Since I started this mod one thing bugged me: having to merge two disciplines (Melpominee and Chimerstry). Of course, they are similar, there was not enough disciplines to mod, blah blah blah....
I come out with the crazy idea to make an optional addon to my addon. So I can move the Ravnos there and gave them their full discipline. This came with two problems:
- Who will replace the Ravnos? That was easy, I remembered of the Lamia. I can reuse Mortis once more, everybody wins.
- If I move the Ravnos to the 2nd row, who will fill the other 6 slots?! Because this game needs 7 active clans to be chosen to at the beginning of the game. And, oh boy, this was the big problem! So, once again back to designing clans and implementing them.
So who will I add to this game? After some research, here are the new recruits to this addon (should I call it now a mod with all the stuff I've added? Omg....):
Telyavs (pagan Tremere bloodline)
Ananke (Malk bloodline specialized in haruspex)
Gargoyles
Volgirre (a Toreador bloodline who can learn Vicissitude too)
Tlacique (a Setite bloodline)
and Nephilim (a rare Toreador bloodline)
Have a nice day everyone :)
I cannot wait for these clans to show up; they are going to be so epic :D
Uploaded yesterday! Any feedback is appreciated ;)
So I don't think I did anything wrong but my Cappadocians don't have Mortis, they have the Daughters Discipline.
Also is this compatible with Bloodlines Extreme?
What? I'll check it this afternoon.
Anyway, this mod is not compatible with Bloodlines Extreme, sorry :/
It's alright, I was just curious.
I found out the error. I forgot to change some lines (facepalm). Until I can make a patch, open \vdata\system\clandoc000.txt, go to the lines 927-929 where is written
"Animalism" "1"
"Dementation" "1"
"Fortitude" "1"
and replace it with
"Auspex" "1"
"Fortitude" "1"
"Thaumaturgy" "1"
Remember to mantain the spaces before the lines
I'm confused... I only see the original ones you had before, and not the other new clan choices... how do you switch over to them? I think I may have done something wrong, but I'm not exactly sure what :-/
I was confused too but the readme says how to do it.
Extract the archive then find the folder "XTRAS - 7 Further Clans addon" and copy its contents into Unofficial_Patch folder.
Exactly that :)
I did that but uhhhh I still only see the original ones made for this. I even did a fresh install of the game, the patch, and this add-on.
1) install UP 11.0
2) extract the archive on a temporary folder
3) extract on top of the temporary folder the patch (overwrite the files)
4) inside the temporary folder go to "XTRAS - 7 Further Clans addon", cut and paste its content inside the temporary folder (overwrite the files)
5) cut the content of the temporary folder inside Unofficial_Patch (overwrite the files)
If everything is done right it should work now
Oh so I ONLY need to add in the xtras, and NOTHING else, because I did a derp and added in everything else... rip I'm so sorry LOL!
Btw!!! I Linked my friend to this mod, because her and I normally role-play malks together, and now we're both in love with the idea of role-playing as Daughters of Cacophony. Thank you so much for this mod, because it's given us tons to talk about and it's deeply appreciated. <3
Thanks to both of you :)
Just want to double check so I don't goof this up again. I only need to drop the 7 Further Clans addon, into the folder, and not the cfg, dlg, etc etc folders, correct?
No, you have to paste the content of the "7 Further Clan" ("cfg", "dlg", ecc.) inside the mod folder (because you have to replace a few files to make it work). Overwrite all files when prompted.
And remember to NOT continue an old saving after adding these files, that might screw up the game heavily.
Yep I did do that, and for some reason I can only still play the first ones you've made, and not the new ones... Rip our sanity, because idk what I'm doing wrong. I even try the loader to specifically load your mod, but all it does is crash.
I swear I need a video or something to show me what I'm doing wrong, because idk what I could possibly be doing differently... sigh, I feel bad. I will of course keep trying, and I'll update whenever I get this thing to work, but yeah... Sorry Dx
Tomorrow I'll try to upload a guide step by step, I hope it will help you
Hey, sorry to bug you again, but is there a way to replace the models (if that's the right word) in this? I wanted to use the Ananke in this but with a Malk mod, this one specifically: Moddb.com
Sorry, I'm totally illiterate in this area and just dropping the files didn't work.
So you want the Ananke to use this mod as their models?
Usually female malks models (and relative mods) are stored in this path:
[installation directory]\models\character\pc\female\malkavian\
Ananke are instead stored in this path:
[installation directory]\models\character\pc\female\malkavian3\
If you've already dropped the files just go to this path:
[installation directory]\models\character\pc\female\
Then remove the folder "malkavian3" and rename "malkavian" to "malkavian3"
Hope this will works :)
It worked perfectly! Thanks so much for your help and quick response.
Thanks to you. Have a good time with my mod :)
Hellooo, I use Fan Made Translation, if I play with one of these clans will the translation it break my game?
Yes it will break. Choose either a fan translation or my mod. Sorry.
is it possible to ADD and not replace the originals?
Nope, the game is hardcoded to have only 7 clans active. Sorry.
Hey there, i'm new (sorta) to the whole modding thing, and i really wanna play the True Brujah, but everytime i copy and paste XTRAS - 7 Base Clans backup unto the Unnoficial Patch folder then start the game, i'm met in character selection screen by a giant MISSING. Any ideas on how to fix...that?
Hi
With the new version of the mod, once you have installed it you don't have to move files around anymore (or to install the UP before).
That folder is only necessary to, if you choose the "7 Further Clans" option, to return to the base 7 clans of the mod.
Hope everything is clear now :)
