Megamod 2.43 technical issues and suggestions

@the people with burst mode == 0 damage :

the scripts in "add this for a challenge" are installed?

those are part of a mod i wrote,just wondering,if they are,i will fix it

Nirran

 

no, I didn't use anything from that folder

BTW - what do these files are supossed to do?

 

total re-write of the combat damage routine,i wrote because of adding perks that add damage, resistance etc,my custom perks mod mainly,but a few others too

in that case it is most likely an sfall thing,play around with this setting in ddraw.ini

Code:

;Choose the damage formula used to calculate combat damage.
;Don't set this to anything other than 0 unless another mod you're using explicitly tells you to!
;0 - Fallout default
;1 - Glovz's Damage Fix
;5 - Haenlomal's Yet Another Ammo Mod.
DamageFormula=0

ok I'll try it out and report tomorrow

 

I tried to change settings in that line, without result.

I guess the problem with burst mode lies in the hs_combatdamage.int file in scripts folder - I deleted it and everything works fine (I don't get almost permanent "no damage" when using burst weapon anymore).

Will the deletion of that file cause the lost of any special feature of gameplay?

 

no,it is specific for my mods,now i ask is hs_tohit.int in you scripts folder?

Nirran

 

it's not there...

 

that is why you dont have burst damage,the script needs a var from that file

Nirran

 

Good thing this burst mode problem got resolved.

For my older reports:

Skeeter - hmm... my error stopped now that the game progressed. It disappeared after the Gecko Enclave encouter though IDK if those 2 were related. Strange... I can talk to him normally now. I also had this freeze once with the molotov cocktail in Mr Fixit and once (but this eventually ended) when the doctor at Vault 14 was healing me.

Broken Hills - it's not in the tunnels, it's also in the town (but only the eastern part), and not related to damage, the air purifier in BH is fixed.

New feedback on potential bugs:

1. After the Doctor in Vault 14 made me an armor for Marcus there was a cutscene, Marcus changed appearance and after his last quote which was "Eh! And why is it that the player hasn't taken advantage of the new armor animation?" he changed back to his vanilla looks. Now I don't have neither the armor nor there's any change in Marcus' stats. Is that how it's supposed to go?

2. Pretty minor stuff. Some dialog choices in Vault 14 don't start with a capital letter.

3. He he... this was rather advantageus but I suppose it was left there by mistake. There is a power armor and some grenades lying on the ground in plain sight at the entrance to Vault 15 map.

4. Gorris left my party to return to V13. However if I go to either Guardian of Forever (by Taxi) or to EPA (possibly some more locations but it occured in these 2 till now) he is in my party again.

5. The Enclave patrol that now is sent to Gecko. They seemed to be cloned, standing 2 guys in the same spot if I chose to battle. If I don't combat them then there's only one Enclave guy left and he is starting his dialog anew in a loop unless I kill him. And he has 6 gauss pistols on himself.

Good luck in making the mod!

 

Marcus' stats - I can see them in combat mode when manually controlling the party via ddraw.ini settings. The HP, AC etc. are the same before and after the encounter.

The Enclave guys - I was level 99 and there were 8 of them. The dialog started. When I told them I don't know anything they were all gone except for one soldier. Then the same dialogue starts and on and on until I chose to fight him. If I chose to fight them in the first place there seems to be actually 16 of them (2 guys standing in one hex, when one moves the other is still there). Hope this helps.

 

Hey all!

Is there a setting I can select that causes my party members' avatars to reflect what armor they are wearing? Right now, they always walk around with their default avs, but their avs do reflect which weapon they are carrying.

Thanks!

 

Thanks!

I asked because I thought I saw an answer when I looked thu this thread a couple days ago, but I couldn't find the specific post this morning.

I'm really enjoying the Megamod and appreciate all the work you've put into it.

 

Slaver Camp - still the same bug in my opinion or something is not finishing yet.

If you go there for Sulik sister - you talk with Dan or Don - and if you have HIGH Speech, he give you the key to unlock the door. He give you permission to take some SLAVES and give Metzger best regards.

Nice - but this completely not working - you must kill all slavers to rescue Sulik sister. The Question is: Why this option in dialog exist???

Secundo: When I killed Don or Dan I saw text from EPA.

In the left corner of the map is two morons with Assalut Rifles guarding the Slaves - if you kill them, one of this weapon cause CTD (Moron with Metal Armor I think) - If you want to use the weapon or you give to another Character exp. Sulik - CTD

Also if you open the Cage with the Slaves sometimes CTD when they escape - I always go up and its oki.

 

Marcus' armor issue - I fixed it like this (v14dowsn.int):

Code:

if (Complex_Float_Stage == 14) then begin
	gfade_out(600);
	rm_timer_event(self_obj);
	Complex_Float_Stage := 0;
	set_global_var(398, 0);
	anim(self_obj, 1000, 3);
	gfade_in(600);
	animate_move_obj_to_tile(party_member_obj(16777377), 24326, 0);
	anim(party_member_obj(16777377), 1000, 3);
	game_ui_enable;
	float_msg(party_member_obj(16777377), message_str(1594, 210), 7);
	start_gdialog(1594, self_obj, 4, -1, -1);
	gsay_start;
	call Node043;
	gsay_end;
	end_dialogue;
end

instead of what was in this script part. I also noticed there is an older unused version called v14dowson.int and it has different variables being changed. The one that corresponds to Marcus having armor is var 777=1 in the newer script and 762=4 in the old one. In the older (original?) version this makes him don't say the line "I don't wear armor...." after he gets one but it is bugged as changing var 762=4 makes the game exit to title after a few seconds. :/

Hope this helps.

 

I just recently discovered all the fascinating mods for this great old game and am now playing the Megamod for the first time. Looks great so far!

However, there are a few minor things that I have noticed.

* The gecko skinning perk seems broken. I learned it from Smiley after rescuing him from the toxic caves and it is present in my character information. But I can´t skin any geckos. I tried little geckos, tough little geckos and golden geckos. None work.

* The pipboy and jumpsuit seems to have been removed, cause I did not get it after completing the temple of Trials. Is this intended or is it a bug?

* In Klamath, first time you enter the Golden Gecko, there is a floating text (over the new midget?) saying something like "you there, in the blue jumpsuit". That comment seems a bit off, since the PC hadn´t got the jumpsuit and was still wearing the tribal clothes.

* There are references to the pipboy being used despite the PC not having it (yet?). I could download the information from the black box at the crashed helicopter and the new guy in Vicks house could use it to point out where he comes from on the pipboy map. But the PC has no pipboy...

* On a personal note, I would like to suggest that the PC should recieve the pipboy and jumpsuit after completing the temple of trials, just like in the original game. Playing without the pipboy is a bit awkward, IMO, since it is impossible to rest and you can´t acces any of the information usually accessed through the pipboy.
