New weapons and new locations

First time out of the vault
Hi everybody, you may find some mistakes in my posts so i already apologizing cos english is not my native..

You see the idea is to create a fallout addon with new locations and weapons, maybe fixes (killap, yikxx), without changing the original things like weapons or the story line..

So, what mods/addons that ads new locations, weapons you guys know and where i can find them? thx.
 
...
We have a file section filled with mods and add-ons, as well as a modding section. Why don't you look there first and post in the right place?
 
I did convert a whole lot of them at one stage but I dont really have them laying around anymore :(

easy enough to convert the whole lot in one go though by making a simple batch file.

1) Get all the weapon *.spr files from FOT into one folder.
2) Download spr2gif.exe and gif2frm.exe into the above folder
3) In a command prompt (dos) type
Code: 
dir /b *.spr > convert2gif.bat
4) Open convert2gif.bat with either notepad or excel, notepad it fine but excel is faster. The instructions below are for excel.
5) Insert a column in front of existing data
6) Type spr2gif in the top row of the new colomn, use the 'edit' and 'fill down' command to copy this for all of the spr files listed.
7) Save the file and run the batch file. This should convert all of the FOT weapons into Gif files.

8/ In a command prompt (dos) type
Code: 
dir /b *.gif > convert2frm.bat
9) Open convert2frm.bat with either excel
10) Insert a column in front of existing data
11) Type gif2frm in the top row of the new colomn, use the 'edit' and 'fill down' command to copy this for all of the gif files listed.

12)Save the file and run the batch file. This should convert all of the FOT weapons into FRMs.

Easy as that, you can use this method to mass converting all of the FOT art jsut about, though the critters require a little bit of tweaking. Down the Spr2Frm batch file I used and take a look at it (it's messy but it automates 95% of the process)
 
I've created all the files but read below for how I converted them. The zip file below contains all the frms for each item, including the item ground images.

okay, the above method works for most of the command line tools except spr2gif because it creates a folder with the orignal file name. Dont worry you can you use this method:

1) Download the Variable Command Line Processor. http://www.otbsw.com/

2) type this in the command prompt to create the variables.txt file
Code: 
DIR /ON /B /AD > Variable.txt
Use Spr2Gif.exe as the executable
Use spr2gif -b %VAR as the command line


3) Use Gif2Frm.exe as the executable
Use default_NE.gif as the command line

4) Use Gif2Frm.exe as the executable
Use default_NW.gif as the command line

5) Use Gif2Frm.exe as the executable
Use default_SE.gif as the command line

6) Use Gif2Frm.exe as the executable
Use default_SW.gif as the command line

7) Use Gif2Frm.exe as the executable
Use guibig.gif as the command line

8/ Use Gif2Frm.exe as the executable
Use guismall.gif as the command line

When converting a Spr file into a Gif file you will notice that it actaully extracts several images out of one Spr file, each of these can then be converted into a FRM. You can then select a ground image to use and I would recomend using the large gui image for the item rather than the small one.
