Having issues with FIME...

First time out of the vault
This is my first time trying to use FIME. I can't seem to get any of the items I edited to work in the game. As a test, I edited the normal spear to have different damage rating and description. I tried starting a new game and opening a saved game, nothing worked. When I run FIME, the spear still shows my edits.

Where do I place all the PRO files? I tried placing the PRO files in the Fallout2\data\proto\items folder and Fallout2\data\SAVEGAME\SLOT01\proto\items. What about the MSG file?

It sounded easy enough when I read the Read Me. Is there a something I overlooked? I really want to edit the game, seeing as I've played it a few million times. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
 
First of all, yep Fallout2\data\proto\items is the right directory to place the .pro files. Second make them read-only or fallout will delete the items when you quit. I don't really know why it won't work for you. :o

Have you tried to a make a dat file out of? And then run with modrunner or FaME ? Maybe that will work better. :D
 
If youve made new items then You will also have to add the item name to the list (items.lst) and put that in(Fallout2\data\proto\items) too and add the item in a map with a mapper.
 
Thank you!

Okay, so after modifying the provided PRO files, make them read-only and place them in the "Fallout2\data\proto\items" folder. Sounds easy.

If I make a totally new item, I also need to add it to the LST file and place it in the same directory. To put the new item in the game, I need a mapper utility to place it on the ground or shelf. Got it.

In either case, I need to start a new game to see the additions.

What the hell is the MSG file for??? :? Is it the same as the LST?
 
Contains text. In your case it'll probably simply contain the descrition and name of the item. If it is, it's probably pro_item.msg which you should put in data/text/english/game
