Hi-Res Patches for Fallout1&2 & the BIS Mapper

Thanks for the patch, it works great, but the links in the OP are broken only the ones in your sig work.
 
Fallout High Resolution Patch 4.0.2 Problem (and colour fix)

Hello forum!
I was trying to install the Fallout Hi-Res Patch 4.0.2 version and I got to the stage where I'm just supposed to run the "f1_res_config.exe", choose my preferred resolution, click enable and then voila! But when I try to click enable nothing happens.

Am I supposed to have some certain setting on? (Basic, Direct Draw, Direct X9. 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit. Windowed and Scaling X2. Refresh rate.)

I use a Latitude laptop with Windows 7 (32-bit). And if it matters; 3.00 GB Ram, 1.40 GHz Processor. (Don't know what graphics card, basic Latitude graphics card I'd guess)
 
Sorry guys, with moving house and my computer troubles I havn't had the chance to log in here much lately.

@gvx: Glad to hear your multi language mod is working well. :)

Links in the first post have now been updated. I also renamed the topic to cater for all my hi-res patches.

@FitzyCyborgTurtle: Do you have Fallout installed under "Program Files"? If so, you should consider reinstalling in another folder (e.g. C:\Games\) as Win7 restricts what you can do under "Program Files".
 
Hey you changed the thread title to be accurate. Only took two years. ;) :)

EDIT: Oops, four years. :lol:
 
Hi-Res patch won't enable?

I have Fallout v1.2 from GOG.com, and when I click "enable ..." on the config menu it never actually activates. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I activated the .exe in x86 prog files > gog.com > Fallout.

I mostly just want the windowed mode, as my graphics card and monitor refuse to display proper aspect ratios.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Just saw that someone else posted the same issue, I'll give that Games folder reinstall a try.
EDIT 2: THE REVENGE: I realized all I had to do was right click and run the config as Administrator.
EDIT 3: THE RETURN: I also have to run the game as Administrator or I can't save the game! Just a heads up for the other guy that had the same problems.
 
Hi
first of all i would like to thank MASH and others involved for creating this great mod!
ATM i use it together with the Restoration Project mod which is also very nice.

Now my question is, is it possible so verify if the HI-Res patch has been installed correctly? I downloaded the Restoration Project mod 2.1.2b, installed it and then over-installed the HI-Res patch 4.0.1.

If I´m in the primitive tribe sector however, there are black tiles at the edges of the sector, on which I can walk "outside" of the screen.
Also, in some random encounters, like the caravan raid, I can only see like one third of the sector.
The events outside of the screen still take place in combat mode (raiders and guards shooting each other), but I cannot scroll down to see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
I´m currently running FO2 at 800x600 and the OS is Win XP.
 
Not sure if it's my ineptness or just a bug. I have my game windowed and scaled x2 on a 1920x1080 resolution (or 1600), whenever I'm on the world map, the cursor bounds and the map itself seems to be unaligned. It seems that the viewing window is actually bigger than the cursor bounds.

Anyway to fix that? I can probably get in there myself and fix it, but not sure where to start.

Edit: So I tested it out some more by switching to nonscaled mode, and apparently, when scaled the windows doubles it's size but the actual "world" map doesn't.
 
Here's a quick script for testing purposes. Hit ctrl to run the interplay logo movie. On a local map it runs fine. On the world map it works without the high res patch installed, but fails with it, regardless of the set resolution or rendering mode.

Code: 
variable down;

procedure start begin
	if (game_loaded) then begin
		set_global_script_repeat(1);
		set_global_script_type(3);
		down:=0;
		return;
	end

	if(key_pressed(29)) then begin
		if(not down) then begin
			down:=1;
			play_gmovie(0);
		end
	end else begin
		down:=0;
	end
end
 
Hi there!

I have a small problem or question...
Please take a look at this picture to understand what I am talking about.

http://fuskbugg.se/file/OUSKY1/messagebox.png

The message box in the game (the thing circled with red in the picture) feels a bit more narrow than the one in Fallout 1 which I just played through.
Is there perhaps any way to make the message box wider than it is?
I figured this would be the correct place to post this as I believe this might have something to do with the resolution patch, yes?

Thanks in advance.
 
@ Rashi

In f2res.ini you will find what you are looking for.

Code: 
;This will increase the width of the interface bar expanding the area used to display text.
;if IFACE_BAR_WIDTH=640 - Interface bar will remain at it's original width.
IFACE_BAR_WIDTH=800
Just up that value until you are happy with it.

Or wait, if you using the resolution patch that came with the RP, I don't think that part was included (too early build). You will have to update it first.

Thanks a lot mate! I mixed around with it a little bit and decided that
Code: 
IFACE_BAR_WIDTH=750
was perfect!

Thanks again! :)
 
I had a report from a couple users that they cannot Alt-Tab out of (or back into) Fallout. Mash have you seen this or have any idea what may be causing it?
 
Any news on the latest mapper patch - 8-) Remember my little requesty - to make the edge margins (hexes) smaller, so we have a little more control when we do the map edges. :wink:
 
Hi,

We're doing the translation into Spanish of F2 from the 1.02UK original release. Here in Spain never was translated (Fallout 1 was).

We are using Fallout 2 High Resolution Patch v4.0.2 win Windows system.

I would like to know if there is somehow to explicit tell Fallout 2 to USE de IFACE_BAR original (this .FRM is a bit changed from the original), or in our case, the modded one (in DATA\ART directory) and not to get the one that comes with Fallout 2 High Res 4.0.2.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
David.
 
Mash did you ever have time to take a look at why settings were being reset back to default? I had that several times with f1_res v4.x.x, where it would clear all my customized settings in f1_res.ini. I don't think the program should change settings unless and only if explicitly selected by the user.
 
I'd like to echo the thanks to MASH for this mod. I've just gone through a new install of the Restoration Project Mod (v2.1.2b), the Hi-Res mod v4.0.2, and have experienced the same issue with the black bars on the sides of the screen.

The black bars on the edge of the screen were cured for me by copying the Restoration Project (RP) Map directory that comes inside the Hi-Res mod zip file into the Fallout 2 data directory. The RP mod map directory sits within an Extras folder within the Hi-Res mod zip file. It is important to copy the additional files into the map directory, not delete those that are already there. Seems to work ok. Check for the rock outside the temple at the start to ensure that the RP mod is working.

Hope this helps.

I have the hi-res mod installed, but every time I try to enable it nothing happens. It says it's disabled, has anybody encountered this issue before?

Right click and run the config as Administrator. If that don't work check that Fallout2.exe isn't write protected.
