Fallout 2 mod Unofficial Fo2 patch thread - problems, reports, suggestions

I have following problem with official 1.02d patch and Killaps unofficial patch A. I can't enter NCR, the game crashes every time. If I delete the patch000.dat, I can't load saves anymore. Any solutions?

 

You're not supposed to use the unofficial patch with patch000.dat. If you delete it your previous savegames won't work - you'll need to restart your game.

 

Yeah... start a new game without patch000.dat in your FO2 directory. You cant load the saves for a good reason.

 

Yes, please read the readme next time. I include it for a reason...sigh.

 

Klint's buggy taunts

Per locked the old thread, so I'm bringin' it over here.

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

So, I was able to get dialogue specific to the leg when I hit Klint. I am not quite sure why you were only seeing him talk about his face. He should be using (and appears to) the generic male combat taunts.

If this is indeed an issue, it reminds me of the problem with Horrigan and targeted shots. Shots to any part of his body result in the message window saying his chest plate getting crushed when in fact you may have hit him in the head, leg, groin, etc. He has specific text for each target area, but it is not being displayed...I guess in addition to the too many items bugs the Horrigan issue is another confirmed bug I am unable to fix. Though at the moment I am unable to find my text file containing bugs I could not fix, I believe these are the only two left. I had a few others, but thanks to the work of Timeslip I was able to fix them.

 

Hi killap, i read in the previous topic about your f2 patch that it was done and you would release it together with your expansion , will you also release a stand alone upgrade ?

In any case thx for this great wortk youre doing on those patches. Reinstalled fallout1 and will play all the games all over again untill f3 release

After xcom the best game series ever!

 

Yes, a separate update to my patch will be released. My expansion includes all my fixes but I will obviously keep two separate version for those who just want to use my fixes.

In addition some things I had added to my patch (zip gun, phazer, biology corpse, bug parts quest, continual cattle runs with Duppo in NCR, etc) are going to be removed from the patch release and only exist in the expansion. This way the patch release is truly only bug fixes and essentially no new content will exist in it. (Technically there is some "new" content since I may have had to create one dialog line for something that was broken.)

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

I got it again, I have a pic where Klint gets a spear to his groin (ouch, but still) and his taunt complain about his face, but I don't know how to post pics.

Also, I've just played through the game with stupid (using just the official patch), and it has many bugs that are not noticeable in normal play.

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

Does he ONLY complain about his face or have you seen him complain about other body parts?

It is probable. There were many bugs that I fixed that only would occur to stupid players. Since you are not running my patch I cannot help you since the issues you describe may already be fixed by me. Do a playthrough using my patch and then I can address the bugs.

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

Yeah, sometimes he's quit. Only once he yelled about his face.

Well actually I was/am going to do that, but I constantly keep postponing awaiting your final patch that fixes those previously thought unfixable problems.

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

Ah, ok fair enough. At the moment I am (or rather need to) prepare for the new University semester beginning at the end of this month.

The second beta of my expansion was sent to the testers a few days ago. The only things missing from it is the inside to the Hubologist shuttle and the Shi submarine. The submarine is currently in production by Chris Parks but I believe he is waiting on graphics. I want to include the sub (which I will modify to my liking like I did with his EPA, etc) before I release it. If it takes too long, however, I will probably just release my expansion.

As for my patch, I have fixed all my previous unfixable issues (except the too many items bug and random crashes) as well as all the other reports that came in since my June 11th release. At the moment, I am currently waiting for RyanFialcowitz to send me all the dialog corrections he has made. Apparently he is going through every file by hand and correcting typos (which my spell checker did not pick up) and making consistencies. Before we go off on the tangent about these dialog changes, remember that I shall go through the changes he makes and make a decision on what to include. I could probably go ahead and release it since dialog fixes are not a major priority, but this is supposed to be my last patch release (I really want it to be) so I want to cram as much in as possible. In addition, I am working on the installer which I have not completed yet. Plus, you never know if other issues will be reported in this time.

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

But are you planning to fix the stupid game bugs?

So, you're giving me no choice but to play through stupid with your old outdated patch, right?

Here are some of the bugs: the many dialogue dots are to the right, idiot called everywhere "idjit", the kids in the Den do not steal, no possibility to pass the game further than Arroyo-Klamath-Den...

What anout Klint's problem?

 

Hi!

Just registered (been on background for year or so) to say thanks to killap for this awesome work of art.

Just one thing.. and don't flame me for being total n00b

I get like million "you have received small dose of radiation" (or something similiar) messages when wandering in world map.. is this bug or normal behaviour?

Looking forward for your expansion.. not playing the game until it's out

 

Re: Klint's buggy taunts

It is not packaged up yet so, yes. Just report all the issues you find and I will check if I already fixed it. Honestly, I think I fixed 1-2 dumb character bugs in my latest (not yet out) release. All the other ones I found are already fixed in my June 11th patch. (there were quite a few)

What do you mean?

I have noticed that in many places of the game both as a dumb character and not. Not a bug but a "humorous" spelling of the word. I believe many people in the southern United States pronounce it like that.

Hmm...never played much as a dumb character, so I never noticed this. I will investigate. Perhaps the devs wanted some lenience for dumb characters? I did notice this to be the case in several areas of the game.

Umm, what? I am pretty sure you can beat the entire game as a dumb character. Each town has NPCs that can talk to you if you are dumb, specifically the core ones.

I haven't really looked into it to closely. Honestly there is no reason for it to happen and if it is really an issue, I wouldn't really know how to address it.

No, definitely not normal. I have never heard of this issue before. Umm, you started a fresh game when installing my patch? You see the rock behind Klint at the temple entrance?

 

Yes on both counts.. that radiation thing appeared with another character and I don't have those savegame files anymore.. I could try to reproduce it. The strange thing was that it happened only after I had visited Den.. not before that.

but... I'll inform you if I manage to reproduce it with this char.
