Fallout 2 Restoration Project 1.1 (Unofficial FO2 Expansion)

[Azmodael]

Excuse me for the stupid question but what exactly has to be done in order to play this mode oO. Kind of new to the whole modding thing...

I installed the game in d:/games/fallout 2
The mode suggested that i install it in d:/games/fallout 2

and since this is the game directory i accepted it. The only thing i have applied beforehand is the official patch. So i started the .exe file, it installed itself, all fine and dadny. Now what?!!?! Is there something more to be done?

I started the game with New game (surprise ) but so far i've found 100% nothing of the new stuff mentioned. For example where is the additional Den area oO

Please help out the noob!

PP: Why am I a hideous freak of nature!

You should not have installed the official patch.
You just need a clean install and the mod installer!

Just read the instuctions on the first page
Don't mind the fixes they are included in the installer from the februari 6 release:
http://www.killap.net/fallout2/expansion/1.1/F2_Restoration_Project_1.1.exe

If everything installed correctly it should say so in the main screen and you see a rock near klint at the start of the game.
The extra den area is left of Smitty's shop.

Hi, I just reinstalled the game and the expansion package, with all the script fixes too, and have started playing a new game, and I noticed that as soon as I left Arroyo, I haven't encountered Kaga yet, which happened as soon as I left in the other games I have played. Is it patience or is something wrong? Thank you!

Great mod.. I'm currently up to New Reno, and have killed off the three 'evil' mob families.

I'm curious if you can add onto this a way to help clean up Father Tully and get his act together so he can help get the prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, and addicts (if there are any) off of the streets. I just helped Mrs. Wright blow up the still, and I'm thinking that this should dry up Reno's alcohol problem, and dry up Father Tully's alcohol problem, then maybe his head will clear up and him and Mrs. Wright, with the help of the Wright family, can clean up New Reno. I don't know if this is something the original dev team wanted or not, but it seems like a good idea.

Also, there's gotta be a way to clean up Mordino's Drug Testing facilities and free the slaves there. After killing everyone, including the whole Mordino family, the slaves STILL stick around. You'd think you could tell them that they're free, and then they'd all run off somewhere.

And there's gotta be a way to clean up The Den's drug and addict problems too. The place is in a sad state of affairs, so why not kill off the drug dealers, which cleans the town up? Or maybe that second bottle of Jet cure can be given to Becky or Mom and they'll distribute it in the alcohol or food?

As for bugs.. there's some errors I'm getting with the Molerat village outside of Vault City. I spoke with the guy when I first entered the village, and the option that there's another way.. says 'Error' instead. I clicked it and it worked, but weird that it comes up as 'Error'. When I went to Vault City to talk to McClure about it, he said he'll change his mind if I find a way to get rid of the molerats. So I went back to the village and everyone acted like I already fixed the problem. The guy wouldn't speak to me again. McClure wouldn't speak to me any further on the subject either. Weird.

Also, the 'non-violent' way of dealing with the Raiders.. how does it work? The moment I stepped into the Raider's base, they began attacking me. The tribal didn't do anything! Do I have to kill Bishop first, then enter the base?

***SPOILERS ABOUND***

***
This is actually pretty difficult. IF you have a high enough outdoorsman or have the raider's map then you go to the manhole and not the main enterance. If you get to the manhole you're in a lovely little storage area.

HOWEVER, the problem here is that once you walk towards the tribal the guy one of the raiders SEEs you and thus goes hostile. The only way I ever got the peaceful ending was the put sneak on and try to get past without him seeing (I think I also had the stealthboy from the abbey too) and then having to pass some hard speech checks. Its quite difficult!

But once you've done that you get a message saying you've broken the raider's strength - thus you can turn around and kill everyone anyway! All dead! YAY!

Just wanted to say thank you, killap. this game is just too good to die.

also... Is there even a projected date when this mod would become available for the mac?

thanks also to everyone else who helped in this process. i'm only in Gecko, but it's been great so far.

Hello, I've got a question. It says I should use a clean installation, but I have a problem with that. Because I own the dual jewel case which includes fallout I and II but already as latest version with the patches included. What shall I do? I won't be able to have a clean installation. Are there any other possibilties to get the expansion working?

Please give me an answer 'cause I like to play it.

thx

Martin

I have the F1/F2 duel case too and everything works fine. Just make sure you did a humongous install and then install the expansion using the installer.

this is due to the fixes you've installed. everything's fine, you'll meet Kaga alright, but a little bit later

2. i have already downloaded the tribel fix, but didn't work


please help

thx


Add,add is there a walkthrough for the new quests and places?

sorry but i can't find nothing via search function of the forum

 

[Petrell]

Hello have some problems at primitive tribe:

1. can't fix well alt hough i've got rope and buckle

known bug. There should be away to complete it but doing things in wrong order breaks the quest easily (you'll need save before getting the quest).

2. i've got the 10 knifes and 5 spears but it is allways the same the dialogue says that "i come back when i found them!"

are they standard knives and spears? Combat knives and sharpened spears wont do.

Add,add is there a walkthrough for the new quests and places?

Not yet.

 

[Fasciana]

Hello and Thx!

1. But i don't understand this what is the way (sorry for my stupidity ):

known bug. There should be away to complete it but doing things in wrong order breaks the quest easily (you'll need save before getting the quest).

add: i talked to the men next to the well first, he always says, he has no time and i shall come back later, that's why i tryed solving the quest without getting it. It is shown in the pipboy, too. i was able to fix the rope, but i was unable to fix buckle. and when i am look at the well, it says a rope and buckle are missing, althuogh the rope is attachted.

Is it necessary to get the quest from the guy next to the well? If yes, how do I get it?

2. knifes are standard, I tried both spears sharpened and standard, didn't work

are they standard knives and spears? Combat knives and sharpened spears wont do.

add: i finding it confusing because during the dialogue it says sharpend or not doesn't matter. that's why i suggest to edit this dialogue


so that's it for now. hoping for some help, please.


thx a lot

I just helped Mrs. Wright blow up the still, and I'm thinking that this should dry up Reno's alcohol problem, and dry up Father Tully's alcohol problem, then maybe his head will clear up and him and Mrs. Wright, with the help of the Wright family, can clean up New Reno.

You don't know any alcoholics, do you? =P

 

[Petrell]

Hello and Thx!

1. But i don't understand this what is the way (sorry for my stupidity ):

This is quote from killap.

What I meant by the old way was getting the quest from the tribal himself as opposed to looking at the well and fixing by taking the initiative yourself. The quest was originally setup where the tribal near the well would give you the quest once your rep in the village went up some. Doing the weapons quest, shaman quest, etc, are ways to make your rep increase.

As of the fixed script file it became possible to fix the well without first being told to do so. I guess something got bugged here since so many are not getting it to work. Still, try and get the quest from the tribal and see if that works.

Is it necessary to get the quest from the guy next to the well? If yes, how do I get it?

You should be able to get the quest by making the village to like more by completing other quests first.

Did you by change install the 6th of February version? As I understand it, it has all the fixes incorporated and more (actually installing them might screw up something). I could not get the well working either on the 13th of january release (with fixes) but the weapons quest worked just fine for me (and am pretty sure he accepted only standard ones). Maybe the newer version changed something in which case you'll need to ask the author, killap or someone who uses the newer release.

 

[killap]

The newest 1.1 release (actually its a silent release of a pre 1.2 done for a gaming magazine) does indeed make changes allowing you to give either regular or sharpened spears to the warrior.

bugs

Hi, killap, thank you for your great work. And the "bugs" i've found (sorry for my poor english):

about steal:
1, The slavers in the Slaver's Camp will never turn hostile when stolen.
2, Stealing infinite ammo and stimpacks from the mysterious stranger is much easier, for he/she may appear in empty maps and friendly encounters.

about caves in random encounters:
1, In some caves there are some well-equipped robbers, but they act like dummies, run to you or just stand there, never shoot their guns or swing their knives, except those who equip unarmed weapons.
2, It might be a bug in the original game. Sometimes you would enter an empty cave, and when you went out, left the map, you were teleported to a position far away from where you ought to be!

others:
If Lara was killed during the gang war in Den Residential Area, but her gang won the battle, she would re-appear in the church.

hey killap, thanks for all the work you've done, just curious though, whats the timeframe we are looking at to be expecting 1.2 to roll out?

Thx Petrell for your quick and nice answer. I'll try all you have written.
