Fallout 2 mod Fallout Sonora 1.15 and Sonora Dayglow 1.15 Vanilla Translation

[th44]

Sonora is standalone, you don't need to install F1 or F2.
For sfall, you can check my sfall support pack for Sonora.

Holy cow, You’re right.

I’ve installed everything besides Fallout 1 GOG and now everything works fine.

„Fallout_Sonora_1_15” + „Fallout_Sonora_DLC_1_15” + „fallout2-ce-windows-x64” (1.3) + „sonora_eng_DLC_script” + changes in „fallout2.cfg” („russian” -> „english”).

Now everything works fine when I start the game using “fallout2-ce.exe”.

Thx 4 help mate.

Nice! I highly recommend using the latest version of CE (here: https://github.com/fallout2-ce/fallout2-ce/releases/tag/continious) instead of 1.3 though.

I have one more question before starting the game, and I’d be grateful for an answer (preferably without spoilers).

When planning a character, a very important aspect is whether there are bonuses to stats.

Are there bonuses like in F1 and F2, where you can get +1 to each stat, or not?

Grok, when asked about this, says that:

• there is a permanent bonus to Luck from an unmarked quest,
• other stats: you can obtain a coupon for +1 to any SPECIAL stat in a special encounter and in Dayglow (e.g., winning at arcade games). Implants can also boost stats, but usually, you can only get one. There’s no confirmation that every stat has a guaranteed way to get +1, but Intelligence, Luck, and a few others have confirmed bonuses.

So how is it? Which stats can be increased by +1 during the game?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Your Gork ain't wrong on this actually..

+1 Luck Bonus.. confirmed it's obtainable
one +1 to one Special stat of choice (except Luck) from a special encounter ( didn't work 4 me actually)
one +1 to one Special stat of choice ( agin except luck) from a DLC's minigame. ( agin didnt work 4 me)

also there are items boosting stats such as CHA shade glasses , and if using Foxx's version you can aquire +1PE glasses and a trinket slot to keep 1 trinket item in them i.e. either CHA glasses or PE glasses, though in no foxx's version PE glasses serve different purpose, and don't work for the player's dude

Finally if you decide to join the technologically superior faction, and deciding to join them, by picking the correct rank one can get eye-gizmo that seposedly increses intelligence and perception, but due to a bug it decreases PE by one and increses science skill by 10% instead of raising INT or so i remembered..

I don't think there are other bonuses than that beyond perk picking..

When starting a new game, I've been getting this bug.

I can't scroll in any direction but I can still walk into the black area and interact with objects in it. I just can't see it.

Dr. Sep, what version of the game, engine, OS, &c. are you using?

What is „Foxx's version”? Additional slot for trinket and CHA/PE bonus looks quite yummy.

Could you give F2:CE a shot? https://github.com/fallout2-ce/fallout2-ce/releases/tag/continious

the above is because You've used default F2-res.dat with Fo:Sonora.. those two are incompatible.. hi res map edge files a.k.a .edg files are incompatible to be precise, as Sonora natively use Fo2 map names to be fully compatible with the game's engine even without sfall..

yet usng same names for maps as in Fo2 cause problems with edge files.. in this particualr case Sonroa starting map gets the .edg file of arroyo temple entrance, which cuts off the Villa starting map from all four sides.. try downloading Foxx's version to get proper map edges, or use Fallout2_CE

EDIT:
@Dr. Sep don't install Fo:Sonrora over Fo2 installation.. Fo:Sonora hasn't been fully made into a Fallout 2 mod yet, it's more of a standalone game as for now.. yeah i know it's sort of shady in western world terms, however in Russia where Fo:Sonora came to existence the intelectual property rights are rather.. different..

just look at the guy that invented tetris game.. he was a Russian, if it wasn't for Russia don't giving a fuck about intellectual proerty rights he would have died a multimillonare, yet he died poor..

What is „Foxx's version”? Additional slot for trinket and CHA/PE bonus looks quite yummy.

Foxx's version is an alternative Fo;Sonora release bundled together with some Quality of Life options tailored to use from the get go such as sfall ( He used alternative sfall branch made by long left NMA member Mr.Stalin) Inventory filter mod, and lately he added trinket slot mod ( a russian made additional slot mod), the Foxx's version only the Bookseller mod.. that adds a skillbook vendor to one of the towns.. etc stuff..

Foxx has based his version download on rutracker.org a russian torrent site.. though the file itself is available rather by magnet link than a torrent, hence why not everyone finds it..

That is why, thank you.

Mother of God, are you playing on a large monitor / television or what? That’s so big it needs its own zip code.

Edit:

I recommend you ascertain that the Sfall item highlight hotkey is enabled in the configuration file, if I recall correctly players can highlight objects on the ground by holding the "LShift" while playing the game. It'll be quite handy, especially if you're not using the party control add-on, friend.
