Very Simple Question: How do I turn off Blood Loss?

Fledgling Posts : 3 Join date : 2014-05-18

I am currently playing through the base game with some visual mods and the Unofficial Patch. When I am done, I was considering playing The Final Nights mod, but I had a few questions. The big one however, is this:

Is it possible (And if so, how) do I turn off the Bloodloss system? Its the only thing I personally am not a fan of.

The other question is this: Does the Final Nights mod have any interactions with the Unofficial Patch (v9.0)?

If you want to get rid of the bloodloss you'd have to edit the script that governs it. There is no easy and simple way to do it.

No, TFN does not have any interactions with the latest Unofficial Patch.

Well is there a guide or any information on how to do it? If I gotta edit a script (or delete a script file) then so be it.

There is no guide for modifying TFN per se.

Go to the folder where the modded game is installed. There should be a folder called Vampire in it and in the Vampire folder there should be a folder called python. In the python folder there should be a file called vamputyil.py and another one called vamputyl.pyc. Make a backup copy of both files. Then delete vamputyl.pyc and open vamutyl.py with notepad.

Pretty much at the top of the file there should be this:

Code:: #Blood Timer (The Final Nights)
def OnBLEvent():
   pc = __main__.FindPlayer()
   if(pc.humanity >= 6):
   BLOOD_MAX_COUNT = 16 + pc.stamina * 2 - 2
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = __main__.G.BloodCounter + 1
   elif(pc.humanity == 5):
   BLOOD_MAX_COUNT = 16 + pc.stamina * 2 - 4
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = __main__.G.BloodCounter + 1
   elif(pc.humanity == 4):
   BLOOD_MAX_COUNT = 16 + pc.stamina * 2 - 6
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = __main__.G.BloodCounter + 1
   elif(pc.humanity == 3):
   BLOOD_MAX_COUNT = 16 + pc.stamina * 2 - 8
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = __main__.G.BloodCounter + 1
   elif(pc.humanity == 2):
   BLOOD_MAX_COUNT = 16 + pc.stamina * 2 - 10
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = __main__.G.BloodCounter + 1
   elif(pc.humanity == 1):
   BLOOD_MAX_COUNT = 16 + pc.stamina * 2 - 12
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = __main__.G.BloodCounter + 1

if(__main__.G.BloodCounter >= BLOOD_MAX_COUNT):
   if(not pc.HasItem("item_g_jumbles_flyer")):
   if(pc.bloodpool >0):
   pc.Bloodloss(1)
   print "Player loses 1 Blood point"
   __main__.G.BloodCounter = 0

~~Try deleting that section and saving the changes to the file. I think that should do the trick.~~

Do what Malkav said instead.

NEVER delete a function unless you REALLY know what you are doing!

Instead leave the first lines
#Blood Timer (The Final Nights)
def OnBLEvent():
untouched and comment the rest of the function out. Comment mark in python is #.

Seems simple enough then gents! Smile

Once I finish the regular game as my Malk I will give TFN a try Smile

With that one change haha.

Many things are based on the bloodloss system btw, so disabling it will give you a huge advantage in the game. You won't need to raise stamina to slow the bloodloss and you can play super evil and not worry about your blood draining faster.

Disabling won't break anything but you'll not need to worry about "survival" stuff that other kindred worry about. You should try it WITH the bloodloss on first because it's balanced beautifully and turn it off if you don't like it. But it's your call. Smile

I completely agree with Zer0 on this point. Actually, whenever I play a version of the game that is not CE or TFN I add the bloodtimer to make tha game more interesting. After all, for a vampire, blood is the essence of unlife and not just some mana to fuel the disciplines.
Only difference, I use a version of my own that starts on a 6 minute base for stamina 1 and humanity 6 to compensate for the higher blood cost and lesser duration of the vanilla disciplines.

...and Malkav would never steer you wrong. Try it with the blood timer first.
