Thanks for the info!

Thanks, Cubik! Your software has been really helpful to me lately. I'm going to try Alchemy out now.

As much as I like 1000 yard sniper shots I agree that for a game about a lone wanderer that probably wouldn't work. Mad Max would have ended at the first conflict if the muscle car gangs had a couple snipers who could just plink out the main character immediately. Fallout is explicitly not...

I have been having trouble with the colors of the new .frms. I've converted the following .png file into a .frm ( http://i5.tinypic.com/2aeugm0.png ) but when I load the .frm in Cubik's editor the colors are scrambled. I've tried reducing the colors down to 256 colors using MS Paint but I...

I read that in Fallout 2 long range weapons, such as the sniper rifle, have a to-hit penalty at close ranges. Does anybody know what the minimum range to get such a penalty is? It would affect how I tinker with the weapon ranges in the mod I am working on. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi guys. I need some inventory graphics for the various weapons I want to put in a mod that I am working on. Specifically, I would like to get inventory graphics for World War II and Korean War era weapons and cartridges. Does anybody know of an online collection of vintage weapons that...

Thank you, I did. Let me put it this way: which is more alien to 1950s style sci fi? 1.) a Japanese sword (see Orientalist influences in Western literature, i.e. Fu Manchu, Dr. No), OR 2.) P90s and automatic assault shotguns?

It sounds interesting but wouldn't making a mod for that specific patch hurt combatibility if I decide to distribute the mod? Would it still work with the version of Fallout 2 that most people can buy in stores today?

Re: A little bit of Fallout 3 talk from editor of PC gamer.. Internally KOTOR uses D20 rules. It's literally turn based. In fact, if you check the options, you can set the game to pause after each turn if you want to issue specific commands in each turn of the game. Was the "oh god"...

I think that GURPS is one of the best pencil and paper role playing games for simulationist play. I was rather disappointed when I learned that Fallout almost used the GURPS engine. I would have preferred the GURPS engine myself. Shotgun blasts to the eyes actually would have done something...

Bwah hwah hwah, I always hated that too. In fact, if I were restricting myself to creating a character who is only skilled in things he could realistically be skilled in, I'd have to pick only Unarmed and Weapon melee combat. Personally, I don't think that katanas are such a terrible...

Well, I am guessing that I could just change the names of HP versus HP ammo. So 10mm JHP which is the most common would just be .45 ACP FMJ, and 10mm AP which is rare I'd call .45 ACP JHP. And of course I'd edit the ammunition properties using Cubik's editor so that the JHP does worse against...

Well, maybe I should just not edit the melee weapons at all. I should limit my focus since this is my first attempt at modding something. I suppose there's no particular reason I'd absolutely have to include a sten or mp40. If I keep the default 9mm as 9mm I could keep the Luger and just...

After I slept on this I decided that if the P90 is going to be ejecting 9mm I might as well keep 9mm as 9mm. In any case, it would really cut down on the amount of 9mm weapons I'd need to figure out. It's true that Sten guns and MP40s aren't really americana, but the problem is that I'm...

What a weird bug! :?

Hmm, I really don't like the pipe rifle, though. It's no fun. I liked how the .45 ACP mod got rid of the pipe rifle entirely and replaced it with a glock. I might consider finding a more common bolt-action .45 ACP carbine, though, since you're right when you say that the Delisle was pretty...

OK, this information provides me with a basis to organize my thoughts. I believe that a lot of mods fail to be completed because the mod maker is too ambitious at first. So, I'm going to break my effort down into manageable stages. My overall goal for the mod is to convert most of the...

Well, if it makes you feel any better, although I liked both those tracks a lot I haven't heard them anywhere else.

Let me make sure that I understand this, then. If I change 10mm to .45 ACP in my game and then change the 10mm pistol to a .45 ACP weapon everything will be fine since the .45 has taken the place of 10mm. However, if I decided that I wanted to make the game's default .45 into 9mm but didn't...

Hmm. Seeing as I'm new to modding and still figuring out the basics, maybe I won't bother with the reloading and inventory APs at this time. I'd better restrict my focus to something manageable for now. I guess this is what I'll do for .45 ACP: I'll make 10mm into my new .45 ACP and then...
