Item Editors

[Guest]

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Jul-13-02 AT 11:54PM (GMT)[p]Okay, sorry if this issue has already been discussed somewhere else. Here is the problem I have FIME(Fallout Item Mode Editor) and FIC(Fallout Item Changer). In Fallout2, I decide to change sawed of shotgun into a super combat shotgun or whatever. I change every thing to my desire then save it and make it read only, then I send it to Fallout2/data/proto/items. Then the description of the item I edited changed back into the original description in the game only. So if i quit fallout then start my editor the description is back to what I changed it to. Is there a way I'm doing this wrong or is there something I don't know.

Yeah, you need to change the pro_items.msg file found in dialog/english/data (I think). Anyway, you need to put that file in the proper place (use datman light to find the proper place).

Making it read only is a good thing - keeps it alive (otherwise fo2 would obliterate it).

pro_item.msg goes in the fallout2/data/text/english/game (or was is main?) directory. There's only 3 directories in there so look around for the old one and simply replace it.

Did you know that in the data/data directory there's a .txt file called "maps.txt". You can use that to change the music in the game - I took some old music files from fallout1 (like for the glow, brotherhood, and "maybe" from the title) and made it to work. Changed music in some other places like the klamath rat caves that needed a different musical "fit" to them.
