Fallout 2 mod Fallout: Nevada (extended)

Perhaps someone could help me. I'm a long fan of the Fallout franchise but I had no idea there were mods for it. Completely blew me away. I've seen a couple of clips on youtube of Fallout Nevada and I fancy playing it myself. I tried to download it from the link in this forum thread and my computer seems to recognize it as a virus and therefore rejects downloading it. Obviously, I'm hesitant to download a potential virus. Can someone assist me? Is there a "clean" download or can someone help me with the download?

 

And what kind of antivirus do you have?
I understand your concerns, but some antiviruses (for example 360ts, and some others) may react to the installer itself, because it does not have a signature or react to sfall (ddraw.dll - this file is an important part of the work of almost any mod). If in doubt, send the mod to VT for verification. Even in the installer, even unpacked.
In addition, the repositories themselves also check files for viruses, and would mark the mod as suspicious. In general, false positive response.

 

Cheers for the response _Pyran_ I have Avast. So the download should be fine? Might just disable it temporarily and see.

 

You can add a mod to the antivirus exception. If the antivirus is configured for maximum protection, this increases the chance of false detection. If in doubt, you can run the game in the windows sandbox or in a separate sandboxie.

 

It says this. Something about Win 32...? Any advice?

 

...from VT / Using 360ts, as an example, at maximum protection, it sees the trojan, but it's not there. I can send an unpacked version if in doubt.

 

Cheers! its downloaded fine but its in Russian...? Do I need to do something to turn it into english? I thought the link on the page 1 was the english translation...?

Actually ignore me - I installed the damn thing IN Russian... derpy me

 

There are 2 languages, English should have opened automatically. When selecting components, select: "Английский язык"
_Russian, only for the system in Russian. In the next update, I will enable manual language selection._

 

Nope, its my bad. I installed the darn thing in Russian. Works like a charm. Fantastic mod! By the way are there companions in this? Just so I know if CHA is a dump stat or not?

 

No companions, but Charisma is used a bit (for example you can perform in a jazz band or work as a stripper in Reno).

You don't have to invest into it, but don't dump it completely. With a late game permanent Charisma bonus point + a combination of Mentats and a new drug you can pass all relevant checks with a base 5 if I remember correctly.

 

A few temporary traveling companions.
There is a mod for party members, but it has not been added yet. I will add it later, at the next update.

 

Awesome! Cheers everyone for the assist
