problem with histories using 2.3 patch

[Ayesha]

Been playing with just the official patch, and decided to use 2.3. Readme said installing it over the 1.2 was OK, but it's messed up the histories really bad. The Mortician background is under Gangrel, and Highway Drifter under Tremere, and the Eco-Hacker one isn't there at all. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please. I read there's a text file for the histories, but I don't know where that is.

I think it's in a cfg directory somewhere, but I haven't had VtmB installed in a while. To fix this you can probably either delete it (incase the game uses this file as an override file to an 'internal' config file too - many of the assets in this game work that way), or you can look up the original file on your disk. That last thing can only be done if it can be found outside of an installation cabinet file, or something to that effect.

If none of the above work and you don't feel like reinstalling, you should try asking for a copy of someone's history file. That would be a sure fire solution.

I changed the histories for the unofficial patch because some didn't work, others did make no sense and I thought all clans should get the same number. The original file can be restored by extracting histories000.txt from pack101.vpk using the VPKTool.

OK, thanks. Just to make sure I've got this right, is Mortician background under Gangrel, Highway Drifter under Tremere, and no Eco-Terrorist Hacker for Gangrel what you meant to happen? No big deal really, I just want to be sure nothing's gone wrong.
