Fallout 2 mod FO2 Engine Tweaks (Sfall)
- Thread starter Dude101
- Start date
v1.12 is out:
Code:
>You can change the number of locations displayed in the locations list of the world map
>A fix for the bug that could cause the world map locations list to become unresponsive
>You can tell fallout to use a patch file other than patch000.dat
>You can change the version string that appears in the bottom right of the main menu
>You can use command line args to tell sfall to use a ini file other than ddraw.iniI haven't touched the mapper, only fallout. I have no idea what it does, how it works or what would be involved in changing any limits.
Fallout has a scroll_cities_list function, but it seems to be a bit out of order. It scrolls the internal list of which cities are displayed first, then checks if there is room to scroll any further, and then only scrolls the graphics if there is. It's fixed in 1.12 anyway; I added a new check to see how much further it could scroll to the top of the function.killap said:I just tested that and yes it does that.

Hmm...
I'm having the same problem...
I wonder if there's any documentation on internet that could explain why it doesn't work on Win98...

Well what happens when you try to use it? Are you using the Fallout 1 or Fallout 2 version? Did you get the latest version? http://timeslip.chorrol.com/sfall.html
I've been experimenting with virtual PC, and it turned out that the windows 95/98 problem is due to the VS 2005 runtime library linking to some functions in kernel32.dll that didn't exist back then. If anyone has an older copy of VS, a recompile it should fix it.
The problem with using the system copy of ddraw.dll turned out to be unrelated. Windows 9x seems to cache a copy of loaded dlls, but restarting the computer was enough to get it to notice the new dll.

VS 6 is the last version that works under W98.
Anyone have a copy of VS 6 then? If not, you'll have to wait till I'm back in uni in October so that I can use my uni copy.
Using gcc could be an alternative, but its asm syntax is completely different to VS. About 50% of this mod is asm, so it would need a lot of rewriting...

Hey Timeslip, why timeslip's tweak v1.12b are incompatible with fallout2.exe of Killap's Patch?
You can fix this?

What happens? It worked fine for me before. Then again I did run into a problem with one of his later versions and had to change something. Perhaps you are experiencing the same thing. What error does it give?Zaius238 said:Hey Timeslip, why timeslip's tweak v1.12b are incompatible with fallout2.exe of Killap's Patch?

Error:
You're trying to use sfall with an incompatible version of fallout
Was expecting 'Fallout 2 v1.02 US'
But i solved the problem:
Edit ddraw, and make it:
;Set to 1 to apply the perception fix to the sharpshooter perk
SharpshooterFix=1 <-- delete this number
and
;Map delay
;If using an exe with the world map speed patch applied, this will change the physical speed at which you move across the map
;Set to 0 to leave at the default
;Default value for killaps patch or megamod is 0x1000000
WorldMapDelay=0 <-- delete this number
And now works fine to me

Yes, I was thinking the PathfinderFix would conflict since I too had a patch for it applied to the exe. As for the WorldMapDelay, leaving at 0 should work just fine (it does for me at least). What did you change it to?

Sorry Killap, i posted fast and dont see my mistake:
I edited ddraw, and make it:
;Set to 1 to apply the perception fix to the sharpshooter perk
SharpshooterFix=1 <-- delete this number
and
;Map delay
;If using an exe with the world map speed patch applied, this will change the physical speed at which you move across the map

;Default value for killaps patch or megamod is 0x1000000
WorldMapDelay=0 <-- delete this number

Oops, actually I meant to say SharpshooterFix as well. I had applied a patch for that, not the Path Finder perk. Still, leaving 0 for the WorldMapDelay should work...

Yeah, the only problem are SharpshooterFix, WorldMapDelay is Ok. Thanks for the help!
But don't you say to delete the value of 0 that is given for the WorldMapDelay?Zaius238 said:killap said:

And now for something completely different... A request!
Timeslip, could you resolve the taking multiple items from another inventory issue in FO1? You know, like the "TAKE ALL" button in FO2, which is missing in the first game... It's tedious to drag&drop bunch of items one-by-one.
Thanks in advance!
