It Wandered In From the Wastes
Is there a way I can just tweak an NPC I don't like with an editor? I just want to slightly adjust a stat or two.
Simple NPC Editing?

@Judaeus Apella,
You will need to find "pro_crit.msg" which should be in "Fallout2\data\Text\English\Game" (wherever Vista puts that). Read down the list and find the NPC you want to change. There will be several '.pro' files listed for each.
For example,
ignoring the last 2 digits will tell you the name of the .pro file for this stage = 00000310.pro. Those are the files you need to find in "Fallout2\data\proto\critters"
Download Fuck to open the proto files and change the stats.
You're on your own from there, so best of luck.

I have WinXP, but thanks for the explanation and the link!
I'm trying to find Miria's file.... but I can't seem to... Having a little trouble with the explination you gave me.

I downloaded the Miria mod but I looked over her stats and she's still incredibly weak. And he says he did something with her? I wanna turn her into a soldier by training her over time in the game.
Problem is... I don't know what I should change all her stats too in all the files because I can't open any of the files you recommended to look at them as a reference. I tried opening that Sulik file, but its in the items folder (?!) and FUCK won't open it......
If someone can help me, I either need all the stats of the other party members like Cassidy and Sulik for reference or find out how to open those files my self. Is there a page that lists their stats at all their different levels? That would help me a GREAT deal! I think that would be the easiest solution....
Wait! Nevermind! LOL I forgot about the Vault. I found their stats there.

@Judaeus Apella,
Sorry for the poor explanation. All the NPC pro files should be in "Fallout2\data\proto\critters". I don't know how the game would work if they're not. There are item protos also, and I don't know if some might have the same numbers and the game only knows the difference because of the folder they are in (?)
"pro_crit.msg" is the list that (sortof) tells you which .pro file belongs to who/what. It should be in "Fallout2\data\Text\English\Game" and describes the files in "Fallout2\data\proto\critters":
{31000}{}{Sulik - Stage 1} = 00000310.pro
I made backup copies rather than work on the original files, but no matter where the file is, Fuck gives me an "error opening..." when I browse to it. I just click, OK, whatever, and it edits the file anyway.
As I said, I don't understand the proto files and have no idea what was done in the Miria Mod except that she could equip armor and actually use a submachinegun. You're right. She still isn't that useful, but no more difficult to keep alive than any other NPC.
Normally, she pulls out a knife and runs away. Now she charges in with a machinegun, and gets blown to bits instead! At least I get some damage for all the stimpacks spent on her, unlike Vic and Myron.
It will be nice to see what improvements you can make when you figure out how to tweak stats.
