Hi everyone. As I can't publish a resource for some reason (no permissions?), I've decided to make a normal thread for it. Maybe some other time I can create a resource(?).
This program patches the engine of the MS-DOS executable of Fallout 1 v1.2 with patches from TeamX, Fallout Fixt, and Crafty's sFall1/sFall, all optional and configurable in an INI file.
I know the DOS version is not very much used, but some people like me still need it because maybe the computer doesn't support Wine, or (in my case) the handheld device is too slow to emulate Windows 9x and run Fallout 1 on top of it (in my case the tablet already lags a bit while playing the initial movies with the DOS EXE!). So this enables those that need this EXE to use the patches that the Windows players can (at least some of them).
It's very easy to prepare, and the instructions are in a ZIP along with 3 other files: an installer that installs a loader into the game EXE and does some minor mandatory modifications to it, and a BIN and an INI file, which are the patcher itself.
I'd like to have included High Res Patch's Fog Of War (my most wanted feature), but the source is not public (cool...), so I could not do it... Maybe some time I try to go see the hard way how it was done.
EDIT: the source was released! Though I still cannot port FOW... It doesn't work when I port it, for some reason...
Hope it's useful to someone else!
Unrelated note: Fallout Fixt can also be run on DOS, alongside with this, just like it can with sFall1 on Windows (if you'd like that, check this post of mine: https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/fallout-fixt-in-dosbox.216521/#post-4458973).
Link for F1DP's downloads (on GitHub): https://github.com/DADi590/F1DP/releases.
Note: this is a modification to update the engine only, because other patches (SSL files and whatever other things), just copy them and they will work normally - Fixt works, so...
