Now available on e-mods.net is DarkLobo's newest GigaPack for Redemption. This pack has tons of game converted models, Bloodlines models among them. Check the pack out at E-Mod's Model Section and enjoy.

Keeping the files area as updated as we can, I just added Halofarm's Reworks Mod to the files area. It's a pack of well done high-res replacement skins for those who know Venus' butt would look better if only she wore denim... Well, she does now... Check out the file page here and the discussion here.

Today I added both the CompMod and the ReliVe Mod to the files area of the site that was Paine's archive. I also updated the files links on the left side of the front page to more easily direct you to the files. I still need to update the Bloodlines "Patches" and the "Files" area of the Redemption section of the site, I'll probably get to that Friday.

It seems more and more mods are coming out for both Bloodlines and Redemption and if there are mods not hosted on PV that you know of, please send me a PM in the forums and I'll upload it ASAP.

|warrior|$hacaR has released his ReliVe mod that upgrades various character and weapon skins and sounds. This mod has been in the works for some time so if you're looking to play a new round of Bloodlines, why not give it a try?

The download link and discussion can be found in this thread

Below is a preview video showing the mod in action:

Now that Paine's Site is archived on PV, we need to have a way to upload new files into the archive. The only way for me (Signothorn) to do this is to copy/paste code and upload the files manually to our FTP. If someone knows a better way, let me know.

For the time being,if you wish to upload a file to PV directly, you can upload it using your own hosting service and sending me a PM or email it to PVUploads@gmail.com.

We will eventually have a better system but we have new mods coming out and we need something to tie us over until something better comes along. I'll probably be checking the email listed above once a week but it's probably a good idea to PM me anyway letting me know.

Forum member "Non_applicable" directed us to this article about the European GDC '09 where CCP Games CEO, Hilmar Pétursson, will be announcing a new project already in pre-production.

A quote from the article reads: "As a testament to the industry's potential for growth despite widespread economic turmoil and as an inspiration for up-and-coming independent studios, Pétursson will give an exclusive first look at the company's latest project, which is currently in pre-production." We can only assume this is the World of Darkness MMO, but it could very well be a closer look at Walking in Stations or any of the other projects CCP announced at last year's Fanfest."

Is it the news we've been drooling for? We'll have to see. Further discussion on this topic can be found in this thread.

As you may have seen posted as news on Paine's Site, the archives of his site are now on PlanetVampire and his site will be closing soon. Paine uploaded them to PV and created a nice directory between Redemption and Bloodlines files, you can find them here or by clicking the "Files" button on the right side of the front page.

We'll be working on better integrating his archive into PV and once again thank Paine for his support of VTM games over the years and help getting the archive set up. We don't currently have a way to submit new files just yet but that's coming, we'll let you know as soon as we have it in place. In the meantime, you can upload it using another service and post it in our forum then we'll upload it to the FTP and modify the archive.

Sad news to the VTM community but Gamespy's free hosting service is being discontinued and Paine's Site will be a casualty of this. We've offered to help Paine with hosting and domain but he's chosen not to do so at this time, the offer will always be open if he ever changes his mind.

While we haven't completely decided on how we will host all the mods, rest assured this won't be another Vamp-Depo situation where much of our history was erased. The site and mods will be backed up and all mods will be made available on PV before the final curtain call of his site.

Javokis' old Gamespy-Hosted site will also be closing down but he has plans to keep things going on his main site, Emods.net.

First off, Dante and Wesp5 are now PV Staff members. This should come as no surprise, Dante has been a mod at PES for a while now and has contributed a great deal to the community both in the forums and behind the scenes when issues come up in the forums and informing Skyra, Jav and myself via PM. Wesp contributes a great deal to the Bloodlines community and drives allot of traffic here. He also assists others in the creations of their mods and has shown a great ability to work with others and keep the Bloodlines part of our forum going. He will essentially be in charge of the Bloodlines content on PV going forward. However, I will note that neither Dante of Wesp have moderator abilities until Gamespy changes their status per our request from a couple weeks back. Also, only Skyra, Jav and myself currently have the ability to post news on the front page atm due to a complete overhaul of the news posting system in the works.

Going forward, we need one or two people who can really take charge of the upcoming MMO portion of PV content. This includes:

-Quickly gathering info as it comes out and making the community aware of it ASAP.

-Contributing ideas to make the site better in terms of promotion of the MMO and making PV continue to be a leader in promoting White Wolf games.

-Promoting and networking with other sites who also host content pertaining to the MMO. This means promoting them as well, we've kept this community alive for many years by promoting each other rather than competing with other sites and I think the sentiment of the current staff would agree this is the direction we should continue. There is also no conflict of interest if you already run a separate site with WOD MMO content so feel free to apply.

All staff get access to the hidden moderator forum where we share ideas to improve the site and work together to problem solve when issues come up ect. Anyone who wishes to be part of PV staff, please either post in this thread or if you wish to nominate someone, give us a name and we'll look into it.

In the community area of the PV site, we had an old listing for an IRC chat that hasn't been used since probably 2004. I just added a new chat service to replace it so if you wish to chat in real time with other PV members, feel free.

I'm also looking into other ways for us to communicate better so if you find another services, such as Stickam to be better, feel free let me know and I'll look into it. You can see the new "Chat" page here, but I'll post the embed below.

Dhue has released a new version (1.4) of his CompMod that among other things, allows you to have NPC's as companions throughout the game.

Some feature upgrades in this version include:

Battle Cries added.
- Companions who talk now shout personality specific expletives when combat begins.
- Battle cries are read in from battlecries directory. Add your own if you wish.

Music Manager Version 1.0:
- When enabled, now manages all background music, including music in clubs and the original games background music if you simply want to turn the background volume down.
- When playing custom music, now identifies and ignores MP3s that will crash the game
- By default, Music Manager will only play your custom songs when the original game had background music. You can change this behavior to "always on" in mods.cfg.
- Option included in mods.cfg to autofix broken MP3s so that all custom MP3s will always work.

Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed Lily Quest bug where Doris would not give Lily's stuff to PC
- Added Code to fix Kamakzi Zen and LuckyStar key issues.
- Long Winded Boss Bug fixed: Companions (who have not been told to stay put) now hide when you are talking to bosses and teleport in front of you when conversation ends to provide cover and ensure their gunshots are not hitting you in the back of the head.

Been around 3 years since the last Age of Redemption mod was launched. A lot has changed since then. I had lost all of the source code from the 2006 edition. So I've had to start over from scratch. The new 2009 edition is a complete rebuild of the 2006 version. So the bugs that might pop up may be new and different from the old 2006 bugs. So please report any problems you are having with AoR 2009 edition. You may report bugs in the forum here.

Wodal Mod 0.4a Launched

Wodal 0.4a launches with full single player support. You may check out the mod in the Mods section of the e-mods.net website. You can also find out more about the mod in the e-mods.net forum here.

Emod 1.9 Back In Development

Emod hasn't been touched since the last launch of 2004. I have some plans for brushing off the dust on this e-mods.net's flagship mod. It's about time the ol' mod saw some renewed development. You can see what all development plans are in motion for Emod 1.9 here.

Rolling, rolling, rolling. Keep that mod truck rolling. ;p

The Redemption community has been very active lately, more to follow on that soon.

Cl0wn is a great modder and skinner for Redemption. If you haven't visited his site, you owe it to yourself to go check out all of his work. He has just released a new version of his Souls In Exile mod which can be downloaded here.

This pic was posted in our forum but you can see many others on his site, the work is highly detailed and we look forward to seeing more!
