 Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 22:30 Post subject: Fallout 2 Restoration Project 1.2 (Unofficial FO2 Expansion) |
 |
|
It's release time everyone! The long awaited 1.2 update to the Restoration Project is finally here. This release boasts numerous bug fixes, some new content additions, as well as the newly created and highly anticipated party member appearance mod. Everyone is highly suggested to update. Save games from 1.1 will work just fine with this update, but starting over is recommended if you are able to - it is not required though! This update makes the RP quite stable and what it was meant to be from the start.
The installer is now multilingual. In addition to English, the RP now offers French and Polish options. More translations will hopefully follow in the future.
Note: The file size of the RP has increased significantly. The installer is now almost 60MB in size and the manual version is around 33MB. Just a heads up here.
Below is a list of what is found in this release.
Enjoy!
Direct links:
Windows installer (recommended): download
Manual install (advanced users): download
new website: here
Restoration Project technical wiki: here
**POST FIXES**
Note: Installer and archive have already been updated with these fixes, but for those of you who already downloaded the files on June 9th, the fixes are available seperately. Also, please install the fixes in the order they are listed here. For example, first copy over the June 10th files and then the June 11th, etc. Start old to new, not new to old.
June 10th:
Kaga is bugged for dumb characters: Grab fix here (Just extract the 4 files to your Fallout2/data/scripts folder)
June 11th:
The real (non joke) diplomatic Kaga encounter (based strictly on your speech level), which was float only, is now done through the dialogue window. This means that despite having high enough speech to talk him down, you can still choose to fight him. Grab the file here (Just save to your Fallout2/data/scripts folder and overwrite what is already there)
Corrections to the EPA map. These changes will only take effect if you have not entered the main EPA base yet. Grab fix here (Just save to your Fallout2/data/maps folder and overwrite what is already there)
June 12th:
Passing a sneak skill check on the air control terminal while the Navarro base guards are alive would result in the terminal being inaccessible. Grab fix here (Just save this to your Fallout2/data/scripts folder and overwrite what is there)
June 18th:
*This has not yet been added to the installer/archive. You will have to apply this fix seperately.*
Fixes the problem with Eldridge's special inventory restocking incorrectly.
Grab fix here (Just copy this file to your fallout2/data/scripts folder and overwrite what is there.)
July 6th:
*This has not yet been added to the installer/archive. You will have to apply this fix seperately.*
*This is an updated, and updated again, fix to the problem with the car and the Primitive Tribe*
Prevents car from appearing at the Tribe after rescuing Sulik's sister when you don't have the car in the first place. Also fixes the bug where the car could be lost if you didn't leave the Primitive Tribe with it after returning Sulik's sister. Also fixes a similar problem if one attacks the Slaver Camp from NCR. Bug results in the car being lost forever. Grab fix here (Just copy this file to your fallout2/data/scripts folder and overwrite what is there.)
*This has not yet been added to the installer/archive. You will have to apply this fix seperately.*
Going to the Enclave with the Vertibird would result in the ending slides not displaying correctly as well as being unable to continue playing the game. Grab fix here (Extract this .rar and copy the two files inside to your fallout2/data/scripts folder and overwrite what is there.)
| Code: |
======================================
Release 1.2: - Released JUNE/9/2008
======================================

Contaminating the SAD is now reflected in the New Reno ending.
Harold's desk now has the yellow pass key which opens the doors in the Gecko Power Plant.
The Cult of Personality and Karma Beacon perks have now been fully implemented.
Robots that are destroyed at the SAD are now replaced - only on the Repair Level.

Cleaned up code involved in the Den gang war questline.
Fixed bug with Harry not going to jail after you turn him in for giving guns to the Vault Village.
Heavy clean up to the Vault Village questline.
Fixed typo in the description of the Collect Food quest for the Vault Village.
Removed debug code from the Brain's script which caused everyone to think the reactor was fixed after looking at his description.
It is no longer possible to administer the jet antidote to Fannie in Redding yourself. It is only possible to cure Fannie through Lou.
Fixed bug where leaving the map right after giving Fannie money would make it impossible for Fannie to OD on jet.
Fixed dialogue scripting bug in Nikki's dialogue.
Cleaned up Ranger code and how they react to the Slaver's camp quest.
It's finally possible to fly the Vertibird from Navarro to the Enclave - was accidently not included in 1.1
Gas mask now works inside the Broken Hills mine.
Using the elevators at the EPA should no longer crash the game.
Doors that use the ABRE password are no longer bugged.
Killing the plants outside the EPA with the plant spray should no longer cause the quest to kill them to become unresolved.
Fixed day/night lighting problems at the EPA. Only the botanical (green) level has a day/night cycle.
Fixed some bugs with the Doctor at the EPA.
The warrior at the Primitive Tribe will accept either regular or sharpened spears.
-Fixed all bugs associated with this quest.
Fixed the bug with fixing the well at the Primitive Tribe.
Serin should no longer be found stuck inside walls or not show up in places he should.
Removed the explodable rocks near the water at the Abbey.
The quest "Inform brother Thomas and father Tully about the whereabouts of each other" is miss-named. It should be Samuel and not Thomas. This has been corrected.
Failing to steal from the Slavers at the Slaver camp should cause them to become hostile.
Your car will no longer be left at the Slaver camp when you bring Sulik's sister back to the Primitive Tribe.
The guards at the Hubologist stash are no longer unarmed.
Restored the missing graphic to the watch at the Hubologist stash.
Numerous other bug fixes/code optimizations not worth mentioning in detail. |

Yay! Its here!
Fallout 2!!!
I hope there arent many bugs because of the new content though
I am a total code n00b and have waited until this release before even thinking about playing
Is it still best to install on a 1.0 install? or can i install it on a 1.1 or 1.2 disc or whatever? If it must be 1.0 whats the simplest way to get it there?
THX you are the best ever Mr. Bear!;

Installing on a pre-patched game should be fine - it is what I have done.

Everything is outlined clearly when you download the file. If you get the installer, then just click and run. If you download the manual install, then read the readme.

To wiki posters:
I have since updated the F2RP wiki page to reflect the update. I have decided to remove bugs corrected rather than leave them with a strike through. Reason: People get scared when they see a large list of bugs despite the list telling them that 99% of them are fixed. I don't want to deal with this, so the list will just reflect what is wrong in 1.2 - not what was wrong in 1.0. If we want, we can have a septate section which details what is updated in every release.
I have left a few bugs in place since some are still applicable.

Fantastic, I will snatch the .223 Pistol sound and use it in my mod. Thank you yet again for making the world go around.
Bug:
If you first meet Vic without a water flask in your inventory, you get the option to ask him "Where is your friend Ed again?" and he answers "Vault City. Check that fancy map thing of yours". If you do have the water flask when you talk to him, you still get the option to ask him "Where is your friend Ed again.", and he answers "From my friend Ed in Vault City." If you then ask him about Ed after this, he says the line "Vault City. Check that fancy map thing of yours.
Suggestion:
When you reveal the location of Whiskey Bob's still to Sajag, you can learn from him that he has some superiors in the Den. When you argue with him to get better prices and fail a skill check, you always get an option to say "You've got connections to the Den. Come on, I know you can make me a better deal." and this option always wins. Could you make it so that this option only appears when you've actually learned that he has connections to the Den?

My mod F2WR v2.0 makes AP ammo, Laser Pistols, Sledgehammers, Grenades, Bozars and Assault Rifles work like they should, and is compatible with both Killap's RP v1.2 and the MIB88 Megamod! And - it is modular.
My playable but not yet finished mod F2WB v0.5 puts visible towns on the worldmap in FO2, and is just as compatible as F2WR.

The wiki has built-in page history. I think the current way is good. I think we should remove all references to pre-v1.2, unless it's relevant to people who have never seen F2RP before (who are, after all, the primary target group of that page) |

Probably not. I think Magnus did something to address this issue as well.

| Getting a fallout appears to be running in compatibility mode error. Didn't happen before installing RP 1.2. Also tried disabling compatibility and turning it on. |

This was set by Timeslip in his tweaks. There is no need to run the game in compatibility mode anymore. Are you saying that despite not running it in compatibility mode, it still fails? What OS are you running?

Distressing. I'll try and get a hold of Timeslip and see what he says.
Um, any other Vista users here? Similar problems?

Ah, this is good to know for future reference. Do post again if you run again into anything else.

Now I'm getting weird colors whenever I start the game. Colors are fine for a second then immediately goes all funky.
Edit: Nevermind...only seems to happen during certain opening sequences.  |
