Occasionally I've had the problem where the Mapper2.exe program would error out at startup with the message "Error Initializing Input Devices". Sometimes just trying to restart the program resolved the issue, other times I had to reboot. I've done a search for the solution in the forums and...

Alright, in working on my replacement mod, I started digging into techniques to create dialog scripts. My primary goal was to determine whether I should script my dialogs manually or whether there was a tool out there that could make the process easier. I should note that there's no recent...

Hey everyone, I found this old post by @Lexx and realized I was having the exact same problem... In addition to the symptom of seeing a duplicate script when you go into the BIS Mapper, you can also have the problem when assigning a script, it actually enters a different one. Meaning I select...

Hey Everyone, this thread is going to be my attempt to document the major tasks and activities that go into creating a replacement mod for fallout 2. My intention is to help new modders consider the bigger picture in how to approach such a massive project. I'm going to do this in the context...

Okay, so forgive me as I work my way through creating my first more complex mod. I've decided to test out script snippets in the existing game files before I go creating my own from scratch. I've had no problem with more complex commands (like manipulating player inventory, updating stats...

Hey everyone, I'm just getting started on modding FO2 and am ready to add my first location to the map. I was easily able to follow the guidelines posted by ColJack on how to insert my new map into the existing wasteland (http://archive.nma-fallout.com/content.php?page=fo-modding-addmaps)...
