Fallout Restoration Project updated

[nobody]

Hi, i've been wondering if anyone tried the updated version from github and if it's safe? I'm a little bit concerned with lack of optinos during installation process(only opportunity for sfall qol features) and also cmd prompt window flash after completion of install.

It has updated sfall which is great. And iirc the updated party order mod too. Also a few important bug fixes. You can scan the files first if you worried about safety?

Hello

I’ll join discussion here because for now I don’t see any point to start the new thread.

I found in the internet the 2.3.3 Restoration Project by Killap.

Is that the last and best update/upgrade/bug fixing patch I can install? And does it work without problems with Steam version of Fallout 2?

Thanks

No that one is an old version, there's been 26 updates since that version. The newest version is here:
https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project

And yeah it works with steam no problems.

Yes, I confirm. I am playing restoration mod at GitHub in theese days and I have not any issues.

[Nagumo]

Me too. Download is save and clear and the mod works quite well.

Hello My Friends

Thank you for previous response.
And thank you that there’s still someone playing this game and trying to fix the old bugs.

As an old and ancient mammoth of RPG games I must although ask you few extra questions. If they are too obvious or easy to find - I’m sorry.

I purchased the Steam version of Fallout 2, and what I’m planning to do is try this restoration project mentioned by the psychotron666. I already read that it works without any bugs. But is there any other patch or extras you advice to try with Fallout 2? Or maybe it is exactly what the old gamer needs to have fun with Fallout 2? And last - which resolution do you advice to use?

Kind regards

Are you connected to the Sfall project by any chance. I'm trying to get the Olympus 2207 mod working on Linux via steam. It's supposed to work on Steam, but while i'm able to play Fallout 2 on steam via Proton it won't work with Olympus. Odd.

I don't recommend going above 720p when playing these old games otherwise everything is too small. Personally I still play this game at 640x480 the way the developers intended.

Hi

Again - thank you for help. I think I must try few resolutions to see which one makes me feel best. I like the idea of original 640x480 or 800x600 as it was intended.

I also tried the loseless music format. Astonishing!

Last but not least. What do you advice about the FO2 Tweaks and the "After installation, see mods/rpu.ini for various settings that can be configured."? I don't want any cheats, I don't want to do any modifications and so on. Yet it sounds like there are some options I can make to change the mechanics. Any quick hint - what to change to have a nice game and don't spend another few hours with turning the game on and checking what is worth of trying?

Kind regards

Hi again

Small comment on my own post, to be more precise. I'm not interested in for instance - modifing on my own Fallout, but rather interested in modifications which can make this precious game better balanced.

So for this example, after I read what FO2 Tweaks are about I think that it's good to install (after restoration project) the FO2 Tweaks and it seems to me that reasonable things to turn on are:
1. Party level match.
2. Ammobox.
3. Damage box - probably the best of all.
4. Molotov cocktail.
5. Improved grenades.
6. Healing revision.
7. Keymap.
8. Modoc Brahmin.

Can you tell me also please is there anything I have to "turn on" manually in the .ini file after installing the RPU, or is everything switched on by default?

Kind regards
