[RELz] Nekhanimal's Awesome Vampire Mod!

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 8:48 pm

Ok here's the issue I'm having. I have the Glenvar Castle mod installed, and the very first encounter you have is a vampire clan living underneath. I killed 3 of the Vampires down there before deciding that it was a bit higher level than I could handle at my level, so I moved on. I started on the DB quests and accepted Vincent's offer to become a vamp. I then installed NAVM. I went back to the castle and started just walking around, safe and sound because I was a vampire. Well, I entered one area through a load-screen inducing door (we'll call the first side side "A", and the new area side "B"). After wandering a bit and pickpocketing a key, I went back to area "A" to check a different door. As soon as I was through the load-screen door, I received the expulsion pop-up, and was attacked. So I tried again, same deal. I loaded pre-pickpocket of the master key, same outcome. I tried the "setvampireisoutcast to 0," with the same result. As I type this I'm uninstalling and reinstalling the Glenvar castle mod in hopes that it will reset the whole scenario, so wish me luck. I was curious though as to if it was me having killed those other 3 vamps before I became a vamp myself that got me into trouble. Note that it was more than 3 days (standard reset) before I returned to Glenvar. Any help or explanation would be appreciated :)

EDIT:

Ok so I reinstalled the mod, and ran through it again. Would killing skeletons be enough to be expelled from a sanctuary? Things were very hairy escaping the halls with 15+ angry vampires chasing me, and now I'm scared to go back in =/ So I'm back at square 1 :P

I have found a bug. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but my vampire age is stuck at 129. I'm feeding on sleeping humans. Also, Vinceti in the DB offers you the dark gift, even though I'm already a vampire. I accepted it, just to get rid of the dialogue or see what would happen, so maybe that could be why my age is stuck? I even tried going to starving mode hoping it would age me when I feed, but its stuck at 129, right before I age, so its kind of annoying.

I had a PC that was a vampire before I installed this mod. It's not recognizing her age, nor is it letting her even get hungry. I tried waiting for 48 hours. Nothing.

CTDs:
Reneer's Guard Overhaul might be the problem, as both mine and his mod edits the Crime quest. Are there any CTDs while being approached by or talking to guards?

No vampire recognition:
It works on my system, I'll test it some more. Are you using the latest OBSE? Try entering these lines in the console:
set pcvampire to 2
set vampire.vampireishungry to 1
This should make you hungry, and the next time you feed your vanilla vampire abilities should go away and be replaced with mine. If nothing happens, it means the script hasn't been initialised properly for some reason.

Vampire expulsion:
If a vampire is killed while you are its combat target, you get the blame. This should only happen if you are actually present while the vampire dies. The problem you are describing sounds like some leftovers from earlier versions of the mod.

Vampire 129 age:
It's not a bug! You must seek help from vampire Patriarchs/Matriarchs in order to become an Elder.

I used those lines. I got hungry, feed, got to age 1 and then the problem was back. 4528287 more hours without feeding and still no sign of hunger.
I'm at age 6 now because I entered that line several times and I'm still hungry. I'm now taking the 10 sun damage, that didn't happen before, but that's about it.

Hey Nekhanimal, great to see you back and the mod in-progress - even if it is at a slower rate.

Look forward to 1.8 when it comes!

All right, exams will be finished in late May, so no new content until then. Bugfix releases, however...


To clarify some issues people have been mailing me about:

If your age is stuck at 129, 174 or 249, it means you need to talk to some vampire Elders in order to age any further.

If vampires are attacking you when they shouldn't, try turning ON Vampiric Senses and Yielding them (hold Block and talk to them, remember?). The same applies to mutinous ghouls.

If you are activating the mod on a vanilla vampire save, make sure you feed on someone as soon as possible.

I can not account for the behavior of vampires in other mods used together with mine.

And...


Grab

V

v1.7f

The hunger timer is now initialised properly when activating the mod on a vanilla vampire save. Remember, if you do upgrade from a vanilla vampire, the mod won't work correctly until you feed. Activating the mod on a non-vampire character and then getting Porphyric Hemophilia should still work.

Moved all optional files to an Extras folder.

Snippets of Lovidicus' dialogue will no longer find their way into conversation with other vampires. Also fixed some cases where Lovidicus would lose his dialogue.

The system that detects vampire kills is now smart enough to determine if the player actually did it, and blames you accordingly. No more instant exile upon entering a dungeon with a dead vampire!

Getting exiled from a clan now conveniently allows you to join the other clan, unless of course you are exiled from that one as well.

Included a GREETING fix for those who experience dialogue issues. See section 1 of the readme.

Being sent to jail as a vampire will now make you Ethereal, aiding your escape!

Fixed some major bugs in the Barbarian quest.

The Magedrainer quest-giver will now correctly give you the spell when you complete the quest (somehow his whole result script got erased in the previous version).

(Technical) A trigger ability has been turned into a token. Still lots more to go before any new content will be added to the mod.

Amazing, I think it worked 100%.

Still haven't tested the quests, but at least my hunger issues are solved.
Is a shame I accidentally deleted my vampire character (DB and MG rerun -.-)

Hummm ... okay forgive me if I sound like an idiot. Perhaps this was addressed and I didn't see it. If that's the case, I apologize.

I would very much like to download this mod. I run COBL & OOO as my two major mods. Add in a few cosmetic mods and fluff stuff like textures and that's about all I have. Seems I should be able to run this mod without issue.

The question I have and have been unable to find the answer is ... if my vampire character belongs to the Dark Brotherhood and
Spoiler
accepts the gift of Vampirism from Vincente ... eventually I have to end up killing him in the cleansing quest.
So with that in mind, have I just messed myself up by killing another vampire or has this been addressed in the mod itself. OR do I have to wait to become a vampire after this quest in the dark brotherhood and become vampire another way?

That's a good point. I should have mentioned this somewhere earlier, it's in the readme, though: As a vampire, you have three judicial "lives", if you will. This means you can commit three offenses (Killing or feeding on other non-important vampires. Killing or feeding on a Patriarch/Matriarch will insta-ban you) without being exiled. When you become Elder, you can commit ten offenses. So, if you stay a good little girl and keep your nose clean, you won't be excommunicated for murdering just one little vampire.

If you manage to force-feed him a Poison Apple or sneak-kill him in ONE hit, you may also avoid being blamed, because the script checks if he is in combat with you when he dies. Hope this works out.

Good evening, a pleasure to see this one isn't dead yet. I must commend you for your diligence.
I had this idea, that a vampire visiting a region ought to seek out the ruling vampire elder in that area for "hunting rights", for surely some form of etiquette would only add to the vampire experience.

Thanks for the fixit! It worked...kinda. I'm going to try it again though. My vampire's hunger is stuck, and I cannot activate her powers to feed. v.v

Silly question here...I've never used this mod but it sounds very interesting. Will it work with this, which I do use at the moment: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15697

or does it make it unnecessary?

I have played through with this and I have to say this is by far the greatest vampire mod Ive seen, but there is a small bug concerning the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17338. If you make a vampire with that mod, you are unable to talk to it as its sire, but only as a fellow vampire. Its nothing that major, but it would make more sense that your new fledgling would obey you or at least have more in the way of dialoge instead of treating you like the already exsisting vampires do

Just wondering if the VampireAllrightTopic is working correctly? I've just walked out of the DB in Cheydinhal as a new vampire and immediately everyone recognises me as a vampire. The conditions are all "GetActorValue Vampirism > 0.00". Does this mean As long as you're a vampire at any stage NPC's will be afraid of you? If so can I change the vampirism value so they never become afraid or only after a certain stage? Or not at all?
Also noticed this error comes up when loading into the CS "Package 'VampireSireWait' (0101C62C) is marked as must complete but cannot be completed". Is that normal?

Hi, Thanks for the great mod, it worked well with my vamp character, except that I didn't get Banish lesser power when I aged up to mature level. Possible bugs or something wrong with my installation?

Yah zabre it seems to be a load order issue. Had the same problem myself. Not sure which mod causes it yet. (boss seemed to put it ahead of something it didnt like)


From what I can tell the beautiful people.esp is having an effect on the vampiric senses toggle not working. I just placed this esp after beautiful people and it seems to have solved that issue.

hope it helps
