For those of you that remember the Fallout 2 Patcher, which is a Fallout util to make it possible to play Fallout 2 in higher resolutions, you'll be glad to hear that it has been updated:<blockquote>Version 3:
The game is still unplayable, but some things have been fixed while other have been destroyed

New:
* New style of patching the executable added - the patcher reads from the patchData.txt file
* Sections for future compatibility with other versions added (still only works with US 1.02d)
* Some interface additions/fixes for the patcher itself

Fixes:
* Most of the graphics work on the dialogs now, but not the main picture that shows who you are talking to unless it's a talking head
* You can now move the mouse to any corner/side of the screen to move the world map around istead of the default 640x480 edges

Bugs:
* Picture of who you are talking to is messed up in non-talking head dialogs
* Accessing custom settings on your party members crashes</blockquote>So it's still a beta, just remember that.

It's sounds more and more promising though. Soething to wait for ... and jsut another excuse to play Fallout one more time :)
 
If you download that, you might want to also grab the updated patchData.ini here. All it does is fixes the crash when accessing the custom settings on your party members in the American version (the only one affected by this crash).

Right now I'm trying to get the backgounds on the non-talking head character dialogs to display correctly. I'm also working on getting the big5 version that was posted in the "Fallout Modding/Hacking & Project Announcements" section compatable with this patcher
 
Good stuff, is it just me or has FO2 modding kicked into overdrive in the last few months. We have seen some very awesome things being done lately. I've even heard of a few new buttons for the gui being added into the extra area on the screen in high resolution mode!
 
Only for matter of information. . . my friend got to play well in the resolution of 800x600 of the beginning of the game to broken hill! I don't know if that help in something, but it is there the information!

Sorry the english
