I'm not sure if TH and Armoured Talking Heads are compatible just in case overwrite TH with Armoured Talking Heads
this is at least especially the case for Vic, as he normally doesn't have one and is taken into account in both cases, and there are some minor conflicts with ecco mod and F2 Mechanics Rework Mini Mod, which are fixableby adjusting some settings in both ecco and the mini rework mod and yeah and update your RPU installer 2.4 is probably outdated.

thanks for the response, this is the latest stable released installer, should i download directly from the master branch?

oh and thanks for the upscalled vids, not sure how to install them in fallout 2 though, im thinking about extracting them from the master.dat using dat explorer and putting them in a movies folder at the root or in an ART/CUTS folder like in fo1in2

 

[gustarballs1983]

just drop them to <gameroot>/data/art/cuts

fo1in2 path is a bit different, since it's a bit more complicated mod

pure Fallout 2 should be plain and simple..

just set ddraw.ini accordingly:

AllowDShowMovies=1

SingleCore=0

and put the video files in the right folder.. if this does not work, you may also try unpacking the original .mve files and puting them alongside the remastered videos.. this sometimes helps..

yeah so first up thanks for the advice with the videos, will try what you say

second up, should i download RPU directly from the master branch? i noticed the release is old af

U ever figure out why ur filezilla server was crashing?

u mean it's crashing on you agin?

as far as i'm aware FTP has been stabile for few days now.. i can easily access it..
though it ocasionally happens that my router does poop and FTP server crashes once every few days, so file zilla probably wouldn't be able to access it then, however i don't see there to be an issue, at least no one else bothered to mention anything in my upscales thread..

awww.. fuck... it went into their github and looked myself.. You've already got the latest release they just changed the naming scheme few releases back..
so 2.4.32 is the latest one as of present.. i know it dates back to 2024, yet remember the game itself dates back to 1998.. So don't worry perhaps no one managed to find more bugs? or perhaps BGForge got himslef caught by the draft and went to war with Ukraine :p

EDIT:
as for the FileZilla functionality of the FTP i'm going to check this after easter.. currently my bro ocupies the home network as his private home-office to his work in UK, that's for everything his laptop and all of his data traffic on his smartphone, and since his laptop was recently recovered from brick state that I accidentally put it in.. I'm in no position to brag..

Well there have been quite a few updates.... Latest one 2 days ago..... Depends if ur looking at the fork: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project Or the one from phobos https://github.com/phobos2077/Fallout2_Restoration_Project

The fork seems to be the real deal and that seems to be the original now used as a back up.

BGForge last commit april 5

well Phobos probably uses the new updated and enhanced maps by our member Pixote.. probably that's why stuff is still hot in there.. however majority of the bugs have been solved long time ago, and the most recent updates maybe tweaks & polishing

Yeah RPU did integrate the maps but other then the changelog it was not comunicated. Will prob use the zip with all its tweaks since the release is so old.
