So all modding would've been different and much easier if they'd made the game open-source?

@MIB88 When you release the next update, just be sure to mention your future plans so I know what to implement. It's tempting to give it another play, but my Windows installation has become unbootable in a freak partitioning accident. Might do when I get around to fixing that.

On many occasions modders are saying that certain things are "impossible" to change, or in the engine. But there are mods which work by changing the engine, e.g. Mr. Fixit. What is going on? Is it that changing the engine is possible but difficult because it depends on a lot of code, or is it...

That's all cool and I'm going to try it, but my main problem is that it changes too much. I consider something like Killap's RP not too much, but Redux is far from that.

Glad to see this mod is still alive, I played it several years ago and loved it. I really like the idea. I'd like to volunteer any programming help if that is needed. But I've never programmed for Fallout before, hopefully tool setup won't be too time-consuming. Can refactor messy code, write...

Hi all, been away for a while. I've decided to make another attempt to finish FOT. From reading the changelogs for Redux, it seems that the game would benefit HUGELY from a bugfix / balance mod - whole sections of the game are inaccessible by bugs but otherwise fully working, imbalances...

Thanks a lot! I thought I won't get a reply anymore, because people could think I'm not keeping track of the thread, now that some time has passed (this has never been true for me). This makes me want to try join Fallout modding again. It's a pity I'm so busy in real life, but anyway I'm...

Sorry if someone else mentioned it already, but I'd just use a character editor to temporarily improve my stats to pass the test. Then I'd just pretend that this was a feature in the first place, some sort of emergency back-up way to get citizenship - I don't think that if it actually was in the...

Sorry for asking two questions in the same thread, I thought they don't deserve separate threads. First, I've been reading that some of the things are "hardcoded". Does that mean they are unmodifiable? Like, if I want to change the Inventory menu (assuming that it's hardcoded, and no...

Thanks for the replies. But wasn't there "Fallout 0" and a Fallout game for smart phones - both of them free? How did they happen? Also, is this only for Fallout, or would it be illegal to do it for most other games too? And another question, though I'm not sure if anyone would know the...

I want to create a Fallout game for Android. I have plenty of ideas and I have some programming experience, but I'm not sure if it's legal. So, can anyone answer the following questions: - would it be legal if the game is paid (possibly with a free demo version)? - would it be legal if the...

I remember when I played Fallout 3, while still hoping I play the next game in the series of Fallout and Fallout 2 (I knew this was unrealistic), one of the things I totally hated was the way the quests feel - even if a quest looks like it's going to be short (some guy in Megaton sends me to...

"Later this month" does not exclude "tomorrow" or "five seconds later".

Ahh I can't stop refreshing the sites now. Any ETA for the details? Later this week? Tomorrow? Please?

The harpoon sounds great, I thought the minigun would work awfully bad against the Klamath rats, forcing the player to fight them in an alternative way, if I don't change them (which is something I might do, because I want maximum diversity).
