Fallout 2 mod Fallout: Yesterday

Question.

Can't interact with npcs in most of the few locations I've found so far, except Tibbett and Fort Abandon. Meaning Circle Junction, Mesa Verde, and Grand Canyon(?). The latter being described as "grand canyon chinatown" on worldmap, and "Tibbett error" in savegame screen. The stairs in church with the Followers robes laying around won't work and the map is completely devoid of any npcs.

Originally tried with the GOG version, then did delete/reinstall w/ both the main FO2 and the mod, based on the 1998 iso. Carried over the old savegame folder, but eventually said fuck it, and started the game over.

Both versions (mod not vanilla) gave an hardware vertex processing error and had the fallout32.exe hang on startup. Eventually got them working in 640x480 by tweaking the cfgs. GOG one had problems with map scrolling and parts of map getting blacked out.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong here, but can't figure out what exactly.

 

I think those locations aren't finished yet, you can find more content in the BoS south west of tibbets. To enter the bunker wear a suit of Power Armour or destroy the turret in the cave.

 

The way I see this whole drama with the video is how the mod was presented. If the released version was only the prison but as polished as possible to show what's the potential and direction of the mod it would have met much better reception.
In this case the mod is just all over the place, inconsistent artistic styles, non existing quests that have dialogs, the dialogs themselves need lot of work to make them consistent and make them shorter.
Not sure what the overall planning is but I suspect you don't want to end up like the Frontier that had too many "inspirations" from other games and the main story and worldbuilding was so bad that almost all praise was given to side quests and cars.
Also to keep in mind that given the scale of this mod it will be compared to the likes of Sonora, Nevada, Olympus etc. each one having pretty distinct visual, audio and worldbuilding style and they set a pretty high standard of quality, especially Sonora.

 

The Space Quest V test was golden. Had completely forgotten about It.

Why not FOnline Engine? Sorry, I'm not gonna go through 30 pages to look for a post clarifying it. Can we link to the reason from the main post?

It's just FOnline's engine is far more superior to whatever Ft2 uses. Maybe except the cinematics and animated heads, but really, I definitely don't mind sacrificing cinematics and heads for faaaaaar superior interface, zooming abilities, real-time combat options, toggling roofs/walls, hotkeying various actions, including aim... Map making, dialogue writing and it doesn't even cover half of the goodies we have in fonline.

I have experience making content and writing server-side scripts for Fonline and from there, it looks like making an incredible single-player experience would be pretty easy. While there is a chance that there are even better tools for ft2 engine, but I so very doubt it...

Taking Reloaded's s3 leaked engine for the base could be very good. I don't think Kilgore would mind it.

 

Does anyone have a download link for this ??

 

For what? —The logo above? That's all there is of it, just the image; the mod folded years ago AFAIK.
They asked me for a logo, and that's what I gave them.

ah, I see, you just didn't look well enough at the fonline engine. Well, that's a pity cuz it's incredible.

 

That's one of the things I didn't like while playing FOnline 2. Every combat scenario was Real-Time unless you got a good roll on the world map getting a random encounter. Where a message pops up asking if you want either

-Turn-Based
-Real-Time
-Random

That's the only time you can have Turn-Based combat. That's it!

 

Doesn't the FOnline engine require the use of servers?

 

RT is far superior to TB. It's not obvious, but you can see it when you do all in RT. It's just faster. Like, many times faster. Even though, if you're feeling too noobish, you can always do ~combatmode tb and everything will be tb for you. but again, why would you care if you can't find it out on your own?

There, take a look at bloodcat. He's showing there how to do a very simple dungeon, but nevertheless, it showcases what fonline is capable of:

Doing all this in tb would likely take like at least three times more time.

It does, but in the case of a single player, you can implicitly run it on the localhost. The player won't even notice that a local server is running.
