I know its probably a bit late for bug reports but i will anyway. first of all, after getting the cafe of broken dreams encounter and leaving the area it was not on the map where I encountered it (near San Fran). Instead it appeared up at Arroya.

Hmm, never heard that one before. Engine issue perhaps?

Second, after paying of Ranescos debt for him he was supposed to give me a discount on items. He didn't. i tried going out of the conversation and going back in but everything was still the same price.

Known and is fixed for the new release.

Thirdly, this is a strange one. If you go into combat in sneak mode, or even hit the sneak button while fighting, and then kill anyone with line of sight on you you can end combat and nobody else will come looking for you , even if they were on their way to attack you. I experienced this in the Raider camp and the Military base.

Engine issue, no way to fix this one.

Okay, any revised patches you would like me to test out, Killap or the one in download is the latest?
Click to expand...

The one available from my ftp or from the download section is my latest released version. I have a newer one all ready to go but I just need to finish the documentation. This shouldn't take too long, but I have been too busy to actually sit down and finish it.

If you plan on starting a new game, I would suggest waiting until I get this one out. Should occur no later than Friday.
 
No worries, I can wait....


But if I may make some suggestions...

More items in much needed places, for example Broken Hills, San Fran. Make use of the unused items like that other knife, The Back Pack (Big back pack).

Turn the Bozar into a sniper weapon instead of a foolish Burst weapon...

That is just some ideas.
 
To Killap: On the second release of your "A" patch I had a very slow
world map with a lot of encounters, you suggested to get the EXE file from the Interplay patch and it fixed my problem, running older computer. Will I have to reuse the EXE file that I got from Interplay when I download this latest update? I am near the end of the game, so I plan on finishing this one first before downloading.

At the moment yes, you will. The reason for your issue is that any computer that is over a 1Ghz will experience a world map that is way too sped up. My new .exe addresses that issue. (not in the best way, but pretty much the only feasible way for this game) I had assumed that more than enough people have computers that meet these specs. I do realize there are those who don't have such modern computers or there are those who enjoy playing fallout on old laptops, etc. For the time being, those individuals will have to use the .exe that is included in the official 1.02 patch.
 
Thank-you. Also could you post the link to the downloads on your web page. The read-me file in the down load section is from the Dec. release.

Well, the December 31st release is the most recent one available for download. My newest unreleased one is sitting on my computer awaiting upload to my server. I don't have a website of any sort for my work, but I can give you the link the the directory where I store all my files.

Oh, and one other thing...

Iguana on a stick and the the other iguana pieces should heal food and make that damn jerky useful...

Uh, just suggestions.
 
Well, here it is everyone, a new version of my patch has finally hit the streets. This version includes quite a number of fixes including several crash bug fixes. Updating is therefore highly recommend. No reinstall of the game is required, but if you are able to, I really recommend to.

I don't know if this will be my last patch or not, but I hope it is so that I can put full attention into the addon pack. I am sure new bugs will surface though, so expect more updates soon. :wink:

Well, enjoy and post if you encounter anything odd. Oh, and PLEASE read the readme included in the patch before installation. There have been several changes made to it to help clarify which patch should be used for your version of the game.

Note: My patch should be fully compatible with game versions other than U.S. To get it to work, download version 'A' of my patch, install following the instructions in the readme, but don't copy over the .exe file that is included. Instead, proceed to download the official 1.02 patch corresponding to the country version of your game. Only extract the .exe from that official patch and copy it over like the instructions in my patch call for. My patch should be set to go after this.

Code: 
FIXED since 12-31-05     
- Fire gecko pelt no longer shows up as "none" in the inventory.     
- Dunton's spawn spiked knuckled only once (first time entering the map)     
- Extra space in Aldo's dialogue.     
- various random encounter map issues     
- King Aruthur dialogue issues.     
- Guard in the house at the left of main gate of Vault City now has the correct script.     
- Message would show up in message window about trying to access the brotherhood outside door even if you are not trying to open it.     
- Dialogue screen does not keep popping up if teammates or other npcs try to access the door to Duppo's store.     
- Phazer and Zip gun should no longer have ammo type "none" when first obtained hence preventing you from reloading them until every bullet was used of this "unknown" type.     
- No can no longer walk into rocks in the shuttle crash map.     
- You can no longer enter the unfinished residential area of the Den.     
- Telling Nagor you won't find smoke would cause him to run into the wilds and die, but the quest would never be set to failed (crossed out)     
- Corrected issue with the door to Metzger’s storage building that prevented you from ever enclosing the doors after leaving the map. (the message window would say they are securely locked even though they are wide open)  
- You can no longer get three plasma transformers from Jeremy in Gecko.   
- Talking with Randal in Vault City after the first time will no longer cause him to reintroduce himself and call you "stranger"     
- Minor dialogue errors with Randal.     
- Spacing issues when receiving money from Metzger after a slave run.   
- The Elder should no longer "forget" being mad at you.     
- Typos with Marcus   
- Looking at prospectors now says "You see a Prospector" rather than just "Prospector"  Several other scripts have been updated for this. Done for consistency.   
- “If I solve the Bar Brawl quest in a peaceful manner (no-one dies, and no-one goes to jail) and then go talk to Dangerous Dan McGrew about it, he'll say that I killed everyone in that bar brawl and gets pretty pissed at me.” This has been corrected.   
- Geiger counter in the shelf behind the NCR guard in the house on the Bazar map is no longer turned on.   
- walking through tubs in Redding and Modoc wall in Grisham room is no longer possible.   
- Lou in Redding now places San Fran on your map.     
- Mines in Navarro fixed - have light step perk     
- One mine in the raiders map which was impossible to find unless walked on has been fixed.   
- the light step perk has been fully implemented into all mine scripts  
- the player now stops when a pit trap is spotted (like with mines) and all pits now appear correctly when spotted in the Raider’s map. Before some would only appear when stepped on.   
- The guards outside the Ghost Farm will now ALWAYS force dialogue with you.   
- Asking Duppo about where Carlson is no longer leads you to the incorrect dialogue option.   
- cleaned up errors with the computer when constructing the brain bot (would display the status of the bot incorrectly)   
- Corrected typo in Keith Wright’s script.   
- "At night, there are both Vault citizens and guards found at the two bars in Vault City. However, the "guards" there have the same description as the jumpsuit-wearing Vault citizens if you examine them. Also, the "guards" at the Parlor Room have the same items on them as normal Vault Citizens. They do have more Hit Points than the Vault Citizens, though."  These guards no longer have the citizen script but now use the guard script.   
- The doors to New Reno Arms now have scripts attached to them.     
- You no longer have to sleep with Mrs. Bishop first before being able to lockpick her safe. (bad scripting)    
- Disabling the Robot repair terminal now displays a message saying you did.   
- Can get a town rep great or less than neutral in Redding now.   
- Corrected typo in Gruthar’s text.   
- “On the map to the east of the entrance, there is a rec room to the southeast, in which there are two scientists. These two scientists are, however, labeled as "a person in a vault suit" instead of being "members of the United States Chemical Corps" and unlike the other vault suit-wearing people around here, are not carrying Plasma Grenades and have twice as many hit points.”  They now use the scientist script.   
- “On the next floor down, there are two desks facing each other in the first room you enter. You can walk through the upper desk.” This has been fixed.  
- Missing roof tiles filled in on Wright’s map in New Reno. Missing Road tiles also filled in on the San Francisco map.  
- Killing all the Hubologists now sets the “get fuel for them quest” (if accepted) to failed.   
- Vault 15 entrance map (squatters) now has a greeting message   
- Backstabbing Westin after accepting the quest to kill bishop now correctly sets that quest to failed. (crossed off)  
- Corrected potential crash when speaking with the brain about fixing the power plant.  
- Renesco barter discount works again.     
- Tragic addiction is probably going to be the best it can be.  Addiction tab correctly shows up when the addiction is obtained and the addiction only lasts one week rather than indefinitely.   
- Obtaining a bad reaction from Tubby would cause him to alter his prices when you barter. The modifier was set incorrectly, however, so instead of charging more, he would charge less.   
- Drug dealers in New Reno now charge less rather than more when you defeated the Enclave or are a made man, prize fighter, or porn star. The modifier was backwards.  
- Fixed potential crash occurring in Vault 13 after the death of Matt     
- Fixed potential crash with Sierra Army depot computer on level 2  
- Fixed several possible instances where a crash could occur during combat.  
- tons of misc. fixes to text files   
- traveler no longer marks the location of the sierra army depot when the description of the location given is clearly for the Milt base.  
- You are no longer able to shoot through the left corner wall of Mordino's room   
- Pretty much all barter price inconsistencies should be dealt with. (meaning that prices going through the script as opposed to just using the barter button should now be the same)   
- If you had exactly $124 and asked for the bath that costs $125 in Klamath, then the money check would pass and you would get the bath. No money would be removed from you inventory, however.

Interesting, what was causing these possible crashes during combat?

I sure hope that Unkillable Cat will keep hus hus, so that you can finally go for addon pack :wink: .

Well, I was looking through the combat taunt text files (there are like 30 taunts for every type of character) and I saw a couple syntax errors that would clearly cause a crash if an attempt was made to display it. Perhaps if the engine encounters a text line like this, it won't attempt to display it, but just to be sure I went ahead and corrected the errors.

heh, well UC was a big help in finding bugs, no I really cannot complain too much. 8)

Oh, and Skynet, when I start getting into full swing with the addon pack, would you be available to lend a hand? I want to begin incorporating areas (like abbey, city outside vault city, etc) and I will need some mapping help (I know you have already made major headway on areas like this so perhaps they can be used)
 
Due to the fact that I am now knee-deep in a wonderful little RPG called Gothic 2 (with the English expansion pack...finally!) I am on a little break from all things Fallout.

I still intend to replay Fallout 2 with a "Bitch From Hell" character, but until then, you won't be hearing a peep from me.
 
Thanks for the great patch, killap. I'm always in awe when I encounter such dedicated people.

Okey, now that we are done with the brown-nosing part I'd like to ask a question whether I should use the A or B patch. I own a UK version of Fallout 2 and it says 1.01 :shock: in the lower corner and it does not have a patch000.dat. I'd really appreciate any help.

Ah, I need to add that bit of information to the readme as well.

Here is what I think should work for those that don't have the US version of the game. In your case, download the version 'A' of my patch, but do NOT copy over the updated .exe file included. Instead, download the official 1.02 patch for the UK version and only copy over the .exe that comes with it. Doing this should work just fine. Let me know.
 
Yeah I will play the game with an inherently evil No good... Too bad they don't have like a Villain Karmic Trait, featuring that classic villain black PIPPic.

- World map slowed down and encounters should be more frequent with higher cpus. (also updated exe for future support of the addon pack)

Does this mean that money counter speed was fixed as well? eg, when you try to do more then 100 coins at a time, previously the speed was too high to get any accuracy at all, with equal luck you could get 500 or 5000, when you needed something in between. So had to release the mouse button, and press again, by an increments of 80 or so coins at a time.
 
Why not just type the exact amount using the keyboard, rather than trying to get the correct ammount by pushing the arrows?
