ROFLMAO! What was the first thing IPLY stopped doing when they graduated to hemorraghing? Cut their ad budget of course. Oh wait, VU is now the publisher, ads are their responsibility. Hum. They don't have any money either.

For the link to my FOTgee page from my homepage I created the following two images: The BOS symbol came from one of the images on the join... site. I added the gold border to make i look sort of like a lapel pin. You're welcome to use both. John

8+ ST or 7+ with a crowbar

Well, in some places like Vault City, the shop owners close up at night, but what you're advocating is a really tall order. Each unique behavior requires some amount of scripting. If those behaviors depend on anything external (phase of the moon, weather, the commodity markets, ,etc.) you...

Odd. When I transition to another area, all my buddies become visible again. Perhaps there's a bug in the code calling the unhide method. Anyway, I've extended the generic Slot Machine script and dialog to let one hide or unhide your party. The options will unconditionally set or unset the...

Not exactly. The FRM is not corrupted, he's invisible/disabled. Mrs. Bishop's script (NCLABISH.SSL) calls party_member_hide_all when you follow her to her room, but never clears it when you're done. Somehow you need to make them visible again. The easiest way I can think of is to modify the...

You forgot sewing patterns and woodworking templating machines ;)

Yeah, but... With both the Brotherhood and the Shi playing with materials science and the supposed instability of ammunition, I don't see why swordmaking couldn't make a comeback. Not to mention that for the Shi there (probably) would be some cultural motivation for the research. Don't...

Dunno. Around here (NJ) if you can find Fallout at all, it most likely be the FO/FO2 "dual jewel" for US$10 John

I looked at all their preview/gameplay movies and it looked exactly like what I expected a platform game to look like. Unless the game is seriously bugged or is seen as too much of a Quake/HL clone, I doubt it'll fail. I think the bigger danger to FO3 on PC is FOBOS doing very well. Look at...

I just finished my game last night and sure 'nuff, even though Ethyl destroyed the still and promised to keep the clan on the "straight and narrow", the Wrights destroyed the other families with pre-war weapons. I made the following change to the conditional NewRenoEndgame() in QCFRANK.SSL...

IMO, it wouldn't be worth the effort required to add MP to the existing FO/FO2 binaries. You'd be much better off writing the engine from scratch like IanOut. And that's just the start. All the scripts would pretty much need to be rewritten. There are several global and map variables that...

I didn't see it. By all means feel free to do so. Since I'm not currently playing Tactics, it's unlikely that I'll do much with it myself. (Shmaybe FO2 compatibility. No promises, just a random thought) /me takes a few Mentats to try to remember where I originally announced it...

I had the same affliction. Er, perhaps the file called README? which also was linked from the webpage. The Usage section is what you're looking for and that's right after the Intro section. You may need to use WordPad instead of NotePad since I originally wrote it under Linux. Yes, it's...

FOTgee is for Tactics. :P John
