As Drobovik said, you will run into problems with fallout2 under program files. My advice: Create a new folder eg. C:\Games\Fallout2UP\ Copy fallout2.cfg, Master.dat, Critter.dat, Sound folder(I'm assuming the music is here under sound\music\*.acm) and the fallout2.exe(the installer will...

There will be.:wink: That one's already part of sfall thanks to Timeslip. There's a "ProcessorIdle" setting under the "Misc" section of the ddraw.ini.

@Anniealbertpage: The hi-res patch wont work on the steam fallout2.exe. The strange thing is that Killaps patch should have replaced the steam fallout2.exe with one that is compatible. If all else fails you could extract a copy of the fallout2.exe from the unofficial patches manual install...

@gvx: Ok I understand now, this is for your US to Chinese exe patch. Is this available to download somewhere or are you still working on it? I'm happy to make the hi-res patch compatible but I would like to have something to test it on before I do. In the mean time setting IFACE_BAR_WIDTH=640...

I meant I would adjust the position of the text so as to fit another line in the original graphics. It would probably look a little cramped but would be better than missing a line. So it would be a Chinese option only. Scrolling sounds the better option for the regular US version. Probably...

@NovaRain: I see what you mean, there is only room for seven lines of text. English versions do about eight I think. I might be able to fit an extra line in there by shifting things around a bit. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks gvx, I'll include your 'ScrnSet.msg' file in the next release. I'll see what I can do about row number and spacing options. This should only be necessary for the Chinese version correct?

New versions of the hi-res patches for fallout 1&2 are available. Links in my sig and the first post. Just a couple of bug fixes for fallout2. For fallout1 I've added a couple of small additions. A fix for the screen flicker problem and another to reduce cpu usage. These are both disabled by...

Re: Bug in patches v3.x.x I haven't had the chance to get much net time in lately so apologies to anyone who's been waiting for a reply. @akela: Sorry have know idea what the trouble is there. It's hard to tell but I don't think the hi-res patch is the problem, not directly anyway. You...

Thanks Drobovik, I'll include it in the next release.

If you haven't already, in the screen settings window try setting colours to 32bit. You access the screen settings off the main-menu under options. The psychedelic colours bug is an issue with 8bit colour direct draw games and Windows Vista/7.

Yep, it's compatible. It uses the same exe as the official US patch.

Don't no why that is, it's set as public in mediafire. I reposted it, it should appear a little bigger now at least. I'm window-fying the old mapper. I got bored with trying to get fallouts window system to do what I want. My aim is to remove the old mapper interface entirely and move all...

Scaling the original bar doesn't look so good imo. The blockiness of the stretched art looks bad against the game screen. The text is a problem as well as it's pretty hard to read unless the new res is a multiple of 2. So 1280 is probably the only width that would look half decent. I don't...

@Lexx: Been there done that. :) The wider interface bar is part of the current patches for both fallout1&2.

I didn't actually, internally the games are still 8bit. I just made them output in 32bit as a way to get round the palette corruption issues with later versions of Windows. And as for compatibility, the Fallouts already ran quite well on current versions of Windows. On the other hand, getting...

Increasing the resolution in the hi-res patch allows you to see more of the game at one time. Sfall's graphic modes on the other hand scale what you can see up to a higher resolution and also allows you to play in a window. The two can work well together. If setting the hi-res patch to your...

I don't intend to include any interface art for other resolutions at this time. You've done a good job though and you should definitely upload it somewhere so people can use it. Note: By your screenshot it looks like white has been set as the mask colour (the black pixels in the corners of...

Just to clarify, is it just while using the hi-res patch that you don't see movies? Do any of the movies work? eg. Interplay world logo, war never changes intro.

A couple of questions I might add. Does the black box appear when loading a saved game?(restart the game before loading) Does the black box appear if you disable subtitles before starting a new game? My thinking is the problem may lie with the opening overseer speech. Possibly the movie...
