Fallout 2 mod Fallout et tu - Release v1.10

I’ve just completed my first play-through and this is absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed the added content that I did discover. The motorcycle is an awesome addition. I laughed when I saw the G.E.C.K.s in the Vault 13 storeroom locker.

I only discovered one issue. Neal's urn wouldn't show up in my inventory when I stole it. I stole his urn during the day while he was sleeping and I'd received the "you swipe the urn hoping nobody noticed" text in the HUD. I know I was successful with stealing it because he wakes up and kicks you out of the bar if you fail. I ended up just using Sherry's testimony to bust the Skullz gang and moved on.

I want to thank Lexx and all involved in this project. You made my favorite RPG 100x more enjoyable.
 
I was thinking about the Shady trader already. Normally I'd put them behind a "if fixt_enabled" condition, but I actually kinda like him. Making him act like any other trader in the game wouldn't be a big problem.

About the git-issue, we haven't noticed anything.

Out of curiosity, did you have any party members with you at the time?

@Lexx
this guy is right. The urn is not created in inventory *if* one uses steal skill on the urn, however if one simply grabs the urn (hand icon) the urn get's spawned correctly in inventory. New guy said clearly that he tried to steal the urn, and not simply grab it ( this is the case as well in rev. from today 1657 or if i remember correctly.

Another issue. I met a guy and mantises in random encounter killed mantises & talked to the guy. He offered to travel to shady sands with me. Unfortuneatly when i arrived there was black screen and Shady sands music playing. I had to kill the game from app manager. Going to Shady Sands by yourself works fine however so it's this NPC's script that is flawed. New coupons for non-food items will help you save more on Publix Ad.
 
New Fixt wasn't released in january, but fear not, for I have come with news.

We've made a surprising amount of progress last month. So much so that FALLOUT ET TU is now (core-) feature complete!

All of Fallout 1's primary features have been ported over to the Fallout 2 engine and improved uppon. This task took us roughly 7 months with a bit of a break in-between, and we're pretty happy with that.

Since the Christmas Release last month, we've fixed a huge amount of bugs (Fixt and vanilla related), and added a couple more goodies and general improvements into the package. See the behemoth of a changelog further below.

This release also includes some restructuring:
The Fallout 1 interface, as well as everything related to the worldmap visuals has been split-off and turned into their own mini-mods. This means that players can enable/disable these components easily in the ddraw.ini to either keep the old Fallout 1-flair, or revert back to the stuff from Fallout 2 without having to hack into the files directly.

Changelog:
IMPORTANT: This release of FALLOUT ET TU uses a custom ddraw.dll file! Using a different ddraw.dll than the one provided in this package will result in certain features to be disabled, or the game simply crashing!

  • Added: Fo1-styled red travel marker dots and terrain info when traveling on the worldmap.
  • Added: Mod - Resized Super Mutant flameboy death animations, originally by @.Pixote.
  • Added: Mod - Fallout 1 interface mod. Replaces the Fallout 2 interface with the graphics from Fallout 1. This was originally a part of the fo1_base package, but is now its own thing for easier handling.
  • Added: Mod - First iteration of the german translation. All vanilla Fo1 core-dialogues are finished. Some of the new sentences aren't translated yet, and added dialog files from the old TeamX restoration mod, etc aren't translated yet either. Any help with finishing the translation is welcome!
  • Added: Mod - Classic Worldmap mod will now uncover and show locations the same way as in Fo1.
  • Added: Mod - Classic Worldmap special encounter blinking icon is now the same as in Fo1.
  • Added: Animations - Missing "exploded to nothing" / "Chunks of Flesh"-animations for rad scorpions (big and small).
  • Added: Animations - Missing running animation for female tribal NPC.
  • Added: Animations - Missing SMG idle animation for black metal armor dude.
  • Added: Animations - "Black" Combat Armor animations for the Brotherhood Armor. Works for players and party members. The style can be toggled on/off for Brotherhood NPCs in the fo1_settings.ini file.
  • Added: Animations - SMG and Pistol animations for "Yellow-Pants" metal armor woman.
  • Added: Animations - Rifle animations for Black Metal Armor Dude, because why not.
  • Added: Animations - Tycho-critter can now also use SMGs.
  • Added: Animations - Loser with black shirt animations (Unused for now).
  • Added: Animations - Black Man with black shirt animations (Unused for now).

  • Added: Zones around the Glow read "Rad. Mountains" / "Rad. Desert" (can't show full text length right now).
  • Added: Being in encounter maps in the zones around the Glow will radiate the player a bit, not just the traveling on the worldmap.
  • Added: "Out of Business"-sign will appear outside of Darkwater's store after Killian has been assassinated.
  • Added: Except for the squad leader, all generic Brotherhood paladins in random encounters will wear helmets (makes it possible to identify the leader without having to click on everyone).
  • Added: If the player has more than 1 radscorpion tail, Razlo in Shady Sands can craft antidote from all of them at once.
  • Added: Razlo's kids will return correctly to their home after dark. Also tweaked their dialog so they won't say they don't know where their parents are if they are right next to them.

  • Added: The locker used by the Water Thief in V13 will open and close on use.
  • Added: After joining, party members will face the player in dialog.

  • Added: Lorri, the Brotherhood of Steel Doctor, is now watching her locker.
  • Added: Exploded traps in the Glow will leave a visible graphic.

So what's up next you're asking?
Well, same as always. Fixing bugs when we find them, tweaking stuff when something annoys us, adding content when we like it. We still got some more small-scale projects in the pipeline. It's not 100% clear when we're done with that, though. I'll try not to stress myself out about it right now.

If someone wants to help with wrapping up the german translation, most of the files are already done. Some sentences are still in english .. but then there's also a couple files that weren't translated yet at all. This is primarily stuff from the old TeamX patch and various Fixt additions. It's very unlikely that I am going to finish this on my own, because I just don't play the game in german (anymore), so... any help is appreciated.

Nice, finally feature complete, gratz @Lexx & co. \o/
I also did now play in german for the longest time, bust I just forked the repo and will look at the missing translations when I find some time. Or is directly forking a bad idea because the encoding of the files?

Also: Do you rather want it strict vanilla as is was in the german version, or a bit better written? ^^

Well, as long as there aren't more typing errors, I don't really care too much about how it's written. I know that some other folks fixed up stuff some years ago, but all download links were dead, so I wasn't able to merge this stuff directly into the game.

What's important is that all .msg files are converted to ANSI. Otherwise the game will not correctly read the umlauts.
 
Fixt2 from 2015 or something like that. Pretty sure it included the last TeamX patch. We touched almost every script since we started, though, so it's really not the same anymore.

For me, the key part is the map fixes in the TeamX patches.
 
The invasions are in the game, and I even fixed bugs related to them. You can set all timers in the /config/fo1_settings.ini file.
 
I am running Fallout mods on my mac using crossover (loved Nevada by the way!). Unfortunately I can't get past the installation step where I have to extract undat.exe (Command return 255 - no idea what this means....)

Anyone would have an idea how to run this from a mac? Sorry being a mac user for work
