Fallout 2 mod How to open and edit .FRM files?

[Zapic]

Hi, I'm in a translation project for a Fallout 2 mod, I need to know how to edit the .FRM files that are in the "Intrface" folder.

The tutorials I've seen don't explain very well, or just don't work for me.
It would be great if someone who has done this before could explain me step by step how to do it, I would be very grateful.

Sorry if I speak strange, I don't know how to write in English very well.

Hi bud,

the best program to open FRM files is Frame Animator, here's a link:

After you install it, open the FRM you want to change and export it, then edit it with the software of your choice and make sure you save it as an 8 Bit BMP. After that import it into the Frame Animator program and save it as the FRM you want to replace.

Hello, I can't find the "Export to BMP" button, is it in a specific part?

Hi Zapic,
Sorry for the late reply! In the program there is an "automate" option, there you can select the FRM you want to export into a BMP.
Also was meaning to ask, are you going to be using Photoshop to edit these pictures?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

Now I can convert them into .BMP files, the problem is that the PC I currently have is a piece of junk, and Photoshop was going badly on a previous one I had, so I'm using a drawing program called "Paint Tool Sai", it accepts .BMP files so I think there will be no problems.

Hey, one question, are you Russian? I'm trying to contact the developers of Fallout Sonora.

Ok thats a cool program, one thing you need to remember though is that you need to make sure it using the "Default.act" colour palette that you can find in the Frame Animator folder. I'm not sure Paint Tool does that but other free programs like Gimp and Paint.net have that option.

No I'm not sorry! Hopefully you can find somebody
