Crippled limbs would have been the first question; this gets asked fairly regularly. I am impressed that you managed to get *both* arms crippled at the same time.

If a formula becomes apparent, it might be useful, but I wouldn't count on it. While the multi-way branches aren't too hard to spot, most of the code resists analysis. Without variable names it's very hard to tell what bits of data are used for.

More than one of the failures having the same effect is certainly possible; it's been done with the critical hits. They'll probably all be distinct when using guns, which have more ways of failing. It looks like luck does affect the chance of critical failures; I really don't understand that...

I don't know if it's possible for other critters to loot containers/bodies. The only times I can think of that one appears to is the water thief in V13 and Garrett giving you a reward in Necropolis, and those might just be scripting trickery. A solution would be to make critters drop all their...

There are items (not always unique) that appear only in Fallout 1, so that would make a good question. Especially since 90% of games played are in Fallout 2.

'Peppered with fragments' is used when you fire a rocket (and maybe grenades/anything with a blast radius) at short range and get caught in the blast. I usually see it with rocketbots; other critters seem smart enough to back off before using explosives. I'm not sure about 'crippled a random...

If it's not too much trouble, that list would be great. The bigger guns are more fun – I once had a flamer explode and set me on fire, with the 'flamedance' animation. I ran the Mac version through a disassembler, which gave promising results. It separated the 5% of the program file that is...

Yeah, I just wanted to be clear about the method. There is a flag that sets critters as completely unlootable – mostly used for robots – which would be a quick and easy way to do it, but also cause problems.

Making critters completely unlootable could cause problems with some quests and such (e.g. the dog tags on the raider captains, presidential pass key). Using scripts to remove just the items you don't want the player to get is safer. That would also let you leave some items such as money, drugs...

This can be done by editing the encounter tables in data/worldmap.txt . It's already used to make strength of bounty hunters increase with the player level. You could make higher level characters find harder enemies, or just more of the same ones. (Manti aren't very dangerous in groups of 6, but...

Have you been playing Fallout 3? :P As for Horrigan's armor, here's what the Fallout Bible says about him. Timeline: 2239 March 27th: Frank Horrigan is manufactured for his new role. A new version of Power Armor is built to accommodate his mass, and he is sealed inside. According to...

These are what you see when you look at ammo in your inventory. The two Dmg Mod values are needed because Fallout uses integer arithmetic, so you have to use 3/2 instead of 1.5 . http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7158 and http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_2_tutorials...

As fortyseven mentioned, if you hit someone with a grenade, or flamethrower, or machine gun, their armor is not going to be in particularly good condition. A leather jacket is not very useful if you blew the guy up and only the sleeves are left. Similarly, shooting someone point-blank with a...

Create a new ammo proto (or change an existing one), and set the Caliber to '12-gauge' (see proto.msg). Then set the ammo modifiers to whatever makes you happy.

Most people won't take the obvious answers because they think many people will take the obvious answers. Some people will realize this and pick the obvious answers because they know no one picks the obvious answers. The trick is to choose not the obvious ones, nor the obvious non-obvious ones...

I tried to find the failure data myself when extracting the critical hit tables, and didn't find it then. Looking at combat.msg, there are four sets of the same 23 messages, for male player, female player, male critters, and female critters. The table will probably contain offsets from the start...

There are other (possibly better) endings for Redding if you don't deliver the Jet antidote.

This should be fun.

There was this mod, but it died last year without seeming to release anything. Maybe you could ask the people involved for what they have produced.

@B-2Admirer: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=167 @Puokki: You could play Fallout 3. Or playtest the F1->F2 conversion.
