Need help with fallout 2 mapper

H

Hodgey

First time out of the vault
I want to dabble in making maps and modding my fallout 2 but I cant get any mappers to work. I have the fallout Trilogy so i don't know if that's compatible with any mappers out there, I downloaded one but when i try to start it it says "Couldn't/load text fronts". Any help would be really appreciated!
 
Need more information. This problem usually appears if the language version of the game is not the same as the language set for the mapper. E.g. in Fallout2.cfg is language=german and in the mapper.cfg is language=english. If this is the case for you, then change language=english in the mapper.cfg to german or whatever other language you have.
 
The mapper configure file (mapper2.cfg) needs to find your Fallout 2 location...

What kind of information do you need and how can I change the language? How can I download the black isle mapper to find my fallout 2, when I download it I get a message saying that I don't even have fallout 2 installed on my computer.

What you're saying isn't true. You can download the mapper just fine. It's when you run the mapper that you get this message.

This is because the mapper was made way before 64-bit Windows, Steam or even Fallout 2 was released, and everyone installed their games in C:/Program Files. The mapper looks for Fallout 2 in there, but won't find it because it's installed through Steam.

When you install Fallout 2 through Steam, it ends up in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 2.

Change the path in the mapper2.cfg file to that.

Jackpot! This helped me a lot! I'm trying to add the cheatboy someone else created with the whole sha-bang to make it compatible with the latest Sfall and Resto Project 2.3.3. Thanks heaps for this help.
