Fallout 2 mod Banjo's Fallout 2 Mods

Could you upload a screenshot of how ddraw.ini will look after installation? I've tried to install some of your mods but can't get them to work ...
 
It has to look like ettu:
Code: 
PatchFile0=mods\fo1_base
PatchFile1=mods\fo1_interface
PatchFile2=mods\fo1_classic_worldmap
PatchFile3=mods\.....
PatchFile4=mods\...

Thanks for the reply.
There is a ";" at the start of each line, should I remove it?
 
Ok looks like removing the ";" fixed the problem. I did that because the first entry had this.
";PatchFile0=mods\RP_data"
I removed the ";" there too, is that wrong?
 
; is a comment. You only uncomment the mods that you want to use. I don't know what RP_data is.
 
If it was like that after installing the mod, I would keep it the way it is.
 
Eh, if you are using the latest version, then it most likely was not a mistake. If you just keep going, be prepared for having to restart your playthrough at some point.
 
Sorry for the delay in answering!

Anyone having trouble: follow the readme files I included for each mod. Some (mostly the Et Tu ones) require editing the Patchfile stuff in ddraw.ini (as Lexx also explains). Make sure you don't put a semicolon in front as that comments out the line!

My ddraw.ini "ExtraPatches" section looks like this for the Shady Traders mod:
Code: 
PatchFile0=mods\fo1_base
PatchFile1=mods\fo1_interface
PatchFile2=mods\fo1_classic_worldmap
PatchFile3=mods\Anim_ImprovedSMutantDeath
;PatchFile4=mods\InterfaceUpscaled
;PatchFile5=mods\fo1_barter_formula
;PatchFile6=mods\fo1_german
;PatchFile7=mods\fo1_robodog
PatchFile8=mods\fo1_ShadyTrader
... which means all the default Et Tu stuff will load, along with my mod, but the optional Et Tu stuff (4-7) won't.

For mods that work with the Restoration Project Update (note: NOT Killap's original but the current/updated version!), again follow the readmes. The RPU doesn't use ExtraPatches but just throws dat files into the mod folder so the game will ALWAYS load them regardless. Sadly, Sfall prioritizes dat files like this over ExtraPatches, meaning if the RPU changes a proto (for example), a patch with the same proto will not override it but will be overwritten by the RPU version (far as I can tell, anyway). Hence, to avoid this, a mod I made that needs to overwrite an RPU script, proto, frm, etc. will be in a folder starting with "z" and ending in ".dat" to make sure it gets loaded (automatically) after any RPU stuff.

As far as I can tell, the ExtraPatches entry ";PatchFile0=mods\RP_data" is a leftover that isn't used anymore, so leave it alone.

Minor mods that don't need/use/co-exist with the RPU can use the ExtraPatches method, however, for example:
Code: 
;PatchFile0=mods\RP_data
PatchFile1=mods\RadscorpLimbs

Bigger mods that may be overwritten by the RPU if you have it installed (or that rely on the RPU) are just installed by copying the folder into your "mods" subfolder and will load automatically (i.e. no need to edit ddraw.ini for those).

Hope that all helps!

been trying really hard to install the bozar sniper mod with no avail. Do I have to have a fresh new game for it to work or can I just lay the mod over top my current save file like ive been trying to do?

If there's a mods_order.txt in your "mods" folder, add the folder name to the list, like this:
Code: 
rpu.dat
rpu_enhanced_worldmap.dat
BozarSniper

Im using the restoration project which already has its own mod folder, but i didnt find anything called mods_order.txt
 
ok so i put the pro file in Fallout 2\data\proto\items and then loaded the game. I realize the game would not crash if i loaded a save where i wasn't holding the bozar so i loaded a save right before i got the bozar (toxic caves). I then inspected the bozar and it had its ammo amount changed to 10 and range also changed so it seemed like it recognized the mod. As soon as I equiped the bozar into my main item slot the game would crash. I noticed i would get a new file in the items folder called 00000455.pro which i then deleted which fixed the game crashing every time i equipped the bozar while also properly implementing the mod.

TLDR
put pro file into items folder
load game and let it crash
look back into the items folder and delete the file called 00000455.pro
load game again and bozar is fixed

455.pro is not the bozar, it's the car's trunk (item stash)
 
A minor point but Kenji's assassination attempt is supposed to fail. Changing his weapon to something with higher average damage could potentially upset the outcome. Normally Kenji only succeeds with help, either active, (attacking Killian) or passive, (planting a better weapon on Kenji, using psycho on him, or using stimpaks during combat to heal him). Kenji killing Killian means you can take all the supplies in the store without stealing, which can upset the economic balance.
