Hello NMA. I would like to present you my recently started project - Fallout 2 Modding Guide. My goal is to gather every knowledge ever released about Fallout 2 modding at one place. The guide is still a draft and far away from being complete. I think it will always be work in progress because there is always something to change, add or cleanse. If you have any suggestion, question, find an error or want to chat about it, just post it here. Thank you for the attention.
Absolutely amazing work! Been looking to get into the modding community myself. Have a bit of a background in scripting already, just figured there were additional tools to help unpack the .dat's and get started. Awesome guide!
Thank you very much. I'm glad that you like it. It's work in progress and alot is still missing. Stay tuned
@Claz; @Randam Hajile A big thank you. I'm very happy you like it @admins Thank you very much for pinning this thread. It's a honor.
@Femic If I end up publishing my lip sync tool and the other various support scripts I have then I'd love to have a section on lip sync / talking heads added to the how to. I know you already have the section on creating artwork, to my knowledge automated generation of .LIP's is new and I'm the first to do it. Here's an example:
@Black_Electric I'd be glad to add your lip synch tool, scripts and how-to to the guide. Edit: A user named soda_fr sent me a lip synch how-to. Maybe we can merge the knowledge.
@Femic this tute might be of use to your guide - https://falloutmods.fandom.com/wiki/Building_and_cutting_new_tiles_for_Fallout_1_and_2
This isn't the finished product but here is a demo of the lip sync process that I have put together. None of the scripts are available yet so not worth putting in the modding guide but just wanted to show case a bit what the process currently looks like. Eventually I will have a user-friendly interface put together that I can write a tutorial on.
