On "The Vault" Fallout wiki, some of the weapons (such as the gauss weapons) have pictures of both their Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics versions, but many of the weapons don't. The Good Old Games version of Fallout Tactics came with a collection of good quality item pictures (stimpacks, that...

I tried the "custom mission" option in Fallout Tactics, and was surprised to see that rather than just being for loading custom missions downloaded off the internet, it appeared to actually already include some missions... they looked like they were multiplayer missions, that could be playing...

Ha, you're the guy that actually made the patch! Great to hear my game is working as intended, many thanks. :D (Since I live in the UK I never got to play the game with children, so I couldn't be sure they were behaving correctly.)

I'm playing the version of Fallout 1 released by Good Old Games, which is actually the UK childless version of the game. (For Fallout 2 apparently they used the US one which has children.) When I first started I didn't realise, and I patched the game with various unoffical patches and fixes...

Well, in Fallout tactics there was the MEC Gauss Minigun, a Chinese weapon designed to counter US power armored soldiers. If they had gauss miniguns it is far to assume they had gauss rifles too. (The canonicity of Fallout Tactics stuff is uncertain. Some stuff, like the lack of 1950s style...

In the normal fallout discussion section I've asked exactly that question, what does EC stand for. Occured to be it could be "Electron Charge", like the Electron Charge Packs used for the gatling laser! I've modded the game so the gauss uses EC Packs instead of microfusion cells.

Good news! In a day or two I am releasing a mod, "Laser, Plasma, Pulse and Gauss: Energy Weapons are Serious Business". It makes energy ammo make much more sense. :) Both the laser rifle and plasma rifle have an ammo capacity of 24, but the plasma rifle uses two ammo per shot, so you get 12...

I'm pretty sure it was a joke. Unless you also believe that the Bethesda development team rides around on horses.

This has bugged me ever since I first played Fallout 2, since I didn't recall seing an in-game description anywhere. What does the EC stand for? ElectroConducting? It's just that it occured to me that Fallout 3 has EC Packs - Electron Charge Packs - that are ammo for the Gatling Laser...

Not necessarily - I recall reading that the next expansion, "the Pitts", is all about two factions and moral grey areas, and "choose your side". I expect there will still be some shooting, but I also expect lots of chatting and exploring, before you "choose your side". So, I reckon Operation...

jmarsh07's problem was that he installed the wrong version of the mod. There's a version that doesn't replace any of the normal rifles, and instead puts them in the museum. That's the one he wanted, but instead he installed the one that replaces regular laser rifles.

Wow, do you actually find it comfortable to play at 1920x1200 resolution on a 24 inch screen? I've got a 28 inch screen, and I found even 1680x1050 to make the characters and text to small for easy viewing. At 1920x1200 people become almost as small as in a Command & Conquer game, and the...

Oops! It turns out that I DO get a 1440x900 resolution option! It's just that for some bizarre reason all the 1440x resolutions (x32 and x16) are at the end of the resolution list, after 1920x1200x16. I'm now playing in 1440x900x32, and it is great, perfect balance between size and...

Ah, fair enough. Though my windows display options do give me a 1440x900 option, I'm guessing Fallout Tactics - or my graphics card, or something - doesn't like that particular resolution. No biggie, I'm happy with 1280x800. :) That's still higher resolution than the original game (without...

Excellent work! And perfect timing, cause I just bought Fallout Tactics a few days ago from Good Old Games. Only had time to do the tutorial so far. Was planning on starting the game tomorrow, and what do you know, now there's a high res patch! Great! Any chance of a 1440x900 16:10...

Ah, I tried using acm2wav to convert the sounds but I can't seem to convert multiple files. I think %i is supposed to be a wildcard that stands for multiple files, and the instructions say to use acm2wav %i -m but when I try that it says "converting %i to %i.wav" and then Error: File not found...

I'd like to use some original Fallout 1 and 2 weapon sound effects in Fallout 3, but I've encoutnered some problems converting them. I used ACMConv to convert all the Fallout 2 sounds to wav files, but when I try playing them they are immensely sped up. Of course, I could manually slow the...

A notice to everyone: his mod kicks arse. :) Oh, and I agree with you about the seperate helmet thing. I love wearing classic stylish hats, and often choose to wear one regardless of the rest of my outfit. So I go around in power armour and a fedora hat. 8-) Plus I recall in Fallout 1...

If you use the "Seducing Women" mod on Fallout 3 Nexus, LadyKiller actually serves a purpose and does become about sex. ;) It gives players with LadyKiller perk extra dialogue options when speaking to some other female characters in the game. Specifically, you can try a tricky speech...

Well, I the term "re-imagination" might suggest something like the new version of Battlestar Galactica, which is only very loosely based on the old 70s TV series. In terms of story and "significant locations" I'd like a remake of Fallout 1 to be pretty close to the original - the fact that it is...
