What is Vampire?
With this plugin anyone can become a vampire, but do you want to? During daytime vampires cower from sunlight. During the night the humans reach for their holy water and wooden stakes as the vampires roam the lands with inhuman strength, speed and levitation-powers. Driven by their endless bloodlust, they devour all living in their way. Vampires...
- are destroyed by sunlight.
- are extremely vulnerable to wood and holy water.
- spreads the dark disease through combat and their own blood.
- kill and drink blood instead of eating food.
- regenerate health quickly at the expense of food-level.
- won’t be attacked by monsters unless the vampire attacks first.
- take no fall- or suffocation-damage.
- have stationary food level unless in bloodlust mode.
- move faster, jump higher and damage more with bloodlust.

Did you install SpoutPlugin?
I put the vampire.jar and the mcore4.jar in my plugins folder and restarted my server and it will not create a vampire folder or let me use the /v commands. :( I have Java 7. wat do?
@AutumnFyre
Wrong. Spout has a high memory and space requirement in contrast to other plugins, meaning it's a heavy investment. The only plugin I use that even requires it, is Vampire, and it's a needless requirement.
Spout has caused some server owners chunk issues in the past (They were forced to fix it in several updates) including me, and doesn't always work as intended for all users. For instance, both AntiCheat and NoCheatPlus don't work well with spout, giving users lots "appeared" lag unless you adjust he allowed jump height for the cheat plugins themselves, or even disable the check entirely. It also hinders obfuscation, and reduces a server's threads per second down enough to be mentioned.
Vampire worked very will without Spout in the past, and now it's a hard requirement, not a soft one. Half of the plugin won't work without spout, even if you manipulate it to not depend on it.
All for a seldom used flying ability that could be coded differently to not use it? Lame in my opinion.
As for your example, I don't see it appropriate for this context at all.
Hurry up and approve bukkit :p
Thanks for the amazing mod :)
Yay thanks so much! :D
MCore and Vampire is now updated to Minecraft 1.3.1 Awaiting file approval :)
@badwolf4

So, that will encourage your users to use spout if they want the cool effects. Instead of looking at it as "Look at the cool things they've been able to add with spout!", you complain that you need spout to use it.
It's like wanting to write something down but not wanting to use a pen or a pencil, and then complaining because the person who wants you to write wants you to use a pen or a pencil. You NEED the pen or the pencil to write that something down. Sure, you might be able to write it in the mud with a stick, but you'd have nowhere near the precision or control. It wouldn't be pretty and it wouldn't be portable and it wouldn't do the things you'd like it to do.
The point is, spout doesn't "ruin" anything. Spout doesn't even make things inconvenient. Spout is an option if you want cool effects, because it's the only way to make those cool effects work the way that they do. The makers of this plugin chose to use spout because of it's ability to create this new experience that you enjoy. If your users are uncomfortable because of their own choices, it's still their choice to refuse to use spout, or our metaphorical pen or pencil. It's their own choice to make themselves uncomfortable.
when do you update to 1.3.1
Do you plan to update sometime soon since Spout 1.3 has a dev build or going to wait until a RB?
Does this function with 1.3 and the most recent version of spout?
@AutumnFyre
The problem is that you need the Spoutcraft launcher, if you want to run faster and jump higher as a vampire. If players doesn't have the launcher installed, all the abilities they get are the negative ones -.-
And I don't want all my players to install the Spoutcraft launcher, because that would mess everything up.
@AutumnFyre
It pushes them to get it though. The bloodlust power of a Vampire doesn't function well without spout. If you are a vampire, and try to use bloodlust, it will encourage them to get it. Players who are vampires and have spout have an advantage over players who do not. Hence why Spout is making this uncomfortable.
Werewolf doesnt use Spout so why does this?
Great plugin! I was just wondering if you could add in a skin that I made for the vampires. Either that or like make vampire's skin tone lighter :)

Can someone please explain to me how requiring spout ruins this plugin? It doesn't force your players to use spout. It doesn't crash their client if they launch with minecraft's normal launcher. It simply requires that your players use spout to receive the spout-activated content of this plugin. I understand that some people dislike the creators of spout for various reasons, but in all reality, the plugin itself poses few problems, and creates a great deal more options for server owners and plugin developers.
There are several other vampire plugins that do not require spout for their content. What makes this one what it is, on it's level above the rest requires spout. I don't know if any amount of complaining, except perhaps to those at mojang who can alter the way minecraft accepts plugins to allow user-created content, will do anything.
On the topic of the plugin itself: it's head and shoulders above the rest. The effects and attention to detail in vampire myths are astounding. Thanks so much, massivecraft!
Without Spout you would lose some of the cool effects and bloodlust I think though.
Yeah, I agree with Solid too. It ruins everything that it needs Spout, because my players don't want Spoutcraft :/
