Patches for Fallout 2

Not open for further replies.
I installed the 1.5 patch on the UK version of F2, did the read only and stuff for everything, and everything seems to work (and makes the game a lot more fun, thanks), except that while it added the option to select 'maximum blood' which wasn't there before, it still never actually shows death animations beyond falling into a puddle of blood.

Am I doing something wrong or is this simply not a featute of the path? (last seems most likely outside that I don't get why you'd add the ability to change the options if it doesn't do anything)

Maximum blood means that if you do a extreme critical, or have the bloody mess trait on it will show the uber death animations.

Maybe you have the low violence UK edition.

I do, evidently, but normally in that version I can't turn the voilence level over 'Normal'. The patch changed this to include High and MB, so I thought maybe it was intended to add the animations and function of those settings as well, similiar to adding the children's graphics.

Maximum blood means that if you do a extreme critical, or have the bloody mess trait on it will show the uber death animations.

I know what MB does from fallout 1, sorry if that was unclear. (that knew what it was suposed to do, not where from)
 
Theres a oatch out there that adds back the animations that the Eurotrashed versions of FO/FO2 had nuterd out.
 
i deleted the patch000.dat file to get the 1.05 patch working.... but now when i goto load up fallout i get a "amAreainit: error loading cities"

it seens whever i tired to modify my fallout nothing ever works, abbey mod, the unofficial patch, the critters


it only works if i have fame and a mod like truck mod or something


help would be greatly appreciated

That'd be great. I can't find it in the downloads section though, any idea what it's called or where I should look?
 
First off good work for creating the 1.05 patch. But I've got a few problems with it, first off im using the UK version of fallout 2, i installed the official patch 1.02e and then extracted in the 1.05 patch and the small update patch, i also removed patch000. Im using a 800 AMD with 650 Ram and XP home edition.

Now to the problems only a few at the moment as im only up to Den;
1. Iguana-on-a-stick doesn't heal
2. AP rounds still dont do any damage (Are they ment to)
3. I cant loot from the Fire gecko's (their pelts, and i have the gecko skinning perk)

Are these some of the problems others are having that use the uk version? Or is it happening in the US version too?

You forgot to set all the *.PRO files in items and critters directory to "Read-Only" mode. Just install the Items and Critters folders from 1.05 zip again and then set those *.PRO files to Read-Only.
 
so is there an estimated e.p.a. on the 1.6 patch ? or it s still long to be released ?

i would like to play fallout 2 again but i would hate to start a game and see the patch go out in the middle of it :P
if it s far like a month or two i ll wait if it s still something far far away i ll just play..
not to put you in a hurry (take your time! it s best to have something good later than something bad before) just to "know", if we are talking about weeks, months, years :P
 
i have downloaded the city limit patch, but when i goto "Do It!!!!" it comes up with an eror that it cannot find fallout2.exe

i have one on my desktop, and in my fallout folder, when i goto direct it to my fallout folder the program pops up with an error, when i type in my fallout directory for the exe it says the same thing

any help would be nice, i have dl the current version of the city limit patch


Also, to get my 1.05 working, just delete patch000.dat?


thank you

You downloaded the second city limit patch. I think, that you need to have Fallout2 mapper installed also in order to use it. Try using the other city limit patch instead.

and yes, just delete the patch000.dat file AND set all the *.PRO files in critters and items folders Read-Only mode.
 
what do u mean read only? ill try dl the first patch instead tho


i think there should be a FAQ or something for people to do this stuff



none of the readmes explain anything just put them here and there


edit: ok i deleted the patch000 file.... but now when i goto start fallout2 it just shows the load screen then quits back to desktop


what the hell?

Why this is happening to me. Oh well, just go to you critters directory and select all files, then klick the right mouse button and select properties. Tick the Read Only option and select OK, now do the same thing to items folder. If there aren´t any *.PRO files in those directory, you hafta install the patch again.
