Fallout 2 mod Megamod version 2.47 Bug Reports and Suggestions

Be skeptical. But don't assume. It's not wise to make assumptions about a mod being inactive when the modder is still posting in a thread for a mod that he's been working on for... Whoa... 19 years already. (Dang, where does the time go?)
Unless I die suddenly, I promise I'll make an announcement about this mod when I've decided to stop working on it for good.

 

I'm not going anywhere... I'm charmed!

Today I started to tackle the new EPA again. Ugh, what a pain that is to continue with. I have to continue to find all the new art and delete it in one mapper program. Then I have to open the map in the other mapper and add it all in on the other one. And, if just one piece is left on, then I have to go back to the first mapper and scour the map until I find the artwork, or else I can't open the map in the second mapper. This was the headache I put on pause before the pandemic. Big fun...

 

You rebuilt it... again?

I hate you... so very, very much.

Obviously, I'm just kidding. Probably going to stick with your earlier version. I already have pages of notes. And I already removed a lot of the artwork. I've already recreated your artwork as new protos in the MM. The hardest part is just trying to pick out/notice every new part (like the 20 variations of bone piles, for example).

 

Check the very first post of this thread.

 

Even if I cared what anybody else does to make changes to my mod after they have it, I'd be in no position to do anything about it. But, really, I absolutely do not care what changes anyone makes. I make the mod I want to play. That's it.

That said: @_Pyran_ , you can make anything you want optional. Really. You are the one who's been dealing with the headache of making an installer. So, if you want to make things optional once I give you the link to all the files, then please feel free to do so. Easy to do if the change is governed by a single global or hook script. Otherwise, it may mean getting earlier versions of scripts to include in an installer. That may come at a cost, though. Simple example: an earlier version of dcsmitty will have the old car price, but it may not have the talking head or the code for some other quest, option, or fix.

By the way: The script for the car breaking down is, maybe-not-so-surprisingly, gl_breakdown.int.

 

Yes, that is correct. I think the creators of that mod figured that the player should have some skill with/knowledge of that weapon (which requires throwing and melee skill) in order to improve it.

And just to keep everyone posted: I have finished rebuilding some new EPA maps which were made by Lexx. I am now in the process of updating all the new/updated scripts. No guarantees on the timeline. Hopefully, I'll have that new version out by the beginning of July.

 

Ah! Credit where credit is due! Yes, sorry, I did, in fact, mean .Pixote..

Not his latest latest. But, I do have a version which is different than the one created by Chris Parks. So, the exterior map is different. There is also a different underground level. And the main maps were slightly updated with some new scenery. Those are now all ready to go, with the exception of updating all the scripts to fit the MM. That sounds so weird, I know... that I now only have to deal with the scripts. But, really, that's not too complicated.

Edit: Oops. I forgot some. 38 down... about 65 left...
68 down... about 40 left...
5 scripts left... still have to review texts, but that should be easy... I'm sure I'll have to re-add scripts to the new maps, since there are some new script numbers. Still, I think I'll have this newer EPA in the MM in a release in July.

Now I need to figure out what to do with the old maps... the exterior site and the old warehouse. I have no intention of just throwing them out and not using them. Hmmm...

 

Changing the game speed won't affect the time you have to complete tasks/missions.

And, there is enough to do in Arroyo and at that shack to get the karma you need and return without having to go anywhere else.
