Converting Fallout 1 to 2?

First time out of the vault
Hey, I was just wondering if it's possible to convert Fallout 1 into the Fallout 2 engine? Is there anyway of doing this?
 
I asked the same thing 3 months ago :) But I think for the effort involved it would be more wise to convert it to Ian-Out
 
fallout 1 IS already in the fallout 2 engine..

or more precisely.. fallout 2 was made with the same engine as fallout 1.. ( albeit a somewhat updated and modified one.. )

you can extract the maps from fallout 1's dat and load them into the editor..
and the scripts should work..
however, the fallout 2 scripts are in a different order to the fallout 1 scripts, and some have been superceeded..
so you would have to add the old scripts to the end of the fallout 2 scripts in the scripts.lst, and then edit all of the maps to point to the right scripts again.. ( since for example, the script for a door in fallout 1, is now the script for a raider.. )
 
Alright, thanks guys, and I checkout out Ian-Out, it's looking good!

And ColJack - Yeah, I understand what you mean, seems a little difficult just for some minor changes.. I just wanted the interface and such, but yeah thanks for the help
 
You use a FO1 DAT unplacker Kahgan, the DAT formats must be slightly different. Go to Team-X and download from there
