Fallout Tactics mod Open Fallout Mod

Hi All !

Thanks !

Here you can download last demo (English version), music arhive
Here is the dialog box (last version) screenshot, demo youtube

Demo Movie (YouTube):
ShadySands, Raiders, JunkTown, Vault13, Glow, Necropolis, Brotherhood, Military Base, Hub

P.S: Sorry for my bad English[/url]

 

This should be a lot of fun to play...will it have the RPG element?

 

Yes.
The first scenario ("Vault Dweller"), will copy the original Fallout 1.
(rpg element, dialogs, quest etc.) As far as possible (насколько это возможно)

 

I like the elevator button pop ups but I think you're missing out on one of the few improvements that FOT made over the rpgs. There's no need to script the change in areas, just build each location as a great big multistory map and let the player actually walk between areas or climb up/down the ladders etc.

 

google translate:
This was done in older versions. This is inconvenient, impractical and very heavy in the system.
(Так и было сделано в старых версиях. Это неудобно, непрактично и сильно нагружает систему.)

 

This is really nice!

Do you intend to use the Fallout 1 maps for others scenarios ?

I don't know why but I always thought the Ed character at the entrance of vault13 could make a good prequel to fallout1 (using the same maps).

Anyway, keep up the good work !

Rubbish none of the FO1 maps are that big. If computers could handle Quincy, Great Bend and Cheyenne Mountain ten years ago, modern systems could easily handle the Necropolis, Junktown or the Boneyard as single maps. OTB made an adventure set in the Hub as a single map years ago, it ran perfectly fine back then. I used his Sierra Army Depot map for Deathground seven years ago with very little slow down reported at the time.

Script changing locations just adds to what can go wrong, and wastes one of the few advantages of modding FOT instead of FO2.

 

I love watching those videos, can't wait to try this mod, downloading the demo.

 

I will use these maps in two more scenarios (Wasteland Guard & Invation)

I've already tried (in older versions of the mods) different ways of implementing the maps, including combined and multi-level maps.
Multi-level are very inconvenient to edit, and combined don't follow general Fallout approach
(you can say this has been discussed and concluded on fallout.ru site forum).

Bugs always happen (FOT engine is buggy itself), by I test and optimize my scripts extensively for more stable execution
(all bugs can be addressed with time, yet some may require creative approaches).

 

Slightly inconvenient maybe, a little bit of extra work yes but well worth it.

2d isometric and turn based are design decisions, small separate maps for each level and area are engine limitations.

Look I don't get the point of this mod, FOT is more limited than the rpg engine much more is hardcoded and requires more hacking to get around. Unless you are totally enamoured with changing your character sprite's colour or being able to change your stance then why are you wasting your time recreating the engine limitations of the older engine and ignoring the one thing that FOT does that neither of the Fallout rpgs can?

 

It's such a conception. Remake of F1 at the FOT engine with the addition of tactical and role-playing elements.

Implementing tactics on maps F1 - time-consuming exercise, but I hope that from this something will be released.

One-level maps(no sub-levels) - no good idea, because of this affects the role part of the game.

The division into sub-levels - not just a whim but a necessity in this case.

Good luck!

 

How much of this mod has been completed? Looks very interesting.

Best of luck 2hmt

 

I really like working with FOT engine (very good mental exercise)
Current version is more of an archive for debugging and testing the engine, and not a full demo version
(that's why I didn't want this topic to go outside fallout.ru before the alpha version is ready).
Yes, I spend MY time for this development, and I like the result, and I like what I'm doing.
The rest doesn't really matter

I work on this code alone in my spare time, and I don't have as much of it as I want. That's why
I can't really give any completion estimates. Writing and scripting the dialogue component takes
a lot of time. That's why I already working on creating simple tools. It's unfortunate that my possibilities
are limited, and don't have any technical information about the 'trg' and 'spe' files structure.

 

Hi 2hmt

Why do you need the information about files of "trg" type? Are you going to create an application for merging trg files?

I would like to suggest that we should make use of all possibilities which FOT engine give us.

 

Hi.

to create a dialogue in the game I need a script editor to work with `trg` & `spe` files.
(edit, copy, create, delete, merge, etc.) I want to create it. (С++)

 

Great work!

An application merging trg files has already been created by 'Ryuga'.
Links to his topics:
Loading trigger files without overriding existing ones
FoT Trigger File Combining Tool

I can provide an additional information about trigger data sections, if you would need my help.

SPE file format shouldn't cause any problem.

 

Thanks !

Very, very nice work !
Now FTactics can be turned into a full RPG

Can't wait to see your next videos!
