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

I'm not sure if what I've recently found is a bug or just a requiremente I didn't know about, but I can't finish the quest of killing the mutants at the watershed. I already killed all of them and Set still doesn't ends the quest. I'm not sure if it is the normal behaviour (I killed the hostile ghouls and the gang, so maybe it's because of that) or a bug in the script. He doesn't turn hostile either, so I think it's not because of the killing. He just tell me "Still in my shadow? There is clearing to do" or something similar, which I think means he still wants me to kill that mutants. Am I missing something?

I thought I fixed this but then got it again myself in 4.1, so yeah. It may or may not happen, looks like you got it.

On the plus side, Set gives you shit for reward anyway, it's way better to kill them all for experience and loot. If you clear out that map it's something like 2650 exp. Another thing I'll be fixing on that map in Alpha 5 is now that I am skilled in map editing I can fix the guard to Set's "palace" so he's linked to the door (like Kane) instead of a stupid fucking timer.
 
Found another one, but I think it's more on the engine. After I read a holodisk (I think it's when I have more than a specific number, because I don't remember it happening before, just now that I'm almost finishing the game, but reproducible), when I close the pipboy interface, the inventory button becomes black and stops working. The only solution is to close the game (loading another savegame doesn't solve it) and open it again.
 
Well, I'm trying to get the Master to accept his failure, I get him to regret and set the countdown, but he keeps getting hostile, giving me no time to escape and starting combat mode instead. All of this, while the countdown is running. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's caused because I killed the mutants and children in the floor, but in any case it wouldn't make sense, if he is going to blow them up anyway. Is it a bug or the normal behaviour?

It really bothers me that I can't reproduce this. I've had something like a half dozen people report this bug, and I've never seen it in the entire time I've played Fallout, including my mod testing. Actually, I maybe saw it once, not sure, but I have no idea what causes this and there's no way for me to test :(

Maybe you can try the savegames?
If you want to, I can upload them and give you the link.

The savegame named "Mentats" takes you to the near end of the game, with Max Stone standing in front of the master. In that savegame I switched the difficulty to easy and I took 5 mentats, in a desperate (but succesful) attempt to get the diplomatic end. In fact, I could make it in normal difficulty, but it takes a lot of attempts and, being level 14, it took a lot of today just getting there while I've got followers. Jeremiah didn't took that well :P

I think any of them can help you to check the other bug, but I'm completely sure just in the ones named "cathedral", "mentats", "military base 3" and "deadmeat". There I saw the effect of the bug.

EDIT: I managed to finish the game by lockpicking the doors to the nuke, I thought they weren't pickable. Then, I found a few other bugs with the ending. First, I got the wrong ending for the Master and the Unity. I blew up the vats first, but I've got the ending telling killing the Master was the first step, etc.. Then, I've got no sound in that part after it says the quote I copied here, and in the last, the ending for the Vault Dweller, has no sound at all. The other screens seems to be correct, except the one for the Followers. I checked they were still alive, but I have the ending with the mutant invasion. But maybe it's supposed to be that way, I didn't check the time. I think it might have to do with the setting, I played with the invasion on but 4X the time, so maybe the script just checks for the original time for the ending even if I can't see the invasion because of the change in game. The other bug is when I choose to end the game (I didn't try the option to continue, because I didn't let unfinished quest and the only attractive the is mass murdering, which I can do in my Fallout 2 savegame :P), there is corruption in the last video in the parts where the chat interface was before. And that's it, everything else works fine.
I'm updating the savegames to add the one where I'm standing in front of the nuke, so you can check if it's dependant on that. It's the last slot.
 
Well, tried the option to continue playing, it's bugged too. I can't interact, the Overseer never gets inside (but the Vault's door opens and closes) neither I shot him, the characters keep idle and I can't get to any other interface nor control the player. That means, I can only move the map, but no loading, no inventory, etc.
I got the following messages:

Is there any way I can give you a proper debug log?
And something for the memory leaks? I don't know what alternative to Valgrind is used on Windows.
 
Here, I got the log:

Sounds like it's not calling game_ui_enable properly... I forgot that I was still tweaking that ending part. I thought it was working, but eh. You're in luck -- school's been cancelled so I can take a look today and see about what's causing these. Also please do me a favor and send me all of your f1res and ddraw files that exist from below:

The "too many holodisk entries causes black/broken skilldex button" bug is an old engine problem we don't hear much about anymore because it's been fixed in sfall for Fallout 2 for some time now; yet with interest reviving in Fallout due to Sduibek's mod this will likely become a commonly reported issue. As far as I know, sfall's method is the only fix. For a player whose game is stuck as a result, the only option is to reload prior to reading the (twelfth or thirteenth, I can't remember) holodisk that results in too many entries and thereafter not read any more holodisks. If one really can't remember the contents because one hasn't played in some time, one can open the holodisk text file outside the game for study. Skilldex skills may still be used accessing them via one's keyboard rather than clicking on the on-screen skilldex button.

Actually, my case isn't that way. I can save, exit, and start the program again and play with the savegame in which I already read it. And just saving and loading doesn't work, even if I start a previous savegame in which I haven't that much holodisks.
 


Sorry, I may have misunderstood; perhaps we're talking about separate issues. The too many holodisk entries problem doesn't typically cause any trouble either with saving or loading, but merely results in ui buttons not working. When the inventory button is blacked out, can you still access your inventory with the keyboard rather than clicking on the screen?

Yes. But there is still the difference with what you described. The problem can't be solved even starting a new game from the begining. You must close the game and restart the program, then, no matter which savegame you load, it works normally again. But it will not work if you don't close the whole program first.
 
Oh wow I completely forgot about the Pipboy bug. I was thinking about that while modding a few months ago.... Isn't the simplest workaround to just remove one or two of them from the game? There has to be a way to streamline or move (i.e. to a computer terminal or something) some of the shorter ones. The TOTAL number of disks in the game is only something like 15 if I remember correctly, so this is a fairly simple task. I will look into it for Alpha 5.

EDIT: Because hence the name, this mod is designed primarily to "fix what was wrong with Fallout 1" - obviously crashes and GUI failures are at the top of that list.

I was sure I intalled that version. Well, I tried it and still the same errors.

EDIT: I didn't overwrite the f1_res.ini, might that be?

Probably not, but trying doesn't hurt. If you want to save the settings or whatever, move it to another folder instead of deleting it.
