Fallout 2 mod Megamod version 2.47 Bug Reports and Suggestions

Some small bugs in the Abbey:
The "Operations Manual" has the Icon from a Suomi Salve.
The "Army Technical Manual" has the Icon from a Shaman Pipe.
The ladder under the trapdoor behind the medic teleports to the Ruined City near Redding when accessed from above.

Edit:
I found a "Starter" Item that has the description and graphics of Gecko Teeth, which has a clashing pro_item.msg id (64000) with the Teeth. There seem to be more clashing ids while looking through the file (basically the last paragraphs imported from the RP I think)

 

Downloaded 2.47. Since I just finished 2.46 will give it another go. Can't load my old saves, can't figure out why.
There were couple of other issues in 2.46:
Vertibird displayed "A healthy looking tree" when viewed with binoculars - will check it out in this playhtrough
Can't dismiss Marucs after he gets armor, something wrong with gvar 777, if set to 1 game crashes after dismissing Marcus, all other NPCs work properly.
Can't get Klamath crashed vertibird quest in Navarro, even if I have black box. Maybe because I have black box already in inventory it won't show the quest?
Wanamingo script in Vault14 freezes game in dialogue mode - can't get Merris in the party, though that may have been fixed in this edition. will check it out.

 

I've got no problem with old saves not working. It's just the way the process goes. Old saves up to Vault city work, so I may not need to do a completely new run. Not sure if it helps.
As for black box quest, I did try to speak to all of characters in Navarro and that got only Sgt. Dornan to patrol. Maria seems slightly bugged, at least for me. Will give it another go.

 

The Privitive tribe is quite botched... Krom's dialogue and script seem not to be the correct versions (NPC Replies as answers, some script logic errors it seems after reading through it all, "error" lines, etc), a lot of "Error" texts all around the dialogues and floats for the whole tribe...
MIB plz, this looks like a simply c+p all RP related stuffs in, don't release your work copy Alpha 0.01

Edit: Oh and enother thing: could you remove the master.dat merging somewhere in the next versions? Parallel Mod installation ftw

 

Hello dear developer/s. I have a problem with recruting Marcus. He says that there is much going in town and won't join . In previous thread (2.46) - you said that you will release a small patch about this problem. Can one have a link. (can't find it) I did every quest in town.

 

The files "desert10.gam" - "desert13.gam" have two "e" in their names.
Corresponding .map files have only one.

Is it supposed to be this way?

 

bugs:
- Sometimes when hit, my armor qets bypassed even though it's not a critical.

- Every shotgun weapons bypass armor too frequently ( weapons using 12ga ammo).

- When Marcus equip his armor (given at the abbey) he takes the frames of sulik in power armor. Also the proto files for marcus' armor are broken I had to repair them by new proto files.
- The script for Bill in abbey giving marcus' armor references cigarettes and handcuffs instead of mutant armor. I had to create 2 new proto for the mutant armor to fix the bug.

- Even after finishing every quest in broken hills, marcus won't join my party. there's a bug in marcus' script where it checks a gvar value for the completed quests that is never assigned (check if the Gvar equals 7 but I had 9 or something). I edited marcus' script so he can join me regardless of whether the quests in broken hills are done.

- I had an encounter with wolves/feral dogs (can't remember exactly) where 2 of 4 of the dogs were jabba the hut. Was quite funny but couldn't attack jabba and get out of combat mode.

- In cold farms, couldn't speak with fence to start the quest to kill english bob. He kept telling me to speak with english bob even though I finished every quest with him. I had to change Gvar 1007 to 1 to be able to speak with fence.

- The male lackeys in the bounty hunter encounter are bugged. They have sulik's frames (just saw sulik in combat armor and power armor frames).

- Can't access BOS bunker elevator (says i need a code) even though I finished the quest with the recon team. I had to edit Gvar 1080 to enter BOS bunker and I don't understand why the condition to enter BOS bunker is tied to this Gvar.

- Every quest in BOS bunker are unfinishable. Well I had a lot of problem with them couldn't finish them.

- Can't acces BOS facility, there's a problem with the script of the guard at the entrance. He keep telling to get out but i'm a scribe and a knight (edited gvar).

- In EPA can't finish the quest given by the gardener hologram where you have to kill the plant at the entrance. The script checks if I killed 22 plants ( not sure of that number) but the Gvar indicated 37. I just changed the script to check if I killed 22 or more plants (>=).

- In EPA green floor you can target the critters through the walls but if you attack the game crash.

- In San Francisco Doctor Fung has not stock. You can't buy stimpacks or anything from him, his inventory is empty.

I think that's all, I can't think of anything else for now.

 

@Sheen

Can someone tell me how to do this? Where and how i can edit Marcus's script? Please help. I really want into the new location.

 

Never mind about the cigarettes, my memory is a bit fuzzy I confused it with something else.

I'll try to elaborate on this issue. Sometimes when I or my companions get hit, for 1 or 2 hits at the begining of combat, the armor is bypassed without critical. It's like the game hasn't loaded the DR and DT values yet.
And for the shotguns I have no idea what is causing this.

I've got a doubt about the exact number of plants I killed it displayed in Gvars, but what I'm sure is that the number of plants I killed was higher than 22. And I didn't use the spray.

Immediatly when your enter the second room (after the room where the elevator is) you enter combat mode. First time the radscorpions initiated the combat and second time the molerats did. The walls are bugged because I could target (red outlining) the radscorpions or the molerats and when I attack them through the walls my game crash. I don't know if the game crash with the other critters.

I'd like to know somethings about the BOS bunker door that says "Without the access code, this elevator isn't taking you anywhere". It checks if Gvar 1080 >2 to allow access into the bunker but this Gvar is the quest to bring Prof Steel an holodisk. Is it normal ? In my mind
you should get the access code after rescuing the recon team.

I'll try to do more tests about the issues I talked about.

 

I've found a bug with traps in SAD Level 2. Trying to fix it.

Traps in game are implemented with spatial scripts. When you set such a script in BIS-mapper you must define its "radius" (default suggestion would be 0).

Is there any way to see what radius do existing spatial scripts on the map have?

One more thing:
Is 15.2mm ammo actually used in the game?
It has ZERO in DM denominator.

 

Ok.
The problem was that the player couldn't detect the traps at the storage area on Level 2 SAD. I've guessed it was because the respective script spots were set woth radius 0. Maybe it was done on purpose but I fail to see for what greater good I've replaced them with the new ones and set radius to 2. Except of those at lazer tripwire. This has done the trick. However, I had to rewrite the script a little bit, since the revealed plates were all wrong.
I also want to rewrite lazer tripwire section so that instead setting off explosions it deals the lazer damage. Or does something else entirely. Any suggestions?

 

In that case I would suggest that denominator value should be changed to some non-zero.

 

I haven't had enough time lately, side effects of RL I'm afraid.
I did start new game. Items in arroyo have wrong names. Spoon is machined parts, fork is also wrong (can't remember what exactly).
Farm encounter on the way to Den doesn't yield any guns from Metzger men. Don't know if it's intentional, if it is I understand why, getting couple of firearms could be somewhat overbalancing at that point in game.
Primitive tribe is completely bugged. Even though I'm playing with male character this time, Head warrior (Krom if I recall correctly) considers me a female, most of his dialogue after intros are either error or exit completely even if they shouldn't. I can enter fishing village screen, but can't get back - game crashes. When I actually do enter caves north of fishing village, game crashes. I have Klint, Sulik and Vic with me mostly in leather armors.
Will continue playing
