Fallout 2 mod Megamod version 2.47 Bug Reports and Suggestions

Thanks, @naossano , for the report. I will address these as I fix them.

naossano said:
- There are two versions of the abbey, with different quests. Those mentioned in the Megamod guide are about the location labelled *monastery*. Those quests don't seem to be functionnal. The version labelled *Abbey* is the location we know from the RP.

- As the Monastery quests were unresponsive, i have to cheat to enable Carson City (two versions. Only one is working). The settlement has a green exit grid that leads to .... bunker 21... Which already is a separate location. I guess it is a glitch. (also, it doesn't seem i am missing any quests. Still have to find Kruget, though)

I just corrected the Monastery. Turns out an incorrect node was being called in the script when you accept the first mission. I have corrected the bug and the player will now get a holodisk from the head monk in order to do the first mission when the next version is released.

naossano said:
- Many unreacheable locations (that i activated through cheats) are either not loading (village near Vault City, Ranger safe house), incomplete (slaver vault), or unlikely to ever be activated (abandoned mine). Might be good to do some clean up to reduce data volume, unless there are plans for those locations.

I have plans for all those maps... someday. I have, however, already corrected the bug that was preventing the player from finding the Ranger Safe Houses. These will be available in the next version.

- Lenny won't join until i get the GECK.

I thought I fixed this in the last release (2.47.3). Are you using that latest version? What is time/date on the file gclenny.int in the data/scripts folder?

naossano said:
- A lot of floating lines are missing. Didn't list them, though. On the other hand, when i reach a location, i get Skynet floating lines, even if it isn't there.

I haven't seen this at all. Were the Skynet lines at all locations? If you didn't have Skynet, what party NPCs did you have?


Oh. And one more thing: don't bother making defenses to anybody about the mod. If someone wants to play it, then fine. If not, that is fine, too. However, I definitely would not have bothered to respond to the post from @HorrendusPT. That's the same person who rated the Megamod in the downloads section, and then clearly says here that s/he never even downloaded it. The person clearly has no idea what s/he's talking about.
 
Lenny file is from september 21th 2014. It is possible that i have an older version. It says 2.47 when i launch the game, but i believe it was 2.47.1, which is kind of weird, as i downloaded the file recently (september 2018) from this thread.

I will try to see if i can add the monastery holodisk through the F2se and if it works on the Vault City computer.


About Skynet, it seems it happens at all locations, sometimes above another character's head, sometime on the air. (i've tried the sentry bot version)

About the ranger safe houses, the dialogs said i already knew the location, while i did not. I made the locations visibles through F2se, and the map weren't working. (black emptyness) (same for the other maps i mentioned as not loading)

About the dwarf, it seems that the third situation wasn't his fault. When i enter the Bazaar, one of the Vortis men sees me and trigger hostility. I might take care of him later on.

The second Marcus also became unresponsive. I guess i will make a third and final Marcus when i'll go to Mariposa.

The defense was about mods in general. Not all mods are great. But there are other ways to adress it.

The latest version of Lenny should be from March 2018. I just tested it last night, and it is working properly.

And, if you add the Abbey Holodisk to your inventory, the quests will still not work. I went through the head monk's script last night. There were various nodes that were numbered incorrectly, not just one.

And here is 2.47.3. The link was several pages back.

I checked my downloaded files, and i confirm that i used 2.47.1. Now updating to 2.47.3.

The readme files seems to also indicate fixes for bugs that i've noticed, but forgot about.

Also had an issue with the EPA. When i ask to retrieve one of the npc (i guess the RP companions), nothing happens. No message error. No resurrection either. I will check again with the patch.

Thanks for the update.

Edit: The link in the first page is still 2.47.1, which explains why i've downloaded this one. Also, the third Marcus works fine.

MIB88, can you update the first page with 2.47.3 version please? I guess it could solve many problems with people downloading the wrong patch and then having issues which were fixed long ago.
 
I finally caught what triggered the issue with Marcus. He becomes unresponsive as soon as we finish the conversation about him no longer being sterile. (When you pay him a prostitute at cat's paw, he says he hopes the girl doesn't get pregnant. You have the option to ask him about that. Turn out i didn't ask him about it on his third incarnation.)

Noticed a couple of issues at Vault 14.

- The music randomly glitch. Sometime we have one music, sometimes another, sometime the wind soundtrack (the one from the demo. or the one when loading a map), sometimes no soundtrack at all.
- The light is also variable. Sometimes it gets very very dark.
- Can't get Meris, as at some point in the conversation after i ask if i can take the Wanamingo, there is no more lines, but the dialogs stays open. (i can't leave it with enter, spacebar, escape, 0 or 1). I am stuck there unless i force to crash to desktop. (which effectively prevent me to get that party member)

Doesn't happen all the time, but it seems that, if i drive a car, reach a green circle (a city on worldmap), then move again within that same green circle, i lose the car...
 
You might want to add to the install instructions that, if running under WINE, you need to extract to a different directory, I use Extract in my development area, then use a bulk renamer such, as Thunar, to make sure all directory and file names have the same case, in both directories. Then copy and paste to the MegaMod folder If not you may have things like a data folder and a Data folder, or 00000012.PRO and 00000012.pro, in which case things do not work right.
 
Trying to make 3rd Marcus (with new armor) leave my party (through dialogs or by killing him) screwed my whole game.

I had to reinstall the game for my savegames to work again. (although, i avoided any savegame related to Marcus)

Dunno if the major crash happened because of being a third Marcus, because of the armor, because of Marcus being bugged in the first place, because i updated during the playthrough or if it is some *read only* tag issue.
 
Hi MIB88
Can i ask how thinks going on you side? I have feelings that release of update is near, so i wish to know.

And something come to my mind. About healing. Is it possible to skill healing remade that it will always succeed restore few HP, but the cost will be the time spend on it. If is low and normally it shall fail it will cost more time. (currently always 30 min) On Other side if is high enough it can be done faster and whit more hp restored.

Secondary the Medic kit, doctor bag, military (something), is just like normal healing and can be consumed. And the consume rate is pretty high and can fail. So how about remove the consume ability from them or pick it to be fine low and make it function as increase of skill for first aid and doctor. (same as tools for other skills, as pick lock, and repair)
 
Hi! I just subscribed to give you a big THANK YOU for making my prefered game of all times more alive than ever, all these mods are so well made, with such a respect with the basic spirit (and grampy bone, neva forget grampy bone...) of the game, damn I still have so much fun after more than 20 games... I love to rediscover it, everytime I find new features, SUPER BIG THANK YOU FOR THAT.
Well now I'm here, I can report things I have issues with (I just discovered 2.47.3, was one hour ago on 2.47.1, but still):
- The security bot version of Skynet can't be given orders anymore: I first hired it, then dropped it to my base, until there no problem, dialogues and stuff, but now I re-hired it the only dialogue line available is "Not much of a conversationalist, eh?", so I can't ask it to leave the party or change distances or what, forced to kill it to hire other people (3CHR)
- There's no way to get inside the Brotherhood Bunker, there's a lack of conversation with the main gate character
I'll test the rest right now, I can't wait to finally save Sulik's sis!

Just an idea: maybe you could make a topic about GVARS files, if that doesn't take you too much time (I don't know how you work who knows? Maybe it could be quickly done) to help fans to manage to temper with issues they meet, not a precise thing jut a few enlightments on the limits of the thing (highest values, knows issues...)

Damn we're far from finishing with this game, thank you again!

Hello again.
In the Russian Megamod guide (https://falloutmods.fandom.com/wiki/Russian_Megamod_Guide) it is said that there're some extra quests in Redding for Kokoweef or for Morning star mines after bringing chip to one of them with posibility to tarnish Doc. Johnson.
I did not have this quests in my game and there is no description of these quests in English and Czech versions of this guide.
Were they cut out from the mod or are they going to be implemented in next version?

one day ill get all the updates on megamod i need and play it again. one day.
 
I think the patron of the Hole (Den) is bugged. He goes home during the morning hours (about 4.00 to 8.00 o'clock) and returns in the morning (8.00 o'clock). This leaving and coming bugs out. And he starts to stand at the edge of the map incapable of coming or going (basically frozen in place, which does not seem to clear up again). The only thing that works is to push him back into the bar manually (lol), but he starts to walk into walls after that (double lol).
I believe vanilla had the same issue.
However, RP Mod fixed it. And when you replace the dcbilly.int with the one from RP Mod the patron starts to come and go with only minor hiccups (needs sometimes a few seconds to start moving).
I don't know if there are any other strings attached, though, i.e. if replacing the MM script for billy will cause other issues. But, so far, the RP Mod script works fine.

Anyway, you should check if the bug can be reproduced in case it's just my version that is faulty.
 
First of all I would like to thank the creators and the people behind this mod.

Right now I'm going through a couple of bugs that are annoying.

- Can't read the raider's map, so I can't get the locations of their base
- I can't got up ladders, the char just stays put when I click on them
- Holodisks don't work, when I click on them (tried a few) it just says (that does nothing)
 
Hi all,
MIB88, thank you for all your hard work. I recently started another run, all was going well. There's minor issue with Primitive tribe, I didn't get the quest to deliver 10 knives and spears, Kron skipped me right through to trader encounter. Maybe cause I played with female, but not quite important. Sulik's sister was displayed as ghost as well, but was functional otherwise and did not impact any quest.
I got a huge problem with Miria though. She levels up correctly, however as soon as I load/enter another screen she reverts from fearsome warrior to wife. Have no idea how that happened. Klint, Sulik and Vic level up normally and retain their levels.
I didn't get much farther than Redding, New Reno I barely scratched, so I didn't get very far. Still, if game could be salvaged...
Attached is the savegame, just before I and Miria level up.
Have installed on clean installation of Fallout 2, first Megamod 2.47.1 then 2.47.3 patch with hotfix from few posts above.
EDIT: on second look, just Vic retains his levels, neither Sulik nor Kllint Level up normally

Hi all,

first of all, thanks for this great mod and the huge amount of effort put into it. I'm currently playing it for the first time and having a blast so far. However, I get a huge amount of random encounters (~10 during the walk from The Den to Modoc) which is super annoying. Is this a bug or a feature? I use version 2.47.3.2

It's a feature.
 
Hello. It's been ages since i played megamod, but i keep getting my party member levels resetting to their original stats. I use sfall party appearance script with text config, maybe that cause it, but also it seems i cannot disable original npc appearance mod as well...
Have you managed to make it work? Cos otherwise it makes companion levels useless.
