Fallout 2 mod Megamod version 2.46 Bug Reports and Suggestions - Closed

No fruit flies?! Um... ok. I will check that out. As for the spore plants, I updated the map by adding an additional spore plant which would allow you to complete the quest. That latest map was included in the 2.45 release. Please check your data/maps folder and tell me the date of your epax.map file.

Edit: Don't bother checking the date on that map. Looked a little closer. First off, there should be some fruit flies inside the large room to the north of where the holograms are. Are you saying they are not there? Second, I found the problem with the spore plants. I added spore plantS... not just the one that was missing. And, the hologram's script checks for a specific number. So, until the next release, the trick is to try not to kill all of them. Leave 2 alive. The hologram checks for exactly 20 to be killed for now. This will be corrected in the next release.

 

You still have the weather mod installed. Delete weather.ini from the main Fallout 2 folder and gltsrain.int from the data/scripts folder.

@Vrede: I will take a look at Dobbs. Also, I have looked at the fruit flies. The had the wrong script attached to them. Fixed for the next release.

 

Yeah, once the damage is done, it is done. That's the reason the weather mod will no longer be a part of the MM.

You would have to delete the file hs_ondeath.int in the data\scripts folder. However, Doing that would also disable the Lootable Armor mod.

I don't use the hi-res mod and have no idea about what this error is about.

I will look at Vault 14 and the mayor. As for Dobbs, this is the same issue you will have with every NPC if their first level is inside the data folder instead of master.dat. The full repack will address/correct this issue as it will have a program and to add files to the master.dat file.

 

Ok, found the problem. The leader of the trappers is checking a for a certain map variable as well as the proper number of golden gecko hides. (The check is there to ensure that the player has actually killed the geckos in the cave and not just brought gecko pelts from a merchant or something.) The problem was in the new script for the geckos. While I did change the map script so that 5 geckos can now be found/killed, the map variables were not being set by the geckos when killed. I have corrected this for the next release.

Thank you all for the bug reports.

 

Or, he may have killed some "wrong" NPCs. This happened in two new locations where the original script authors used Arroyo scripts as the shells. For example: If you killed an NPC at the original Bunker 21 location, you would generate negative karma/reputation with Arroyo, and the game would end. I think I caught all instances of this, but, clarification would be helpful.

I'll check the BoS Bunker and other items when I get back from assignment in a few weeks. I remember those bones in the sewer. I must have reverted to an earlier map at some point. At one point I removed the note (it wasn't necessary) as well as the spear kit (since it was something from Lich I didn't want to incorporate).

 

Then, check your character screen during one of those saves. See if you are an enemy of Arroyo, rather than Idolized. There might be some bad leftover code in one of those Colly scripts. Again, I'll check as soon as I can.

Or, as Vrede pointed out: did you complete the first quest for Arroyo? There is a time limit.

It is possible that it is some random map corruption. However, this usually occurs when there is an item on the map that is not in the data/proto/items folder. For example: If I created a laptop computer (item 995) for use in the game, then added it to the upper level of the SAD, then deleted that new item from the data/proto/items folder (.0000995.pro), you would see this error. So, check your data/proto/items folder. Make sure everything is read-only there. You might have to recopy those files from your MM archive.

Problem is, you won't know what file(s) you are missing. You are playing a Russian version, so, I don't know if everything is there. If it were me, I would open up the pro_item.msg file in the data/text/English/game folder. Then I would have to check to make sure that there is a *.pro file for every item mentioned in the file after 531. But, while the information is there, not all items are used yet. Some things are in the process of being added. But, you won't know what those items are.

So, bottom line: without knowing what files you have, I can't know exactly what file(s) are missing. That is why I said you might have to recopy that portion from the archive.

 

Ah! I remember this now! This is just a Fallout tool/editor from... a while ago. It allows for new sounds to be added to the list of sounds in the game without having to do the process manually (editing the sound.lst file really is a pain). I think I only used it once to add the 'spit' sound for the giant cockroaches. It should not be in any of the MM releases, though. Just an oversight.

 

Thanks for the bug reports on Colly, Stave. I fear that area will always have bugs.

Yes... with work.

There is no way to just pluck out a few files from the MM and make it work with vanilla Fallout 2. It was never a standalone mod, just something I made up several versions back when the MM was well underway.

You could save yourself a little time remaking the map, at least, if you installed the MM, opened the map in the mapper, and removed the power regulation chip (item 643) from one of the crates on the storage level. Then, you could load up a vanilla version of F2, add the MM SAD map to the maps folder, recreate that item with a new item number, and re-add it to the map (depolva.map).

You would have to modify the party.txt file with the Sentrybot additions made to the MM party.txt file in the data/data folder.

You would have to modify the wibrksbt and wcbrnbot scripts. Decompile them and change dialog numbers over 1303 (the last numbered script in vanilla F2), any new global variables greater than 695 (I think that was the last original one) which track bringing it online and its weapons, and references to item 643. That wibrksbt script would also have to be added back to that depolva.map. Thanks to Nirran and Endocore, no other work to wcbrnbot.int other than to the numbers mentioned above would be required to get the Sentrybot to work.

Oh, and there is a new scenery item: the broken sentrybot. That would also have to be removed, recreated, and re-added to the depolva map.

I know it seems pretty bad, huh? It's not. Maybe 1 1/2 hours for someone who has modded the game before. More, of course, for someone not familiar with modding or the tools.

Make ya (or anyone else, for that matter) a deal: You get the tools and make an honest effort to try to make it work, and I will help you if you get stuck.
