It Wandered In From the Wastes
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON May-15-00 AT 04:48AM (GMT)[p]First off, I'd like to say that I'm excited about it. I love the prospect of being able to interact with the fallout wasteland in a different manner.


Well, here's my idea for the game : Release mapper (I think that is the name of the Fallout editor) as a "Goodie" on the cd! Since interplay owns the copyrights to mapper and all that crap, they wouldn't even need permission to distribute it. By releasing mapper on the Fallout Tactics cd, and whatever other editors they designed to make fallout, they would get the hardcore rpg'ers to buy Fallout Tactics that wouldn't touch a strategy game with a ten foot pole. It would benifit Interplay, because of increased sales, and more importantly, it would benifit us by actually letting us rescue Sulik's transvestite sister. Adding a Fallout Add-on creation kit to the package would certainly increase the appreal. So what do y'all think of my idea?

Good idea, but if they release a mapper, it will probably support FO:BOS only and not mapping for FO1/2. They look to be using two differemt graphics engines and mapping for FO1/2 I've heard is much harder then it sounds.

Mapper was only one of the utilities required to make Fallout 1/2 maps. It just laid down the basic terrain, scenery and critters. You needed the scripting tools (and script compiler), plus a lot of the game was hard-coded into the main .exe. It is nearly impossible to release those tools in a user-friendly (or even user-unfriendly) manner.

Fallout Tactics has much better tools, and they will be included on the disc, or post-release (I'm hoping for on the disc, myself). You could use them to re-create the majority of Fallout. The big thing you will not be able to do is a dialogue tree. Dialogue just recently got a little more complex (up to five levels of responses for just Speech skill and Reputation...)

Weeee!

Dialogue Tree

We won't be able to create dialogue trees? That's evil. Couldn't it be an unsupported addition?
