Fallout 2 mod Megamod version 2.47 Bug Reports and Suggestions

I did a quick-test: I see her ghost picking up stuff when I spawn it (i.e. waiting until midnight next to the body). I can't loot the body myself, no hand-icon (although the ghost seems to be able to). Anyway, she ends up with a Knife (unless I pick it up first), 2 Healing Powder (can be seen via barter and one may be from the body unless she starts with two) and a Rock (can only be seen when stealing from her). So it seems her ghost loots the body possibly, but definitely picks up the knife when spawned in. Perhaps it's best if the ghost has no items (to cancel stealing), disable loot bodies script, and allow the player-dude to loot the body (or remove the items from the body otherwise, i.e. if I can't loot the body it doesn't need to have any items on it).

 

pickup_p_proc runs when the player is caught stealing from the critter (steal check failed). It does not prevent the player from using the skill.
If you want to prevent the player from using Steal on the ghost, you can set the "no steal" critter flag for it (if the ghost uses its own unique proto) or call "script_overrides" in use_skill_on_p_proc of its script (prevent using any skill, since it's a ghost) or via USESKILL hook from sfall.

 

Hi everyone, first of all i would like to thank you for great work creating this mod.
I have encountered few problems. After instaling F2 Megamod US HD [v2.47.4.2] to a fresh F2 game everytime i will attack plans, game crashes. The same situation is with for example War Party or scorpions vs plants. My main concern is i can't fight , becouse game suddenly stops.

Like : " The program encountered a problem at address 0254a70c and cannot continue"

Best Regards,
M.

 

Hi, just a moment. Thanks to report; answer: New version of sfall-e need to disable debug mode. Open ddraw.ini - DebugMode=2, replace to 0.
Updated! Add ifp 1.6.0.

 

Thank you for fast reply !
It's working.
Keep up the good work

 

Just got back into fallout again, was wondering if you still had the critters I made, I had modified the wakisashi frms to look like a katana (I had only done the power armor ones though)and I had made a dual wield animation for the combat armor?

I thought they were on my computer but they must have been on my laptop which has since gone to a landfill.

 

Please, update main post of this theme.
add link to their mesage

@MIB88
MM 2.47.4 - please, check and fix the following files:
incorrect items proto:
550, 551, 553; 595, 596, 597, 598, 599, 600; 901.
incorrect critters proto:
77, 114; 501-505, 514, 526, 527, 531, 532, 533, 547, 550, 569, 585, 611, 619, 621, 631, 632, 643, 650, 651, 656-660, 684

 

Most critters not recognized (<noname>) and can not be opened (It seems that broken).

 

Oh, that old Fallout 2 itch... anyway, as usual, started a complete new adventure. Came to Broken Hills, several issues:
1. Francis and Phil are unresponsive when first entering map. Once Broken Hills east has been visited they become responsive
2. Liz shop inventory is available on second(upper) table. No need to steal it, I just came in and cleaned her out.
3. When attempting to fix mine air purifier I consistently hanged the game on first combat turn with red giant ant. However once the east hidden cave is visited and Stodgers bugs out, everything works normally, no idea about cause of hang.
If I find anything else, I'll post

MIB88: Megamod (Fallout 2)​

__________
Name: Megamod (mod for Fallout 2)
Version: 2.47.4
Language: US
Author: MIB88
Release: ~30.11.2005
Website: NMA
Copyright: Bethesda Softworks LLC.
__________
Description:
Megamod - the name speaks for itself: new locations, new characters, new quests, a lot of stuff and adventures on your way. Almost every location will find something new, just look closely.

__________
It is a full repack and is the only version you need. You can add it on top of an existing game or to a fresh install, since no files were removed in this version. However, keep in mind that some changes/fixes may not appear in your game unless you start a new game or enter a location for the first time.

I know there are still a number of issues/bugs, especially involving the Brotherhood of Steel.

If there is anyone out there who is able to post it on NMA or would like to include it on any other sites, please feel free to do so. I would greatly appreciate that.

Enjoy.

When I try and play it i get an error prompt saying "
"Couldn't find/load text fonts"
Did I do something wrong or is this a know big?
Edit:I fixed It. I'm disappointed with the mod lol

 

Either the paths to master.dat and critter.dat are wrong, or language= in fallout2.cfg isn't set to your games language.

 

2.47.4.2 (installer)? Read careful this post

• !! Default, installation takes place in a subfolder and does't overwrite the original! [C:\Games\Fallout 2\MOD].
• !! To install in the game directory, please, change the path and enable checkbox "Root directory mode".

 

Honestly I feel like installing mods directly into the game directory should be discouraged as much as possible.

 

Some want to install mods in the game folder.
Others want to play several mods at once.
In the end, a compromise.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dropping mod files into main Fallout 2 folder just means you ruin it and have to make a clean reinstall if you want to get rid of the mod. There's really no reason to do that, except maybe lack of knowledge about it.

Heck you could just drop everything into /mods/ folder nowadays and then toggle the folders via ddraw.ini settings. It's easier for everyone.

/Edit: I just don't see a point in adding multiple ways of installing a mod when there's one that is clearly superior for the generic player.
