Fallout 2 mod Fallout et tu - Release v1.9

Hah, you're right - I didn't start a new game. I checked the save game folders and saw there was a PROTO folder, but inside it there's only a single item and it wasn't one that I edited so I assumed it was fine. The protos must be packed into individual .sav files then?

Separately, I finished the game and have prepared my notes on (potential) bugs. Should each individual item be a new issue on GIT?

I've also attached all relevant configuration files. If a save would be helpful for any of these, I may have it. I only keep 5 save slots on rotation, but I certainly have one to see the Master death animation issue, for example.

edit: I should add, I really enjoyed this playthrough. It's impressive how close to Fallout 1 it is. I really wish that, with all the correct / vanilla config options, it was a 1:1 content copy though. That's the strongest foundation upon which to add mods/tweaks whatever, while providing people who want it the best way to play vanilla Fallout 1. It's almost there now, if some of these bugs are addressed and the shady sands merchant is made optional.

 

Dunno anymore if it's vanilla or Team-B/Fixt, but that is there for quite some time. Basically the head explodes but the body stays active. And yes, that seems only to happen with criticals.

 

Thanks, that was fast! I can't quite read between the lines here- are you interested in fixing vanilla FO1 bugs? For the ones you didn't reply to (except the shady sands one)- are those known bugs or...?

Anyway, some more comments.

Want a save of me in the Skumm Pitt? You'll see the graphic imprinted in the map.

Seems like a good bug to fix then?

But not selling the sniper rifle is a new bug with the merchant re-stocking option?

Nope, I talked to the Loser, declined his offer, talked to Jacob who told me he'd pass my name to Vance, and then Vance kicks me out when I try to enter the building.

I'm not so sure, as the explosion sound plays and we know that trapped containers (Highwater's chest) do show an explosion graphic.

So, a bug? It doesn't make sense he would barter it.

Oh my melee skill was over 120, but the issue is two-fold: 1) the text that prints to the log is "you gain you gain", you gain is repeated twice. 2) if my skill is too high to be improved, the message that the skill is improved shouldn't print, right?

Is wooden door the right description? More so than being locked, those startrek-esq doors don't seem "Wooden".

That graphic triggering is damage dependent? I must have beaten Fallout 1 over 10 times, and it has played every single time.

Want the save? I think what is happening is that, due to better criticals, my critical hit should be an insta-death to him, which is what is triggering the death animation. But something is preventing him from dying, so he continues to fight. That or the bug is the reverse; for some reason (sfall management of crit tables?) the game thinks my crit is an insta-kill, triggering the graphic, when it really isn't. Either way almost every hit from the pistol does this, so it's very easy to reproduce in the save.

 

Awesome, thanks @Lexx

What's the best english language tool for editing and (re)compiling scripts right now?

 

Maybe the CoC use a percentage formula?

I am thinking it's a privacy thing. Since Agris complaint about this design feature, I want to feedback that it's normal for me. If Vault Dweller cant lockpick it, it mean I am a noob char and need to return for that once I am high level enough to invest lockpick

I also want to feedback about this feature: it's good. It raise the importance of Doctor's investment. You are screwed if you meet this event far from town.
If you fix this type of encounter, Doctor fell right back to the bottom of no use other than 60 point for Living Anatomy.

 

Tried to reinstall this, but having problems with undat.exe. The extraction goes up to file [73/8602] ART\CUTS\OVRINTO.MVE and then crashes. I don't think my MASTER.DAT is corrupt as I was able to extract the whole thing with F1DatExplorer0.3 without any problems.

Any idea what might be the problem here?

 

Where is your MASTER.DAT from... GOG, Steam? Also, what does crash mean, do you get an error message or does it just hang?

 

Thanks for the replies, I think Lexx is right, though. I tried a different MASTER.DAT I had on an old external drive and this one went through without problems. Seems like the one I tried before was indeed corrupted somehow.

 

Ok, thanks for checking! Bitflips do happen, even if it seems unlikely. Especially if the file was copied from one drive to another one. I might add some checksum checks in a future update to the tool to validate that the archive is indeed not corrupted. But then I'd need to gather the checksums for all available retail MASTER.DAT files...

 

Minor thing, but I got some death messages that don't make any sense in the context of Fallout 1, mentioning "The Village" or "The Garden of Eden". If it isn't much trouble, maybe those should be excluded from the rest.

I also wandered into a cave filled with ants the other day and noticed one ant crawling on the ceiling beyond the cave wall. Maybe a hole in the map or a buggy spawn point?

 

Creatures spawning on wall then disappear is an engine problem, I think. This issue persisted since the old 1.0 days and even now on RP~

 

Considering I have seen it happen with normal luck, and see no difference with Luck8/Luck2, I dont believe luck is involved.

 

Luck only affects the Player...its only for Critical Chance and Gambling.
