Fallout 2 mod Pixote's updated RP maps

[NovaRain]

I decided to make a standalone thread so people can find the info/download easier.

Pixote made an update of all RP maps in 2022, and I played through them and made some tweaks/fixes on my fork of RPU. Since the discussion about merging them into the main RPU is kinda on hold, I have packed the only changed files as a mini mod for RPU.

Download: MEGA | Icedrive | MediaFire

Installation:

1. This mod requires RPU v30. Also, it is recommended to start a new game.
2. Extract rpu_map_update.dat to the mods folder.
3. If there is already a mods_order.txt in the mods folder, add the filename after rpu.dat and rpu_<language>.dat. For example:

   rpu.dat
   rpu_yourlanguage.dat
   rpu_map_update.dat

   If there's none, start the game once, and there should be a newly generated file. You can then adjust the load order in it.

Some of the major changes:
EPA ground level (old)

EPA ground level (new)

Abbey (old)

Abbey (new)

Nice one NovaRain, this makes it pretty simple for people to download and enjoy.

Hm I like the new EPA more overall but it I kinda liked how overgrown it felt in the original?

Whoa! I had no idea this existed. Great job, Pixote. I'm definitly going to have to do a re-play with this.

The old EPA map isn't perfect, but I like it better.

@.Pixote. Only 2 maps are changed?

 

[.Pixote.]

For the EPA? The old map didn't fit into the boundaries properly. You could see the black side areas. The new entrance map is simpler, less clutter. I try to play the game as close to the original resolution as possible, so I don't see too much map at any time.

I meant like plants and stuff considering what the EPA is I felt like it made sense? Maybe just me.

I cut down on the plants, originally there were about 20, now there is closer to 10. They are still very dangerous so fight with caution, more isn't always better.
