Need a bit of help to start modding...

[Deleted member 62454]

Hi guys, I want to start modding FO1. I want to mess with custom items, NPCs and special encounters. What tool I need to do that stuff?

There are some tutorials for a lot of things if you look around. First off you will want to extract your .DATs. For adding or editing item or critter attributes, you modify .PROs. For special encounters, edit data\WORLDMAP.TXT.

Hey, thank you. Problem is, there is a lot of tools to do one same thing for FO1/2 and I don't know which one is compatible with FO1.

Sduibek is the one who's been working on a Fallout 1 mod, so maybe he can help with that. Cubik has the F2WEDIT program that I think can work with FO1, but I've only used it for FO2 (with excellent results,) since I haven't attempted tweaking FO1 yet. I think Vad has a savegame editor that should work for FO1, too. Haven't tried it, but have used the FO2 editor with also excellent results. http://www.nma-fallout.com/showthread.php?185130-Fallout-2-Savegame-Editor Links are there.

F2wedit isn't compatible, too bad because is a very good tool.

It should be compatible with FO1 (unless your game is not in English or Polish), be sure you use newer versions.

There's a lot of detailed documentation and tools on archived TeamX site, mostly in Russian language though.

I have 1.4.6.21 and it still aks for F2 exe and files.

The latest version is 1.4.8.27, it should ask you for the game directory and DAT files at the first time it starts up.

Great, that one works like a charm. Thank you!

That's good to know it works for it.

Well, I now know how to edit NPCs and items, how about special ecounters? FO1 doesn't have WORLDMAP.TXT

EDIT: It's a pain in the ass that perks are hardcoded... Any guide to properly edit perks? I don't want to replace the perks actually used in the game, so it would be good to know if there is any free "slot" or unused/cutted perks.
