Fallout 2 mod Fallout: Nevada (extended)

Sometimes, mods refuse to work from a subfolder, in this case, reinstall mod to main folder with the game (see screenshots).

Installation:
Answer:
The main path of the game and the mod should not be different. Example:
Correctly: X:\My Games\Fallout 2 & X:\My Games\Fallout 2\<Mod>
Wrong: X:\My Games\Fallout 2 & X:\Games\Fallout 2\<Mod>
Additionally: (try these options)
*. Change the installation path of the game: C:\Program Files\Fallout 2 to C:\Games\Fallout 2 or D:\Games\Fallout 2.
*. Install mod in the main game folder. Example: X:\Games\Fallout 2 & X:\Games\Fallout 2\<Mod>, and clickcheckbox "Root Directory Mode" on next page of the installer.
*. Also, you can try to replace sfall to alternative. In the mod folder, open the folder 'dont_use\sfall2_1.8.28_by_Crafty' and copy its contents to the mod folder(if other options don't help).

In the screenshots, replace 'Megamod' to 'Nevada'
1. Install Fallout 2, example C:\Games\Fallout 2
2. Install Nevada to C:\Games\Fallout 2\Nevada
3. Start Nevada from desktop icon.
or
1. Install Fallout 2, example C:\Games\Fallout 2
2. Install Nevada to C:\Games\Fallout 2
3. Chech "Root directory mode"
4. Start Nevada from desktop icon.

Launch:
Open mod folder and run hi-res_conf.exe - change Graphic mode: ddraw7 \ dx9 \ Basic.
Change resolution to a lower value (for test).
Hi I have GOG version Fallout2 with sfall 3.2. From downloads I have [con] F2 Nevada Mod(extended) HD[v2.3.3]. I get black screen after intro. Fallout 2 install shows as graphics mode 2 ? Hi res graphics mode: Direct3d9. Vertex shader hardware proc :true. Shader version 2.0 : true. at 60 hrtz 32bit. Ive tried different methods for install as recommended. Tried direct draw 7. I cannot get it to run. I tried for the mod even to run from sfall configs. Nothing.
 
2.0.3.3 :)
1. Open mod folder and run NevadaHD.exe.
2. Try changing graphic mode directx9 to ddraw7.
3. Check that the installation path is correct.
3.1. Variant 2 - X:\Games\Fallout_space_2, there shouldn't be a subfolder with the mod (which is added by default) and don't forget to check the box "root directory mode"
3.2. If everything is correct, open the folder with the game, look for Nevada.cfg and check:
music_path1=sound\music\
music_path2=data\sound\music\
critter_dat=critter.dat
master_dat=master.dat
If the lines contain ..\ or a mod in a subfolder, then you missed an action.
4. Still doesn't work? Ok - copy ddraw.ini\dll from dont_use\sFall2_1.8.28 to main folder (confirming the replacement).
5. Nope? Delete & reinstall Fallout 2 and Nevada (by default settings var.#1)
5.1. Exclude the mod and the game from your antivirus.

Ok, thanks for getting back to me. I did try direct draw7 and a few other methods. I will re read this tomorrow and try again.
 
Thank you, thank you 1024thank yous. I used the method into the main folder with root checked. I left the sfall config as it was. It is working. As a PS I think the advice/tip you gave me was putting a space between Fallout 2 and not \Fallout2\Nevada.........mod. So after backspacing the last part I then put in a space between Fallout and 2

Simply, specify the correct path to the game. If the game is initially installed x:\Fallout2, then the mod is installed...
Variant 1 x:\Fallout2\Nevada (no additional actions are required)
Variant 2 x:\Fallout2 (with enable "root directory" box, without additional folder)

Guys how to set sfall to make Motion Scanner required for highlighting? It highlights without it or not at all for me.
 
I have watched some let plays of this mod. Guy with the same armor (Scorpion Armor) takes about 20 damage from Assault rifle 5 hexes away.
In my game I take 70-80 damage even from 30 -35 hexes. In sfall configurator I have Fallout default formula checked. It's the Hawthorne base fight with Jay and three soldiers in combat armor. I play on rough difficulty and its driving me crazy. Clearly something is wrong.

How to edit items added in this mod? Proto Editor just edits base game items.

That option in Sfall Configurator doesn't work then. Thank you.
Set the parameters manually as indicated above (without configurator).

takes about 20 damage from
The ammo configuration can be written in a separate file. sfall-mods.ini
AmmoFile=AmmoNevada.ini (in the upcoming update, this is done by default)

Proto manager working fine
 
Game crashes constantly when fighting Ely the ghoul and when attacking Striker's base. Should I use latest sfall by Mr. Stalin?
 
You can update sfall-extended to current version 4.3.3.1, but you will have to configure it yourself. I'll wait for 4.3.4 or 4.3.5
 
When trying to persuade Mordino to give up his Hotel there is is just "error" in dialogue.

How to post screenshots?

Yeah I've got two..
#1 don't save the game on the stadium (stryker's teritory) map at all, there are ocasional glitches that can cause you to be stuck there and get CTD on attempting to leave the map.. and it's the only one without worldmap exit grid ( which fixes the glitch)..

#2 don't *ever* save during any fights or in combat mode.. ever.. not even the first turn.. as the game can glitch and your saves may become corrupted..

If You're hell bent on robbing stryker's men b4 doing last of thompson's quests i advise to use stealcheat.int ( a.k.a streamer friendly way to steal in this game)
