Firstly, yes I understand that my infamy on this forum doesn't help make any sort of case that I might be serious about things as specific as SFALL.
However, as I indicated in my last post, before it was magically vatted, i just took x3 my ADHD medicine.
So let's begin. I am Prosper, and I was also known as NillaCakester on the Bethesda Gamestudio forums.
Yes I dabbled in that abomination known as Fallout 3 but typically for a good cause. At one time I had a multiplayer synch working , although i only got the capacity up to 3 and a working chatbox, before people started being glitched in their movement and such, though that wasn't the reason why I gave up. What happened is I finally realized how pointless it is after several attempts to gather interest in such a project, and because of the time Dude101 pointed out that I should just return to Fallout General Modding.
Quickly before I list the rest of what I have to offer, I will also comment on the fact that at one point or possibly even now SFALL ships with some sort of primitive multiplayer client. I believe I heard later on from Timeslip that development on that end, has stopped. Knowing that, I am curious as to WHY, and under what circumstances would it be appropriate for me to kick-start work on that muliplayer client again.
Ok so, other than multiplayer, I have some basic skills in coding, C++ mostly, but I don't have any sort of proper training. The good news is, most or all of the interesting things I have done for games is because I have huge sums of time on my hands. College is close, but i doubt i will be as busy as Timeslip. Ok so with my knowledge, i have also played with most of D3D9s functions (Direct 3D 9). Probably the #1 reason I have worked with any Graphics related APIs is because the games I inject my code into are not open source, and without an SDK, i have to find ways of displaying new graphical content, whether it be text for debugging purpose, or actual textures drawn ontop of the game. I have gone as far as to draw real video (like .avi files) ontop of 3d game objects.
So yeah I will stop there and just link to some videos of work I did on Fallout 3, because it mostly occupied my time. But I plan to do equivalent awesome things for Fallout 2.

Ok so Fallout 3 is the past.
Fallout 2, and 1 HOWEVER are not shitty singleplayer games.
So for my endeavors, i think i will focus on adding new script functions to SFall, or just like the topic says, Game Engine tweaks.
I tried to look through the topic, but i must be overlooking where SFALL's manual can be found. I would like a manual to familiarize myself with the program in general, the total list of new script functions, and any etiquette I should follow while designing addons.
I promise one last thing, do any of you have a summary of what tools the Reverse Engineers of the community are using, and which ones you feel are inadequate for hacking Fallout 2?
(And I'm not thinking about agility stat here). I'd say even Vic would surpass him on that matter given enough training.
