A test version is available while I work on the next official release:

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT install Restoration Mod or Update Mod on top of Fixt under any circumstances. Fixt already includes them. It will cause issues.

Fallout Fixt exists to enhance, expand and improve upon the Fallout 1 experience. This includes fixing bugs, restoring features, modifying balance, adding new features, and many fixes to text/dialog. In addition to that, all other available mods and patches are rolled into Fixt (see below). As of the most recent version, this mod fixes roughly 150 bugs still present in the unofficial patches, and adds roughly 170 features. In addition, there are hundreds if not thousands of text&dialog fixes.

Current Version: 0.81alpha (July 5, 2015)

VERIFYING THAT FIXT IS INSTALLED PROPERLY:
- Click "CREDITS" on main menu will begin with Fallout Fixt credits, and displays current version.
- Version is also displayed in text at bottom of main menu. (May be hard to see at higher resolutions)



Graphics are set to 800x600 @ 16bit with the included settings files, although you can change this of course, by editing f1_res.ini or running f1_res_Config.exe (should be self-explanatory once you open the files for editing)

Both.
I used the newest available as base for each file (scripts, dialog etc). I first extracted/installed patches 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, and 1.3.5 in that order. So if TeamX updated a file in 1.3.5, that's the version I started with, whereas if it hasn't been changed since 1.2 official patch that's the version I started with, and so on. I then copied over the rest of the files (scripts, dialogs, maps etc) from the main data file (master.dat) that hadn't been changed by previous patches/mods/updates.
From there it's just a matter of merging any additional patches, changes and fixes into the dialog and script files, and then doing my own fixes/changes/updates to everything.


These are all included with my mod; do NOT download or install them:

FULLY INTEGRATED PATCHES:
- Official Interplay patches (1.1, 1.2)
- TeamX patches (1.2, 1.21, 1.3.5)
- No Children Fix
- Cathedral Crash Fix (and other fixes by Sduibek for the Cathedral, Military Base and The Glow crashes)
- Nimrod's Dialog Fixes
- FreeSpace variable is set to 0 by default, so you won't have to worry about that crash either.

FULLY INTEGRATED MODS:
- Fallout 1 Restoration Mod, version 1.0b1 [Created by Wasteland Ghost. Portions by Mynah, hamster, Wasteland Hellbringer.]
--- Invasions are now entirely optional (including Necropolis), and invasion dates can be customized, anywhere from instant to 4x their default values.
--- Deathclaw status is no longer linked, i.e. killing it on the world map or in the cave does not prevent it from appearing at the other.
- Extended Flamer Attack Mod [Created by .Pixote.]
- Endgame Mod [Created by Corpse]
- TeamX NPCs 3.5
- Sfall ddraw 1.19 (Timeslip & sfall team, + many improvements by Crafty)
- hi-res patch [Created by Mash]

OPTIONAL MODS:
- Weapon Drop Mod [Created by Josan12 and MIB88]
--- Customizable distance values.
- "Nixie Numbers" for GUI

INCLUDED UTILITIES:
- Two tools that can be run before running FalloutW.exe (not made by me) are included in the [Fallout]\Scrambled Colors Fixes folder, to help with those experiencing color palette issues.

MISC:
- Fallout 1 official manual (PDF format, version you can get from GOG.com)


Just for the sake of reference, here's the stats your NPCs get on levelup (I haven't changed these from TeamX NPC Mod, these are the figures from TeamX/WastelandGhost):

Format is [increase at reaching level 2, increase at reaching level 3]

I'll see what I can do, I think Nullsoft's installer is free isn't it? I'll see if there's an "easy"(er) way to set it up like you say. I agree that that would be pretty awesome

Personally I enjoy playing it at 640x480 after trying other resolutions, but I'm probably in the minority on that

What is Cubik's map converter?

As far as which maps to use, for now just use the ones from TeamX 1.3.5 -- I haven't mad any map changes yet.

 

Cool, thanks. I didn't realize he'd actually made a tool to do that hex-editing fix for the ladder coordinates automatically

Now if I only I could get the BIS Mapper working on my system. Sigh. Someday i'll figure it out >_<

 

[moved]

 

Could you elaborate on this?

Thank you for the feedback

 

This specifically I have already done, sort of -- I have edited/updated/fixed/whatever several hundred scripts for this patch, probably more, and almost every single dialog file in the game.

Just extract and overwrite all files to get "the new stuff". I used the newest files as base (1.3.5 usually, some like you say though are from 1.2 as TeamX might not have modified them, etc etc) and so thus almost every file in my download is "new" or updated from the most recent versions available.

EDIT: As far as incorporating all available fixes, that is exactly what I intend to do. I intend to include fixes provided by TeamX, the Update Mod, and others, as well as my own fixes, the Dialog Fixes from Nimrod (there's like twice as many now, my own and his combined), and also my own fixes from The Ultimate Fallout Guide that haven't been addressed yet.

 

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I know i'm missing some of the files from 1.2/1.3.5/NPC in this file, I haven't had time lately to make sure it's got everything included

Not sure if Restoration Mod will work with this... might be a bit buggy but hey if it works, even better I was planning on probably including that stuff anyway, although for me personally i'd disable the Invasion stuff by default (with instructions on how to enable of course) since i'm not personally a fan of all the towns going poof. I like to take my time playing the game

 

Wow, I forgot to include ANY files from the Maps folder. That's really embarassing

I'll have an updated link within the hour.

 

Done. Total scripts updated by TeamX and/or myself: 520, dialog files changed/fixed: 383. Also included some art files and other misc files that I hadn't included before (argg)

Tungu, could you please try to purchase from Stapleton again and see if she has any books? Shouldn't need to start a new character, but exit to the worldmap first and then go back to see her, just in case.

EDIT: Updated again. Now two versions are available, only difference is whether NPC change their look when switching armors. (i.e. The alternate version of TeamX's NPC Mod)

EDIT2: Added "installation" instructions to OP above.
