You can find the Unofficial Patch at the link below and I also pasted the tutorial to MP from the readme. But be aware that is it coop only, very much beta and may crash on some maps.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines : Patches, Updates, Addons, Downloads (The Patches Scrolls)
Multiplayer Support:
--------------------
Each multiplayer clan starts with 100 XP, $500 and unique equipment.
Players can't damage each other thus only coop gameplay is possible!
Server:
1. exec multiplayer.cfg enable multiplayer support on the server
2. map 'level' load server map, admin must only spectate!
3. noclip server admin needs to stay in noclip mode!
4. sv_gravity "800" after clients connected: turn gravity on
Client:
1. connect ip connect to server at ip address as client
2. vclan 'mp-clan' play as 'mp-clan' with starting equipment
3. say/say_team '...' talk ingame to everyone/your team members
4. name 'player' optional set name of yourself to 'player'
5. team 'team' optional assign yourself into team 'team'
6. vgender int 0/1 optional to switch the character's gender

I'm amazed thats even possible.
Making a game that doesnt supported MP in the first place change to support it - how the heck did people manage that !?!??

The original game already included the MP, although unfinished, buggy and hidden. Someone calling himself Exulx discovered it and figured out a way to avoid the main bug which was the game crashing when the server player touched the floor. I added the dedicated MP clans later on and tested it on two PCs but never did much more. As far as I know there is no community out there playing it, so you need to setup your own LAN and then indeed connect to the server and set any parameters using the console.

The game crashes when the player hits the floor... strange bug.
The developer had gone so far as to create MP clans? Can't remember that multiplayer was ever announced for this game during its development.
Can you actually do quests etc. or just run around empty levels?

Indeed. I can imagine it took a long time to figure these crashes out

No, these were added by me, because otherwise the characters would start without any equipment. I also managed to get some of the hunter Numina working correctly

I think you can actually do quests but I never tried it...
