Real estate via computer or phone? and radio tunes

Some folks just want to tell Lacroix and Max to pound it up the old rear end, mostly the Brujah, Gangrel and sometimes Malks. Perhaps some form of buying a new haven via the computer would be possible? or if you want to keep your SM haven but pimp it out you could hire an interior decorator. Exit the building.. come back in and the place is all sweet looking with a few pinups adorning the walls

Perhaps even a theme for haven decorations, similar to fallout3. maybe a "caine theme", madness theme, adult sexy theme, or whatever else you can think of.

The radio could be cool with real songs as well, I modded my game before to play music on the radio but have completely forgotten how to do basic modding for the game.

Seen a couple of your other posts but didn't respond until now -- welcome to the forum.

As for the haven... yes, it would be great to change the Santa Monica haven, or even make your own. But the current Bloodlines engine does not allow changes to the maps. That means the blood on Mercurio's floor never gets cleaned up, no new havens, etc. No changes that are not hard-coded into the game.

There's a site called Bloodlines-Resurgence (you can Google it) that is trying to change Bloodlines to a new game engine, that would allow modders to actually change maps, and make entire new maps, for new adventures. Unfortunately, they've been working for a few years, and from what I can tell by their porogress they'll be at it for a couple more years at least. Me - I'm not holding my breath.

Another mod, Bloodlines Antitribu, has posted some interesting game videos at Planet-Vampire.com. It looks like they have changed the maps (at least at the Malk Mansion), which makes me wonder how they did it without breaking something. But that hasn't been released yet, either. Went to their site, but I was unwilling to register just to get info.

Yeah the hard coding is a real pain, I have not been active on the VTMB forum scene in a few years. I think its possible though to redo havens etc though with just recoloring.. ex.. new wallpaper, cleaned up tile, clean toilets, poster replacements, new bed linen and carpeting.. basically just cosmetic stuff. I remember I tried to extract some files and use photoshop to do a skin once but I have no clue how to use photoshop lol.. the extent of my art skills is a squiggly line using MS paint lol.

I dont think adding a basement is possible unless someone is an actual professional game designer / programmer.

Maybe I will try something simple like just changing the color of the carpet in the SM haven for kicks.. ill let you know how badly I screw it up haha.
