    My experiments wit Anim8or, Vol.II. Your opinions and advice

    Thanks, Nova. I'm downloading wings 3d. Sadly Gmax can't be downloaded anymore, they just keep the forums... Rendering wasn't going to be a problem, both Anim8or and blender can export/import 3ds files, amongst others. Cheers.

    How to create item(gun) with no ammo ?

    You *could* try something like this (I can guarantee no success): Spawn the weapon via script WHILE the PC is in a conversation (remember that containers CAN start a conversation, well, kinda...). Have your script do so: 1 Check if dude helds a weapon in the active slot. 2 Spawn the weapon...

    How to create item(gun) with no ammo ?

    Sorry, but as far as I know you Fo2 engine can not spawn weapons with no ammo. Apart from shooting bullets the only thing that can unload a weapon is a critical miss... See you.

    My experiments wit Anim8or, Vol.II. Your opinions and advice

    Update: the truck is a somewhat older model, the car a work in progress (headlights and the rear part of the body really need some trimming). For Nova: thanks for the info, mate. For The_Vault_Dweller: yeah, not much good stuff around, not from the indusry anyway... For Kahgan: I...

    My experiments wit Anim8or, Vol.II. Your opinions and advice

    Thanks for your appreciation folks! I just worn you: now that you can see my work more in detail you'll discover some flaws... Anyway... To Nova: I checked wings3d some time ago, it seemed a pretty incomplete package to me... That's how it is considered by the guys who dwell @ Gamedev. Are you...

    My experiments wit Anim8or, Vol.II. Your opinions and advice

    My latest achievement in 3d modeling... ...and now the the actual 2D result in a game I'm modding... :lol: Now, I have a few troubles with my tools... Anim8or is simple to use, but it's mostly a surface editor: no boolean subtractions, no nurbs and so on. In addiction to this not...

    Searching fallout animations

    You'll find all characters/creatures frames in CRITTER.DAT in your Fo2 cd/installation folder. Unpack them with a .DAT packer/unpacker. Is your project a commercial one? I hope you DO realize there are a few troubles with copyrights and intellectual property... Until you use those graphics as...

    An easy way?

    It depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you simply want to change WORDS in a dialogue, then you simply have to edit .MSG files. I f you want to give both the PC and NPC more dialogue options (this is the case of an original game npc giving a new custom quest, for exemple), then you'll...

    An easy way?

    Let's suppose you want to change Klint's name: open your data/text/english folder. You'll find three folders. You need to edit data in two of them. Open the dialog folder and look for a file called acklint.msg: .MSGs files contain all dialigue, descriptions and names of critters. Open with...

    Current EPA Project

    Hi there :D This is the kind of code I'm using. The hometile variable is used to a have the critter to wonder within a given radius thus avoiding it to wander across an entire map. If you're trimming an existing script remember to augment the local variables number in...

    Tutorial - How To Make New FO2 Tiles

    Hi there, Dvukomanovich! :D It has been a while! I tried to follow the instructions in your post, but without success... I only tried two free tools up now (Blender and Anim8or), but I'm always unable to get something useful out of the info I find here at NMA... For now I manage somehow...

    Trouble making new weapons .frm's

    Hi there. If I'm correct the original .frm contain data not all tools can write/add to new images. To get your image work you should copy and paste it on a pic converted from an original .frm. I say you "should" because the resulting loss in shades and details isn't accettable... To run...

    Hologram Scripting Problem

    Global variables are the easiest to use. You don't need to declare them in your scripts. Just add them in fallout2/data/VAULT13.gam, then use them. Are you using an ide like FSE or are you making all manually?

    Hologram Scripting Problem

    The exemple I gave you wasn't compilable... Just an exemple. Try something like this: procedure talk_p_proc begin if (global_var(GVAR_FIND_MARTHA) == 0) then begin if (local_var(LVAR_Herebefore) == 0) then begin start_dialog_at_node(Node001);//pc/npc didn't talk before...

    Fallout 2 Mapper

    Sorry, now I'm at a loss.. My D backup drive works like a separate HD (or so I think) and has no operating system installed. As far as the install goes I'd go for E, but do give a try to C just the same. The only other problem I'm aware of it's the mapper requiring at least 300 megs of free...

    Even Canada hates us...

    I say: let's cool down. We've got plenty of time to vivisect the game when it's out, if it's the case. I haven't checked all the links in this thread, but Paperbackwriter sounds like a decent guy... Let's give him a chance. No apologies needed, IMHO. Cheers, folks.

    Fallout 2 Mapper

    Hi there. Is your HD partitioned in any way? My HD is C with a D backup partition, and I had to install everything in D to have it work. Is your game copy a English/American one? If it's not then you'll have to tinker a bit with Fo2 mapper .cfg file, in order to have it read a different language...

    Even Canada hates us...

    As a 39 years old player I can't stand Hollywood-like productions... Too much inane shiny cliches... I like the innovative Fallouty setting... Can't stand the fake middle age one anymore... As a professional in life I respect serious professionals and pay attention not to mix with those *...
