Hacking Fallout 1's Demo

Hmm why? It is just a demo. A good one, ok. But would it be worth the work?
Well, I even can not play the demo on my computer anymore. So why should somebody do this? :>
Wouldn't it be better to port the demo 1:1 as a mod for Fallout 2?

Because of Fallout 3, there will be a lot of new members. :>

The ability to save/load and create your own character without restrictions is important. its one of the big differences between the demo and the regular fallout 1.
if we can crack the exe enough to mimic F1 full features, we can supply the hacked .exe to others and they can get a taste of fallout.
I doubt that really impacts the ability to play around with the demo much. Why would you need to save/load in a 15-minute demo?
That is an option. Though I myself feel the demo already shows enough of what Fallout really is to entice the interest of anyone who likes games like Fallout.
So really: it sounds like too much effort for nothing.

Fallout 1 is hard to modify. Nearly nobody is doing it (excepted some crazy russians). The Fallout 1 demo is even harder to modify, so why should somebody take this up?

Isn't the demo already implemented in the megamod?
Althought I remember that just going there would bug your savegame...
Maybe you can find the solution for this?

Yes, it is included. Going there no longer corrupts your games as of version 2.33. However, there are still bugs with it.
But, overall, I don't think this idea of expanding the demo to be as large as a regular game is really worthwhile. It really would be better to simply add the demo location to Fallout 1 than build onto the demo.
I'm sure the "Using default character" message is in a msg or txt file, yes. Didn't you look there? Anyway, I can only agree with everyone else that this is a fruitless mission. The thing keeping the untold masses from enjoying the Fallout demo isn't the fact that you can only play as one character.
