Fallout 1 mod Fallout Fixt - next release will be some time in Jan 2020

Maybe the OP could use some form of edit that redirect it to Et Tu.
Sure people are free to play fixt, but I still feel many see fixt as the "ultimate" patch which isn't really the case anymore.

 

Wheres Neil and Amber supposed to be? I coulda swore I read that this mod adds them back in?

 

No it doesn't. it was only a wrork in progress, and it was abandoned quite some time ago.
I assume You speak about the follower spy quest. There's only the main spy woman enabled from the quest. You can't figure out that it is her that does spy for Children of Cathedral, you can only kill her, which crosses out the quest as complete.

in Fo:Et Tu this quest was scrapped due to poor writing. Guess Lexx wasn't in a mood to retool this to an ok-ish state.

 

Not sure if Fixt did it different at some point, but the dialog I saw had her openly sell secrets of the FoA when asked. She flat out sells information to anyone who asks her and that's what makes her so badly written in my eyes.

The original quest idea had you talk to a bunch of FoA people - head of the guards, head of the scouts, etc. and then you would be able to accuse someone to be the spy. Some of that dialog is still in the game, but it's of the same quality as the writing for Heather. 5 or 6 lines of dialog and then everyone openly tells you what you need to know.
To "fix" / finish this quest, it would be necessary to add a lot more writing to it. The dialogues require more depth, and in best case even some sort of dialog puzzel. But even then it probably would still feel kinda lame. So I can understand why it wasn't finished.

 

I actually did find out the spy was Heather, and I made her attack me by calling her out on trying to trick me.

 

June 2021
Hello all,

i have decided to give fallout 1 another run after 2 1/2 decades. Very glad there is something like FalloutFixt, i intend to install "Fixes Only". i have installed the vanilla core fallout 1 from the Interplay Fallout Trilogy (although after installation i think that is 1.2 not 1.1), and the .exe inside the fallout folder is "falloutw.exe" i do not see any default "fallout.exe". Nukapedia wiki says core fallout without mods should be officially patched to 1.1 only, so i am confused.

Anyway, I have searched and found that 0.81alpha is ready, but through google i learnt that the developer decided release an update in 2020, so i was wondering if there is any newer version.

it would be appreciated if someone could tell me :-

1. which vanilla core fallout 1 i should install,
2. what is the latest falloutfixt i should download (if 0.81a is not newest)
3. will hi-res patch be included with the falloutfixt, and
4. is there any way i can force fallout 1 to 16:9 ratio (if possible to 1920 x 1080 res, but half of that is good too, priority for me is 16:9 ratio).

Thank you very much. Would be good if u direct help corresponding to items 1-4 above, as i get easily confused.

thanks in advance.

 

Hi. If you'll release a next version, could you try to see how to get it to work with the DOS executable? I know it won't work with Sfall and High Resolution pack, but I mean without those. With the latest official version, I can get it to show the character and move it around.

And that's with removing OBJ_DUDE.INT, because with that file, right after I see the character, it will go straight to the main menu, fading out white. Without that file, it kind of works. Though, when I leave the cave, it says I've lost because the vault is dead. That's when I noticed the dead rats on the cave shouldn't be dead - which happens with or without the file.

Would it be possible to fix this? Hopefully it doesn't need Windows to work and is just some minor bug. Thank you in any case for the mod!

EDIT: Seems the dead rats problem is fixed by removing the file WANRATS.INT (no idea if this fixes the vault dead thing, but I won't try unless you ask because I'm removing files... Not a good idea to keep playing without them, after I was told OBJ_DUDE is important). Hopefully this helps enough if you get to try to fix this. Though, I can provide any other info that would be needed. I can also send a debug file made with the DOS debug version of the EXE if needed.

UPDATE: If you get to fix it, know that your version 6.7.2 alpha doesn't do this (got it from here: https://www.mediafire.com/?b88tc6m9h7m26 - thank TONS to the archive owner... Or I wouldn't be playing with Fixt now). Seems to work normally on those 2 things. Hopefully it works normally on the rest, because I'll play with it, both on my PC and tablet. At least until this gets fixed - if it does, that is. Anyways, only from 7.0 alpha onwards the 2 bugs happen. So again, thank you!! Will play with Fixt now!!!

----- Separate requests -----

EDIT 2: Just one last thing. I think the HMI files that come with your mod (at least the newest version - I've been replacing them always, so didn't check) don't work at least with me on DOSBox 0.74-3. So I've been using the 2 I've attached, in case you'd like to use them on the mod or analyze them or something.

EDIT 3: And still another thing xD. No idea if you can make it happen, but could you try having the enemy highlight correspond to the FOW setting? Not that cool to have it highlighting all enemies even with that enabled. If you can, of course.

---------------

EDIT 4: I've changed the HMI files. These 2 fix the Sound Blaster 16 problem. I was trying to understand inside the game with a disassembler why this was happening. I noticed it was happening while trying to read the HMIDRV.386 file. So I went looking for other files and these are working perfectly.

 

Hi, I often get a crash during world travel when encountering a special encounter, meaning I see the red maltese cross icon just before the crash.
The error message is:
The instruction at ### referenced memory at ###
The memory could not be read from

I managed to get a couple of special encounters without the crash so I suspect the crash happens for a specific encounter.
I never got the alien ship, luck=8, so it might be it.

Tried reinstalling the game and fixt.
Any advise?

 

Is his now officially dead?

 

Seems so. So many keep saying that "et tu" aka "Fallout 1 in Fallout 2" is better in many ways.

 

"Soon".

 

and which is the truth

 

just wanted to pop in and ask: can you get together with Tandi as a female character?

 

Hi, I am currently trying to install fixt, but when ever i try to and installation almost finishes I get 3 different "Unable to execute file" errors saying "create process failed: code 5 access denied" along with other 3 different paths like "(pc)fallout\fallout fixt\crashFix\DXSETUP.exe" or "(pc)fallout\fallout fixt\crashFix\vcr_2008_x64" and afterwards everything seems like it got installed fine but when i try to run fallout fixt or any program inside the "(pc)fallout" folder it says "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".


Idk how to solve this I tried going administrator and running it but no success. If anything fallout folder is under "program files\ModifiableWindowsApps" i downloaded it through xbox game pass pc so idk if this mod works for this or if i have to get the game from steam instead to be able to play it. And i cant seem to be able to chaange the install destination for fallout, it always goes under "program files". Any help would be appreciated

 

Hello greenhorn..

#1 Don't ever install *any* of the classic fallout mods anywhere inside Program Files/Program Files (x86) on your system drive! those folders are protected in newer windowses ( from win Vista upwards). Fallout won't install in those folders correctly or won't run at all ( despite it says initially it wants to instal there...) just change the instalation path to something else..

#2 You greenhorns outside of NMA are probably unaware but Fallout FIXT is *obsolete* by now.. The project that is ongoing, and good to go in this matter, is now based on Fallout2 engine, and is called: Fallout: Et Tu. As in Fallout1 in Fallout2 engine. Some crafting is required to play, but it's nothing You can't handle.. mainly as a means of preventing unauthorised use by pirates (intelectuall property owners probably require this). Everything You need is in Fallout: Et Tu thread in modding (this) section of the forum.

 

I don't think one can change the install path for any MS Store/X-Box Live programs (stupid M$), so you will need a "normal" Fallout PC version...

 

What if you copy&paste the files to somewhere else? Did they add DRM to it?

 

Oh crap I didn't read fully his post.. That dude is trying to create Fallout: pos out out of FIXT, by enabling it on console.. PPL don't let Him do it.. I'm all for banning classic Fallouts from console. at least from preventing typical console-pesant mindset folks to downvote the game(s) to oblivion

/PC-master-race rant...

 

I didn't read about Fallout et tu as a better option than Fixt, so I wind up installing this, even I informed a little bit before installing any mod. It works good for now, but I'll let you know if I have a big problem. I just installed the Purist installation, because I remember a few things about this game, I only completed it once.

Nevertheless, I have two questions/problems about it:
1. Sfall is working very neat, except that speed modifier keys aren't working (i.e ctr+1 to 6). I've tried to edit the ini but I couldn't find a solution. Though the speed base modifier works, It's set up by default at 110 and you can modify at your will.

2. When I finish the game I want to play with the full installation to see the restored content, should I make a clean installation in order to do it or just install it?

3. Did the autor say anything about the alledged realease on Jan 2020? it has passed a year and the mod It's still on the 2015 version.

Thank you

 

Anyone has Error1 and Error2 on the Fixt 0.9 (fallout v1.0 testing playable)?
