I haven't tried it so I'm going to make an educated guess. variable test := 0; defines test as having a type int. When you later say test := floor(-5.5), it's going to try to assign the result as an integer. Instead of coercing the float value to an int, it's instead going to interpret the...

Nice. Wish I knew this existed earlier. :) Shame there is no scripting yet though.

Read it and find out I suppose? Might be more worthwhile to rewrite it anyhow.

Did you change the 192 FID? What category was/is the prototype in? If you don't know which PRO it is, can you just crawl each one finding the one with FID=192?

I don't recall exactly how this works but it definitely takes line of sight into account, and I think it chose a random friendly. You might go digging in the attack / hit procedures. As for the hit chance, yeah, tohit.c: if (!target_invalid && !attack_with_norange_argument)...

Do you have the Hi-Res patch?

There are some tutorials for a lot of things if you look around. First off you will want to extract your .DATs. For adding or editing item or critter attributes, you modify .PROs. For special encounters, edit data\WORLDMAP.TXT.

Well, it's a technical thing. Timeslip explained it above, but let me try again: The scripts are compiled down to a bytecode, which is a machine-readable binary format for script instructions. Now, making up instructions, this code: f(x); would produce something like: push x call f where...

Have you tried variable tmp; tmp:=play_sfall_sound("Patch000.dat\\sound\\SFX\\geigerhigh.wav",1); verbatim, with the path changed, and does it not work? Does it still crash?

They're proper areas in CITY.TXT. See for example: [Area 37] ; Special Encounter Cafe of Broken Dreams area_name=Special Cafe world_pos=120,350 start_state=Off lock_state=Off size=Small townmap_art_idx=-1 townmap_label_art_idx=-1 entrance_0=On,345,230,Special Cafe Encounter,-1,-1,0 [Area...

I imagine he means if it was rewritten in pure C (i.e. Portable Assembler), then it should be mostly trivial assuming the target platform is not too alien. Well, get on it phobos. :D

Well, you could get that started. Or you could give up and help with other vaguely related projects. :D

Wow, awesome. :D Hint to potential developers: This would be a really good start to a real C re-implementation of Fallout 2: the idea would be to one-by-one replace the assembly procedures with pure C ones, and eventually you end up with a pure C implementation. (That, or you could help with...

He actually explains the rationale for using a temporary in that thread: I think by "functions" he means "instructions" though. I haven't used play_sfall_sound, so are you (a) storing its return value in a temporary, and (b) is AllowDShowSound set to 1?

Thread is here: http://www.nma-fallout.com/showthread.php?178620-Unofficial-Fo2-patch-thread-problems-reports-suggestions The sources should be on one of the later pages.

And are they fixed in the Unofficial Patch?

If you make it until 2014 you can make it until 2020. Even when the Great Web 2.0 Apocalypse comes, and we're all enslaved to use browsers and the oppressive JavaScript as our primary OSes, we will surely have a FO2 remake in JS to mod and talk about!

Yes, you can spawn any object with create_object_sid (or whatever macros there are wrapping that.) You can then add them to your party. AFAIK you will, however, still have the original copy of them on the map they're from (e.g. Broken Hill in this case). You could try to remove it when you get...

Why don't you just complete the quests as they're intended? Surely you can do that with that army of yours. It should not be difficult to modify the script yourself as well. It should be obvious where he is added to your party.
