anyone interested?
In Fallout (and Fallout 2) executable there is a code (not in use) which makes it possible to load any map you want. It's most likely to be the same piece of code that is in offical mapper File>Open (map). It's pretty much the same like pressing Ctrl-R in main menu, but without recording and you you can do it ingame.
Ctrl-v normally shows the game version (pretty useless, don't you think). That can be changed to Load map. I've tested it shortly, and it seems to be working. I'll upload the patch somewhere tomorrow if anyone cares
BUT there's a problem. it's not a clean patch. Sometimes when you "teleport" to the map the game crashes. I haven't found any fix to this, but I'm still looking into it. And if I recall correctly there were some world map issues. But hey, cheating in a great game like Fallout shouldn't be too easy.
Oh I almost forgot, a second thing I found some time ago is Save Map. It can also be attached to Ctrl-v. It saves your current map (with dropped items and such, I think) into .map file (you can enter the file name). Can anyone think any use for this?
Huh, I think that was all this time,
