Lexx has released version 1.8 of Fallout et tu, the mod that let's you play Fallout 1 in Fallout 2's engine. For more info go to this thread.

The new update comes with a lengthy changelog. I particularly look forward to seeing the new optional visuals for the forcefields and the new interface effects. But there's also some nice new additions like expanded endings.

Here's what Lexx has to say about the update:

Lexx said:
This time a bit faster than the last release. v1.8 comes with a couple restored characters, lots of minor fixes, lots of minor tweaks, we brought back more Fo1 interface effects (all the clicking sfx on the worldmap - in vanilla Fo2, none of those exist), and there's some party member balance changes (less +skills and hitpoints per level up, which helps balancing the game some more. Keep in mind that vanilla Fo1 party members couldn't level up at all).

I've also decided to finally release the Expanded Endings-option. I am sitting on the files for over a year now and never had the time to finish it. With the help of Tagaziel and The Dutch Ghost, we've added 15 new possible ending slides to cover all major events in the game, including what happens to currently active party members. The reason why I've been sitting on those files for so long is because I didn't had the time to finish the actual ending slide graphics (still don't, but I finally wanted to release it anyways). If someone feels motivated to help getting this 100% done, and is able to create vanilla Fo1 style ending slide images, feel free to reach out to me.

Note: The expanded slides are disabled by default, but can be enabled at any time. You can save the game shortly before finishing it, watch the vanilla slides, then enable the option, reload your savegame and see the ending again.

There's also a new mini-mod, made by @.Pixote. - Alternative Force Field graphics:

When enabled, this mod will swap the vanilla yellow and red force fields to new, animated ones. They look pretty cool, I got used to them quickly and can't without it anymore now.

Ok, that's it. Got nothing more to say. Peace out.

Sfall has been updated to version 4.3.6

In a way I had already signed up to your idea of Fallout 22 as I had been playing 1 and 2 plus conversions 1.5 resurrection, then had asked on here about installation of Nevada which you and other guys (pyran) had helped me with. NV would have been a chore as I had played on most difficult level. Tactics I only bought recently. Sooner or later I do want to install et tu.

What I think would be a great help would be a guide or a pointer to already existing guides to mod up say Fallout 1 were the best method was explained.

I have no interest with starting extras or over powered armour/weapons. Just ways not to mess up by installing mods that may clash.
