I've made a quick update to sfall to make dx9 mode compatible with your patch. I've been playing with sfall set to 1280x1024 and the in game resolution set to 800x600, and haven't notice any problems that you haven't already covered in your readme. I don't have time to test windowed mode right now though...

Nice work anyway. I was wondering what mod you were working on that required a dll. :) Sorry I didn't respond to your request for sfall to load dll's; I do still intend to do it once my exams are over.

Now you just need to find someone to alter every single one of the maps to add some landscape outside of the normal borders. :P
 
Small question from me: Would it be possible to upscale the screen resolution without dx9 mode? Because, I want to change completely to Ubuntu but for Fallout modding I need to install a virtual machine (because Sfall will not work with Wine, of course). The game works fine and so on, but I can only run it in a small 640x480px window. If I change my desktop resolution to 640x480px, everything is ok, but I don't want to change the resolution everytime.

The virtual machine doesn't support dx9 as far as I can see, so the game crashs, if I start it.

Global.fx will not work with this plus SFall:

Neither does software scaling, or the load_shader script function; I just did the bare minimum to get dx9 mode working for those who need it to fix the black screen bug. The non-essential extras can wait.
 
actually, i just clicked "open with" and choose winrar and it worked. weird. thanks anyway! can't wait to try it out!!!

cheers!
 
This is a most excellent mod, can we hope for a Mapper2.exe version? Especially since the Mapper is just like the game in that it has one large interface bar placed at the bottom, covering about 1/5 of the screen's height, same size as the in-game one.

The Mapper is on my list. :)
At the moment I'm working on making my fallout2 patch compatible with the UK 1.02e and the French and German 1.02d versions. I've also made a start on a fallout1 resolution patch. Things have been progressing smoothly enough but I'm not going to give out any ETAs at the moment.
 
awesome job !! Ill try it asap on my 24 inch 1920*1200 tft, god i cant imagine playing this game on my hd television soon hrhr :)
