Is there an inventory editor for fallout 1?

First time out of the vault
I've looked through this site's downloads and a couple of others and I can't find an inventory editor for fallout 1 only for fallout 2.

The one I did find, falled, only lets you change specific items to others. So there is an option to change a stimpack to combat armor and some other things.

What I'm trying to do is change 1 power armor into 3 power armors so I can equip my entire party with it. Is there a tool wich can do this? Or is there any other way, by editing the save game files for instance? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
 
I'm guessing you have a mod that lets NPCs wear armor, as this will be rather pointless otherwise. Changing the quantity of an item with a hex editor isn't too difficult; turning a bag into a weapon or adding a new item requires heavy wizardry. The Fallout 1 save.dat format is close enough to the Fallout 2 format for the documentation of it to be useful.

First, make sure you are not wearing the power armor, and save the game in a new slot, in case something goes wrong. Open the appropriate save.dat file in any hex editor. Search for the ASCII value 'FP' (no quotes); this will put you just before the items section. Now search for the hex value 23. This will be in the middle of a block of data that looks like this:
Code: 
00000001 00001221 FFFFFFFF 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 00000023 00000008 00000000
00000003 FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000
00000000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 00000000
00000000 00000000 00000000
The second value will probably be different, and the two after '23' might differ in a digit; that's okay. If you have hardened power armor, it will have 'E8' instead of '03'; changing '03' to 'E8' will make regular armor hardened.
The '1' at the beginning is the item quantity; change that to '3' and you will have 3 power armors.

Hopefully that makes sense and doesn't sound too intimidating.
