Richwizard said:Fallout 1 is good to go, as long as you have the latest official version which is 1.1. Other mods can be added to your taste, but the game is perfectly playable.
The official version of Fallout 2 is broken as hell. It has hundreds, maybe thousands of glitches that were never fixed by Interplay, even with their patches. This is probably due to much of the game's content being cut before it was even completed. Thanks to Killap, however, this is no longer a problem. He has created a massive patch that took a couple of years to finish. It fixes the published game. He has also created the "Fallout 2 Restoration Project". This is an endeavor by Killap and others to restore all the aforemention cut/incomplete content, which was still crammed into the game's code. It adds many quests and new locations to the wasteland.
You can find both of these HERE.
To use either you should have the latest official version of FO2, version 1.02, which you probably do. Then use either the patch OR the FO2RP, not both. The patch is incorporated into the RP. There is one minor thing worth noting about the FO2RP. The content that they wanted to restore is complete. But, there are a few minor bugs left in the RP and Killap is working when he can to squash them. None of these bugs are game breaking, however. The next update will likely be the final one for the full English language version. The only update planned after that will be putting multilingual support back into the game.
Once again, other mods can be added to your taste, but either Killap's patch or the Restoration Project will give you a complete, playable FO2 game.
Check out my mod if you're having color problems. It includes the f1 high res mod which if run @ 16bit fixes the issue, and also includes two utilities that can also be used for fixing the colors issue.Random Turnip said:Sorry to double post. I tried running Fallout 1 vanilla, it works, but i have the "rainbow colours" problem. I've googled but the things i tried don't seem to have made any difference.
Killap's mod works great in F2, looks brill.

Thanks for that. The default Fallout install is v1.2, so presumably I don't need "official 1.1" and "TeamX 1.2"? "sfall/timeslip" appears to be a mod for Fallout 2, not 1, according to the official webpage. And those dialogue fixes would be great - there're so many errors (like the Enforcers saying, "Wha'da want?" instead of, "Wha'd'ya want?" or similar). So please upload those if you can.Sduibek said:Anyway, if you don't go that route, you'd want:
official 1.1
TeamX 1.2
TeamX 1.3.5
sfall/timeslip

optionally you could get nimrod's dialog fixes, but i don't have a link to that at the moment. it's on a backup drive somewhere though...
The "compressed patch file" must be the file I downloaded: Fallout_1_TeamX_Patch_ENG_1.2w.zipCopy compressed patch file into the directory that Fallout is installed to. Decompress patch using proper file decompression program such as UnRAR or WinRAR version 3.30+. Be sure extract the files using the option to include subdirectories. Answer 'Yes' when prompted to overwrite existing files.
Totally agree. If we get this sorted together, I'll post a link on the Fallout page at PortingTeam (or even better, ask the wrapper maintainer to add it to his description) directing them to a walkthrough or whatever here at NMA.I'd like to include any mac/wine info along with my mod, what info exists anyway. I don't use either myself, but the more info the better for users/players
Windows will merge them by default, does your OS not do this?Norm_Hull said:data (folder) would be over-written by the patch's DATA (folder) - this is bad. Sad In doing so, I'd lose over 300MB of game files, including my saved games.
cp -rp (drag-and-drop the files to add) (drag-and-drop the destination folder then press RETURN)
cp -rp /(wherever you unarchived)/DATA /(the path down)/GSP/Fallout
