Aligning the FO1 and 2 maps is hard. The grid lines are not aligned with the compass, and the maps supposedly overlap, but don't really match each other. One folder of my atlas is called "FO 1 and 2 Cartography". It has a long description of how I did it: This folder contains details of the...

MCA's Fallout Bible proposed a few ideas about mutant, and possibly ghoul, sterility. I think the "born ghouls" in Van Buren were produced by "Science!". Tactics had supermutants trying to create more of themselves in a lab. The (failed) results looked a bit like some of the failed...

Sorry, I meant talking (and hairy) deathclaws in FOT. To the old-timers, the Vault 87 supermutants seemed like another example of implausibly moving classic FO elements to DC.

If you want to use actual locations, Raven Rock is at Lat 39.734306 Lon -77.419914, about 5.3 miles W-NW of Emmitsburg, Maryland. Also known as Site R, or the Alternate Joint Command Center, or (possibly) the First (Damage?) Estimating Station. Built in the 50s as a backup Pentagon.

Very nice! If you are a Google Earth user, I made something like this back in 2008 that runs in GE, mainly for the Core area. It's in the Downloads-Misc. section, here. Also see this forum thread. Feel free to use anything in that you find useful. I've wanted to make a Google Maps...

When the intro calls the BOS "military vault dwellers", you could assume they are using "vault" generically to mean a bomb shelter meant for extended use. Forgivable. A bigger problem is calling Vault 0 "the hub of the vault network". They could have used the same kind of facility but made it...

Long ago I used a hex editor to find where the FOT world map movement rate mask was stored in BOS.cam. I posted a tutorial on it long ago (2007?). It might be helpful. Random thought follow! Do the images have a green tint added, or do they have the red and blue channels removed? If a...

From your screenshots, it looks like you have the Brahmin Wood map from Mission 1. Just curious, were you able to import it complete from FOT? When you said "assets" I just thought "tiles, sprites, etc". Dialogue tree! Awesome. What about Turn Based play? I recall timed events never worked...

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> What I'm most looking forward to in Fallout 4 is that the criogenic plotline and pre-war scenes are actually about the dog. In a...

Paraphrasing John Boorman's post apocalypse: "A new trailer." "An end to forum semi-retirement." (raised Webley) "REVENGE." The trailer is well made, and gets the lizard brain interested in what the next Beth outing has in store. Then you stop to think about it... Perlman: I wonder if what...

Whatever we may think of him, he is not so different from us in one crucial way. From an article on Ars Technica, Snowden would post under the username TheTrueHOOHA in one of their IRC channels: Welcome him as a brother.

There may be more info to be found in the Fallout Tactics Help & Tech section. A quick search turned up: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7507 I don't really do CTB for 2 reasons: 1) being an old wargamer I prefer Squad TB, and 2) memories of FO2 and Marcus with any burst...

This may not be a helpful suggestion. If by "the original developer's intent" you mean Microforte's intent, that will always be a difficult road. Instead, how about a mod that undoes many of the issues FOT had with setting and canon, taking over from the end of FOT? In effect, dismantle...

So far I'm enjoying the mod quite a bit, and only through Freeport! On the recruit duping issues, I recalled this post: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9404 ...seemed to have a pretty thorough discussion. Here's quick comments on a few things, and a not-so-quick at the...

I'm wordy but no author. Paul Brians published that as a book back in 1987 or so, and it's one of the most comprehensive studies of the topic. I'm fortunate to have a copy. His website has most or all of the text, plus he has updated it. And some other goodies, including an article on...

I recall my squaddies being promoted. I was usually lazy and kept the same ones through the whole game. I think they might have gone up 3-4 ranks total (?). However it works, I guess it has to be a slow progression so the main character will always be the highest rank...otherwise you would...

That Ark Encounter website even has some helpful level-design concept art for you! Follow up on the Ark idea, but a little less cheeky. If you go back about 200 years, when the idea that species could develop over time was still very controversial, it was also hard for anyone to imagine...

IMO you need more destruction. There is an official US-Government-approved scenario from the Cold War. Plugging my own post here: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61057&start=20 Just figure the Great War in Fallout is much, much worse.

How about a fundamentalist creationist ark theme park? http://arkencounter.com/ And when you ask the inhabitants how all those mutated things have evolved, clearly not being present from the time of Creation, as can be seen in the Biblical History Museum right there in the park...their heads...

A few Texas ideas spring to mind: I bet there would still be a glow coming off of Pantex, the nuclear weapon assembly plant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantex And then there is Denton, Texas (near Dallas): "In 1954, the regional office of the Federal Civil Defense Administration...
