@BladeLuoxi, since it's only a texture mod, I havn't had to change anything since they don't change the names of the texture packs.

Evening, author. Did you update this mod for the latest game patch in August? Thank you.

does this ONLY work for Von Carstein faction?

Using Just Vlad, Isabella and Seductive Vampires works with SFO. Must be one of the other components.

I'm having trouble getting this to work with Steel Faith. I've not got any other graphical mods on. The nearest things I have are Strict Generals and Better Battle Banners. I wonder if it's the extra units in SFO?

Nothing too complicated, as I intentionally made my mods overwrite everything cosmetic (the @before the name means it loads after the other mods, and cosmetic mods usually don't use the @ part). However, your spec map made the hair brighter, resulting in a gray look so it needed editing.

I'll fix the unit cards too at some point, but right now, I can't go screenshotting for good unit cards :P

@marthenil ah sounds cool! :) I'll have to check it out I suppose! :)

Hey Ramyam, I made a patch for the two mods, just letting you know since I used parts of your textures. I added your mod as a requirement too.

@Phaeron Vorutekh the Deathless,

Unfortunatly I cant make them compatible, but I could potentially make them incorporated if I asked for premission. but I'm probly not gonna do that just beeing honest as I'm mostly making mods I feel passionate about myself - sry.

and I like that Vlad looks the way he does, I have both the old and new vlad models and I think there are reasons for him looking like he does, He's alot more angry now after the first time he died and probly less willing to be as compassionate to humans if you could call it that earlier, he's like more out for revenge and all of that and not as willing to put magic engery to make himself look "buityful" anymore. ah well you can always ask the other mods if they'd want to include this to their mods GL if so! :) and I allow people to use my mod anyway they want not like I lose anything from it :P

Hello Ramyam, great mod really like the changes. Just a curious thought, would it be possible to make this compatible/incorporate Vlad von Carstein face restored and the black hair add-on made by Marthenil? I just believe that Vlad looks better with a more human look, as he did spend centuries amongst human courts and infiltrating human places so looking like a corpse as he does in vanilla with the no nose and missing flesh would be a bit hard. Thanks for your time and continue the great work. :)

Always happy for the support, Ramyam. Go right ahead and add the links etc. You may be right about people not using it for them reasons. I really like them the way they are and kind-of, I know, selfishly wish to keep them that way, lol. :)

Well, what I have also done, is use it on my test debug version, which usally looks and feels much different to what I release as I improve things. I added it to that

@Lucifer Lightbringer, well you'r free to do so, I wont stop you but same time I'm probly gonna keep updating this mod as I make more mods, I'm kinda a fan of standalone mods more then big overhaul mods. I'd perfer your mod as a standalone tbh hehe ^^ you never know some people might not use your mod if you include to much other stuff in it. I was considering adding your mod though to my recommended list in the text of this mod :)

I myself prefer to keep gameplay mods / unit mods / graphic mods as seperate as possible ^^

Hi Ramyam,
Would you be ok if I included your Von Carsteins and Seductive Vampires as standard into my The Midnight Aristocracy modification? I feel they go very well together in theme and appearance. Naturally you will be accredited for it and mentioned on the mods page, with your steam workshop link.

@omegaphoenix068, I'v not done any faction color changes in this mod. but the reskin of the black knights will affect hexwraiths as they use the same horse texture as black knights before the adding the ghost affect ontop of it.

I didnt think much of it since it didnt change their appearence much at all, even hard to notice semi also it's not more noticble from 1 or the other, its depending on the side the sun light comes from.

but if you dont want that you'r free to mix and match with my stand alone mods, just exclude the black armoured Grave Guard / knights unit mod :)

I noticed that while using your mod Hexwraiths would seem to be affected by the "faction color" changes and you will see as if they had the red barding from Black Knight units on them. More noticeable from their left side.

@wm1693, best idea I have is to turn off all mods you have, activate only this and see if it works, if it works, activate half of the mods then aswell, if it still works with these active, instead try the other half. and when finding the half that it doesnt work with, half that bunch in 2 aswell and contiue doing so untill you find the single mod that affects this mod somehow, it shouldnt take too long with that method.

Not sure why, but even turning off other VC-impacting mods, I can't seem to get the new vampire heros to use the red-eye, lower-makeup version you have here. Tried both this and the standalone version. Probably user error, any ideas?

@Edgey, sounds like some kind of mix of mods causing it, not sure exactly what though.

ey great mods! Now I really like my vampires!

Had a bit of a weird glitch not sure of mod or just my game but since i started using this mod, sometimes one of my hero units become invisible, mostly its the vampire heroes

looks exremly dope, love it:)))))))

@Ramyam, can you tell me how i can edit your mod to a) removed your changes to isabella or b) put the mod i linked on it instead?

I like the other model more, but eh, not gonna die because of. Btw, do you plan on making the the Bloodknights reskin version too?

well they are pretty different from eachother. both in colors, and in the model used. but if anything I do like the strong eye shadow I suppose on the other, and I do like the normal vampire model hair alot, specially in black, I was first going to make my isabella black haired but in the end didnt but made it more shineing white instead then vanilla.

Why you make me choose between your mod and the pretty isabella one?

@Edgey, I use some of Ali-TPs mods myself aswell hehe :P but yeah I dunno, doesnt feel like it neccery. ah well :)

Hey Ramyam do you think you can work with Ali-TP to make the ultimate visual overhaul for the vampires? would be preety cool

YAY! Thanks!

@Rafal, I updated the mod now to include all the Graphical "Von Carstein" related mods I released up so far.

if anyones wondering I'v posted links to all the parts of the mods by them selves aswell if someone dont want it all in one mod.

No worries. And thanks. I am at 72 mods active :p

@RafaL, The Restored Vlad Face should work together with retexture mods :) so they are compatible so you can use both! I will try to find time tomorrow to include it all into this mod, I know you, specially been waiting for me to bunch my mods together sry for the wait, but my real work takes priority :)

Here vlad face restored:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=883206722

Waiting for you to includ in your mod the other mods (also, any chance of we getting a version with restored vlad face (like a few other mods that exist now) so he also look human-ish like isabella?

@Kelord Artego, aye I'v been thinking of adding more, also I'm probly gonna add some of my other mods to this one soon ( Seductive Vampires and Black Armoured Grave Guards ) and perhaps in the future mannfred and what ever else I decide to update to match :). all mods will still be avaible as standalones for those interested.

Thanks for magnificent mod, but i think von Carstein family is not only Vlad and Isabella:
2) how about to add red/steel Mannfred reskin to this duet? - no good mods at all
3) how about to add red/stell High Vampire Lords? - there is only "Vampiric Deathly Pallor + Vampiric Variations" mod, but it changes only head texture.

@RafaL, yes I am working on it it's just on the shelf for a little while since less fun things, LIKE WORK... :/ has piled up a little bit. but I'll get to both as soon as I'm free to do so ^^

Also, you said somewhere you would make your own version of the Bloodknight horses/units reskin right?

Yay!

and anyone who just want specific parts of the Graphical Mod collection of mine can still after that use each induvidual mod. since they are also published as stand alones already.

I will probly add my seductive vampires and Black Armoured Grave Guards to this "The von Carsteins" mod soonish, but I'v had to much to do with programming of late, and a friends birthday party was yesterday so yeah. but I'll get to that soonish.

Still waitng for the pack with all your reskins

@Ramyam:Hey good to hear Ramyam, much better for certain, I've a question actually. How did you manage to export Issabella's head textures?, the standard exporter from PFM doesn't work and opening externally directly with a dds editing program(such as photoshop) has nothing open.
what are your secrets!

Very good mod, man. Im glad to see the vampires getting some love. The touch to Isabella was really good. Creative.

@Skarsnik, i dont know if i explained myself well, what i want is a single mod that change more than one thing. for exemple, i want a single mod that has all the changes made from Ramyam. Got it now?

I dont think it is possible Rafal. textures are usually splitted in four parts. The diffuse is the basic texture painting, the specular is what it looks when reflecting (paint where there's metal alike materials) the normal delimitates textures borders 3D and so, it improves the deepness of the model out of the 3d model for its own ofc and the glowing effect will determinates where it glows or is pure plain color. Even if one could change the 3d models through Hexadecimal editing or prpoer 3D modelling to be 1 texture file only dependant, it will loose a lot of important info. :/

@Ramyam, can we get a tutorial on how to mix multiple reskin/textures mods into a single file? (if you know how to do that of course)

@Baihu, yeah that would be awsome, I'v played the table top since 4th edition and I love those type of gimmicky rules from the TT so to say ^^ but I'm probly not gonna make either of those mods as of right now perhaps later, got to much on my plate right now unfortunatly

About the Undying Love trait, I was actually thinking maybe adding an extra function to it where they go berserk if either of them dies in the same battle, like their tabletop versions. Berserk being like increased Melee Attack, or Mana Regen or something. It'll not trigger that often, but it might help to turn the tide of battle (because if its a fight where either one of them has died obviously something is going horribly wrong).

I know you don't really want to add it onto here, but just thought it'd be cool to have that bit from the tabletop in the game (and I have no idea how to mod Warhammer myself).

@Khaine, yeah I do that too ^^ but not everyone who wants to use the mods knows how to remove parts of it. so to be a bit "comsumer" friendly is why I'm hesitent so to say ;P haha
but I'll see what I do later, alot of ideas to mods I wanna make and to little time, busy programming and so...
