Restoration Project Question

H

Hellbane

First time out of the vault
I have generally very much enjoyed playing through this but have the following comments to which I would like to receive responses.

Apparently Frank Horrigan has been made almost invincible. I used per Jorner's 30-minute walkthrough going straight to SF from Arroyo & at the end expected Harrigon to die from the combined efforts of the turrets & Sergeant Granite's group but they did minimal damge, Horrigan killed the turrets & all but one of the group. Finally I had to cheat with an editor to to get armament to kill Horrigan. Alien Blaster shots to the eyes did it.

Very dissapointing!

Also while visiting the Abbey, several of my saved files became corrupted. First time that has happened since I began playing the FO series years ago. So now I avoid the Abbey.

But otherwise as I remarked I enjoyed this mod.

This has been mentioned before. It's a problem with the ap ammo mod that was in the extras section of the installer. Go to ddraw.ini and change DamageFormula to 0.

Not sure about this. Never had a problem before.

All I can say is the upcoming 2.0 will be a MUCH better experience. I highly recommend you give it a try when it comes out.
 
One day.

It'll also be password protected, and you'll only get the password through a PM if you've never asked when is the RP coming out.

:P
 
Another Question

TY for your reply Killap. Can I ask you about EPA or maybe could you or someone could direct me to something relevant posted online. I tried using "search" here but didn't come up with anything usable. Anyway going through EPA was disappointing - couldn't figure out much. Why all the "unauthorized"doors & what can be done to gain admittance? Also the password protected doors.

Seems nonsense to me. Is there a walkthrough online?
 
Dogmeat & K-9

TY for the link to the Project walkthrough!

But another comment/question: Have the specs for the canines in FO2 been altered in this Project? I picked up both Dogmeat & K-9 fairly early on & unlike in the normal FO2 they wreak havoc on the various critters, killing in almost every encounter - even aliens & floaters! I watched in fascination at one time as they ganged up on a floater & eventually killed it without any help from me! In the Unwashed Spammer encounter K-9 went after the villagers & sustained no damage at all from their 10mm weapons as he harrassed them.

I am vastly enjoying their companionship!
 
Crash upon loading area

So, I have a technical problem. I hope this is the right thread, I didn't want to start a new one.

I'm not even 100% sure it's related to RP directly...

I'm doing quests in Redding. I went to kill Frog Morton (was that the name?), but when I go back to Downtown, the game freezes (I can still Alt+tab to desktop as usual though). I've tried earlier save - didn't help. I've tried entering the area from different locations, I even waited for a caravan ride to NCR and then came all the way back to Redding to access Downtown area from the worldmap - didn't help either.

Now, the worst part is that my car is in Redding with NavCom parts in the trunk. Has anyone encountered similiar issue before?
 
Well the correct thread would be Fallout 2 Restoration Project 1.2 (Unofficial FO2 Expansion)

How does it crash? Does it give you an error message or does the loading "spinning globe" thingy stop?
If the globe stops spinning it's most likely the "too many items" bug.

If not then well...
Your map has obviously gotten corrupted somehow, so it really doesn't matter from where you enter it.
You could possibly fix the map by replacing your map with one from a working save (too many items bug section has instructions). Preferably one where you have the car so you don't lose it. If you don't have the Navcom part in the car you will obviously lose that but can put one in your inventory with the F2se editor.

Also, you say you tried an earlier save and that didn't work. So where was this save? Had you already been to Redding in that save? If not you got a problem with the game and not with your save. You then will have to reinstall F2.
 
Thanks for a quick reply. Yeah, it was the "too many items" bug. I didn't have any useful save, but on the page describing the bug was a link for a tool which fixed it.

Thanks a lot, I'd hate to start a new game now, as I'm quite far already.
 
Unfortunately........

This doesn't work at all in Windows 7 apparentlly, but thankfully it does OK in XP......
 
Guess....

I can get F02 to work after a fashion in Win 7 but not with your Patch & Restoration Project installed. Even so, The color is distorted & travel on the world map zips along at too fast a pace....

And you tried using the latest version of sfall?
 
I play on Win7 without any problem using latest sfall and latest RP so I assume something is broken on your side Hellbane. Start from updating sfall like killap wrote (remember about necessary changes in INI file before trying to run with newer sfall)
 
Yep, same here - running it on Windows 7 64-bit. This may be a dumb question, but did you adjust the settings in ddraw.ini file?
 
Nevermind.......

I don't have the knowledge you guys have about all this. I downloaded Sfall as you suggested but all I got was a bunch of gibberish on Wordpad that I could not use.

I'll just make do with what I have on XP & bother you guys no longer.
So long, it's been good to know you.......
