Problem
Hi, I've got a problem with the RP I can't seem to fix by myself.
I'm running the GOG.com version for Mac, which uses a Wineskin wrapper. Everything works fine, but when I try to enter Den, I enter instead a black "purgatory" blank level, which I cannot leave. It has the "loading wind" ambient sound. Attempting to rest results in a crash.
I tried to use an old trick and installed the GOG.com windows version on a friend's Windows XP PC, and used my save state. I was able to enter the Den, and made a couple of new saves which I transferred back to my Mac.
Attempting to load a position saved while inside the West side of Den results in a quickly flashing error message (impossible to read) and a failed load. Game does not crash. Attempting to load a position saved while inside the East side of Den yields success, but trying to enter West side results in purgatory. So it's only the West side that's bugged out.
I tried a regular installation from a CD as well, using the GOG.com wrapper, with same results. So it's not the game data, or the RP data, rather something goes wrong as a result of the modded game being played emulated (it would seem).
I'm using standard 640x480 resolution, mode=4
I saw this comment on another topic, but it goes way over my head. It could be related though.
To load RP, download the .EXE installer and run Wineskin.app and Install Windows Software (ignore the no new executable warning). You can edit .../ddraw.ini and .../f2_res.ini according to the RP's instructions. Be sure to rename or delete patch000.dat.
Fallout2.exe overwrites the files in .../DATA/proto/Critters and .../DATA/proto/Items erasing RP's files there. To prevent this on MacOSX, you need to run Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type:
Code:
sudo chown -R root (drag-and-drop the .../Items and .../Critters folders)
(Type in your password)
sudo chmod -R 444 (drag-and-drop the .../Items and .../Critters folders)
sudo chmod 1777 (drag-and-drop the .../Items and .../Critters folders)
sudo -k
I was really looking forward for my annual dose of nostalgia, and excited about the new content. I really hope someone will be able to help me.
