Hopefully I didn't read right past the answer to this, but my brain's a bit fuzzy atm. If you recruit NPCs by talking to them, and something uses a stat total for the whole group, won't you also need to either a) limit the number of recruits that are available, or b) have a trigger check to...

A disclaimer here: I don't mod, I've just read about it. But anyway. Admittedly swapping the letters from inventory into active slot is a big kludge in terms of looks, but compared to all the other ways of making multiple-path dialog, it looks worlds easier to do the Magnum Opus system. At...

I guess the $5 or $10 jewel cases of 1 and 2 aren't available anymore. Shame. I guess unless you could pay $10-15 a copy for 1 alone on Ebay. But, apart from the question of collecting enough copies... Fallout seems to touch on a lot of deep themes, though I don't know that it...

I'll make a brief point on supplies. The '58 Plan assumes that the population will be able to take advantage of existing supplies of various kinds for a while, since the population needing to use them is cut down by quite a bit. It would still be a "race against time" to restore production of...

In 1958 the northern and central plains were relatively safe. By the 80s, they would be subjected to the heaviest radiation in the country, due to all the groundbursts used to attack missile silos. Follow the link I gave above to NAPB-90, open up the "Annex B" pdf, and look at page B-7...

Risking the eternal opprobrium of a gravedig, I'd like to add two "books about books". Probably hard to find, but Rumours of War and Infernal Machines: Technomilitary Agenda Setting in American and British Speculative Fiction, by Charles Gannon (2003, Liverpool: Liverpool, University Press)...

The overall tone of the document is serene, and a little surreal. I suppose that's the language of bureaucracy everywhere. You have to read closely, because the Plan does suggest some harsh post-attack realities. From it, one can easily imagine riots, looting, martial law, confiscation, armed...

I'm still looking for this film, but I was doing a Google search for "President Richardson" and hit on the movie "Virus", or "Fukkatsu no hi" in Japan. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080768/ The President's name is Richardson, and played by the reliably badass Glenn Ford. Also stars...

I haven't found any reference to the material that follows on NMA, but it might make good fodder for a few of those ongoing arguments about the Great War of 2077 versus the capabilities of the real-world superpowers of the Fifties. Apologies for the huge post. These are the contents of the...

From CNN via BBoing, it's a Thanksgiving Day treat. Scorpions larger than a hoo-man. It's cheating a bit, since they lived underwater. Story at: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/11/20/biggest.bug.ap/index.html

Just posted the first pic to the gallery in Post Apoc Location Photos...pending mod approval. I need to finish scanning/cropping the rest. I'll also make up a graphic using one of the existing silo plans on the net, so you can see about where each image is taken. Expect to see those up in...

Not being an Urb Explo ninja, I went in with 2 friends, a cheap 35mm camera with 1000-speed film (but highest camera shutter speed only 400) and one flashlight. I would recommend you have more than 1 flashlight. That could have made for Darwin award level stupidity if anything went wrong. If...

This guy's blog has a bit on a Titan 1 silo complex in eastern Washington, near Moses Lake. You've seen silo shots before, but unlike most, this one has almost entirely exterior shots, and the terrain is pretty consistent with the look of the Fallout wasteland...

This brings up something I've been curious about. Not exactly relevant to the initial question, but I can't recall seeing it discussed. With regard to no AI controlled vehicles, now that there are sprite editors, is it possible (if tedious) to make new vehicle sprites as "actors" instead of...

Definitely use the version. There's no perspective in the FO artwork. I think there is a sticky in the FO Modding forum on correct angle for the isometric projection, and light source/shadow specs too. It strikes me that the outside of the hull would be very functional, so "style" might...

I read this on BldgBlog the other day. Here's the link to the post: http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/nawapa.html The Canada bit starts just after the 3rd image. A vast abandoned system of canals, pumps, dams, reservoirs, and massive underground waterways just shouts Fallout. As...

I put these into encounter map Y02 (desert with cactus) and looked close. I partly agree with Req, I think the tree-size tiles and the cholla look a little less "sharp" than the FOT tiles. Maybe you rendered them larger and resampled the images down? Perhaps also the greenery should have...

If you could either put it up, now I need to satisfy my curiosity. Or post who did it, or the filename, and I can see if I already have it.

Which mod is that in? I have most of them downloaded, but now I have so many I can't keep track of them... When I was goofing around with gun ENTs I thought the only way to do this was to set the weapon to the "rocket launcher" class, then customize the weapon sounds, ammo, etc. But I think...

Hopefully I'm not being too presumptuous by starting a new topic for this. I have worked out how to extract, view, edit, and modify the FOT Worldmap movement rates. Working had almost figured this out: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19513 ...but unfortunately he didn't...
