Fallout Fixt by Sduibek

I only use unofficial patches, and even then I am selective. I don't like fucking with the devs work beyond fixing actual bugs, but that's me. I know a lot of people disagree.

Also higher resolutions zoom out and ruin the game.

Newest hi-res patch (included with this) adds optional fog of war option which should help with that.

Sduibek: Generally speaking, no.

That answered my question on this mod.

Nice bro, thanks for sharing.

Should have tried to convince him to separate them

That doesn't seem to be his design goal. And separating them was asked a LONG time ago, but he still was not interested in doing so. Oh well.

Holy shit, the new Hi Res patches are AWESOME. Mash added scaling so you can use high resolutions without everything being small and zoomed out!

http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout2_High_Resolution_Patch

You can also enable fog of war and a "free cam" so it works like the Infinity Engine!

This mod really is a shame. I'll take the bug fixes and probably play around with some of the changes but quite a few of them don't make any sense at all and i'll pass on the entire mod rather then play around them.

Every mod needs to be fully customizable through either an in-game menu or text file. Long live JA 1.13.

Hmmm, I am in the late-stages of a Fallout 2 replay right now (using the mod, but just to fix colors, playing at 640x480)... worth changing? Last thing I wanna do is fuck it up when I'm heading to the oil rig.

this mod is for F1.

this mod is for F1.

The new high-res mentioned above is for both, and what I was referencing.

I'd recommend you try it. I don't think it can hurt. If things look fucked up, revert to the older version. It's just a DLL, it doesn't change game data.

Okay, I played a bit with the Fog of War + "Free Cam" feature.

It's interesting but problematic. The fog of war is based on line of sight, not mere proximity like in the IE games. As a result, you get these weird, ugly patches of blackness in blind corners that you haven't peeked into. Additionally, unlike the IE games, there's no intermediate "greyed out" effect for areas where you've explored but are not close to currently. Such areas will appear entirely visible, but if you come close to them, any NPCs in them will appear to pop out of thin air.

So I have a native resolution of 1680 x 1050, and I think an 21" monitor. I never played Fallouts with high res patch because it looked ugly and too small to me, and lost the atmosphere of the game if I used them. But if the patches are improved etc. Maybe I should give it a try? What resolution should I use so it looks like I'm playing it on 15" CRT like in the good old times? :D

Use your native resolution. It should look okay now (not small)

Another thing to try would be exactly 1/2 of your monitor's native res. This way you don't get ugly as shit monitor scaling.

Yeah it does look shitty with x2 scaling, but better than without it at all at 1680 x 1050 (everything's tiny). I tried 840 x 525, but it doesn't work it says "Error initializing video mode 840 x 525" and "The selected Display mode is unsupported". So I'm still thinking should I play it vanilla or with 1680 x 1050 x2 scaling...

Seek the "maintain aspect ratio" checkbox and live in harmony with your graphics card.

 

[Pope Amole II]

- Killian's wares are now combined and moved to his inventory whenever talking to him, thus if bartering via button or dialog you'll always see all his stuff. Players new to Fallout didn't understand why he only sold Desert Eagles, and needing to access the shelves to get his other inventory isn't documented anywhere

Fuck.

I've played fallout for the first time when I was in the seventh grade. And, while I was no child prodigy and internet was hardly a thing around here back then (so we played with no guides & stuff), not once an issue of this level of stupidity occured to me or to my classmates (many of whom were also playing fallout and, if you forgive me a little bit of non-modesty, were somewhat less smarter than me). I could've understood this change if the issue behind it was "for the sake of convenience, let's make less barter screens", but this? Catering to clinical idiots? Fuck those losers.

Where can I find that? f2_res_config.exe doesn't offer such option...

It should be a setting available to most IBM/nVidia/AMD video cards -- it won't be part of the mod.

I forgot to consider too small of a resolution. You might need to add an unsupported mode to windows.

What version of Windows are you using?

 

[Kukulkan]

Since they're dead set in thinking that every little removed thing must be in the game it would only make sense to add the radioactive raccoons. Or did I get that retarded bit wrong?

Windows 7 64 bit. And Ati Radeon 4870 512Mb.
