New tools for Fallout 1/2

I see that all skills calculation for Fallout creatures are made as for Fallout 2.
I'm almost build my own pro viewer tool, so I just show you a piece of code here.

Code:

//IT = IN
procedure CalculateSkills(const SPECIAL: TSPECIAL; var Skills: TSkills; Game: Integer = gmFallout);
begin
 with Skills, SPECIAL do
  begin
   case Game of
    gmFallout2:
     begin
      SmallGuns:= 5 + 4*AG;
      BigGuns:= 2*AG;
      EnergyWeapons:= 2*AG;
      Melee:= 20 + 2*(AG + ST);
      Throwing:= 4*AG;
      FirstAid:= 2*(PE + IT);
      Doctor:= PE + IT - 5;
      Speech:= 5*CH - 10;
      Barter:= 4*CH - 10;
      Gambling:= 5*LK - 10;
      Outdoorsman:= 2*(EN + IT) - 10;
     end;
    else
     begin
      SmallGuns:= 35 + AG;
      BigGuns:= 10 + AG;
      EnergyWeapons:= 10 + AG;
      Melee:= 55 + (AG + ST) div 2;
      Throwing:= 40 + AG;
      FirstAid:= 30 + (PE + IT) div 2;
      Doctor:= 15 + (PE + IT) div 2;
      Speech:= 25 + 2*CH;
      Barter:= 20 + 2*CH;
      Gambling:= 20 + 3*LK;
      Outdoorsman:= 5 + (EN + IT) div 2;
     end;
   end;
   Unarmed:= 30 + 2*(AG + ST);
   Sneak:= 25 + AG;
   Lockpick:= 20 + (PE + AG) div 2;
   Steal:= 20 + AG;
   Traps:= 20 + (PE + AG) div 2;
   Science:= 25 + 2*IT;
   Repair:= 20 + IT;
  end;
end;

And I think that Speech, Barter, Gambling and Outdoorsman in Fallout 2 was negated by 10 in 1.02d patch (comparing to 1.02), because I can get negative numbers in them with low CH, LK, EN or IN, especially with Gifted trait.

 

hi, i am using a german version of Fallout 2 and your F2wedit 1.4.8.25 shows after proper selection of folders: Can not unpack file "stat.msg" from FO2 master.dat
any solutions to this?

Fallout 1/2 Critters Editor v.1.2.3.7 works perfect!

 

double post, my apologies.

 

I personally use critter editor like this:
1) create separate folder for editor, with file structure from the archive
2) make a full set of actual critter PRO files (unpack DATA\PROTO\CRITTERS folder from Master.dat + copy all PRO files from actual folder over it, with all RP or other mods changes) and copy them to appropriate folder inside Critter Editor folder
3) Run the tool, it loads nicely because it has full set of PRO files. Edit anything you want.
4) Open CRITTERS folder inside Critter Editor folder, sort files by date, copy files that you actually changed to your game/mod directory
5) Test changes in-game.

Not the easiest way but I have full control over what changes goes to my mod/game.

 

Brilliant. Thank you.

One issue I have is that I cannot scroll right to see and/or modify the other skills (small guns, unarmed, etc...). Is this an issue that can also be fixed?

 

Perfect! thank you very much, Cubik2k!

 

sorry, bad news! if i try to extract PRO files from DAT and choose just one category, extraction begins, but after a while the message "file not found" pop up and the editor stops working. tried serveral times, all the same.
the editor extracted some files, but i don't know, if that are all files of the category.
if i select "all files", it work flawless!

 

at least "extract all" works. thank you very much for your great tools!

 

There is a bug and it is still reproduced in 1.4.8.27: power pid, type and number of charges doesn't get saved for misc items.

 

Cubik2k could you add a possibility to your f2wedit to load custom ammo types into weapon clip? (now I have to edit weapon .pro manually with hex-editor to add new ammo type into weapon)

 

There IS such possibility. Are you trying to add new ammo caliber? In that case you need to write it's name in proto.msg, after that it will show up in f2wedit.

 

Sure, sure. I know this. The modifyed proto.msg already in f2wedit folder, ewerything goes fine - I can add NEW CALIBER type to the weapon. BUT i can not add DEFAULT ammo of new type to the weapon. Also I edited f2wedit.ini and added new ammo there, but every time i started f2wedit, all settings changed to defaults in this ini file.

 

Ok, thanks. This should work!
But what to do, if I already have new ammo types? How to register them?
