You could also try to edit the Smiley critter by changing the map LVARs in F2se.exe, but you would have to know what you're doing - I wouldn't know, but if I were desperate I'd try some guesses...

I did the same, I disarmed all traps first. Leaving your NPCs behind could be the ultimate solution to preventing them from stepping on them, but I didn't need to, I just disarmed them pretty quickly. Unfortunately, however, I found that my NPCs would always fall in the damn holes, even if...

Hi I noticed this SAME error. It happened in my last play-through (which I just finished), which was my first one with Killap's patch. Before, and this was maaaaaaaaany years ago, I used to play only vanilla. I don't remember this error being in the vanilla (official) version...

Thanks Darek, that REALLY helped!! Per, I saw that one too, but it doesn't have the specific technical information I need, it's a lot more speculative i.e. "I understand I have to wipe out the bad families join the wrights or at least destroy their stills, kill every pimp and drug dealer...

Hello, sorry for gravedigging here but this thread is EXTREMELY relevant to my question. I want the best ending for New Reno (the good ending for the Wrights, in which they end up running a civilized NewReno), but I got into the SAD... After I did, I broke their stills (I did Ethyl's quest)...

Ok I've managed to figure it out on my own. I had to set the variables: 363:GVAR_SAN_FRAN_TANKER from =15 to =0 temporarialy and 532:GVAR_SAN_FRAN_FUEL_TANK_QST from =2 to =0 temporarily. This "refilled" the Shi's fuel stocks. It was kinda complicated to figure it out...

I am running Killap's latest patch (the PATCH, no mods). I've noticed those variables in the ddraw.ini file.... But they're all COMMENTS now and there's another comment saying "OBSOLETE!". So I didn't even bother changing them if they're obsolete... Of course, that got me confused. So I...

Exactly, forget about beating the raiders in their cave for now - it *is* a tough battle! Don't do the San Francisco/Navarro thing, that's a game-killing exploit, seriously, don't do it! At least not in your first play-through.

As far as I know, there is no karma loss for any theft in the whole game, with the exception of -3 karma if you try to steal from the Arroyo Villagers (who don't have anything to steal, anyway). So go for it. Be ready to reaload A LOT with 30% only, though!

I wish I had a little more random encounters, too. I'm playing with Killap's patch (but no mods). Even with luck 10, they were barely coming.

I would recommend doing the Modoc quests before going to Gecko/VC. It all depends on your choice of action, but if you end up being the good guy and do everything right, the rewards include and assault riffle and a combat leather jacket. Very cool for this early in the game! Don't give Lenny...

From Per's Fallout 2 guide, the FAQ section at the bottom: Q: I can't use item X on critter/scenery Y, it defaults to some other action. A: You can't always use an item from the active item slot. If you read the manual (page 35ff) you'll find that you can click and hold on a critter or...

Hi According to Per's Fallout 2 Guide, it is possible to get the fuel for the tanker and for the hubologist spaceship, in various different ways. I am running the game with Killap's latest patch (no mods). Basically what I did first was to get the fuel for the TANKER, the method which I...

Wtf you killed your wife?? You evil, evil person! :o

Just give them non-burst weapons?
