Is it a good idea to start a new game on 2.3 now or should I wait a little bit longer? I assume save files will be backwards compatible?

Today we re-install fallout 2. The journey starts afresh, again.

So... any update to this mod?

For those of you who have played through EPA, can you confirm that [spoiler:2f09dd9948]the agility+1 serum no longer exists in that area? [/spoiler:2f09dd9948] @killap If so, could you confirm this is intentional? No problem either way, but it'd be nice to know when creating a new character.

Agree with last bit. Bags are nifty to have though.

From Per's guide: Though as you noticed, sniper/slayer perks do work always. Awesome mod btw, Ardent.

I believe the .223 pistol has the item perk Penetrate, which ignores DT of the armour. Taking this into account may help explaining the result you got.

I know the throwing skill isn't that great, but does it counts as "ranged weapon", i.e. it is affected by Sniper/Bonus rate of fire etc.? Or perhaps it's an HtH attack, in which case, it would be modified by Slayer/Bonus HtH attack/HtH invade etc.?

Thanks Per... I must have remembered the ammo bit from reading your excellent guide. hmm, I was kinda hoping that the item size data would be available on a wiki or something. The f2 mapper is great but it doesn't really make it easy to search, e.g. for a specific item.

Is there an FAQ on this topic? The weight of any item is listed within game and in various sources on the web, but I'm not having any luck finding the equivalent for space taken. I know ammo takes up no space, but what about other things? Armour? Weapons? Does a grenade take up the same space...

CRC Is anyone else having problems with the new CRC check? It seems to always fail when you specify the ddraw.ini to use in the command line, e.g. fallout2.exe -rp.ini fallout2.exe -f2patch.ini give different checksums in my case. Another related question: does sfall ignore the...

By specifying the starting model setting in the sfall ini file, I was able to start a new game with the haenro model. So it seems that the animation files are recognised by the game and also load-able. How does equipping the environmental armour normally communicate to the engine to use the...

The haenro* frm and fr? files do exist - in my case because I used the multi-mod install method, they are actually in fallout2\rpdata\Art\critters, with critter_patches parameter in rp.cfg pointing to fallout2\rpdata I copied them to fallout2\data\Art\critters to check just in case before...

I can't seem to equip the environmental armour found in EPA. I can try in the equipment window, the stats (ac, resistances) are updated but it immediately freezes the revolving character sprite, and when I exit to the game world my character becomes invisible. In this invisibility state no...
