UPDATED SEP 2024

Read the FAQ below, I will not answer things already answered.





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.


Compatibility (MODS) Notes

  •  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.
