About__the__mod

in the mountains biome Moder will have an 80% chance to drop the 1st tier Dark Gift which gives you the initiation into "The Blood" decreasing your stamina cost for most things and enhancing your normal abilities slightly- mainly your healing factor-you will now be locked to eating only "blood foods" and the sun will hurt you - you unlock the blood hunger meter which will help you keep track of your thirst for blood. then from there Yagluth will drop the 2nd tier Dark Gift and the Queen will drop the 3rd. a custom boss altar in the deep north is where you will have to tribute the Dark Gift III that you've collected the bosses have a 80% chance to drop 1-4 of the items)- to challenge and unseal the slumbering Vladislaus Dragulia. in a scenario where you win the fight he will 80% drop the 4th tier Dark gift and Divine Cleansing Elixir witch will allow you to have a similar transformation to a Vampire Lord that he fought you in - or - to return your Dark Gift, respectively. (50% chance to drop vampire dragon egg)

ill have to make more armors & weapons for vamps and then specialized armor and weapons for the vampire hunter/ night slayer class- with at least 1 wagon for each class eventually. ill try to make male and female armors and clothing options. wagons will be in my awesome wagons mod 😄

i'm a long ways away from being a proficient modder but i got some super smart friends willing to help me implement these ideas overtime when they have time XD

Thank yall for understanding and for having fun with the mods!

-Female Vampire Slayer Armor

-vampire materials now work with male and female player models better!

-permanent vampire transformations from the elixirs (you can't easily return this gift)

-in game clock added (can configure its location or turn it off/on)

-sunrise and sunset warning mesage (also configurable) 5 minutes before sunrise and set

-sun dmg (you can config the daylight start and stop times) if you are within your configured daylight times and you step out from shelter status you will begin to burn - more dmg over time - this can kill you

-if it's daylight and you die and dont respawn in shelter you have a 2 minute grace period to find shelter- in game message will(should) appear

-configurable weather list in which sun dmg does not apply like thunderstorms, fog, snowstorms etc.

-sun screen potion - blocks sun for 5 minutes (configurable item list and sun block duration)

-berserk armor now blocks sun dmg if full set is equipped

-configurable option to take sun damage or not and how much dmg/per tic vamps take PER ELIXIR TIER! (also you can turn the sun dmg vsfx on and off)

-blood food items (configurable) (humans cannot eat "blood" consumables) custom items so far- Fresh blood and blood eitr

-if youre a vamp you cannot eat mortal food (itll make you puke and empty your stomach)

-there is a whitelist config as well for things the vamp can consume like potions etc ( i added all potions/meads already - and bloodpudding cause duhh)

-blood hunger meter (configurable location on the hud) - sated, hungry, starving - once you are starving you begin to take dmg (cant pass 1hp - hunger wont kill you) the higher your vamp level the slower your hunger meter decreases - consuming a blood food will reset your meter - can only consume a blood food when your blood hunger meter is 90% or less

-config for adding custom prefabs to be considered "a cure item"

-deep north dracula boss altar added (deffeat him to get the dark gift IV and the divine cleansing Elixir-restores your mortal soul) at least 1 location spawns in DN - will need to generate new world or use upgrade world mod to add the location to exisiting world - or just spawn it in somewhere XD

-lv 4 vamps can press "V" (configurable key) to transform back into human form (but still a vampire with all buffs and debuffs) to blend in with mortals (2 minute cooldown)

-vamps can use hot key "C" to command all bat familiars (and owned vampire dragons) to follow or stay with a cool roar sfx (WHEN YOUR VAMPIRIC POWERS SPAWN A BAT FAMILIAR (or when vampire dragon egg hatches)IT WILL TAKE ON THE VAMPIRE'S NAME THAT SPAWNED IT AND CAN ONLY BE COMMANDED BY THAT PLAYER - (this should fix any potential multiplayer issues, configurable radius check and hotkey designation) can toggle bat call on and off

-Dracula boss also has a 50% chance to drop a vampire dragon egg which will hatch, with warmth, in 16 in-game days, into a full grown mountable Vampire Dragon with custom attacks and flight (you have to build the saddle at blackforge)
