    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    And yet you did. You are incapable of taking criticism without being defensive. I think it's time for a proper review of your mod for everyone else. Now that I have to reload the game due it CTD every time I pass certain portions of the map and because it simply refuses to load the saves...

    And yet you just wrote a sermon. Sorry, but it may be your mod, but it is the form's thread. They own any content here. That's the way forum copyright works. I have as much right in this thread as you do. You might want to read the TOS link at the bottom of the forum and note both the...

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    Excuses and complaints is all I'm seeing there. Every point made you get defensive or dismissive that it is unimportant. Fact is that I played the Heat thread until it broke at scouting the cathouse in FC for Neil. It's waiting for some trigger or event that won't go off. Bought the silly...

    But then there is little to do because you didn't complete 3 path versions. By not giving 3 paths you just end up with tons of things the character can't play through. Instead, you lock the player into a linear game of one playing style if they want to experience it all. Whereas for the...

    Schoolyard taunts about my lack of desire to play an evil character? You think to judge a person you don't know, based on the way they want to play a game? Seriously? All it says to me is that your mod is extremely incomplete. When FT was made there was always good, evil, and neutral paths...

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    Why are we still on this? I said I like a perfect game, but I hit my limit eventually. That's not being anal. By perfect though, I mean doing it without repercussions, like to rep, not missed opportunities. If I don't like the idea of doing something altogether then I just don't do it...

    Ok, so I remembered Felicia's name wrong. You knew who I was talking about. All I ever saw of her was an exploding mess. I was invested in an outcome, not her. Whatever. After about 30 tries I took what I got. I do like "perfect games" but I won't spend forever at it unless it kills a team...

    I just went ahead and finished it even though Patricia gets blown to bits. Then it said objective complete on rescuing her and they mayor even thanked me. I'm not sure I lost any rep but I'm tired of trying to do it without her dying. I think I finished every open quest on the map. The...

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    Well, I'm in Quartz and no matter how I play it Patricia blows up the moment after Ugly speaks. Sneak in, rush in, TB mode or CTB, no matter. I'm not hanging around either. I start at roof top stairs every time and do not wait, even if I take fire unanswered from the guys and dogs in the...

    Yup, F1 worked. Read some things in the thread about flipping the switch and trading the tool set so you can get a backpack and a Humvee. Did both and I can't find anyone selling a backpack, nor get the vehicle. Mechanic just keeps talking about having to get to work on one. No vehicle in...

    So yeah, I just swapped out your folders for the ones put in the basic game updated to 1.27. Got your splash screen and took one of the prefab characters to the first mission. I didn't play the entire mission but I saw it basically worked. I'll get around sometime and write you an updated...

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    And that's not how Tactics was built. They had different developers and completely different game architecture. F1 and F2 were rpgs and FT was an isometric combat sim. Different styles of game engine and architecture.

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    That was why I asked in my other post about it. My 7zip won't open them. That's why I used the booster utility, but that moves a huge chunk of material over to Appdata, which is unlikely to play well with any mods. Old online instructions are a zoo of unclear and conflicting directives that...

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    Hmmm, after a fresh install my core folder doesn't match what you have to put in there. I'm seeing locale, missions , movie, music, and user files, plus a huge wad of bos files not in a folder inside my core folder. You have campaigns, entities, gui, locale, sounds, sprites, tables, and tiles...

    Fallout Tactics mod Xkcon's ultimate rip off (0.895)

    So I'm ready to give this one a try, but I'd like to throw a few questions out first. After using the editor in my past game and looking at the mod contents, it looks like a fresh install of the game is the right idea. I used the booster utility that splits the game into both the Appdata area...

    Failed Entry Read

    I've done this before. The only thing different this time was running the 1.27 patch again after running Booster, because the pinned thread recommended doing it before and after. So I'll just start over and ignore that bad advice. I realize it is boring extra work, but those pinned advice...

    Failed Entry Read

    So I'm in the editor and it refuses to open select items, specifically the medical enhancers like 1st Aid kits and doctor bags. For some odd reason 2mmEC ammo as well. I get the failed entry read notice trying to open them. Won't let me put any of these things in a character or vehicle...

    How to make an item give a perk?

    Well, that's good to hear for future mods, but is likely beyond my skill set. A passed Fortran with a B- in 1988 and haven't coded a thing since.

    Big mods

    Good to know. Odd that the concept of extending the plot line a bit to get more experience for the team wasn't a big modding priority in the earlier years. It's easy enough to just cheat in the editor for team members but not for the principal character if one goes for a custom over a...

    Big mods

    So really nothing adding more missions to the existing plot line in the vanilla game. So far it seems only exkcon's mod does that.
