Look, Ma! Two Heads!
I've got a new problem now, so I'm recylcing my old thread on the Abbey so I don't have to clutter up the forum. Skip the first 7 or so replys to get to the stuff regarding this:
Alright, a month later I've got a completely new problem with the same map.
To fill you in, I'd been trying to add the Abbey and also a small map that I'd made as my first attempt with the mapper. After a long fight, I've finally gotten both to show up on the world map and my own map working. But trying to enter the Abbey from the world map results in the game locking up on a black screen.
My hunch is that the entry I added to the City.txt file is somehow conflicting with the already existing entry for the unfinished Abbey, or more likely some discrepency in one of the other files in the game. I didn't do anything special with the files to account for the Abbey having already been mentioned in some, just tried to make an all new entry with a differently named map (abbey2.map as apposed to abbey.map).
Anyone got ideas as to what to do?
Note to the Modderators: I'm putting this here, rather than in my other thread on adding locations, because I figure the Abbey is a special case since it's already in some game files.

Alright, so for the longest time I've been trying to get the abby mod working and I'm at my wit's end about it, so here's the problem:
I've tried both the English and Polish version (even though I don't speak Polish, I figured it'd be worth a shot to maybe figure out if the copy of the mod I had was faulty), and both give me the same problem: I install the mod just as the instructions sugest, unziping the mod's files to the Fallout 2 data folder, and then run the game. The readme says the abby should be north of Gecko, but there is nothing there. I've searched the whole world map with no luck. However, I know the mod does something because the Polish version translates all the item descriptions to Polish, and the English version doesn't contain any files relating to items that I've noticed (no 'proto' file in the english version).
Anyone got ideas? Maybe I'm just using an uncompatable version of the game? I bought this copy a couple years ago (replacing my old copies that were beat to hell) but I forget what the exact version was.
