Forum Running Again - Registration Enabled

January 26th, 2010

After 2 years of blatantly being invaded by bots like a b-rated sci-fi movie, I finally made the time to address the cause of my spam-bot issues. I wanted to wait a few days or so just to be sure, but I think the forum is out of the woods. I have installed the newest patches, a more secure theme interface, and an anti-spam mod that references to a constantly updating database. For awhile, nothing seemed to be working. I found out that the reasons none of my security updates were working was because my AA Damage theme was outdated. This made me sad, but I had to nuke the ol' AA Damage theme along with all the other dated themes that were not compatible with the 1.1.11 SMF update.

When I opened the doors once again, I wasn't expecting any more than 1 new member a month or so. Didn't realize how many real people wanted to get into my forum and ask for development tips. Well, they came to the right place. The forum contains a wide selection of tutorials for Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption and will start including tutorials for Crysis - Sandbox 2. Now is a good time to get into development and e-mods.net's forum is a good place to figure out where to start.

New Tech Support Venue

August 31st, 2009

Since the forum's registration feature has been disabled for some time due to overwhelming amounts of bot attacks, I have decided to implement a possible alternative. The chat program below now appears on several key pages on E-Mods.net to help give voice to people having issues with mods, skins, and maps provided by the web site. In addition to the chat program, end-users may contact me through MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Hamachi (Recommended), and eventually ICQ once I get past ICQ's server failures. For those new to the game, Hamachi is our primary portal to multiplayer gaming of Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption since WON is gone. There are two channels I maintain regularly: AoRMod (password=aor) and WodalMod (password=wodal). Use Hamachi to connect to these channels. Hamachi has a built in chat so if you have further questions about multiplayer, it would be best to ask them to hamachi users.

The GigaPack Has Been Launched

June 28th, 2009

The GigaPack is now ready for download in the Models section. This pack is filled with tons of conversions from several popular games like Bloodlines, Crysis, GoW, EnterTheMatrix, Sims2, GTA, NwN2, TheWitcher and more. The GigaPack has tons of useful NPCs that add variety to a storyteller's chronicle. From rebelious teenagers to horrid monsters, you're sure to find something you need for your chronicle in this pack. Because this pack includes most of the models from Bloodlines with several additional fixes, the Bloodlines pack is no longer needed so it has been removed from the models section.

Javokis YouTube Channel Now Available

I have created a YouTube channel showing off any new works I am creating. You can check out the YouTube channel here. The channel is still under construction so please bare with me.

E-Mod 1.9 Update

May 24th, 2009

I'm still attending school to advance my computer programming to a bachelors or masters degree. My finals should be mid next month so I haven't been doing much with 1.9 during the past couple of weeks. I decided I'll be staying in college till I transfer to a university. I'll be working on Emod 1.9 mid next month after finals is done though I'll be working during the summer. I should have time to finish Emod 1.9 during the summer.

I have found a couple of dead links to Spirit Touch in the Tutorials Section. Those links have been fixed to finally go to Vampire Writer's new website, Savage Artistry. I'm sure those links have been broken for awhile now. Anyone who finds any other dead links feel free to report them in the forum or email me.

Age of Redemption 2009 Edition Launched

April 18th, 2009

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.

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 website'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.

Wodal Mod 0.4a Launched

March 29th, 2009

The mod is done. Wodal 0.4a launches with full single player support. You may check out the mod in the Mods section. You can also find out more about the mod in the forum here.

Wodal Mod Back In Development

December 27th, 2008

I have begun work on the next Wodal Mod version 0.4a. Plans on 0.4a's features are subject to change, but updates are posted to the forum. So far the features I'll be working on for next release will be the following:
  • Modify single player to support a more Wodal friendly feel.
  • Add new commands to Wodal to allow scripting of conversations.
  • Finish Wodal coded disciplines for Brujah, Cappadocian, Gangrel, and Toreador clans.
  • Add E-Mod 1.8 actions to Wodal.
Most of Wodal's code works fine so I wont be doing anything major to the environment. The main goal of this next release is to concentrate on content.

Big Update & New Maps

July, 19th 2008

I have finally finished both the Media and the Source sections of the website so go ahead and take a look. In addition, new maps have been added to the Maps section. I have added several maps from Demortia and created two new maps of my own. I have created New York by Day and London by Day maps since I felt we needed more environments for humans and hunters. Both maps have sunlight damage implimented so vampires will have a challenge walking around these day maps. I also added a classic map I that was overlooked during the development of MoTA called, The Akashic Records based on the movie "Where Dreams May Come".

I'm running on a whim here so I'm pretty much doing whatever from making videos of my mods, maps, and general playing around to mapping, modding, or fiddling around on what ever I feel up to doing in my free time. The good news is, I figured out how to fix my hamachi issues on Vista so now I can host and play games of Redemption. So if anyone wants to hit me up for a game, I'll be on hamachi as I fiddle around.

For those of you who have been having trouble with running hamachi to connect to Redemption LAN games, check out this link: It was a life-saver for me. All I had to do was follow the Basic Guide portion of the page to fix the problem so I didn't need to do any of the more complex or advance stuff with my router. I'm able to use the newest version of hamachi 1.0.2.5 after following the Wiki guide.

I also found a great ftp client that blows smartFTP away. It's called FileZilla and it's open source. I'm tired of smartFTP's constant nagging and instead of going all pirate on their asses I figure I would look for an alternative instead (something legal). Man I'm noticing there is open source options for pretty much everything nowadays. Great times, great times!
