Which is better for creating a single player tc? Fonline SDK or F2 mod tools.

I have been thinking of making a total conversion mod for fallout 2 but I'm very new to modding. I have been wondering if Fonline is easier for making these kinds of mods. Or if I should just use the modding tools for fallout 2.

Both aren't easy for beginners. Fallout 2 has the easier script language. FOnline uses AngelScript, which is a bit like C++ or something. Fallout 2 has more limitations such as map size, amount of colors in graphics, etc. while FOnline has not. In Fo2 you do everything in script (dialog, interactions, etc.) while FOnline has a separate dialog editor with a tree-view.

Me personally, I'd stick to Fo2, as the mapper is less of a clusterfuck and we have a pretty good script editor by now. Also you can use any original script as a reference for something you'd like to do. Thanks to Sfall, there are also a lot less limitations than 10 years ago.

Well, Fonline engine, aside from stuck 3d project, have an obvious coop function, so you can play with friends. Also, i thought about making something like megamod, based on reloaded server files. May include Fallout of Nevada or even Tactics content as well.
Anyways, it's an only way to play good old fallout online, if desired.

Sure, but the question was, which one is easier to work with.
