Does anyone have any experience playing with Fo2tweaks damage mod compared to the damage mod that is enabled by default in Et Tu? I played FO1 & FO2 with the vanilla damage calculations. Not really sure if the NMA Nevada pack had a damage mod but I played that exclusively unarmed.
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I can't seem to reach Idolized status in Junktown. I've tried a few different runs just short of skipping quests and killing every "bad" npc in town. I saw a post earlier about there not being enough points available but there was nothing to indicate this being fixed in the v1.6 or v1.7 changelog.
Guys, how many NPCs now fit on the bike? I mean, can I use the bike having Ian, Tycho, Katja, Dogmeat and both bots in the team? Secondly, if I use FO2 charisma limit of the party then I won't be able to have them all in the group as 5 NPCs will be max with CH=10? It would be nice to have an option to use FO2 party limit but get one free...perhaps the mutt
Edit:
Lexx..? I've read in the thread that you raised/modified bike limit but it was before adding second bot to the mod. So now you can have 3 human NPCs on the bike with the expansion and dogmeat/bots are not counted towards that limit? What about CH party limit - is it like in the FO2 (using FO2 option in .ini) so dog/bots do also count?
I noticed some people using wine had problems. I installed it and could only run Fallout 2. What helped me was:
open winecfg
go to libraries
type ddraw in the search box
click add
and make sure to use native then built-in.
Runs like a charm now.
Also it's in the sfall-readme.txt file.
Lexx, great job doing this for the community & keep up the good work.
Little bug that I discovered while fighting the Master. Every time his death animator plays out, it desyncs with the base of his model. At least when you fight him at point blank range.
I'm new to both this mod and the 2D Fallout games so I'm not entirely sure if this issue is related to this mod or not and couldn't find much help with the search function. Do the SPECIAL stats function as they would in Fallout 1 or do they function as they would in 2, as I haven't been able to survive the first random encounter after leaving the vault and am unsure which game's SPECIALs I should research on to make a custom character with.

The SPECIAL/derived stats/skills relationships in et tu are the same as in Fallout 1. The only exception is now Charisma is a bit less than a dump stat, unlike how it was in vanilla FO1.

Tweaked: The Fo2 party member combat control interface fits better to the rest of the Fo1 interface now.
Tweaked: The gecko hunters are not giving a random outdoorsman-skill reward anymore but a fixed 5% increase.
This time a bit faster than the last release. v1.8 comes with a couple restored characters, lots of minor fixes, lots of minor tweaks, we brought back more Fo1 interface effects (all the clicking sfx on the worldmap - in vanilla Fo2, none of those exist), and there's some party member balance changes (less +skills and hitpoints per level up, which helps balancing the game some more. Keep in mind that vanilla Fo1 party members couldn't level up at all).
I've also decided to finally release the Expanded Endings-option. I am sitting on the files for over a year now and never had the time to finish it. With the help of Tagaziel and The Dutch Ghost, we've added 15 new possible ending slides to cover all major events in the game, including what happens to currently active party members. The reason why I've been sitting on those files for so long is because I didn't had the time to finish the actual ending slide graphics (still don't, but I finally wanted to release it anyways). If someone feels motivated to help getting this 100% done, and is able to create vanilla Fo1 style ending slide images, feel free to reach out to me.
Note: The expanded slides are disabled by default, but can be enabled at any time. You can save the game shortly before finishing it, watch the vanilla slides, then enable the option, reload your savegame and see the ending again.
There's also a new mini-mod, made by @.Pixote. - Alternative Force Field graphics:
When enabled, this mod will swap the vanilla yellow and red force fields to new, animated ones. They look pretty cool, I got used to them quickly and can't without it anymore now.
Ok, that's it. Got nothing more to say. Peace out.
To use this mod, open the ddraw.ini, go to [ExtraPatches] and add "PatchFile[number]=mods\fo1_alternative_forcefields" at the end of the "PatchFile"-list! The game will now load the additional mod folder.
If there is more than one additional mod, make sure to correctly number the "PatchFileX" entry (1, 2, 3, ...).
You can completely ignore ddraw.fo1in2.ini file. Actually it shouldn't even be there, likely slipped in by accident.
/Edit: I just had half a heart attack, because I thought the release package is botched.. but it's not. You're taking the files directly from the repo, which is why there are files that aren't of interest for "normal players."
