It wouldn't hurt to put it in a zip file first. :-) *edit*: Welcome back Killa' P. :-) Hope you're having a good quarter / term. December can't come soon enough for me ... too many concurrent obligations! (And for me, it's mostly my fault, as I tend to take on too many things at once all...

@brfritos: sounds like a good one to upload to the wiki, with a link to a savegame. -m

Sound quality was really poor in both clips; looked like the mic on the table got bumped between interviews and was pointing more up at an angle; very hard to hear the interviewees especially in the second clip (especially Tim Cain sitting on the far end). And I agree about the interviewers...

Great; good timing... right after the quarter started so I'm away for many weeks before getting the news. On the issue of compromised email addresses: Sneakemail (http://snkmail.com), which used to be completely free, offers free disposable email addresses. You can create one for every...

Thanks Dravean; nice to know somebody agrees with something I opined (and bothers to read my posts). ;-) -m

Wow, fascinating demo. I grabbed my four characters and started exploring, then promptly ran into the quarantine area and backpedaled, going down instead to the VIP suite. :D Didn't much care for the idea of taking damage just because I tried to advance and ran into a wall (or a table or...

:lol: I had to think about that one for a moment. Much funnier (and more euphamistic) than "condoms." :P There'd be an initial period of barter, though... currency requires some sort of valued, fungible commodity with a generally agreed-upon value, whether by consensus or from authority...

Thanks, Aguirre: the Fallout 1 Mini-DatMan and MVE to AVI converter (8-bit) tools were exactly what I needed. Before, I was using Audacity to tinker with combining the separate "Maybe" and "Ron Perlman" tracks along with some of the "Wind" tracks. I got a pretty good approximation of the...

I tend to agree with Lazo and Dr Prozac, especially about weapon condition / repair. Weapons should work as expected until damaged, and then they should not work. (Or with light damage, they should have reduced performance but increased odds of catastrophic failure.) In fact, a weapon that...

:D :rofl: Oh my gods, you had me laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair! Your comedic timing is excellent, sir. :clap: :notworthy: Maybe everyone else in the city has died already, and he's the last survivor who also should have died, but his hatred of you and his desire for...

Great; that helps: thanks! Which editor works best for Fallout 1 .dat files? I can get into the master.dat file in Fallout 2 with DatExplorer, but not Fallout 1. (I don't speak Russian, or I'd explore the TeamX site, too. :-) ) -m

Avast detects "Win32: Malware-gen" in FrmEditor, available in the NMA Files section. Can anyone confirm whether the file is compromised or whether this is a false positive? If it's a bad file, then is there a clean copy somewhere, or is there another editor you'd recommend instead? -m

Appreciate the tips. I'm concerned about audio quality degredation, though, from recording with a separate program during playing of the intro in-game. The intro video itself must be embedded in the Fallout .exe file or something then, and not extractable? (If we had the .avi file or...

Okay; after reading back through this thread again and some other discussions, I've formed an opinion: Please don't add any new weapons to Fallout. It's okay to have merchants who can modify a weapon to improve it, but adding new weapons (especially the more-powerful ones) messes with the game...

@Continuum: I like the first one, as long as both people's faces will be visible. Also, the white Fallout logo on the wood looks neat in general, but it might be a bit busy/crowded, and since "Fallout" is already on the comic book covers, my vote would be to just have the wood blank, without...

None of the places you linked to has the audio from the game introduction that I'm asking about. (No version of "Maybe" that "skips" partway through and ends abruptly; no Ron Perlman "war never changes" speech.) The remastered soundtrack is cool, though, and I appreciate the link. Still...

Is there any way to get audio files for the Fallout (1) intro and Ron Perlman audio? (Download, extract, look in the right folder, etc...) I know "Maybe" is available in the Music folder, but it's the end-credits version, not the skipping-record version. I'm planning to burn a Fallout...

Creating companions sounds sort of like creating a multi-character party for any RPG (PnP in particular). For Fallout, a companion-creation system could work, if: 1. all the normal companion-based limits were imposed (such as the charisma-based limit on the number of party members) 2. the...

My friend "Frost" and I loved Wasteland and played it for hours on end, backing up our saves by copying the entire game folder since you couldn't save ... (every time you leave or enter an area, it would save over the one save game slot). Frost played the "official" sequel (Fountain of Dreams...
