Some of the translation work in the Megamod is actually very charming in an unintentional way; for example I kept those two lines I mentioned about Bess. Although there are sometimes problems with the translations being so rough that I'm not really able to figure out what's being discussed (for example, much Collyweb), others make the game more interesting precisely because they are a bit rough (a lot of the stuff around Arroyo actually enhances the mood there). It's a mixed bag, but overall I think your translators did a pretty good job. Last time I played the Megamod I think the only characters whose dialogues I found incomprehensible enough to spend time rewriting were the midget and the guy with dysentery in Collyweb, as well as Emily and the AFR farmer guy in Klamath.
I'd say in regard to dialogue the thing I dislike the most and have changed the most for myself isn't cleaning up the translation work, it's the really heavy-handed/in-your-face misogyny from the New Vision mod. This may be good for a few laughs if you're playing as a male Chosen One, but it's too depressing to consider while trying to play a female Chosen One that my character is a silly little girl who giggles a lot and cries for men to help her all the time.
The nice thing about the Megamod, though, is that you just sort of put everything out there for people to do with as they please. Hopefully more people will begin to take you up on your frequent offers to improve things in the mod themselves if they think something could be better. A lot of Nirran's mods, for example, may seem like minor things but they really contribute a lot to the "daily grind" part of the game and things that the player does repetitively dozens or hundreds of time, resulting in a more entertaining experience overall.
Keep up the good work, guys.

ah, I've forgot about one major engine bug, will try to describe:
for example, I encountered some "caravan fending off some raiders". I didn't shoot on anybody. but if whomever from them miss their target and hit me, then they continue to fight against me and my lance-mates. what a hell?
and what about Klint and power armor?

yea that is an engine bug(prolly wont be able to do anything),with klint im not sure what to do,i assume you are refering to the carry weight problem
Nirran
Ugh, more Klint stuff. I'm not sure if the wrong proto is called for him in power armor or if the proto itself is messed up. I'll look at it.
As for the teams and how they attack each other, that is an engine thing. Sure, it is really irritating that if someone hits you or a party NPC by accident they will become your team's enemy. However, there is nothing I can do about that.
As for Max, remember, he escaped from the Vault with barely his life. He doesn't really have much to reward the player. However, unless something was deleted by accident in another release, he should give you a few herbs or mushrooms.
@Endocore: Regarding the way women are treated as a result of the addition of the New Vision mod, it really is a mixed bag. Overall, I like what TeamX did. Yes, there are some aspects that might make playing a female irritating or uncomfortable. Maybe that was the point. Have you seen A Boy and His Dog? Women were really viewed badly there (out in the Wastes, not the 'vault' so much).
But, yes, I'm always looking for ways to improve the mod. Colly was the location that was the hardest to get translated. Either people didn't want to translate it, or became incommunicado after Dude101 made the assignments. It was really rough. That is the perfect example of a situation where I went through the translations one time and thought: it gets the point across for now, so I'll come back to it... eventually.
And you are right: Nirran has done an awesome job and a lot of work in adding life to the MM, not just with his individual mods, but for the MM itself.

chased down and fixed the random encounter bugs with the car,evidentaly the car trunck script does not gets it map_exit_p_proc procedure fired on map exit,anyway it will be in the next version(should have fixed all of the car bugs dealing with random encounters)
will look at Klint(again *sigh*)
edit : to reproduce the klint bug,equip him with any power armor and change maps?tried with and without armor_graphic turned on,not able to reproduce it so far
Nirran

hi, long time lurker here 
got 2.42 run nice and smooth here, love it very much
some questions:
- i want to enable only one feature from your scaled difficulty mod, that is "Hard Setting Multiplier" (from damage.ini)... i want to scale it up to 150%, how to do that? can i just copy damage.ini file to fallout2 main directory and change HardSettingMultiplier=125 to 150? in general i only want to up the damage done from enemies to my party by 25% more
btw the mod i already installed from your site is: custom skill books, random loot, and replace ammo
- i want to use magnus weapon redone and/or glovz combat overhaul mod. is it compatible with megamod 2.42?
- when i apply the high resolution mod, the main game screen changed from the usual megamod (deserted building) to the "old" fallout 2 main screen (soldier face), and i cannot see the opening team x cutscene anymore, but the game remain as megamod version, only the main screen and cutscene is gone, is that ok? my installation procedure is
- install fallout 2
- delete patch000
- install high resolution mod
- install megamod 2.42 (from your site)
- update sfall to the latest
- click runme.bat
- click run first.bat
- tick read only fallout2/proto and fallout2/data/proto
- apply the high resolution mod to fallout2.exe
- install megaloot,mega books, and replace ammo mod from your site
- run fallout 2
thanks for your answer, btw this is my favorite fallout 2 mod, any info on the next release date? =)

oh yeah, another question
- what is the difference from your lootable armor mod and the lootable armor mod from 2.42? by the readme it says if the graphic they are using shows armor,they will drop the relevent armor... isnt the lootable armor from 2.42 also do that?

Nirran
download, tested and worked, thank u very much nirran!
btw when i set HardSettingMultiplier=150, is it also affect my party members too? means party members also deal 50% more damage than normal difficulty? well i hope not, but im just kinda curious
also, what other options i can edit in damage.ini if i copy only both hs_combatdamage and hs_tohit? is easy/normal/hardsetting multiplier the only option i can edit?
