Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

I've actually been browsing this forum since 2003 and people do come and go, at least where the modding section is concerned. I can practically count on one hand the number of times I ever looked at any other section, other than downloads, the main page, or the modding section for Tactics, which I have been in years, since the Restoration Project came out. One of these days I'll play that again. Occasionally, I'll look at the Vats section, if I'm bored, to see what kind of bizarre crap that was dumped there. Usually that's from the General Discussion section. I guess they get a little rambunctious there from time to time. :razz:
 
Hi everyone, I stop hiding in shadows ;) Did anybody have a problem with NPC autoleveling? I disabled the random element in npc levelling but it didn't do anything. Did I miss something?
 
In ddraw.ini I`ve set NPCAutoLevel to 1 and play for a while then i`ve set NPCAutoLevel to 0 and I don`t see any difference. Sulik is gaining a new level every 2-3 levels of my character. Sorry for my bad English language, I haven`t used it for a long time.
 
I think there's a bug with the slot machines. My intelligence is 10, but I still act as if my intelligence is 4, preventing me from playing:

Okay so to explain the random element, if you say gain 4 levels, Sulik might not level if their leveling is random, (Vanilla)
But with random leveling turned off Sulik will proceed to gain levels every 4 or so levels you gain.

I'm not sure if auto level is that though..
 
Wouldn't it be nicer to give non-Gambling characters with good Intelligence some dialogue options of their own? I've sometimes roleplayed with "What machine is this? (Examine further)", then it describes the slots...

"It looks like a mechanical thing, the three "eyes" in the middle appear to be wheels turned to face you instead of to the side. There's a lever on the right-hand of the machine."
[Pull the lever], get same response as doing so with IN < 4.
Player character responds: "So, that's what it is!" and now you can play on the slots..., at the lowest bets only, as gambling is risky and more often than not a waste of time.
 
It's 10%. Is there a minimum before I can insert a coin and pull a little lever?
You need 25% at least to play slot machines.
Thanks for the explanation. But it seems rather strange that you need skill points before you can play the slot machines, because I don't see why it's more complicated than craps or roulette. Why can't you simply ask the pit boss or maybe even the bartender if you don't understand how to play? They would most likely want you to play and lose money.

Im thinking its shomehow failing to apply killaps patch correctly. I had the startrek encounter and there was no phaser in the bodies.

also i cant trigger "Find Sulik's sister" quest. And when going to talk to metzger with 76 speech skill wont give the option either.

Yeah , definitely there is a problem.

In this video:

It shows going to a party to kill lara´s rival gang. I didnt have that option in my game.

THe versión is correct, in the home screen it says versión 1.02.31 sfall 3.3a

Patch or RP? Because the Killaps Patch doesn't restore content.
 
I directly applied killaps latest versión automatic installer to the gog versión.

Am i missing something??

Aint suliks quest for example supposed to be there??

the stone in arroyo says killaps patch is applied.

eDit. Fixed. THanks!!

hey people,thanks for all the work you have done and keeping this awesome community alive:clap::smile:

maybe you can help me with my problem

after installing restoration patch npcs disapear when they are not in my characters field of view.
if i go closer they appear again.it is logical so i guess its a feature?
i dont like it and i want to disable it .how can i do that?

it makes sense so it could be a feature.but i dont like it because it feels like my game is bugged.

or maybe its not a feature and my GOG+RP is bugged

edit : everything else works properly like i get sfall and rp notes at the main menu and the rock that says im running the RP.
my specs are crappy laptop with windows 8.1

thanks in advance

Looks like you are using hi-res patch with fog of war feature. Try editing f2_res.ini file, find FOG_OF_WAR and set it to 0.
 
thank you so much for the quick reply and solution
in the f2_res.ini FOG_OF_WAR value was already 0.
so i went to the ingame menu and switched the fog of war off. and it worked!!
thanks man respect. time to burst some radscorpins :twisted:
 
Well, it's been a while since I looked around and had the hankering to replay my fallout 2. However, I am wondering if someone knows where I can retrieve an older version of the restoration project (2.1.2 to be exact[The link on its old thread is as dead as I thought it'd be]) mainly because I strongly doubt that the 2.3.3 version is compatible with several of Nirran's submods. Although I could be completely wrong about the compatibility and am currently appearing to be a complete moron. In any case, I'd appreciate any aid in the matter.
