Hello perfectly normal non mutated peoples.
I've recently installed GoG's fallout 2 on linux using PlayOnLinux (wine). I ran it for a while and it ran well, and then decided to install RP. I downloaded the installer for 2.3.3, installed and had to solve a few issues to make it run (install dx9, override most dx9 dlls to use native, set resolution to the same as my monitor and set mode to dx and change ddraw to opengl). It now works, starts... but, I can't save.
I experience this same error:
http://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/fallout2-restoration-save-game-issue.191921/ I tried replacing these critters in the master.dat, either with dat2 directly, or using master_dat_fix.exe on the batch_works directory. Move it back but I still can't save.
And I can't find any way to do debugging/logging to see what/why it's failing. The game creates the SLOT directories inside SAVEGAME dirs and inside the slot dir it creates proto\critters and proto\items but no other files or dirs.
Any tips and help is welcome.
EDIT:
I'm starting to think it's not related to master.dat, I've tried recreating master.dat (extract everything, then create a new master off all the extracted files), still doesn't work. I've also checked all permissions on the save directory and they all seem alright.
I'm attaching a full list of all files inside master.dat to see if anything is missing (if someone has a master list to compare with), just in case.
