Fallout 2 mod Fallout Sonora 1.14 and Sonora Dayglow 1.14 Vanilla Translation

[NovaRain]

how in the world did you get those changes? just a byte compare of the two binaries?

For strings, it's just from a simple hex comparison of the two binaries. For code changes, I use Microsoft's dumpbin.exe to dump both into disassembly text file, then check diff results and their addresses in IDA Pro database to find out what those changes are. Other than sound decoding hacks, there's one change in movie playback function that I have absolutely no idea why it's done.

Dude there's no need to add foxx's installer to av exceptions, at least i never did..
However in the past sfall5 did trigger av, it stopped beong the case a while ago, smart screen filter may be asked to "install anyways"
And in the past i had to set the default language for non unicode support programs to russian in windows to get the foxx installer runnin but it also is no longer the case, the only thing that ocasionally trips my av is stalin's sfall configuration tool, but i always delete that anyways, as i configure ddraw.ini by hand

Oh I'm not complaining about the installer, its the fact that his instructions include adding an exception to your antivirus for something that's flagging as a virus. It may be a false flag, but I don't agree with the solution.
And I'm pretty sure MrStalin knows how to write a program so it doesn't get flagged by antivirus, to the point that Foxx shouldn't have to ask people to add antivirus exceptions.

I'm sticking with regular sfall, especially since the mod doesn't install with its own version of sfall.
Foxx could provide both sfall versions in the installer if he wanted, as well as giving you the option of using un-modded fallout2.exe/fallout2HR.exe, given what NovaRain has said.

Totally agree that all mods should come with optional sfall branch..

Though as a general rule of thumb
Western mods come with vanilla sfall,
russian mods come with stalin's sfalls
It was always like this..

Foxx is asking ppl to add av exceptions just in case, as he does that on a russian torrent forum, and not some official internet store, so take that with a grain of salt

As i said currently no av exception needs to be made, nor setting russian as default non unicode support language is needed
