After an extensive search, I managed to locate the mark’s steal skill in the memory with Cheat Engine. Setting it to a negative value basically eliminates the catch_chance check. Somewhat annoyingly, the mark’s steal skill will be re-located in the memory each time a load occurs. But at least...

Hi, can anyone confirm that the code of the steal function is the same in Fallout 1 as it is in Fallout 2? I have several times attempted to alter the apparent constant modifiers values (such as the cap of 95% chance if the player’s steal skill is above or -25% if stealing from the front)...

Okay, thanks. Is it possible to achieve this through other means then? Can you for example make a check in a script when the steal-interface has been opened? I just need this for one critter-script. I tried using the party_add and party_remove commands in various instances, though party_remove...

Can hook scripts be applied for Fallout 1 as well? Someone in this thread made a script (hs_steal.int) which made every attempt to steal a success. http://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/fo2-engine-tweaks-sfall.178390/page-131#4204348

If there's something that I haven't been able to fully experience while playing Fallout 1, then it's some its localized desert encounters. Encounters near the Khans' location and the Glow have been especially evasive. Most encounters around those areas turn out to be "general ones" (encounters...

Yeah, that's most likely the case. I guess it's just the file that includes all of the NPC's level-up quotes, that possibly indicates that they had something else in store for her. I've with been trying to locate it without success. I believe Bess did have some rather unsuitable quotes assigned...

So what's the deal with Bess the brahmin? Was she planned to be a permanent follower in Fallout 2? It always seemed kind of odd to me that the cow would simply vanish after you had left Modoc. She is also included in the follower amount when she's in the party. Finally, I vaguely remember that...

I'm trying to install sfall for Fallout 1. However, sfall isn't compatible with the current version of the fallout executable which I'm using. It needs the US 1.2 version. Any idea where I might get it?

Leave San Francisco, then enter it again so that its town map appears. From here, you can actually access the town's different locations by pressing any of your keyboard's numeric keys. Should you press the one which corresponds to the Hubologist base (trial and error, can't help you there) the...

I wouldn't recommend anyone to invest any points into the First Aid skill. It's also more rewarding to sell any First Aid books you find, rather than to read them. Yep, the skill is that horrible.

I also remember that Chip wasn't available in the unpatched version. His disappearance seems to be scripting related as he is placed on the tanker's map even in version 1.0 (just checked it). Patch your game then convert a savegame where you saved before entering the tanker.

This might help; Enter the world map and select Vault City. When you're about to choose the area you'd like to enter, press three on your keyboard and you should end up on the map with Lynette. You're now in the city. With your problem, I guess the only solution for you to leave it again, would...

Never had a problem with that. Since one "package" of BB's stacks 100 bullets, chances are that you'll never have to reload it. Even if (I usually have to do it once), you still have like 300 to 400 in reserve. Besides that, the ammo itself doesn't have any modifiers which leaves it rather...

The Red Ryder LE BB Gun is also pretty neat if you should come across it. Actually, I prefer using the rifle over the .223 pistol in Fallout.

Oh, what the heck :P
