Adding a custom clan or tweaking the existing ones is quite easy. Same goes for weapon stats and quest dialogues.

AS for the modelling, unless someone figures out how to read and write in the proprietary file format, we're stuck with swapping one model with another

You can use any trick in the book but you MUST NOT kill anyone. Not even stealth killing. After Mitnick sends you the message you are free to dispose of those suckers.

I found out by playing Vampire on my laptop that eye are missing if have an old card without pixel shaders. Probably a bug, since there IS a fallback path for DirectX7 cards and this is another sign that nobody bothered to test this game on a Geforce2, 4MX, Ati 7500, etc.

If you have 7 of persuasion you can talk the oldtimers out of their stupid feud right at the beginning of the quest

...and save yourself a few trip back and forth from the red dragon. No to mention the 6XP points only for a couple of dialogues. Or you can first convince one to give up and then kill ...

Are you sure you turned off the auto levelling feature ?

If at the bottom right corner there is written "off" it's actually ON because it's a command, not a status.

I usually do most of the warrens and of the final levels sneaking and I can avoid combat 90% of times. God knows how I hate the combat oriented levels of this game. Some are fun (Zhao warehoue, the parking) but the final missions are really boring to death.

Early Protean levels sucks; as a metter ...

Ok, I played with the scripts a little...

Claws are considered a weapon and their scripts are located in the \vdata\items folder. According to the variables, the speed rate of the protean claws should be the same of bare fists yet I know this isn't true. Lowering the value of the "attack rate" from ...

On your way back to ship the doorway is blocked by a policeman. You can go another route instead if you remembered to unlock all the doors with the terminal

[QUOTE=araknid70]mysfx: It's not the engine, its DirectX. A Geforce 5700 Ultra supports DirectX 9.0c while the Radeon 7500 probably supports 8.0 or 8.1, something like that. DX 8.0 and 8.1 support far less features than 9.0c (like shadows, special texture maps etc etc), which will take up less ...

Yep, in every pub in the four areas there is a chick who can be seduced for a... free drink!

During the recent Christmas break, I had the occasion to run Bloodlines on my laptop with only 512Mb of RAM. If people with 1GB of RAM think that the loading times are horrible they should try running this on 512MB, not to mention the stuttering due to continuous swapping in large outdoor areas or ...

The first time I completed this quest it was real easy. My character wasn't specialized in firearms and I didn't understand that a direct head shot was needed so it took me a lot of rounds to kill one zombie. The second time I re-played the game, despite the fact that I had 8 in ranged weapons, no ...

Protean screwed ?

No, I'm not talking about the Lvl 5 bug but rather of its effectiveness.

I've started playing with a gangrel, pumping up brawl and strenght and I couldn't notice how bare fists are way faster and have a longer reach than claws. Not only claws seems slower but they also leave you more open for an ...
