Work on CE 1.4 has started

Hello bloodsuckers around the world!

After the release of CE1.3, I just had to lay off this game for a while. But now I'm back to the modding table
The merging with the latest version of Wesps patch (7.0+) is finished. Now i will kill off the bugs from 1.3 and go for the first round of testing. When this is done, new content will be created.

Watch this topic for new info

-

That sounds great! What do you have planned for the new content?

I have some ideas, but I don't know what will work yet. And I don't want to make promises I can't keep. So please give me some time to get the first tests done.

-

That's good news I have to admit being curious also about the new contents... Patience...

patience is the key

You stopped helping us mod TFN for this? LOL jk

I already know some of your plans and I really hope you get it working! CE 1.4 is going to rock man!

I am very excited and can't wait to play through again.

O.K is seems to work quite well, so I'll reveal the first "big" project for the new version:

We had several complaints and suggestions about the music in the clubs. Now there will be djs in the three main clubs Asylum, Confession, and Asp Hole. You can ask them to play one of four different songs
What I need now is suggestions for the kind of music to play. I'm going to start a new topic in the ideas section for that. It would be great, if someone could organize a poll after we have some suggestions, and supply me with the necessary mp3 files, when it's decided.
For my knowledge of music that's newer than end of the 80s see this:

Maybe you should give the DJ a dollar or five. Usually when you ask a DJ to play a specific song you give him a tip most of the times The idea is awesome though

Good idea! I'll think about it.

-

Not life changing but really thoughtful of you.

malkav, would you replace that idiot chunk (and his brother as well) security officer in prince's tower? f.e to a sunglassed police officer or heavylather-male ventrue member or something

would be way more realistic that way, i hate that stupid fat pig .. how come to the camarilla's main building officer, pls.

a simple conversation that activate the elevator would be fine, no need tons of unique dialog, just a simple "prince is waiting" or clear" or something

Chunk is so cool! How can you not like him? He is such a great fun!
I vote against replacing Chunk with anything less awesome Actually I vote against replacing Chunk at all

me too, chunk is te best

.. doesn't fit at all if we are talking about making more realistic the game and not makeing "more funny/idiotic" imo

Even in the world of darkness... you cannot escape idiots.

"I see dumb people... sometimes they don't even know they're dumb"

Having stupid naive police officers that do not ask questions and are easely manipulable by the prince without having to ghoul him, is "WoD realistic"

even a fledgeling able to dominate/manipulate a healthy non-retard human

I never thought about replacing Junk with anything. But giving new dialogue options to the player is something I wanted to do for quite some time.

-

The World of Darkness is such a dark, evil, unforgiving place of wounds and despair. I personally think a little comic relief now and again, from Chunk, is a breath of fresh air. I vote keep him in the game, but if you want to do anything to him, change some of the PC dialogue options just for some newness. Actually you could even do that game-wide actually.

You thats what we're doing with TFN

hm good idea! i'll do that

if you want the game to be realistic the cops that shot you when you do crimes must be like chunk

I see dead people rofl

SoniMax, you see dead people? I only see undead ones here

Now the news for the day: The DJs are working quite well.
The email college has got a complete overhaul. It is now linked to the research feat, though not as srict as the requirements for the books. For reasons of game balance I put hacking back to computer and Wits. That's where i allways thought it belongs.
Now I'm working on hiding the items you can find on the maps unless your inspection feat is high enough, and randomizing their appearance at least a bit. Even if it turns out to be a shitload of stupid hacking And permanently watching for the unforgiving syntax of this bloody big reptile called Python

dead is just one of the kind people i see
good news, i'm waiting for more
