Love that Behind You picture, where you can just see Brig's face.

Is she going to rub the Buddha for luck?

Xiao looks very Lovecraftian in her monster-form.

Oh! The beginning of the end for Brigette!


Nice pics. I like seeing the temple again without having to go through it again

The name Kuei-Jin is interesting, btw. While I don't know about Kuei, I do know that the Arab word for demon is Djinn, which is where the word genie comes from, as in genie in a bottle. Quite appropriate that the Kuei-Jin calls themselves that.

That is bizarre about the etymology, and how the world cannot be read in the original languages!

Ok, here are the original directions for keyboards with number pads:
bind "KP_PLUS" "+camin"
bind "KP_MINUS" "+camout"
bind "KP_UPARROW" "cam_yaw 180"
bind "KP_PGUP" "cam_yaw 225"
bind "KP_RIGHTARROW" "cam_yaw 270"
bind "KP_PGDN" "cam_yaw 315"
bind "KP_DOWNARROW" "cam_yaw 0"
bind "KP_END" "cam_yaw 45"
bind "KP_LEFTARROW" "cam_yaw 90"
bind "KP_HOME" "cam_yaw 135"


And here is my setup using the directional keys, INS, DEL, HOME, END, PGUP, and PGDN:
bind "UPARROW" "cam_yaw 180"
bind "RIGHTARROW" "cam_yaw 270"
bind "DOWNARROW" "cam_yaw 0"
bind "LEFTARROW" "cam_yaw 90"
bind "END" "+camout"
bind "HOME" "+camin"
bind "INS" "cam_yaw 225"
bind "DEL" "cam_yaw 315"
bind "PGUP" "cam_yaw 135"
bind "PGDN" "cam_yaw 45"

Just copy and paste whichever you want to use into the autoexec.cfg file located in the VTMB folder (this may vary depending on what version you have. For example, autoexec.cfg was located in GOGgames/VTMB/Unofficial patch/cfg for my game). For good measure, I also put it in config.cfg and default.cfg, and deleted entries that had the keys I wanted to use assigned to something else. Now if I could just figure out how to move the camera up and down.

I took a second look at this and fired up Bloodlines. Turns out it won't work for me, not entirely. I use the WASD keys to move around, and mouse look to look up and down and side to side. With the default setup, I can use the 4 and 6 on my keypad to pan the camera around to look at my character face on. I just have to keep tapping the keys to continue spinning around.

I might be able to use the second half of it - from the END key down. I'll have to experiment with it the next time I play the game for real.

Brigitte's tale has finally come to a close! Pretty good sheet as well to go out on.



She may not be eating cake, but here's one anyway to celebrate ----->

The Sheriff/Batman fight on the roof was the longest, and most tedious for me. It just took forever!

Love her Lopov sunglasses!

Lacroix got his just desserts. Nice to see Brig make the right choice and not stick around to see what was inside.

Looks like Brigitte laughed last.

I liked the backgrounds too. They were a nice touch, especially since you can use them to reorder your stats priorities. I definitely preferred the game with the UPP over without it.

If you are a Tremere you can use the mind control power in conversations now, like the Ventrue and Malks can.

The model for the Tremere guy looks like the computer tech guy I often consult


Fun clan, btw. I really liked the Thaumaturgy discipline.

I really liked the blood armor power of the Tremere.

Oh yeah, it’s crucial! Especially for boss fights!

Never used that one. I tried it but it seemed not very powerful at all. I mainly rely on offense in this game.

That does not look good at all. I wonder what is really going on behind the scenes?

Well, this doesn’t bode well. Very disappointing.

And there is more firing going on with the designers of the new game. It is almost as if they hired a vampire for the project, and he is slowly killing off the crew one by one...

I sort of wanna play Bloodlines again but I am forever sick and tired of the MQ and all the dialogue now and Lily and E and the Ocean house etc. It was great the first few times but I've had enough.

Then yeah, you probably shouldn’t play it again, lol.

Anyway, looks like Bloodlines 2 has some hickup?

imagine if Beth had fired Todd Howard right before releasing any of their games.

That would make me more inclined to buy their games.

Wow, didn't expect that to happen after all the hype I've seen

Ok, so I figured out how to edit textures in VTMB1. First you need the VPK Tool.

The texture files come in pairs. One will have a .ttz extension, and it's partner will be a .tth.

Use it to open each texture file (which is the .ttz file), and convert it to a .tga.

The new file will appear in the same folder as the file you are converting. Then do your editing to it, and save it as a .dds file. You can use something like Paint.Net to save it to that format.

Now to go back to the VPK Tool, and open the .dds file you made, and convert it to at .ttz. It will automatically create its partner .tth file in the background.

I used this to change the hair color of a Selene from Underworld mod, to make her blonde. I might use it to play January.

Hey Subbie, how the hell do you use the VPK tool? I’ve worked with BAE for Bethesda games and it’s pretty straight forward but I’m not sure where things are being extracted to when I try to extract files.

I have not tried extracting things from the pack files, if that is what you mean. When you convert texture files, the new files are copied to the same folder that you got the original texture file from.

Oh. Well how do you get texture files converted if you don’t extract them? Is there a separate process that does this that I’m missing?

The ones I have been working on were from mods. So someone else had done the extracting already.
