VTM: Redemption.. HDTP Re-Texture Mod

[Javokis]

Changing the starting model is actually quite easy. You can change his whole template. Go to Chronicle folder then open the prague.nmf file with Notepad. Edit the PLAYER and the SPEAKER to another template. Be sure the template is a PLAYER TYPE. Here's a list of available player types that should work:

Christof
ChristofMod
Erik
WilhemMod
Serena
Lily
Pink
Samuel
MP_Christof_DA
MP_Christof_MD
MP_Erik
MP_Erik_MD
MP_Gothgirl
MP_Gothguy
MP_HeavyG_DA
MP_HeavyG_MD
MP_Kazi
MP_Kazi_MD
MP_Lily
MP_Pink
MP_Samuel
MP_Samuel_DA
MP_Serena
MP_Tremere
MP_Wilhem_DA
MP_Wilhem_MD
MP_Zil_MD

Then start a NEW game... enjoy.

I have plenty more where that comes from. A rather large encyclopedia of VTMR knowledge at e-mods.net.

Uploaded the file.

Is there any way for nude mods? Or just some simple changes for simple porn quality?
(About simple change, in Bloodlines we can just adjust a line command in ini file to make boobs bigger, or adjust a few line to point your character toward using an NPC model, like my Malk using VV body as an example)

I know it's possible to edit the textures for all models but I haven't tried editing models. Maybe it's possible (open the archives and see if you can find a way).


I DID find this site >> http://e-mods.net/modules/nodsdkprojects/

This is a must have tool for many modders of Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption since it is the only tool that can import and export .nod files. NOD files are models used in the game. This program is not free, but comes with a 30 day trial.

I remember using some other free program to export .nod files... Might've been LithUNwrap, but I'll have to check once I get home. Not sure if it covers imports though.

Good stuff man, good stuff. Looking forward to complete retexture.

One of my favorite games ever and much better game then bloodlines, in my view.
Combat is...as it is. But once you get use to it, it does kind of present a challenge being fully RT, in some weird way thats not immediately or easily likeable.

Yet the skills you can get, the way the whole thing operates inside its setting and the overall story stretching through history, while being driven by characters - is great.

You know, you can pause combat and issue commands. Only you need to use the pause buttan.

cant remember really... its been a very, very long time.

ERYFKRAD are you really sure about that? Cos if that is true i believe i owe a smack to the head to myself.

 

[Javokis]

Commands are limited while game is paused. It really doesn't work as advertised. If you pause while anyone is in the middle of an attack, you can't do anything with them. I have a video showing an attempt to pause and issue commands; From my let's play VTMR series on my youtube channel to be more exact. I really would like to do some "Mod Spotlights" of this HD-CP Texture project during my Let's Play series. I think I'm the only Let's Play of a MODDED VTMR. Usually, let's play videos are of the vanilla Redemption game.

Ah... ok. I got a bit worried im loosing my memory more then usual there for a moment.
Nice i wont have to smack myself too.

At least not too strongly. I think.

Well, the plan was to make the texture mod while I played the game. But I never played it past the opening areas where I started working on the textures instead of playing the game, then I moved on.

That said, these days I'm sure you can just do AI upscaling/edits of the textures of this game and easily get a HD pack going. I was doing manual edits, which included texture replacement, which is a longer process and can sometimes clash with the original theme. Whoever is interested, I'd look into AI texture edits people are doing for older games.


For those who are curious what this HDTP was like, some old shots restored (cause IMGUR seems to have removed older ones) on the thread, but I'll just post all on this post as well.

As you can see, my edits were replacements mostly, I guess coming closer to photorealistic gritty look. With AI upscaling, it would be easier to preserve original look now, especially since this game has more cartoonish visual style anyway.
