To be more precise, BOS files are ZIP files. The ones supplied on CD use no compression (though if you like you could compress them, I've tested this but it's rather moot since the compression is only worthwhile on the txt files and it slows down loading times).

To understand why there is no TIL->FRM conversion mechanism, simply look at both in Red!Viewer. Basically, the "cutout" isn't the same in both games and simply "skewing" and/or "rotating" the image won't solve the problem. It would be possible to create some weird converter that takes each...

I suggest: - Verifying that the critter_ and master_ "paths" are correct - Trying the full install - Reverting to the 1.02 "official" patch - Putting freespace to 20480 (heh, why not, fallout is working...) - Still no luck? try decompressing the DAT files Finally, could you check the...

Install the MSI version then install the zip version over it. If you have anything over DirectX8.0, it should work; I'm fairly certain it's not a DirectX issue either since I coded error checking in the DirectX initilization routines and appropriate popups should appear (like "video mode not...

Um, just start the game and select a custom player :P save/load it... the GCD format is pretty easy to figure out in hex if you care to take the time to look into it given you want to do something interesting (say, making a player with all 1 stats).

Use the editor... For anything more complicated, either use a hex editor - or if you like having traces of your work recorded, use the .txt files generated by the edtitor and the "rebuild" options...

When you use a skill on a device and it's the NPC's special skill and it exceeds your own value and you aren't too close to the item you wish to manipulate (and the NPC is in your party, duh); the NPC will mention something along the lines that he'll help out and run over to use the skill on the...

I've noticed that if you use the "extra round" to save your game (or do nothing, but make sure you dont' kill the oponent), the crashes don't happen. If you save during (and eventually load from said save) then it'll crash. On my machine this always works (with 1.02 of course). Sometimes you...

Indeed. With Dat Explorer You'll need to rebuild the DAT file from scratch (except in very specific cases) as to make sure the file sorting is correct (see the "How Fallout Find Files" thread to see my theory as to why this happens - although I have another one now given something I found in the...

Personally I like the official editor better than FIME/FIC. Though it does not support it all PRO (and MAP) are saved as text files which are real easy to edit. Though again there is still a limited set of things you can do within the text files themselves which you can still potentially only do...

Updated to version 1.6. Mostly just fixed typos, added lame comments about "outside game hotkeys" and the "bookmarks" section. Fixed up presentation a bit and revised some text to be clearer.

OK, I did some more test and research though some stuff might still elude me. For the most part, the game writing to patch000.dat and loading from it doesn't matter since the PRO files in the savegames themselves always have priority over any other ones. There is however an exception: when...

I still don't quite understand why people go through all this trouble when you can just name your first map artemple.map. I can understand the various other patches but this one in perticular eludes me.

Wait... sorry, this is FOT, not FO1/2. I have no idea how it works in FO:T (and my guess would go that it works as firecrack mentioned not that that my guess actually means anything). Sorry for the confusion caused - albeit I offer no warranties with any of my advice :P

Go in options and switch to any of the video modes and it will revert back to fullscreen.

I see not how being a "GREAT gamer" makes you "spend all [your] time playing games". Makes me wonder how come I have children then.

First, apply the 1.02 patch! If it still doesn't work, here are other things to do: - Update video drivers (and any other drivers you might have, say BUS mastersing etc) - Apply SP1 and the windows updates. - Make sure you have latest DirectX version Really wack ideas, probably mostly...

All you really need for the mapper to work is mapper2.exe (and the original fallout files). So download it, extract/install it; then copy the file onto a disk. It should generate the mapper2.cfg by itself though if not I don't think it's a big problem to fit it on there. You'll still need...

The thing is that the patch000.dat directory trick is needed so that the game saves it's temp save data (or current data if you want to call it that way). Keep in mind that Fallout2.exe deletes the pros from master_patches. So to use the mapper and game properly, you'll need to make sure that...

Mapper2 allows saving in text mode, perhaps it would be much easyer to import data from mapper2 text maps than from the normal binaries.
