"Mort's Modern Day Revamp" v1.2 by Mort (4/30/2023)
Revamp is a VTMR Multiplayer, Modern Day hub expansion, consisting of content from Baton Rouge, TBT New York, Dark_Downtown, Yith's Megalondon, and a few other maps. I used the TBT New York expansion (BTDallas) as a template and expanded on the old ICT Chronicle files I made years ago, which had several problems and file errors. "Revamp" has a total of 111 hubbed locations! Shout out to all the map makers who created all this work over the years, expecially Ezykeyal Rage for making the best MD Multiplayer map in the game.

Installation:
-Extract NOB file and Sound Files directly to main Vampire The Masquerade - Redemption directory.
1.1 - 1.2:
- Extract and overwrite all files to Vampire The Masquerade - Redemption directory
- To keep your map save files from breaking you must do the following
1. Always back up your files first just incase you make a mistake
2. Create a new save in game using the 1.2 version of the map
3. Exit game and go to Vampire The Masquerade - Redemption/SaveGames Folder
4. Navigate to the new MP save folder you just created and delete all files EXCEPT "!main.NSG"
5. Navigate to the old MP save folder that had your previous save you are wanting to transfer to the 1.2 version
6. Copy all "location_#.NSW" files inside of it EXCEPT "location_2.NSW" DO NOT INCLUDE "!main.NSG"
7. Paste all the location_#.NSW files into the new MP save folder (the one that only has !main.NSG inside of it) Remember there should not be a location_2.NSW file after you do this.
8. Unfortunately, location_2.NSW (docks main hub area) will need to be repropped and populated in game. This is due to the area having a new map added to one of the cabs. All other previous locations should be fine.
Compatibility:
1. This file is configured to be ran by itself without interference from the original maps that are included. For best performance, remove the following files from your main VTMR directory before loading the map.
Baton Rouge.nob
btmapbase.nob
btmapuf.nob
NJ.nob
Yith_Megalondon.nob
2. Delete/remove any "ICT Chronicles.nsc" files that are in your "Chronicles" folder in the main VTMR directory. These files are now irrelevant.
3. This file also includes all props, items, and NPCs included in the Baton Rouge.nob file, so using this map will not hinder the STer's ability to use that content if they want for their games.
Issues:
1. This chronicle file has a total of 111 locations. Due to such and the limitations of the nod engine, there are times that the game could crash on you.
2. Some of the exit descriptions could not be changed. This mostly includes the Subways, as well as some french translated names in the Yith_megalondon locations. I'm also sure I missed one here or there. If you find any let me know and i'll fix if possible.
3. There are a few locations that do not have returning exit paths, such as the Docks Apartments. This is due to the original map not having an exit path set up. If you have the .map file for these original maps, let me know and i'll fix.
4. There are times where you may encounter UI graphical issues like white/orange boxes on the UI. We have reason to believe this has to do with sectors, texture files, and modern GPU's and can not be fixed. You can resolve by hiding the GUI temporarily (F11) or reloading your game.
5. Please report any bugs or major issues to me.
