Bottles of Blood [Vanilla Vampirism]

For those vampire thrill seekers out there, I introduce to you bottles of blood. These babies will satisfy your next fix, or introduce a few diseases into your system; they will not increment your necks bitten count. For those seeking to become vampires, I've included bottles of tainted blood. Tainted blood does not satisfy a vampire's fix, but instead increases your hunger. I've price matched a bottle of blood to a bar of gold which I think is a fairly reasonable price. If you don't like it, buy an empty bottle and fill it yourself.

**************************************************************************
Designed and exclusively tested for vanilla vampirism. It may not work properly with other vampire mods. If you like my mod and you would like me to adapt it for your vampirism mod, drop me a line and maybe we can work something out.

Now featuring The Bloody White Phial:
If you haven't completed the White Phial quest, this mod offers a new option for filling it, blood.

Now featuring the ability to bottle blood:
To bottle blood you must have an empty wine bottle, one of the two alto bottles works, see the pictures. These are common clutter items, and the blood vendors will happily sell you a couple.

Notice: Bottles of tainted blood are not guaranteed to cause Sanguinare Vampiris, although there is a pretty high probability that you will obtain it, especially if you strip first. So if you really want vampirism, I suggest saving and reloading if it doesn't work the first time. Bottles of regular blood will only give you random normal diseases, and not Sanguinare Vampiris.

Notice: About the Bloody White Phial, if you add it via console it won't function properly. This is because the White Phial's refill script is tied to that quest.

Available from these vendors:
Falion of Morthal
Enthir of the College of Winterhold
Babette of the Dark Brotherhood
Shady Priest in the Temple of Kynareth (By Request)
Vekel from the Ragged Flagon (By Request)

Changes:
-Can now craft Tainted Blood at the cookpot. Requires a bottle of blood, some vampire dust and some bone meal. Easier to buy from the vendors, but since they are in limited supply, thought some folks might like this. I don't find crafting regular blood at the cookpot quite as useful, although I've read suggestions of using human hearts and flesh from different mod comments. I think my solution of simply allowing you to bottle it yourself is just right.

-The White Phial quest has been modified to allow you to put blood into the Phial. If you already have the White Phial, your original choice should still work. I only noticed one discrepancy, I had an extra empty White Phial, that never filled itself. The other Phial filled as normal. Let me know if you run into any other bugs from this.

-Bottles of blood and tainted blood should now add empty wine bottles after use. Goes well with bottling the stuff yourself. Could always trash them though and buy fresh bottles (more expensive, but with the vendors it is easy to keep stocked).

-Added Vekel The Man to the blood Vendors list.

-Bottles of tainted blood now increase your hunger status by one point when drunk. To get proper effect, wait until vampire progression has cleared off your screen. Drinking while already in script will have no effect.

-Can now bottle blood at the feed dialog box; originally only worked if you had one empty wine bottle, now can carry many bottles.

-Fixed the bug where the vampirism states cycle improperly. If you continue to experience this error just wait til you pass stage 4 again, and it should fix itself.

-Tainted blood is three times more likely to infect you with Sanguinare Vampiris.

Thanks go out to Turbonegerboll for pointing out a significant error with the scripts that fill bottles of blood. I've rewritten the script and it should now function as intended.

-------------------------------------------
Potential Exploit
-------------------------------------------
Bottles of blood/tainted blood will ignore 100% disease resistance and I'm not entirely sure why (but I've noticed this with other Skyrim features, such as diseased traps). I haven't bothered to fix this, nor do I think I want to. Therefore you could potentially give your werewolf Sanguinare Vampiris by drinking tainted blood, and be a Were-Vampire.
-------------------------------------------
Bug Reports
-------------------------------------------
It has been reported that the Shady Priest of Kynareth may not sell bottles of blood/tainted blood. He appears to be setup correctly so I'm not sure what the problem is. If anyone else is experiencing this error, please let me know. If this appears to be a common problem, I will gladly repost in hopes that it solves the error.
--------------------------------------------

Future Considerations:
I'm not sure if the mod really needs anything anymore. It feels complete, aside from the instant vampirism potion, which doesn't work the way I want it to (adding an instant vampirism potion is actually exceedingly easy, the developers left a script that does it automatically, I do not believe it is in use by anything; it doesn't check for things like Sanguinare Vampiris OR being a werewolf though, and from what I've seen on some other mods might actually handle your feeding too; but maybe that was just the author's intent). If you have any suggestions I'm all ears.

Suggestions are always welcome, please report bugs, and please rate.
