark_Raven Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Who uses the unofficial patch? Surprisingly this is one of those games that I have kept original, no mods or anything. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Pop Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Who uses the unofficial patch? Surprisingly this is one of those games that I have kept original, no mods or anything. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, I'm jus sayin. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Dark_Raven Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 My question is nothing but curiosity. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 I doubt I'll use one of the fanmods. I like the game as is
Dark_Raven Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Bloodlines already has the reputation of being buggy, why compound it? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
