Nice.

Though honestly, I would kinda prefer they would port VtMB to some newer 3D engine. :D

Well. Wow. Looks like somebody finally cracked the Holy Grail of VTMB modding: Direct map editing.
Don't think there will be many modders around to play with it now, but between this, Wesp5's excellent work and the old multiplayer project, there suddenly seems to be a real possibility to turn this game into what it was supposed to be before the rush set in.
Exciting news!

The question remains, though - Does insight remove sanity, or will insight be given to the mad?"

I'm pretty shocked about this as well, not to mention quite pleased. I wonder though, is it possible to add VA/dialog options to newly created character models with this SDK? (of course one would have to have access to recorded VAs first, obviously).
