mvBarracuda speaketh:<blockquote>You surely waited a long time for it but now it is here: The first official FIFE release!

For the ones that have never heard about FIFE: this project is an open source engine that tries to replace the old Fallout 2 by creating the abilitiy to run Fallout-like games under all major platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac) and having superior modding support.

You can download the FIFE 2006.0 pre-alpha for Windows here from Sourceforge.

This release is a pre-alpha version of the prototype! If you find bugs, have problems with the installation or just want to contact the team because you got questions about the release: use the forums or join our irc channel

Just download the selfextracting archive and install (extract) FIFE to a directory of your choice. Read the included "readme.txt" and enjoy this first FIFE release :-)

Important: several people encountered problems with this FIFE release. But it's not our fault :-p We just recognized that all these problems are related to localized Fallout versions. So if you're running Fallout as UK or GER version: go to our download section and get the critters patch to get FIFE working for you.

We don't know if there are problems with Russian versions of Fallout but if there are any: let us know in the forums and we might be able to create a patch for it :-)

The team wishes you a happy a new year and stay tuned for more (feature-rich) releases in 2006!</blockquote>Links:

This is by far the most promising post apocalyptic project around. Can't wait for the day I can play fallout1/2 in 1600*1200 resolution with alpha blending and dynamic lights ;)

*respect*
 
Thx Phil :-)

Still a veeeery long way to go but this first releases proves that there is a small light @ the end of the tunnel.

Stay tuned for more releases in the next months; quite some big team & code changes are happening ATM.
 
Hmm.. I'm using the UK version and didn't have any problems with FIFE.

I've already commented about this at FMF, this could be a great engine, I am impressed. At this stage I have no specific comments, there is a lot to be done, but you've done a very good job so far.
 
Already posted @ the modding section but if anybody cares:
