[Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines] Патч от Wesp5
Долгое время новости о выходе новой версии неофициального патча от Wesp5 появлялись (и обсуждались) в основной теме игры. Это неправильно.
Патчи от Wesp5 — не единственные в своём роде, и некоторые не любят их за то, что их создатель давно уже отошёл от правки ошибок в оригинальной игре и принялся восстанавливать вырезанные материалы и прочее, что в полную версию игры не попало, тем самым, по их мнению, ломая игру.
Итак, на днях вышла версия 9.3, в которой заявлены следующие изменения:

В общем, попробовал я сегодня посмотреть, что там наваяли за десяток версий, а заодно пройти игру на нескольких мониторах, и столкнулся с, в некотором роде, забавным багом: время от времени при загрузке сохранения умирает один из персонажей поблизости от ГГ (в том числе и из безымянной массовки). Прелесть ситуации заключается в том, что и квестовые персонажи дохнут тоже.
Что-то они поломали, так что сохраняться либо вдали ото всех, либо только в боевых областях. Железный человек по-вампирски.

Что значит возможность пройти охотником на вампиров?
Объясняю. Там прикрутили своего рода "мини-кампанию" за охотника, этакий линейный туториал-боевичок с реюзом игровых карт (не всех). Вообще, честно, хернёй страдают. Пусть уже вторую кампанию за вампиров делают и озвучивают, благо все инструменты для этого есть у моддеров.
Вон в самой последней версии Clan Quest Mod (4.1 если помню правильно) сделали целую главу с внедрением в Шабаш, в восточном Лос Анджелесе. И весьма недурно.
Пусть уже вторую кампанию за вампиров делают и озвучивают
Да, вот этого я никогда не понимал. Поправили объективные косяки, дело хорошее. Кейн объяснял в интервью, почему разрабы не всегда могут это сделать - иногда им по контракту запрещено. Иногда, конечно, им лень. А ещё иногда они умерли. Восстановление вырезанного контента - раз через раз. Иногда его вырезали из-за внезапного дедлайна, а иногда вырезали, потому что фигня получилась. Не всегда угадаешь, что ценное. Но вот эти доделки новых карт, перенос игры на другой движок, перенос на третий движок, прочая мышиная возня. Ребята, у вас есть команда людей, умеющих делать игры. Вы можете сделать свою, не хуже. Хотя бы и в формате мода (успешные примеры есть), а можете и совсем свою, с нуля. Конечно, "не говори мне, что мне делать, и я не скажу, куда тебе идти", но я не понимаю. Совсем не понимаю.

не могут. потому и переносят туда-сюда и пилят всякую фихню. одно дело работа с готовыми ассетами и апскейл текстур через нейросетку, убрать закомментированные разработчиками блоки при их наличии, а затем конвертирование готовых ресурсов на другой движок, и желательно родственный текущему, и совершенно другое - сделать новую игру. По аналогии переставить в автомобиле двери (при наличии автомобиля и дверей) куда проще чем с нуля спроектировать и создать весь автомобиль, и навыки тут нужны совсем другие и на другом уровне.
Уметь переделывать чужое и уметь делать своё не одно и то же. Впрочем, моддеров нередко прибирают к рукам крупные игровые компании, что зачастую и есть цель всего. Тот же Оскуро наваял масштабнейший мод по улучшению Обливиона, и его взяли работать в Обсидиан (как раз вчера читал об этой, обновляя баттхёрт Авеллона).

Да, такое постоянно сплошь и рядом. По сути это работа над портфолио. У меня знакомый сделал косметический мод для картофельных танков, его наняли для работы над картами и модельками на постоянной основе.
