fallout 2 - dying for no reason problem

[mevlut]

Hello everybody!
I'm stuck in redding and need really help in there.
I was on my way with sulik, cassidy and vic to kill those morton thug sonuvabitches. I entered the west side of redding, murdered the bastards, and begin to think about cleaning the wanamingo mine. i used one dose of buffout and two doses of jet (and haven't addicted); then i killed almost 8 wanamingos. there were 4 of wans left but i began to suffer from withdrawal of buffout so i planned to move on to g floor from elevator, rest a bit and get to my normal stas, then clear the rest of mine. i clicked the rest until healed button but i died after 2 days. i think that the reason is radiation so i moved to redding downtown and hired a bed but the problem is still remaining. so i rested for a day, and went to painless doc johnson and get cured for radiation and get my party healed. now some of my stats are 1 or 2, i haven't get healed of jet and buffout withdrawal but when i rest if only 10 minutes, i keep dying. if i wait for time to pass and leave the game open i get dead again. i tried to travel in world map but im getting dead again. im not poisened, not addicted, not radiated. what the f.. is the problem with this? i could really use your help please.

i'm using the last restoration mod and i haven't met a bug except this one yet.

i'm a newbie and i suppose this post could be entered in modding part of the forum. apologies and it can be moved.

Don't have a clue about anything the mod would do since I've never used it, but are any of your stats dropping too low? I actually haven't messed with drugs in fallout for several years but iirc if any of the special stats drops below 1 you die. Best thing to do in that case other than loading an older save is to counteract it with other drugs and rest a few days


I'm sorry about not meeting any bugs yet but if it makes you feel any better you've just met a monkey

i think this happens cause of a stat drops to zero. cause buffout withdrawal appears earlier than jet. and when buffout withdraw begins i can't have enough time to get healed for the jet so i die. i do not have any saves but my only quicksave, so can i activate a temporary god mode or something?

.. so can i activate a temporary god mode or something?

There isn't any god mode available, I'm afraid.
However, if you are desperate enough, try to fiddle with a hex-editor. There are character's stats stored in save.dat file:

0x08 	 0x04 	 Base strength. 
0x0C 	 0x04 	 Base perception. 
0x10 	 0x04 	 Base endurance. 
0x14 	 0x04 	 Base charisma. 
0x18 	 0x04 	 Base intelligence. 
0x1C 	 0x04 	 Base agility. 
0x20 	 0x04 	 Base luck.

Beware, it's an awkward brute method and shit happens occasionally, so make a backup of your SAVEGAME directory before!

An easier method, if you can contain yourself, is a save editor like Falche that does the editing for you through a nifty GUI. Don't know if this works on modded games or not though. If you want to try it out download it from this site, raise all your stats to 10, then load your game and rest a week for the drugs to wear off. Then go back and return them to their original values.

Or if you know what drugs raise which stats you can mix and match drugs to avoid death, hunter thompson style

hey guys! i downloaded 2 hex editors for editing my save and i understand shit about hex editing. so i looked deep into monitor and try to solve what the f those numbers are. but still i understand nothing.

thanks to vad,(and olsa farmerk) i found this save editor :
http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46523&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

and i added 3 buffouts in my inventory. then used one to make my endurance raise, then i rested for the drugs to wore off. so it worked out! thank you all!

and about drugs, this game have educated me again
