From Per's guide: "When you leave Vault 13 after getting the xp for finding it (no matter if you got the G.E.C.K. or even talked to the deathclaws), or leave San Francisco after getting the tanker ready to go, you'll always jump ahead to the fourth sequence." If you cheat with a savegame...

Thanks, that should be enough to work with. Crashing the mapper won't be a problem – a hex editor is my tool of choice.

Data files go in ~/Library/Application Support/Fallout2/DATA/ ; this is equivalent to C:\Program Files/Fallout2/DATA/ on the PC. Anything you put in the proto directories must be locked or it will be deleted by the game. The patch000.dat file overrides other data, so you'll want to rename it so...

Has anyone figured out exactly what causes this bug? Is there a predictable, reliable way to trigger it? I've seen several theories – too many objects on a map, too many items with scripts attached, too many Pip-Boy entries – but it's not clear which one is right. I want to get some savegames...

Killap's patch (and the RP) have fixed this bug, so it is possible to get the 'good' ending.

You should be able to go back up the ladder you came down by. What happens when you try to?

Or http://teamx.ru/system/files/uploads/u2/file/msk2bmp.rar. A single-purpose tool, but perhaps easier to use.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/9mm_Mauser

The Mauser is the worst gun in the game (not counting the BB gun), so a small burst will not unbalance it at all. Using AP ammo, only the 10mm pistol/SMG and minigun do less damage per bullet, and the assault rifle and avenger minigun are about equal to it. The 10mm pistol is the second-worst...

The 10mm and 14mm pistols are described as autoloading, so a burst would work for them. The Mauser is also an automatic, I'm not sure about the Desert Eagle. The others don't fire that quickly, and are powerful enough already.

There are a few differences between the formats that make them incompatible. In theory you could hack it to work on the other platform with a hex editor, but that's much more trouble than it's worth.

Is it possible to fake it by turning them into regular items and have your script provide the normal drug effects?

"Security Robot critically missed and took 6 hit points, knocked down, his weapon exploded and lost his next turn."

Yes they do. I once got blinded by one of the unarmed Enclave soldiers in the puzzle room level. In ai.txt, the called_freq parameter controls how often they make aimed shots. I'm not sure if a value of N means an N% or 1/N chance; the wikia page needs work. I'll guess that which limb they...

The 13-year limit is hardcoded, as a consequence of how the time and date is stored. It's the same as the 2038 problem, except that Fallout counts 1/10ths of seconds.

It isn't too difficult to do this yourself. The time limit is set by a variable in master.dat/data/vault13.gam . Extract that file (it's plaintext, despit the extension), and change the variable from 150 to 5000 or so. It will take effect when you start a new game.

I think that's just the way the engine draws things, similar to the 'floor' objects. The blood goes away after a while, so if you go sell some of your loot and come back, you should be able to get the rest.

Encounter data is stored in /data/worldmap.txt. Each enemy grouping has a 'position' setting (values are straight_line, double_line, wedge, cone, huddle, Surrounding), a 'spacing' for how far they are from each other, and optionally a 'distance' for how far they are from the player. There is no...

Somehow you got flagged as banished from VC. Reload an earlier game, and this time don't show people fake papers or get thrown out for being there at night.

Info at The Vault and Vault-Tec Labs. Finesse adds a +30% DR mod to all attacks. (This would make AP ammo somewhat useful if it didn't have the 1/2 damage mod.) Armor-bypassing criticals ignore the DR mod, and so are not affected by Finesse. Most of the good criticals bypass armor, so the...
