    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    @killap, this is great news. Please let me know if I may help with text. I am available to help with the quote simplification (to straight quotes) whenever you may need it. Also, I'm still curious (this goes out to anyone who might know): I suspect there's a really obvious reason that...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    @Killap: I've wondered whether this will be a problem. This is the character for a curly quote. Text editors that open the file in Windows Latin or ASCII, rather than UTF-8, may have a bit of trouble, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the character represented in the game dialogue. If you're...

    Great. I just sent the results off to @Killap. Per my summary to him: Almost all single- and double-quotes should be using the correct glyphs and facing the "right way" now. And yep, that's a lot of quotes.

    @killap: Yes, I installed a fresh copy of 2.2 public beta prior to beginning the process. - Acute accents are now curly quotes. - Left single curly quotes have been changed to right curly quotes when they substitute for the first syllable of a word ('bout, 'round, 'til) or where they are...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    I've been using Sublime Text 2 for this, in case anyone cares. ;-) I have done the following: - Replaced all left curly quotes with right curly quotes where they needed to be switched (it was not a "replace all" operation) - I replaced the acute accent with right curly quotes in the few...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    I'd be happy to take a crack at it. A couple of questions for anybody who knows (I think this will benefit any other volunteers, too): - To whom should we send the revised files? - What's the easiest/best way to get all the dialogue files together? - Is there a "master list" of these files...

    Agreed. I noticed that a while back, too. I don't know if it will be a "blocking" issue on the newest RP, but Killap and everyone are putting in so much effort I won't be surprised if this is the last Killap-driven RP release for a loooong time, so... would be nice to fix. :)

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    @Killap, my copy of the Fallout 2 Hint Book indicates that the Great Wanamingo Mine Elevator (explicitly identified as the one where Frog Morton is hiding out) isn't supposed to work unless the nearby power generator (on the surface) is repaired. I don't know if this was scrapped because of...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    @Nibiru Heh. Fair enough. I guess my opinion of Bethesda is low enough (for good reason or not) that I wouldn't put such a move past them, if only to keep their names in the public eye. Some companies seem to me to thrive upon controversy. @teukros True enough, too, that plenty of us own...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    Re: Music This is a really intriguing idea to me. I was trying to think the other day if Radiation Storm were anywhere in FO2 (with or without the RP). Making use of "what's there" is one of the things I admire most about the RP, since we have all this great content that was just not...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.1.2b (Unofficial Expansion)

    I don't have an answer, I'm afraid, but the latest "stable" release from Killap's site is for version 2.1.2b. I always assumed that the "b" stood for beta, so if you are running a previous 2.1.2, perhaps one of the bugfixes in 2.1.2b will in fact solve the issue you are seeing. Maybe I'm...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.1.2b (Unofficial Expansion)

    I use Mac OS X. I had a copy of Windows lying around and I use it through VMware Fusion. Performs quite well but means I have to keep two operating systems patched and up-to-date. I've run this way for years, though, with no issues other than a loud (!!!) computer fan at times. With that...

    Re: Combat bug (related to previously reported gecko bug?) This has always bugged me a bit, too. I would love to see this resolved. - "Attack Who" can be just that if we want to reflect common, modern usage, but more traditionally would indeed be "Attack Whom" - "Whomever is closest"...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.1.2b (Unofficial Expansion)

    Just to chime in: I have a long-running of not saving in combat, for the reason that I think I've had one or two corrupted games. (I picked up the habit long before the Restoration Project.) I'm also no stranger to scumming—I will admit that, when NPC level-ups were more random, I would...

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    @darek: I'm probably just being dense here, but would it be possible to expand on that EPA part just a bit? Specifically, are there guidelines as to what minimum resolution I would need to use to have the "best" experience there? Or maybe I'm reading too much into this and I simply need to...

    Ah, haha, I gotcha. :oops: In any event (and keeping that in mind), if you'd like to PM them to me, I'd be happy to spend some time and take a look.

    I would argue that it's a bit subjective. To me, those could easily be: "COULD SOMEONE BRING ME A LIGHTER?" and "Fine. GOODBYE." (with a period instead of a comma) ;)

    Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 - OPEN BETA (ie NOT FINAL)

    Killap, I hope I am correct in suspecting that there is a certain satisfaction in fixing "vanilla" bugs. Do you all get "more" satisfaction at fixing a fourteen/fifteen/sixteen-year-old bug, at integrating new content or features, or at fixing regressions? Totally arbitrary question...

    Haha. I thought I was the only person in the world bothered by that sort of thing! Cheers. Edit: But yes, totally unrelated to the functioning of the game. Heh. No rush!

    Re: Possible Minor Bug? My experience has been that the at-cost discount needs to be "redeemed" before conversation ends when it is first mentioned (i.e., you need to click "Barter" to get the discount). Re-entering conversation afterwards, I have never seen the discount again. Not sure...
