Hello thought you might find something useful in my FAQ, hope you like it! 
Val if you dont like where I posted it you can move it or delete it
Edit: Fixed broken link to decompression tool.
You can change any character trait (well almost) in the traiteffects000.txt
I was able to adjust the Max 4 Physical Traits limitation on my Tremere to Max 5.
Also you can change or add any trait in the histories, basically make your own histories.
You want extra soak, you got it, and did you say infinite Fortitude (well I actually hadn’t this) but the durations/strengths of Disciplines are defiantly affected here as my Tremere get 12% bonus to Thaumaturgy and many histories have longer duration like Blood Buff.
Btw you don’t have to restart a new character any Custom Clan Histories or Traits you create are immediately effective.
This file is located in your Vdata/system directory; remember to back up your original before experimenting.
Time for a little update, I got sidetracked other stuff.
Seems you can boost any Attribute to a max of +10, i.e. Physical, Social and Mental.
That does not add to your 1-5 dots it is total you can get in any single Attribute.
Extraction
Ok everybody asking about these files we are using please get, Turfster's RED HOT TOOL
Don’t forget to thank him and buy him some beer, too. 
http://www.freewebs.com/dresdensinn/vpktool%20v3.5.rar
This tool unpacks your pack files, i.e. pack101.vpk, located in your Vampire-Bloodlines\Vampire directory.
Second Tool in the works, WOW looks GREAT, -Mordred-

Broken quest, bad dialogues, fixed rewards and fixed bonus/penalties, I be he likes beer, too
This is a page of he downloads, Vampire stuff is on the bottom.

XP Patch
Don’t forget you NEED MO XP, with Obex's Super XP patch; it adds about 15% more XP to your game, mostly to big quest adding a point or two.
I have always thought we didn’t get enough XP, I think its great, bet he likes beer, too

SuperJump
Here are the functions that effect jump, located in the config.cfg
sv_jump_boost "100.0"
sv_jump_maxspeed "350.0"
sv_jump_boost_immediate "1"
Normal jump is about 25 if I remember at a 100 where I have mine I jump as high as streetlights.
How to use any Model’s Skin for your Player.
Big Thanks to HellWolve for this tip.
In the Models folder pic you favorite Model Skin or skins, ill explain using one, which you allow you to make a different Model Skin for each armor if you wish.
Say you like Jeanette and your playing Malkavian and you want her for all your different Model Skins, everyone basically get 4, cause each armor in the game is really a Model Skin.
So Vampire\Models\Charater\Npc\Unique\Santa_Monica\Jeanette you get
jeanette.dx7_2bone.vtx
jeanette.dx80.vtx
jeanette.mdl
jeanette.phy
Then go to Models\Character\PC\Female\Malkavian you get \armor0 - \armor3.
I made a backup up folder in each of the folders called "1" like so \armor0\1 - \armor3\1.
Then move all the original files of each armor folder into the backup folder "1", now you have saved all your originals incase you need them.
Next copy all 4 of Jeanette's files into each of the 4 armor folders \armor0 - \armor3.
Next rename all 4 of Jeanette's files in \armor0 to the name of the original files which are now located in \armor0\1 which you can easily reference.
Next do the same for \armor1 rename all Jeanette's files to the names of the originals located in \armor1\1.
Do the same for \armor2 and \armor3, your finished start the game and enjoy.
Since your using the same skin (in this example) you will always see Jeanette using all 4 armors.
You can select which armor you want by cycling the F3 key in the game, once you get other armors.
Feats and Traits are a little different and more difficult, due to they have odd names like "Close_Combat_Brawl" is the Unarmed Feat.
I’m still working on getting all the correct names, also a Feat can only be boosted with these bonus points to a total of 20,
I’m guessing this is due to each Attribute and Trait can be maxed to a total of 10 bonus points.
It’s possible that an Occult item could boost a Trait/Attribute past 10, there by boosting a Feat past 20, still checking.
Ok its max 20 Occults don’t boost past 20.
Special Soak WARNING if you max out Soak_Pool, it seems to make armor and Occult items stop functioning in your game, thankfully I was using a test save game, be careful.
Hacking Stats on Weapons.
Just some basic stuff really altering your weapon stats, these are found in Vdata\Items.
Ok haven’t figured out how to modify the ammo total, so I just modified how much ammo fits in a clip.
Example the rifles will only hold 20, plus 6 in a clip, so I modified the clip to 90(or whatever) shots before reload.
There are some limits to how big you can make a clip, i.e. Killomatic is normally 33, and it seems to max out at 77.
Of course changing the Supershotgun to clip of 100 shot is very fun especially if you lower the kick also. 
Anyway I haven’t tested all the limitations but just backup all the weapons before you mod.
"Size" - Alters number of ammo in a single clip.
"Dropped_Ammo" - Alters the size of clips in dropped weapons.
"ReloadTime" - How fast your weapon reloads.
"Range" - Accurate range, depends on your Ranged skill also how accurate.
"SkillRequirement" - What Ranged skill level is required to use this weapon.
"BaseLethality" - Base damage of single ammo, before your Ranged skill is added.
"KickPitchMin" - Min setting for kick of weapon from top to bottom of screen.
"KickPitchMax" - Max setting for kick of weapon from top to bottom of screen.
"KickYawMin" - Min setting for kick of weapon from left to right of screen.
"KickYawMax" - Max setting for kick of weapon from left to right of screen.
"Accuracy" - How accurate the weapon is going to be.
Modifing your Disciplines for close to Constant On with no or adjusted cost.
Ill use my Tremere as an example first I edited my Traiteffects000.txt (Vdata\System) to give my Tremere, Presence with duration of 500 (random # of seconds active).
"Trait" "Presence"
"Modifier" "Duration 500%"
Then modified my Stats.txt setting all Durations under "Active Presence" to 500.
Then changed my Bloodpool cost from -1 to +1 as a test, 0 is probably best.
"Stat" "BloodPool +1"
Then started my game activated Presence and couldn’t even see the timer bar moving, plus I have activated, "Auto Renew" which unless its a different cost should only charge you 0 bloodpoints from your bloodpool.
Still playing with this so more to come but you can do this with any Passive Discipline like Fortitude or Potence.
Might be funny to have Trance or Hysteria on constantly (no Masquerade Violation) on while you go see the Prince Razz
Probably have to set the Invulnerable types to be affected in the Traiteffects000.txt first thou.
How to add or remove any Disciplines.
You can add or remove any Discipline (at least that I have tested), you can get all Disciplines at once, but you Hotkeys (default "K") wont work; the max you can have is 5 if you want your Hotkeys to work.
Each buy cost 10xp and each sell give you 10xp.
Vstats sell Obfuscate - If you have 1 dot you sell it twice, once to remove the dot and once to remove the Discipline.
Vstats buy Obfuscate - If you want to buy take one to buy the Discipline and one for each Dot.
Here is a Legend:
"+" or "-" -- Add or subtract to the base value
"*" -- Multiply the base value
"/" -- Divide the base value
"Max" -- The Maximum possible value is this
"Min" -- The Minimum possible value is this
"%" --
"Value" -- Ignore the base value. Use this instead.
"Cost" -- Use this cost structure instead of the default.
"BloodCost" -- Modify the BloodCost to activate this (discipline) by a given value (+/-).
"Damage" -- Modify the Damage from this (discipline) by a given %.
"Duration" -- Modify the Duration of this (discipline) by a given %.
Here are most of the bonuses or penalties, examples are:

Special Thanks, Beer and Pizza go out to:
Mireneye, HellWolve, E and Guest all have been a Great help.
Sadly I can’t link their post they were lost like so many and like mine their original accounts are still not working.
Ok its late this if very ruff and not complete or very organized.
I’m trying to put everything on this one post as I get more organized with more accurate info.
I was hoping it would be helpful just to get something out for you guys to play with so, please forgive all the errors (err like horrible spelling), exclusions and not checking them all yet.
Feel free to use or sticky this but please give me some credit.

I kinda forgot about this thread, bumping to the front page, since it has useful info.
Only one shamless bump in 18 months on this thread, not bad. |
