Is Camarilla Edition 1.5 still being developed?

Hello, this is your lovely hostess Deb calling for help. Is Camarilla Edition 1.5 still in development or Childe Of Malkav has abandoned the project?

Welcome to the club of people who like to stay up at night, Deb!

As far as I could tell, both Malkav and Zer0 went on well deserved holidays. But, don't worry, they will be back. they as much fans of this old, buggy game as we are. And, I dare say, even more so. They do more than play it.

Thanks for the warm welcome Feral Well it's good to know that this community is still kicking ass.

Hey Deb, and everybody else!

This reply is rather late (as we bloodsuckers all are )
I'm going to download Wesps 7.7 patch tonight. So if the merging goes well, I can probably upload a public beta version of CE 1.5 by the weekend.

Yay! Can't wait to start a new play-trough.

Another couple of houres out of my (un)life, spent in a world of darknes. Complete bliss...

Btw, dont you know what became of Zer0? He hasn't popped in in a while. Has he enterd torpor or what?

Feral, I had email contact with Zer0 last week. He's been playing (i.e. modding) with Fallout 3 lately. Don't know if he has planned or is planning to publish something for that game. He wanted to look into the forum again, but when

Thanks for info, man.

I hope he doesn't get the idea of starting to serious mod Fallout 3... would be a waste of one of the few great vtmb modders...

Hi folks,

First tests look good!
I'm sure I can upload CE 1.5 for open beta testing sometime tomorrow in the evening, my time (gmt +1)

Watch for more infos here and in the beta testing section!

It's in the Beta test section

I have just managed to include Akeem and his quests from TFN into CE. Now I'm going to extensive playtests. If nothing really bad turns up, I'll probably be able to upload the full 1.5 version very soon.
Any comments, observations, strange things where you don't know if they are supposed to happen, fron the people who downloaded the beta version? Please post your observations, remarks, whatever to the beta test section.

Great!!! Good job man.

Omg, did you see that burgermeister01 found a way to integrate new maps into Bloodlines?

Of course I have followed that topic on PV.

Sounds good, but I don't think, I'm the right person to develope a completely new map with new lighting, and whatnot...

Anyways, new maps require new NPCs (dialog, voiceover, lip-files....), good ideas for new quests, not only repetitions of the old fight the Sabbat, fight the hunters, get me this item, search for that thing stuff.

If someone wants to start a project like this, I'd be happy to assist with (python)scripting, merging it into existing mods, or getting a new one started, and other technical issues on bloodlines modding.

But a project like that can't be handled by one person alone, or it's full time work for a year or so. (bye bye real life )
So if someone wants to make the efford, and gets a team together, I'm your Malk. (put me in engineering, not on the bridge or in stellar cartography)

BG told me about it a few days ago. If.. If only all of your amazing brains could compile and merge, to create one super modder ! >_>

It'll take some time and energy to pull something amazing with it, but then again, all of you guys do this on your spare time on an alpha broken engine jut to keep alive an old game, for the lulz and the huge fans that we are.
I'll make efforts on my own to help the community as much as I can, but even tho I can type, I don't have animalism to tame the python >_<

Well, as I said, doing the weird stuff like handling the big snake and these spooky dialog files isn't the problem.
What I'm lacking is the creativity of the pretty suckers, and some organizing talent.
While I can be a team player, I could never be a team manager.
And as I stated in my previous message, I don't think adding whole new maps with new plot is something, a single modder can do on his (or her) own.
So if we want to take CE, and boldly go where no vamp has gone before, I'd need someone to take these things off my hands.

Camarilla Edition 1.5 is out.
Please keep in mind, that CE must be installed on a clear copy of the original bloodlines game. Do not under any circumstances install over another mod, or any patch, except for the official 1.2 patch, if this is part of your version of the game.

The new features in short are:

- updated to the UP 7.8
- the tutorial can now be done mostly without Jack. Just tell him to make it short, or to leave you alone, and then ask him where you can get blood...
- the e-mail college now replaces the lore books. With the college you can now obtain 3 more xp than you would be able to squeeze out of the books.
- custom music is now available in a lot of places. See the info files in the \clubmusic subfolder for details.
- the blooddolls, and most of the customers in the main clubs have been randomized now, so you don't meet the same people every time you visit a club.
- there are some more sins to confess to Venus, after you dealt with Boris. They are more game related, and if you are lucky, you can even get Venus as a blooddoll.
- the Bertram email quest to get the Nosferatu haven earlier in the game is completely overworked.
- the new hunter quest from the TFN mod is included.

Have fun, and good hunting

Many thanks for your gr8 work Malkav!

That sounds great Malkav! Hope to find time and give it another playthrough

Thanks!
