FAQ
- Do: The mod was updated at Sep 2024. Please test it and report any crashes. I believe most issues are balanced, but I need more data. The Skyline section and Dane before and after is still unstable, despite my best efforts. Thank you.
- Don't: Install my "trackerscheme.res" if you're using any gameplay mods.
- Don't: Use a resolution higher than 1920x1080 with "trackerscheme.res." If you do, consider using the Unofficial Patch’s original file instead.
- Don't: Unlock the "read-only" setting on `config/Config.cfg`. There's a known bug—if it's left unlocked, you won’t be able to feed. This is not related to my mod.
- Do:
- No audio? Set `bgmvolume "1.000000"` (Was fixed but still)
- Want subtitles? Set `cl_captions "1.000000"` (Default is no subtitles)
- Not able to feed? Rename the binding "vm_feed" to "+feed" in `config/Config.cfg`
- Then re-enable the "read-only" setting for the file. - Do: Start a new game after installing this mod. Old saves will cause crashes.
- Must Install: Download the Unofficial Patch +PLUS first, then install this mod.
- Don't: Install any other texture packs with this mod. It will cause crashes.
- Maps Folder: play the game first- If textures don’t align add the "maps" folder to override the maps, updated unofficial patch 11.5.
- Music Changes: If you don't want new music, don’t install the music files. Note: There will be no street music with these files.
- Modifications: This mod is my artistic expression. If you don’t like it, feel free not to use it.
- UI/UX: All actions, including hand models, are unisex and uniraced. If you don’t like the ghost hands, you can delete the "hands" folder in `Unofficial_Patch\materials\models\hands`. The game will revert to default hand models.
- Technical Limitations: It's not possible to keep animated textures while upgrading. Some textures, like the HUD, For example, we no longer have the red bubble effect.
- Want to revert to original music? `resource/mainmenuparticles` set the path to: "music/vampire_theme.mp3"
- Crashes with Hub Switching: Switching between hubs or loading large locations may cause crashes. I’ve tried to balance resolution and performance, but it still needs work. Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
- Test Compatibility: Try the mod and let me know how it works for you. If it’s stable, I’ll add that info to the documentation.
- GOG/Steam Maps Folder: These will override custom maps, updated 11.5 Unofficial patch
- Clan Quest Mod (CQM): Do not install 1. "maps" folder 2. "trackerscheme.res" 3. Vdata folder
- Undisciplined Caitiff: Use only the "materials" folder, but delete title textures in `...materials/interface/mainmenu`.
Note: Someone on the comment thread was very disrespectful and didn't stop arguing for no reason, That "type" of person will be blocked, as him. I'm not looking for praise, but i don't think throwing poop at me is also legitimate. I need Data to balance this mod so it will work properly. I need to understand better what i Can / Should do.
