    "All my prefab char have the age of 1,2,3,4,5,6...., which is the best and more stable way for me to identify them during the game and change my dialogues/endings/events according to the character actually used. Can be very powerfull if you want your mod to be played by a human, a ghoul and...

    The easiest way to edit your rep is too open the next Map that your squad is going to enter and add a simple trigger like the following.... Condition: Player has more than 0 alive at anywhere Action: Add reputation to main player. If you add +1500 you will be guardian of the waste. If you add...

    The problem is mostly likely an error in your format of your campaign.txt file. perhaps you forgot a closing bracket or a comma between values or something similar. go back and check. the format has to be very precise or you can and will experience a variety of strange bugs. If you can't figure...

    List of HEX-based fixes/changes in Bos.exe file

    Thanks for posting this. I will definitely test these out. The music hacks in particular interest me. I hope they work, because I was sure disappointed when I found some awesome 'background' music for one of my maps only to have it stop playing with first NPC speech event. Editing the Date and...

    GIVE A CUSTOM MAIN CARACTER A TAGNAME?

    I see... well than that explains why It doesn't work on other squaddies... It is a moot point then because, Really there is very little need for the main player to have a tagname as he is the character that is onscreen/ingame at all times... the whole point of the quest to fix tagnames was to...

    GIVE A CUSTOM MAIN CARACTER A TAGNAME?

    Not exactly sure what is so strange about it ?! A very basic trigger used in some form on almost everyone of my map. If a tagnamed entity has exactly 1 death at anywhere reward player with xp. what is strange about that ? In this case the entity was a Squad member named 'Patch' , not exactly...

    GIVE A CUSTOM MAIN CARACTER A TAGNAME?

    I will have to test this on my own before I am truly convinced. I find it hard to believe that in the glory days of FOT modding, that Requiem, JJ86, Jarekfall et al wouldn't or couldn't have known something about this. Anyways It would be cool if it does indeed work, but unfortunately for me, My...

    GIVE A CUSTOM MAIN CARACTER A TAGNAME?

    So let me get this straight... All I have to do is open BOS.EXE with any old hex editor, Find address 000F6857 and change the value from 12 to 56 and then squad member tag-names will work ? Has anybody actually tested this ? And why hasn't this been mentioned/discovered before ? How exactly...

    GIVE A CUSTOM MAIN CARACTER A TAGNAME?

    All the Squaddie Tagname ideas were discussed many years ago. Yes, It can be done, you can assign all your prefabs and recruits individual tagnames... BUT each time you are spawned on a mission map, all those individual tagnames are stripped and replaced by whatever you have tag-named your...

    Simple sprite tutorial

    I tried to use use your template. It still gave me the same error. I am just going to assume that I did something wrong during the creation process or that my files created on 6.0 just aren't compatable or whatever. It's strange though my ground image worked properly and the other two failed but...

    FoT Redux 1.1 Comments/Issues/Bugs

    This is really no big deal. you can exit and enter a map as many times as you want and the triggers will hold. You just have to make sure that 'Nuke triggers on Exit' is unticked. Unfortunately the way that the original maps are triggered only allow for one exit and debrief, and then they rely...

    Simple sprite tutorial

    My earlier posts were a little unclear. My frustration got the better of me. I will try to be more clear. I was using Photoshop 6.0. I made it as far as creating the three sized PNGs and then converted them to BMP using AlphaConv. Then I tried to reload them in Photoshop 6.0 and got error...
