The new list: UP: List Of Mods/Changes Added To VTMB

Schu · June 02, 2011, 02:25:21 AM

Well the new list is done and its a long one. For the sake of accuracy I am only showing the "Basic" version of Wesp's UP in this list, so I dont want to hear "you left parts of the plus version in your list" or "you didn't use his change log". It's a moot point and it's Wesp's patch notes. So dont even think it. I'm just trying to show those who dont understand (or are too lazy), what Wesp has done to Bloodlines over the years.

I also removed the listing for Turvy's tools, DanUpRight's work, the True Patch and offkorn's work, because they can be found in another list. Which is sticked on this broad. Also for the sake of size I have removed the listings for versions 1.3 to 3.5, which is before Wesp created the so-called basic and plus patch versions. The total number of changes for basic will not be altered.

Some of the actual fixes in the Unofficial Patch and even a couple of the mods (that could be considered fixes), are similar as what is found in the True Patch. The big difference is, that the TP was designed and built to fix the bugs in the original game without altering it to the authors personal preference. I can not say the same about the UP, it has been altered too the point that it no longer resembles the original game. Dont get me wrong here, I love modding my games, mods can add re-playability to an old game, but Wesp forces his mods/restorations on the users of the Basic UP, not just the Plus+ version users. That said, on to the list.

Sorry for what looks like a jumbled mess, but this site apparently doesn't like open office.

Unofficial Patch Basic/Wesp5 v1.3 to v7.5 5/2011

Quoted from Wesp5's own patch notes:
The default basic patch fixes multiple bugs and restores only unused content that has little impact on the gameplay. The optional plus(+) patch adds further improvements and restored content, see changelog.

Judge for yourself, but the comment in orange is a false statement "in my opinion, and the statement about the so-called plus(+) patch is misleading.

Legend for comments

POSSIBLE FIX = Maybe a true bug fix or one Wesp created himself
? = Questionable, maybe a real bug fix or something Wesp created, uncertain about listing
RESTORATION = Put back to original state
N D = Need details, need more details why it needed fixing. More information please
W B = Something Wesp broke threw a previous change or mod
CHECK-XXX = Check listed line or version number to see where bug/issue possibly came from

v3.6 23.05.2007
This is the point where Wesp created the Plus version and it is unknown if anything above was omitted, restored to its original state or remains in the Basic version (this is why we need details Wesp). I will remove what I can find or alter my comments as needed.

623. Restored Protean warform hopping and basic stats, but lost the info      (W B)(CHECK-7)
You never give details for your changes/alterations, so why list, "lost the info" now? Anyway, I did find it.

630. Restored original flicker-less decals to Dane, netcafe and warrens      (RESTORATION)(MAYBE)
Again, it is hard to tell if this is returning the game to its original state.
631. Fixed some dialogue issues of Imalia, LaCroix, Isaac, Jack and Phil      (W B)(CHECK-11)
Wesp has been into so many of these files that I cant tell if its a fix or something he broke.
632. Adjusted a too strong history and removed many possible text loops      (MOD)
633. Locked outer Tawni door                     (ARBITRARY)

637. Fixed eye colours, thanks to Zer0Morph2000               (MOD)
Dont let Wesp fool you, this is not a fix. It is a mod, a good mod, but still a mod. The mod by itself can be found at moddb under their Bloodlines listing.
638. Prevented Heather from appearing in Hallowbrook if you ignored her      (MOD)
Why would you do that? If you ignored her, then you wouldn't know about her, so leave her alone. That could be just some chick that the Sabbot kidnaped off the street as a plaything...."again" let people use their imaginations. It's an RPG after all.
639. Restored dialogue tutorial popups                  (AGAIN)(WESP BROKE)
640. Removed Ventrue's rat feeding                     (W B)(CHECK-v2.0)
So that is where you made it so Venture's can feed on rats. Big no no. Even I know this is a clear violation of canon. The Ventrue cant feed on rats, they also have a vomit check on bums and low lifes, and it took you this long to get around to putting it back the way it belongs.
641. Added the frenzy animation to common NPC models, thanks to DDLullu      (MOD)

648. Restored Lu Fang, Therese and hustler to Lotus Blossom and Vesuvius      (MOD)

658. Used alternative stripper skins at Sin Bin, Vesuvius and Giovanni's      (MOD)
659. Restored over two hundred scenery props and over forty sign decals      ?(MOD)(NEED DETAILS)
This a perfect example of "are we mind readers", did you restore them to their original state from a mod, or did you mod them in from extra material on the disk's? Please Werner, inlighten us on your great vision....or lack there of.
660. Added breakable tomb stone, gas tank, board and phones to warehouse   (MOD)

Ah, you mean you figured out what "c_maxdistance and c_mindistance" actualy do? Good....STOP PLAYING WITH THEM. Your breaking your own mod by doing so. The Ventrue had no such issue. Dont know about Tremere.
669. Removed poster quests from basic patch               (MOD)(CHECK-629)
670. Added a log for Tourette                     (MOD)

679. Fixed static NPCs on downtown hub                  (POSSIBLE FIX)

How many times are you going to fix what has already been fixed. Quote "All dialogues matched to speech and fixed thoroughly by RobinHood70". This was taken from v2.0. Please stop adding broken content from the disk's, you're defeating you're own purpose.

804. It seems the new Python version in the 7.6 patch has issues with Windows 7 64 bit.   (W B)(CHECK 801)
WHAT? Yeah right wesp, 2.7 works just fine in Win 7 64bit, any programer worth a shit, knows that if you change a coding/scripting engine you must also change the code/script to match the new engine. I'm new to coding/scripting and even I know that. Maybe you should go back to school.

There are a lot of things that have been changed/altered that are not in Wesp's patch notes. Like the fact that he put cop cars on the main hubs or that he put a pad-lock on the gate for the oil tanks where Bertrum Tung is hiding. Thats not even mentioning that he and someone else broke the console (that, is in the notes check-572).

On the issue with the cop cars.

One: It is killing the ambiance of the game. We are supposed to be a vampire in a dark, seedy, underworld that we will never see in real life...but wait. Here comes Wesp...he will put in cop cars to make us feel safe and at ease.

Two: I know Wesp has never been to L.A., or he would know better. I have lived in Harbor City, Wilmington and Santa Monica, so I can tell you this. You are lucky if you see even one cop car a day in those areas. The only reason you see so many cops downtown or in Hollywierd, is because of gang activity or to help protect the tourists.

Addition: I have found that Wesp has removed the cage dancers at Confession, in his 7.9 basic version, as well as a few other mods.
I also found that he added Italian graffiti on the side of Fat Larry's truck (I don't know what version added that).

Tessera · June 02, 2011, 06:32:02 AM

Thanks for the good work, Schu. Speaking as someone who is intimately familiar with the nuts-and-bolts of VTMB, I'll just comment upon a few key points...

The first thing that becomes obvious is the fact that roughly half (or more) of the "repairs" listed in Wesp's patch notes are things that were -not- broken in the original game. They were things that Wesp himself broke in previous versions of his work, thanks to his own ineptitude. So then later on, Wesp goes back and fixes his own fuck-ups, in a later version of his UP... and very cleverly neglects to mention WHY he had to make those repairs. Which in turn misleads the end user into thinking that Wesp has fixed all sorts of legitimate bugs when in fact, none of those bugs existed within the original "plain vanilla" game. Well gee, Wesp... what a surprise.

I've been saying for years that Wesp's "patch" has managed to introduce more bugs than it actually fixes... and Schu's detailed listing has now confirmed that assertion. This is important... because I've seen many comments out there which say something along the lines of "Well, Wesp's patch fixes more bugs than the True Patch does." Actually no... it does not. But I can understand why some people may have been misled into thinking that it does, after reading Wesp's endless list of supposed bug fixes. But now that Schu has actually analyzed Wesp's patch notes in detail, it is quite clear that the bulk of Wesp's "repairs" were the result of things that WESP HIMSELF BROKE. Hence his bloated patch notes.

The True Patch, on the other hand, has NEVER introduced any new bugs to Bloodlines. We either fixed something that was legitimately malfunctioning within the original game... or else we left it alone. That's what any legitimate patch should do: fix bugs, not introduce new ones. Why do you think I called it the "True Patch" in the first place..?

Back to Wesp's UP fiasco...

Of the remaining items on that list, most of them represent completely arbitrary modifications to the game. Those items were not broken, nor were they malfunctioning in any ways whatsoever in the vanilla game. Wesp and his adolescent followers simply decided that the game would be "better" if those items were modified. That's not a patch -- that's a mod.

I laughed when I saw his note about the screen fonts. There is nothing wrong with the screen fonts in VTMB, aside from a small error in the letter "W" file from the Intimidation font set (which I repaired in the True Patch). If Wesp or anyone else is having trouble reading things in Bloodlines, then I suggest getting a larger monitor. Or maybe get an eye exam... you might need glasses. But resizing the fonts is completely unnecessary and might actually end up making the game look too "console-ish," for lack of a better term.

I always wondered why Bertram Tung never reacted to being smacked... until I looked at the SM hub map file. He was set that way on purpose by Troika, to prevent him from possibly wandering away from a couple of hidden map triggers in his lair. Hence he remains rooted in one place and will not engage the player in combat. Venus Dare inside the Confession Club is rooted in the same way and for the same reason. This was a design choice by Troika, and it represents a concession to the imposition of required map mechanics. What Wesp has done here is to potentially introduce another NEW bug which did not exist in the original game.

Another big chunk of those patch notes seems to be filled with lots and lots of completely arbitrary texture and model changes. I have no doubt that many of those changes were pushed into the UP by inept "modders" (and I use that term loosely), such as Moocha and a few others from the PV crowd. I wouldn't let those untalented bozos re-skin my copy of Diablo II... let alone a game as beautiful and intricate as Bloodlines. But once again, Wesp is making his PV buddies happy... and simultaneously forcing those arbitrary (and amateurish) changes upon EVERYONE who unwisely installs his UP.

Now then, regarding Wesp's "restoration" of unused floats:

First of all, we need to explain to everyone what a "float" refers to in VTMB. Specifically, floats are audio files, which contain spoken incidental dialogue for various NPC's. A float is triggered when the player gets within a certain distance and angle to the NPC in question. When you get close enough, it triggers a float line and the NPC will mutter something or other in response. Usually, these lines of incidental dialogue are really just a bunch of muttering... such as "Sorry, no speak English" for the Chinese girls, or "A little deodorant tonight maybe, baby?" for Misti in Vesuvius. Stuff like that... just a bit of ambient chatter.

During the creation of my own VTMB Mega-Mod, I played around quite a bit with all of those unused float lines. And as I was testing them out, I quickly began to realize why Troika had DECIDED to disable most of them in the final game. The reason is because when you enable all of those float lines, the NPC's start to become REALLY annoying and idiotic after awhile. They repeat the same lines often... and as a result, they become less believable as real people. Instead, they come across as a bunch of mindless, chattering automatons. So in my own Mega-Mod, I decided to use only a very select few of those previously unused float lines. I left the rest of them disabled... as they should be.

If you have ever played TES: Oblivion and listened to the incidental conversations that occur between the NPC's in that game, then you will get an even better idea of what I am talking about here. At first, it is delightful to hear the NPC's talking at odd moments. It seems to add more realism to the game, right..? Well... wrong. Because after awhile, their dialogue ends up becoming a cacophony of idiotic chatter... to the point where it can actually become immersion-breaking. Eventually, the player ends up shouting "SHUT UP, already..!!! You sound like a fucking ROBOT..!!!"

Hence the omission of most of the float lines from the final version of VTMB. I have no doubt that after they did a few test runs, Troika noticed the same immersion-breaking factors as I did and thus, they wisely decided to scrap most of those floats from the final version of VTMB. So once again, Wesp has re-inserted a bunch of cutting room floor garbage back into Bloodlines... without once considering whether or not it actually belonged there. "Oh goody... look at what I found..!!! Let's put this back into the game, even if it sucks..!!!" As usual, Wesp is laboring under the "more is always better" mindset... which in the case of an atmospheric RPG like Bloodlines, is entirely the WRONG mindset for anyone to adopt. Mood and atmosphere are FAR more important in an RPG than simple bells and whistles.

I will finish up my comments about the float lines by pointing out something else that everyone may not be aware of. Those unused float lines were not omitted because of a lack of time on Troika's part. They were omitted ON PURPOSE by Troika. How do I know this..? Because I know how those lines are triggered, that's why. Whenever an NPC was added to the map, Troika started with a set of default map entries which are common for every single NPC. Those default entries included references to float lines and float frequency. The float files had already been recorded and the float directories had already been established... hence the game maps were automatically generated (at first) with all of those float references included. TO DISABLE THEM MEANT HAVING TO GO BACK INTO THE MAPS AND EDIT OUT THOSE FLOAT LINES ONE AT A TIME, which is obviously MORE WORK on Troika's part. Get the picture..? Those float lines had to be DELIBERATELY DISABLED by Troika, otherwise ALL of them would be functioning by default. Bottom line: the float lines in VTMB were disabled because that is the way Troika wanted the game to be. DISABLING THEM WAS INTENTIONAL ON TROIKA's PART. IT HAD TO BE.

Sorry for the rant, but most VTMB players have no idea how the nuts-and-bolts of this game operate and hence, they can be very easily misled by an egocentric jackass like Wesp. Those are not "restorations," folks. Troika took out the garbage... but then Wesp ran out to the curb, and hauled it right back into the house. Errm, so to speak.

The same can be said for a shocking number of the remaining items on that huge list.

Once again, I wish to thank Schu for taking the time to do a line-by-line analysis of Wesp's deceptively mislabeled "unofficial patch." The more we dig into Wesp's patch notes, the more horseshit we discover.

Quote from: Schu on June 02, 2011, 02:39:24 AMI know Wesp has never been to L.A., or he would know better. I have lived in Harbor City, Wilmington and Santa Monica, so I can tell you this. You are lucky if you see even one cop car a day in those areas. The only reason you see so many cops downtown or in Hollywierd, is because of gang activity or to help protect the tourists.

I lived in Hollywood for 12 years. You are absolutely correct. 100 percent. There's a few cops who patrol the tourist traps and as for the rest of town, it's basically an un-patrolled war zone. Troika did it right -- and Wesp is doing it wrong. But what else is new.

Schu · June 02, 2011, 07:26:39 PM

Your welcome, I was happy to do it, but I will not ever do something like this again

Though I have to admit, it was an interesting experience, going through his patch notes, then testing the different versions of the UP, then going through the UP files to try and find what he did to break it. As the vets of these boards know, I had been at this for a couple of months.

The highlighted part of this quote is one of many reasons I use the True Patch. If anyone looks carefully at some of my comments, you will see that Wesp "fixed" some invisible Python bugs. One of the things I have learned as a CNC machinist (and now an amateur Python programer), is that some times you have to introduce a bug (or a command that makes no sense) into the program to get the program to work properly and that doesn't mean it will create an error. It is usually done to prevent the system from malfunctioning. Wesp apparently doesn't know this, because those so-called invisible Python bugs may be there for a good reason, which means he may have introduced a new bug or as many as 100 (it could even cause the system to crash), depending on the bug, and there are quite a few still in Bloodlines.

"If it ain't broke dont fix it." I honestly believe that Acrimonious and Tessera know this well and my hat is off to them for doing such a great job.

Quote from: Schu on June 02, 2011, 07:26:39 PM
"If it ain't broke dont fix it." I honestly believe that Acrimonious and Tessera know this well

Indeed. Back when we were creating version 5.04AT of the True Patch, that saying became a sort of mantra for us both. There were lots of times when one or the other of us would bring up a particular issue that we discovered within the game files... and whenever we had a dispute over how to handle it, we would fall back upon that mantra. "Is it actually broken..? No..? Well then, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it."

And believe me, we had plenty of small disputes along the way. But since our ultimate goal was to avoid introducing arbitrary changes as much as possible, we ended up tossing lots and lots of ideas into the waste basket. We were making a patch -- not a mod. So all of those nifty ideas were shelved, on the assumption that we could always include them within an optional VTMB mod in the future.

Anyway, that happens to be my own personal set of ethics, when it comes to producing third-party patches. The end user should always be allowed to play the actual game that they paid for... not someone else's arbitrary and subjective rewrite of it. It isn't up to me to force any changes whatsoever upon the end user that weren't absolutely necessary. I'm not a dictator.

But obviously, Wesp and his crew have an entirely different set of ethics... or maybe they don't care about ethics at all. You be the judge. I've already made up my mind about Wesp, a long time ago.

Schu · June 12, 2011, 06:11:10 PM

Well now, I am really surprised that none of the UP users have come here to comment on this list, even jerky is silent (I think we scared him off Tessera). It has been up for 10 days now and I even got a PM on the Steam forums from Wesp about it, yet I still only hear crickets.

Like I said before and I'll say it again. I am not above altering/correcting the list for accuracy, but you must bring solid information on what and why a certain part should be changed (no generalizations please, that means no more change logs, the list is long enough as is) and dont try and pick a fight/argument.....that will lead to nowhere, plus you will lose. I want good info not opinion, also if you are asked a legit question, just answer it, dont continue to argue a moot point to step around the question.

Because they know that it's accurate -- and they don't have any rational rebuttal for it. What could they possibly say..?

All you did was to create a list of exactly which things were arbitrarily altered by Wesp... in -every- version of his grotesquely mis-labeled "patch." You didn't make any of that stuff up... it was taken directly from Wesp's own patch notes, along with your own examinations of Wesp's code blocks. And anyone who wanted to could easily verify your list as being 100% genuine.

Sure, you've expressed a few personal opinions about Wesp's changes along the way, but personal opinions do not negate the facts of the matter.

So if you were one of Wesp's acolytes, then exactly what sort of retort would you have for a topic like this..? Because I'm a smart guy and I can't think of a single argument to make against it. The facts are the facts. Not liking a fact doesn't make it any less true. But try telling that to the PV pee-wees, who spend half of their time sucking Wesp's cock and the other half pretending to be a cute little carebear Rambo with fangs.

It is what it is... and it proves beyond all doubt that it has been Wesp... not us... who has been lying through his Kraut teeth for the past six years. He has stolen work from others (including from us), he has lied about a plethora of arbitrary changes that he has introduced to VTMB without any justification, he has been engaged in a perpetual circle-jerk with the entire PV community, and he more or less does anything and everything that they ask him to do. Just kiss Wesp's wrinkly balls and he'll give you whatever you want... no matter how dumbed-down, ridiculous, childish, inappropriate or overpowered it might be. And then, he imposes all of that unwarranted crappola upon EVERYONE who unwittingly downloads and installs his horrible "unofficial patch."

I love this topic. It makes me feel vindicated, after five years of accusing Wesp of all of the above... and being publicly lambasted for doing so. Many thanks, Schu.

Schu · June 12, 2011, 09:24:45 PM

Yeah, you're most likely right. I guess I'm just getting tired of Wesp's PMs over on Steam. Maybe I'll just stop checking that account all together and maybe he'll figure it out that, that is not the forum for the discussion.

For you UP supporters, maybe Wesp should check forums and his own notes more often. He brought up the cop cars for the second time in his PMs to me and I remember very clearly that he mentioned having to do something about the cop car he put in front of Bertrums home, so that people could get threw the gate. I dont remember if it was on the Steam or the PV forums, but when I find it again I will post the link in this post.

Tessera · June 12, 2011, 10:20:07 PM

Heh... has Wesp managed to offer any defense for his slew of lies about the supposed "repairs" that his UP features..?

I'm referring to all of the bogus "repairs" which turned out to actually be things that Wesp himself broke, in previous iterations of his rotten "patch."

Which... we now know... accounts for more than half of the "repairs" that Wesp keeps listing within his patch notes. :laugh:

And so far as the whole cop cars issue, it was completely idiotic and downright WRONG for Wesp to have added them in the first place. I have already said why, earlier in this thread. I could add a hundred cop cars to any map, if I wanted to. But they do not belong there, period. The presence of extra cops simply undermines and destroys the entire lore of the game. Not that Wesp ever gave a shit about lore and canon, mind you. I think that much has already been made clear by Wesp, on numerous occasions. "Fuck the lore... fuck the canon... let's just do whatever we wanna do and then force every single other UP user to accept all of this insane crappola."

Wesp should go to work for Electronic Arts. He'd be right at home there.... destroying masterpieces and undermining brilliantly creative people. He'd be a natural for that job. He should send them the UP as his resume.

Sorry for the very late response Tess, to answer your question, NO, but he has admitted (at least on the Steam forums) that he was the one who caused an issue, when a few people bitch about it. To date my favorite Wesp bug is when he changed the Python engine from 2.1 to 2.7 without editing the script to match, then placing the blame on Win 7 instead of himself.

Okay, to let everyone know why I popped back in to this thread. I am working on adding the UP's 7.6, 7.6a and 7.6b to the OP along with my usual banter and uncalled for comments

as well as some miner changes I missed before.

EDIT: I added the new info, I still got to do some editing though.

Tessera · July 30, 2011, 01:21:11 AM

So, Wesp has NOT admitted to it. Typical.

There are literally dozens and dozens of bogus "repairs" listed in Wesp's patch notes. Not just a few... but DOZENS AND DOZENS of them. All of them are references to things which were NOT broken in the original, plain-vanilla game -- but they are in fact things which Wesp himself broke, in previous versions of his horrible "patch." And yet, despite having it laid out for him right here in black and white, Wesp continues to dodge this issue and pretend that all of his supposed "fixes" are legitimate. Well I'm sorry Wesp but no, a large percentage of your "fixes" are not legitimate and therefore, neither is your inappropriately named "unofficial patch."

Jesus, what a bullshit artist he is. For the past five years, Wesp has accused me of "lying" about his work. Well I swear to you people that I have never done any such thing... and this thread right here proves it. We have finally dissected Wesp's patch notes... point for point... something which Wesp probably thought that we would never actually bother to do. Oh really..?

Well, thanks to Schu's excellent efforts, we have indeed gone ahead and done it, Wesp. And guess what..? Guess who the liar turned out to be, Wesp..? I'll give you a hint: this thread proves that it was NEVER me who was lying. It's all right here, in no uncertain terms. And keep in mind that I did not create this thread, nor did I ask anyone to create it. Schu went ahead and did this on his own, after he got tired of seeing all of the lies and obfuscations coming from Wesp and his viral goon squad. So who does that leave, Wesp..? Who is the self-serving asshole who has been shamelessly lying to Bloodlines players for the past six years (and counting)..? If you are still unsure who the real liar is Werner, then just take a look in the mirror. You've been bullshitting people about the contents of your idiotic "patch" ever since 2005, Wesp. You know it, I know it, and now... thanks to Schu... the entire world knows it, too. This thread is posted in the public section of our board, Wesp... which means that it has already been thoroughly indexed by Google and other search engines. In short, anyone can find it and read it... and they HAVE been. There have already been tens of thousands of Google hits on this topic. Obviously, the larger Bloodlines community cares a great deal about the truth.

Stick a fork in Wesp... he's done. :laugh:

Schu · July 30, 2011, 09:10:05 PM

AAAAHH, what happened to the old list, none of the links that lead to it work (it's all over the Steam forums right now), and it had all of the info for everything other than the UP.

Cylnar · July 30, 2011, 11:13:57 PM

Looks like Tess moved it to an invisible area of the board, since it was out of date. $:-\$

Edit: I've just moved it back, so hopefully folks can find it again.

FROM TESSERA: Ooops.... sorry. I was under the impression that the older thread had been superseded by this newer one. My bad.

Schu · July 30, 2011, 11:52:23 PM

Thanks Cylnar, I will put something together that will kind of merge the 2 so that everything will be there.

Damn Steam and their sales, the forums over there are fucking nuts right now, and poor, poor Wesp is finding out how fucked up his mod is by all of the complaints. The only complaint I have seen about the TPG is not being able to get into the tessmage site.

Tessera · July 31, 2011, 08:59:19 AM

Quote from: Schu on July 30, 2011, 11:52:23 PMWesp is finding out how fucked up his mod is by all of the complaints.

I am glad to see that so many people are finally starting to see the light. And to think -- it only took six years..!!! LOL. But hey... better late than never. Wesp has absolutely ruined this gem of a game and I am relieved to see that a growing number of Bloodlines players are finally waking up to that fact. I know that my own behavior has been less than diplomatic during the course of this "patch war," but the fact remains that I have always been telling everyone the truth about Wesp and his horrible "patch." It truly is an abortion... and everyone who wishes to play Bloodlines bug-free should avoid Wesp's unreliable kiddie krap and stick with the True Patch.

Aspiring VTMB modders should likewise build their mods on top of the True Patch and use that version of the game as their standard. In time, the larger VTMB community will thank you. Not only is the True Patch more streamlined and reliable, but unlike Wesp's work, it isn't being revised and re-issued every second Tuesday. So if you are looking for a stable and consistent platform upon which to build your mods, then the True Patch is your very best option. That's the bottom line.

And listen up, people: whether you like me or hate me makes no difference. The facts are still the facts, regardless of anyone's personal feelings. It has never been my goal to be everybody's little friend. I'll leave that kind of idiocy to insecure people-pleasers like Wesp. No, my primary concern has always been the integrity of Bloodlines, as well as what is in the best interests of the larger Bloodlines community. Period. End of story.

QuoteThe only complaint I have seen about the TPG is not being able to get into the tessmage site.

This is an adults-only web site. It is not open to kids. This shouldn't be an issue however, because in my considered opinion, Bloodlines is an adults-only game. So if you are old enough to play Bloodlines in the first place, then you should be old enough to join tessmage.com, too.

And also, there are quite a few IP's out there which have been abused in the past (by spammers, hackers and so forth), so many of of those IP's have been permanently blocked from accessing this board. I did not create that problem... I merely responded to it, by taking preemptive action.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause to a small handful of legitimate users... but it could not be helped. My suggestion would be to complain to your internet service provider, and demand that they do a better job of regulating the malicious activities coming from the users of their own network. It is their responsibility to fix this problem... not mine. My sole concern is to keep this board free from any nitwits, under-aged babies, spambots and troublemakers.

And now, let's get back to the topic of this thread. I'd just like to make a comment about one of the random items in Wesp's patch notes. I'll quote Schu first, and then add my own comment:

Quote from: Schu on June 02, 2011, 02:25:21 AM
"Made Tseng not offer blood as he doesn't even know about vampires. (MOD)"

Please tell us, how do you know this? Do you happen to be Brian Mitsoda or Tim Caine in disguise? Thats real smart....get rid of 1 out of 2 blood venders in the game. Oh I'm sorry you killed or pissed off Vandal now you cant buy any blood, to bad for you, if you use the UP.

This is indeed idiotic. Not to mention that Wesp is employing inconsistent logic. If Tseng doesn't know about vampires, then we may as well deduce that he doesn't know about the power of occult items, either. Why..? Because for him not to know about vampires would mean that he is oblivious as to the existence of supernatural entities in our world. Which incidentally has NOT been established about Tseng in ANY of the lore from this game. We have no idea what Tseng knows or doesn't know. But okay, if Tseng doesn't know anything about the supernatural, then that also includes magical occult items, does it not..? And yet Wesp did not take those away from Tseng's list of items for sale... he only removed the blood bags.

Now before anyone says "But there is a difference between blood bags and weird trinkets," let me remind you that to make assumptions about one... but not about the other... is both baseless and irrational. Wesp is going to have to do better than that... especially if he is once again going to take it upon himself to fuck up a major game mechanic in Bloodlines.

Blood bags are not a magical item... they are not supernatural... they are simply blood bags. There is no reason not to sell them, if there are people who want to buy them. Tseng could have any number of reasons for selling such things -- not the least of which is the fact that there is an enormous coven of Keui-Jin living RIGHT DOWN THE STREET from his shop. So maybe they buy blood bags sometimes. Or maybe they don't. Or maybe there's a Satanic cult around the corner who buys them. Or maybe there's a freaky crack whore living upstairs, who likes to roll around in human blood when she has sex. IT DOESN'T MATTER. The fact remains that Wesp has once again taken it upon himself to interfere with the lore of Bloodlines and make all sorts of poorly considered value judgments. In short, he is once again second-guessing Troika, as Schu has already pointed out.

Wesp's amateurishly conceived "patches" are filled from top to bottom with shit like this. But I just wanted to home in on this particular example, so as to illustrate an important point about Wesp's work in general.

Schu · July 31, 2011, 04:22:36 PM

Thanks for post about the ISP's, I'll pass that info on to the Steam boards.

As far as Tseng gos, you're right, we dont know enough of his history or his place in Bloodlines lore. To add to what you posted, Tseng could also be selling the blood to the Tong for medical purposes.

Tessera · July 31, 2011, 04:38:39 PM

Well the thing is, some of the blood that Tseng is selling is "blue blood," which does indeed have some supernatural properties (for vampires).

But that fact changes nothing. We don't know diddly-squat about Tseng. He could be somebody's ghoul, for all we know. Or he could be an occultist, in league with Mr. Ox across the street. The bottom line is that Tseng's character is largely undefined... so he could be anybody. Or anything.

Therefore, for Wesp or anyone else to make flat statements about who Tseng is and what he knows is absolutely baseless and unjustified. It is yet another example of Wesp dumping an arbitrary change into the game on a whim... and not for any good and rational reasons.

Tessera · August 06, 2011, 02:18:26 PM

Schu,

Have you looked into the allegation that in addition to all of the other things which you have mentioned, Wesp has also added files to his "patch" which do not do anything at all..?

I am referring to a bunch of files which, so far as I can tell, Wesp has added to his "patch" simply to "pad it out," meaning that he added them simply to make his patch look bigger and more comprehensive than it actually is.

Here... I'll give you a random example...

Within Wesp's "patch" are a ton of model files. This would of course lead one to think that Wesp and his pals have somehow managed to make all sorts of repairs to various Bloodlines models. Or more accurately, Wesp's contributors have supposedly performed a bunch of model repairs, not Wesp... because I know for a fact that Wesp himself does not possess the necessary skills to modify 3-D Source models and textures. Wesp is just a nuts-and-bolts guy. He lacks the knowledge to work on models and textures -- and he has admitted as much. So any such repairs that you find within Wesp's "patch" were most certainly performed by people other than Wesp.

But okay, back to my example...

Just for kicks, I opened up a few of the supposedly "repaired" model files from Wesp's "patch" in a nifty little utility called a binary hex comparator. What this utility does is to examine a pair of binary files and then display any and all differences between the two files. And since it is looking directly at the binary hex code itself, it is essentially fool-proof. If any differences exist... no matter how tiny... then the hex comparator will find them.

Well, guess what..? When I compared a few of the model files from Wesp's "patch" to the original, default versions... yup, you're already getting ahead of me... I found NO DIFFERENCES AT ALL. Nothing... not even the most tiny of differences exist between the original Troika files, and the identical files from Wesp's "patch."

In short: Wesp placed those files into his "patch" simply to make it look bigger and more impressive. But in reality, the files that Wesp added to his "patch" are 100 PERCENT IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL FILES IN EVERY SINGLE RESPECT.

Conclusion: those files were not "repaired." They are in fact exactly the same as the original versions... right down to the last byte of data.

Well then, why did Wesp add them to his "patch" in the first place..? Why would anyone add unaltered files from the original game into a supposed "patch..?" To deceive people..?

So anyway, I was just wondering if you had taken a look to see if there are any other examples of this "patch padding" by Wesp.

Just so people don't think that I am making this up, let me show you a screenshot of an actual pair of files loaded into my hex comparator program. The first file is the original file from the game. The second file underneath it is the exact same MDL (model) file, but taken from Wesp's "patch." According to Wesp, the file from his "patch" has been "repaired" in some miraculous way. But let's see what happens when we ask the hex comparator to examine both files and display any differences between their actual code:

Here are the screenshots, showing the two files loaded up one above the other, and me asking the comparator to search for any and all differences between them:

NOTE: I had to shrink those images down in order to fit them onto this page. Click on each image if you would like to see the full-sized version.

The file on the top is the original, unaltered file from Bloodlines. In this case, it is a female biped model used during the opening courtroom scenes from the intro of VTMB.

The file on the bottom is the model file of the same name, taken from Wesp's "unofficial patch."

Hmm... no differences of any kind whatsoever. How peculiar. So then, I asked the hex comparator to print out a complete list of all differences which occur anywhere within the two files being examined. And this is what it had to report:

Different between:
First file: "E:\VTMB_TPG_Test_Copy_NO_MODS\Vampire\models\cinematic\santa_monica\courtroom\courtroom_bip1_female.mdl"
Second file: "J:\Temp\Wesp Patch\Vampire\models\cinematic\santa_monica\courtroom\courtroom_bip1_female.mdl"
Shift: 0

That big red "0" tells it all: there are zero differences between the files in Wesp's patch, and the original files from Bloodlines. None... no changes of any kind whatsoever. The two model files are indeed 100% identical in every conceivable way. Not only have they not been "repaired," but they have not been altered in any ways whatsoever... period.

The plot thickens, eh..?
