Vampire Revolution - Part 1
Author: Forli
Version v1.13

Do you think oblivion deserves better vampires?
Here's a vampire overhaul

Question:
How many times a vampire infected you with Porphyric Hemophilia and think "NO! I don't want to be a vampire! Vampirism is boring in Oblivion! OK, I need a Cure disease immediately"?

Response:
This happens many times.

Now this is going to change...

Compatibility
This mod is absolutely incompatible with any other major vampire overhaul.
It can conflict with some minor vampire mods (just ask me, if you have a doubt)
It should work fine with other mods, but exceptions always exists.
Please, report any incompatibility you find.





Know issues and stability
This mod has been tested in all it's features.
I tried to optimize every script and avoid all situation that could cause CTD, and I can say it doesn't impact performance at all (on my mid-low laptop: Win8 x64, Intel i3 2.2GHz, NVidia GT-635M, Ram 8Gb) and it's very stable (never had a CTD in my tests).
I smashed tons of bugs and I cannot find any more, but of course, this doesn't mean it's completely bug-free.
Please, report any bug you find.

Sometimes, when feed or using other powers, the animations won't play correctly on the NPCs, because they don't stop moving or fighting. Won't cause any problem, except for odd situation like feeding on somebody who seems he doesn't care about the bite! The same could happen if the vampire is an NPC (this time the vampire will feed without even touching the victim...)

When implementing the teleport feature I had a big problem: sometimes the code doesn't correctly detect the position of an obstacle and my PC ends behind/above/below it.
This lead me to odd situations like enter in walls, houses or rocks resulting in being stuck inside. (In a very lucky try I successfully entered the ground and start falling down endlessly!)
Because of that, I've changed the code and implemented a check to avoid these situations and I never had this problem again since then, but Oblivion engine is very unpredictable and I can't be sure the problem is gone forever.
Should the problem ever happen, let me know.
