Companion mod questions
There are a couple of things from the companions mod portion of attitribu that I haven't been able to figure out.

First, How do you spend their XP? they seem to not have any, and the points that I spend while possessing them seem to be my own XP, not theirs, and it just goes away as soon as I unpossess them.

Second, When posing them, to get them to stop standing in stupid places and blocking my path through my own haven, how do I let go of them? I always have to reload after trying, since I can't "put them down"

Third, If they don't get their own XP, is their no way to level Heather up after I embrace her?

Fourth, If I always have Heather travelling with me, does she ever go get this super armor that I have read about in walkthroughs? and does she even still give it to me after I embraced her?

Better ask this in the Antitribu Mod forum...

Already answered question number 4, just got the body armor from Heather. Good point wesp. thanx. Just out of curiousity, were you one of the original developers, or just a super fan?

This is "old", but some of it may still be valid or at least, give you the general idea....

Playing Clan Quest with integrated Comp Mod Lite, I had a "get out of way" dialog option.

About the xp, see the possesion entry on the site.

I'm just a super fan ;), not even a programmer or someone with special knowledge...

Did you recently decide to give the game another playthrough? If so, how long since the last?

I only ever played Bloodlines once completely. After that due to the patching I never found the time again but for testing purposes I probably played some parts hundreds of times!

Well, if you wanted to play it again you could use your steam version as a "play copy" and play Clan Quest for some unpredictable content (I enjoyed the exclusive quests), and you could also make your profile private to hide your playtime from nosey people with nothing better to do...

But, I guess that to enjoy a mod, you would first have to be able to keep your analytical mind in check and just try to be entertained, as when watching an old sci-fi film. (not always easy)

Anyway, back in 2004 , I thought that I would never get a chance to play vtmb (I had long before played a Gangrel in a P'n'P campaign), years later, a generous person gave me an old computer and I when I asked them about vtmb they said, "forget it,too buggy". A few years later, I tried to satisfy my curiosity by watching part of a playthrough and researching the patches (I believe this was the height of the "patch wars" era). Still, a few years later I could not manage to shake the urge to play vtmb, so it took me about two more years to catch a five dollar sale, and that brings us Oct 31 2013.

So THANK YOU to everyone that contributed to the UP.

It's such a shame you never got around to playing the game much and enjoying the amount of hard work and effort you've poured into this game.

Surely you must consider playing the game again :)


P.S. Any ETA on UP 9.3?

Don't despair, I play it all the time, only not from the beginning to the end ;)! And I enjoy every little piece that I notice while doing this :)!

I'm starting the second beta test this week, once this is done it can be released!

I was going to say if you never got around to playing this game you are severely missing out haha.

Good news on UP 9.3. Can we expect much changes or moreso bug fixes?

Much changes and much bug fixes. The biggest thing will be that from now on you can install several mods at a time and select them like in other Source game from a "-game Mod_Name" shortcut. You still can't mix them, but this should make playing mutilple mods much easier :)!

Besides that, 9.3 will include two brand new maps! The first one is the Malkavian Maze for which there're several beta screenshots and a lot of unused textures. Upside down rooms, crazy writing on the wall and more. Gameplay wise it's a shortcut to avoid the basement fighting. The second one is the Warrens Shortcut because even Leonard Boyarsky said in a recent interview that this section was too long ;). Again it is intended for less fighting character builds as a shortcut there.

I had heard of the Malkavian map a while back and it's a shame Malk. players never got that. Sounds like yet another reason to love that clan and to do another Malk. playthrough!!
