1. Before reporting bugs, check in the Troubleshooting Guide
2. Also, make sure you're using the newest version of Fallout Fixt
You can check what version you have from the game's main menu by clicking Credits or pressing C. It's also listed at the bottom of the main menu.
This page is for reporting and tracking bugs in the Fallout Fixt mod
Entries don't need to be perfect. Just provide as much detail as you can, and links to any files if applicable (savegame, settings file, screenshot, etc). If your entry needs to be edited that will be handled, the main point is to have this as a resource instead of bug reports disjointed all over the place.
Please take a moment to see if your bug is already reported below. If it is, feel free to add notes to the bug, such as further details, links to a file, or even just "I'm also getting this bug."
Please provide the following when reporting bugs
- Fixt VERSION NUMBER -- This can be found in CREDITS from main menu.
- Fixt DOWNLOAD TYPE -- Bug Fixes Only, Full Custom, German Uncut.
- SAVEGAME -- Savegames are located in: [Fallout Fixt]\DATA\SAVEGAME\SLOT## -- Please just drop that whole folder into a compressed format such as .rar or .zip.
- SCREENSHOT -- Hitting F12 in the game takes a screenshot, and it will be saved in the Fallout Fixt folder.
- Username on No Mutants Allowed, if you're a member there, or other contact information if you're willing to share it. This makes it easy for me to contact you, if I need more information to fix the bug.
- Operating System -- "Windows 7 Pro 64-bit", etc.
Legend
NEW is used for all entries unless one of the below applies.
CONFIRMED means Sduibek has personally seen this bug, or has gotten multiple reports (thus confirming it wasn't an isolated incident), but has not yet fixed or resolved the issue.
ENGINE BUG sadly at this time, this is either confirmed to be or believed to be an engine bug with Fallout itself, meaning it either cannot be fixed, or will take efforts of skilled coders such as Timeslip to fix.
FIXED means it's fixed in Sduibek's current files on his sytem, not that it's fixed in the current publicly-available release. These will be deleted from the page when the next release goes public.
NOT-BUG should be self-explanatory. This isn't actually a bug, but is still useful to have on this page for reference purposes.
UNDUPLICATED means I, Sduibek, haven't personally seen the bug and have not been able to reproduce it.
WAITING ON 3RD PARTY is used when something like Sfall is going to fix the issue, but not until their next release goes public, or when it is something beyond what Sduibek can do, thus is pending completion by someone else.
WAITING ON ENGINE UPGRADE is regarding the switch to the Fallout 2 engine that Sduibek and others are currently working on. There is no ETR for this as it's a very large project, but switching to the engine will fix many issues and allow a large expansion of capabilities. This denotes that the bug will be fixed once this engine shift has happened, so no work will be done on it in the Fallout1 engine.
BUGS LIST
Locations
Boneyard (Adytum, Library, Blades, Gun Runners, Rippers)
-i got no holodisk from Razor (Blades boss) although she states she gives me one.. so there is no way of aproching zimmerman with the holodisk in hand after giving weapons to the blades (just before the fight for Adytum, razor line I'll talk to zimmerman first) zimmerman just tells me to kill razor because there is no line regarding the holodisk , because i don't have it, not to mention there is no pipboy entry from that holodisk. (FIXT Alpha 7.1 Full Custom/Vista Ultimate x64/GOG version in English) gustarballs1983 @NMA
-there is no way to get: "Find spy among the followers" quest active in your pipboy since teamX removed the dialog option from the ghoul in follower basement somwhere around 1.3.4 patch. for now I made a workaround by simply talking to restored Heather (a.k.a. the spy) and telling her i'd kill her and after killing her nobody around there seemes to care one bit.. and additionally You get the quest as already crossed out in the pipboy (the quest was not active but killing her without the quest marks it in the pipboy as crossed out/compleated (FIXT Alpha 7.1 Full Custom/Vista Ultimate x64/GOG version in English) gustarballs1983 @NMA
- The Deathclaw eggs taunt you when attacking them, funny when the kids inside can apparently talk though aren't ready to be born. Here's the save
- When leading the siege on Adytum with the Gun Runners, they might target you if you saved and reloaded before Combat is initiated. Should you enter Combat mode quickly and shoot the Regulators, the Gun Runners'll remember you as an ally. (Using Fixt 6.7.2 with the 6.7.2.1 revision for Cabbot, on Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, GOG version in English) Breakin'Benny (talk) 21:17, February 25, 2014 (UTC)
CONFIRMED - Need dialog fix for Miles/Sammuel: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Sammael
CONFIRMED - After installing 6.3 patch on top of 6.1, the Gun Runners won't acknowledge you stopped the deathclaws if you killed the mother before talking to them. [This is probably just a side-effect of increased number of local variables per script in the patch versions (overwriting memory they shouldn't be), but I'll test anyway, it's easy to test. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED, PLANNED - Miles won't upgrade the power armour -- second mod I figured about is that in the Boneyard that doc says he could upgrade your power armor, and when he gives it back he says come back whenever you need anything and I came to him with another suit of T-51b and he only float-texted over his head, which is kind-of silly. He could do the power armor magic every time player brings him Power Armor (next ones could be paid for of course). [I think this makes good sense, probably only if FixesOnly is disabled, just need to remove the global var check and possible use a new one to either restart items needed quest, or request caps instead. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - RAZOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE PLAYER [Vanilla] Even if you've talked to Razor before, if you end dialog without telling her whether or not you want to join in the fight, if you start dialog again, it's exactly the same as before.
CONFIRMED - RAZOR DISAPPEARS [5.3, probably Vanilla bug] "that woman, Blades leader in Boneyard, has misteriously disappeared from the building. She was in the room and next time I arrive there - she simply isn't here." --pipboy-x11
- From Per's guide: "Don't go to talk to Zimmerman after getting the weapons and talking to Razor if you don't have the holodisk. If you don't have the disk you can't trigger the invasion, and Razor will disappear from the Blades map (leaving a ghostly corpse) after you've reported to her that you got the weapons. This means you can't get the 2000 XP for the invasion or even the 500 XP for taking out the Regulators yourself, although the Adytowners will help with the fight."
NEW(ish) related to above: RAZOR PERSITANTLY DISAPPEARED AFTER RELOADING A GAME [0.80 alpha Full Custom / GOG (please check for Steam/Vanilla?) Win7 Ultimate x64] Got to the Boneyard and the Regulator fight (used the "I will first speak with Zimmerman" option). Had to reload once since an important char (Smithy) was killed in the ensured fight. Reloaded, got back to Zimmerman and Crash after Dialogue (Crash occurs "only" about 6 of 10 times though, if it's not, then the Blades simply won't appear at all at the fight). Checked at the Blades, and yup, Razor was gone for good in that Savegame (saved directly before the fight, as always dont mind the stats, pure bugtest run) Damn, I hate it when very old (vanilla?) bugs always come back for more ^^" --Matt Drax @NMA --This crash is actually in the troubleshooting guide; if you're getting the crash, you have to interact with the holodisk is some way before talking to him, and then it works fine. Not trying to downplay the report, just saying there is indeed a workaround :D Sduibek

NEW - Michael the Gun Runner welcomes the player with his answer to "Why don't you leave?" and actually welcomes you when you actually ask him why they don't leave. Can be tested with this save. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English). [Probably just referencing wrong line# in dialog file. --Sduibek] NEW - Quest for Gun Runners in Boneyard (killing deathclaws), doesn't show in STATUS of PIP-Boy 2000.
NEW - I that the Regulator closest to Jon insta-kills with 250 damage even if the mayor somehow dodges. In addition, how about allowing the both of you (Zimmerman & you, the player character) to go into Zimmerman's basement and talk about it properly, in addition to making specific Regulator start with his boomstick unequipped? Breakin'Benny (talk) 19:24, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
NEW - In Adytum, you can kill all of the Regulators and free the town, but Chuck the fortune-teller will still act as though they exist in dialog options. Might have to never talk to him until the regulators are killed, screenshots exist. Prisoner416 (talk) 21:36, November 6, 2014 (UTC)
CONFIRMED - The guard at the Gun Runners' moat will leave his post as soon as the map loads and go up and right before crossing the toxic slime and being injured. He'll stay at the top of the map. When you re-enter the map he'll be back by the bridge but will again leave his post and take the same path. He'll do this each time you enter until the toxic sludge kills him. I believe this might be caused by talking to him so he lets you pass, then loading a previous save. V6.7.3, username on NMA is Matroska. Tropxe (talk) 14:17, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
Brotherhood of Steel
NEW - When I'm in the third level of the Brotherhood of Steel I go to the quarters where there are locked lockers and footlockers - I try to open them and instead of saying "This locker is locked" or something like that it just says "Error". Nothing interrupting gameplay, it just seems like it fails to grab for whatever line it's supposed to.
NEW - If you take the quest to deliver grenades to Sophia, she will gladly accept them... only to flat-out state the next time you talk that she has "not seen you here before". Prisoner416 (talk) 21:36, November 6, 2014 (UTC)
NEW - crash with Rhombus. When I went into his quarters to have a look around he warned me, then I stole the power armour piece out of the locker and he then called me a thief etc and it crashed back to Windows.
CANNOT FIX UNTIL ENGINE UPGRADE - Quest to scout north area for Brotherhood doesn't show in STATUS of Pip-Boy 2000.
- [Fallout 1 has set number of quest entries for each area and it's hard-coded. Until we port to Fallout2 engine, this cannot be changed. Sduibek 18:20, March 3, 2014 (UTC)]
CONFIRMED - Brotherhood: Is exercise sequence with brother Thomas in BOS bunker working properly? It's long time ago when I last played F1, but I remember, that you are suppose to get XP and skill raise from watching the training. But it seems that it's stuck in an endless loop. I tried to reload the game, but it didn't help. Ok, I finally got it working (you're not supposed to move, is that it?). But it took several attempts, as sometimes the whole sequence didn't even start or it started, but without Thomas' initial speech and then it was not possible to get the XP and skills raise.
- [Still need to figure out what's causing it. Probably just timers not getting restarted properly, OR, using named variables instead of local variables. Sduibek 18:20, March 3, 2014 (UTC)]
The Master's Vault, Cathedral
NEW - HOSTILITY INCONSISTENCY DURING COMBAT AFTER KILLING NIGHTKIN [5.4] "On killing nightkin (gatling laser one) behind the altar all Children go hostile, except the one that was in same room with Laura, he remains there. There's also the guy in leather armor pn left side of church (not far from Lasher's room), who does not join fight either. I don't recall killing of the nightkin turned all those guys angry, but I might be wrong." --ziemeck [Probably wrong team# on these NPCs during init. --Sduibek]
The HUB (Downtown, Oldtown, Caravans), irwin's farm, deathclaw cave
NEW - Alpha 7.0.1, bug fixes only, Windows 8 - Mission: find the missing caravans. After killing the deathclaw in the cave, there is a crash when talking to the dying mutant. Sometimes the dialogue completes and you get the holodisk, but then trying to access the inventory will crash the game. Error message: "the instruction at 0044daf8 referenced memory at 05c4fc03. The message could not be read from. Click on OK to terminate the application." GeneralSu @NMA
-the holodisk from mrs. stapleton in the hub is still marked as "Error" after adding it's contents to Your pipboy. (FIXT Alpha 7.1 Full Custom/Vista Ultimate x64/GOG version in English) gustarballs1983 @NMA
NEW - "Find and destroy the Deathclaw quest" still active in PIP even after being killed and Harold or Sloppy spoken to. (Not sure is this related but Sloppy will re-bring you back to the deathclaw cave even once it has been killed.)
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, standard install, Win7 x64. After finally accepting the missing caravans mission, by talking to Rutger, this resets the progress made with Slappy (he's about to take you to the Deathclaw cave). I probably forgot to talk to Rutger, in accepting the mission, but I don't remember. NMA user: mhanor Savegame
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, standard install, Win7 x64, Beth dialog for the missing caravans mission, "Why would it happen to the Far Go Traders more than others?", next dialog contains "The Water Merchants could be lying [...]", you can't continue the dialogue with it. NMA user: mhanor
CONSIDERING - "I cannot pin down Lorenzo for extortions. Shouldn't I be able to find out who was harassed by Mafia and tell the sheriff so that banker went to jail? After killing Kane&Co. the banker tells me to buzz off and if asked again calls for his thugs, which seems OK if you want to get your hands on his safe."
- [Hmm... not sure about this. Sounds like a good idea on the surface but technically he isn't breaking any laws. I'll read through their dialog and decide what to do. --Sduibek]
Alpha 6.7.3 Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, Full Custom - Empty Caravan Missions - When taking a caravan mission I just end up on an empty map with only myself and my followers and the caravan Brahmin. No guards, drivers or enemies. When walking off the map the area reloads empty again, this happens when going onto the exit grid the first two or three times then I will eventually end up at the caravan destination but the caravan and driver will not be present. When I return to the hub it's like I never took the job. This happens with every caravan. I have been on one successful job; I went to Junktown with the Water Merchants but didn't make the return trip with them, instead I carried on north to Vault 13. Does the game maybe "think" I am still on that job perhaps? Screenshot and savegame
NMA screenname - stu1985
CONFIRMED - "Vance doesn't mind me approaching him without any Charisma, Barter, or an invite. Since this was my first real-low INT run, is it possible he just figured I'm too stupid to be a threat?"
[I think this is resolved, but Vance's dialog and functionality has had a lot of issues so leaving here for now. --Sduibek]
NEW - "After doing the second quest for Decker, he says that he is proud and so on so forth. I believe it is the last quest, but the man up above brings me back down when I ask if there are any new jobs for me only for Decker to say yet again how proud of me he is. The delivery is awkward in this way. I'm not sure if this is how it was but it seems odd still."
[Assuming there's an appropriate-sounding line in his voiceover dialog entries, can just make a local_var for this that gets flagged the first time he tells you he's proud. Further discussion will play the appropriate dialog line. If not, can just make go to generic dialog. --Sduibek]
UNDUPLICATED - Cops in Old Town don't care if you kill everybody.
- [This shouldn't be possible but i'll make sure all the civilian deaths trigger the Hub hostile global variable on death. --Sduibek]
NEW - Dan, in the Entrance section, tells you to get out of his place if you come at night. If you rest outdoor in front of it, he becomes hostile. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
- [Need to add a check for if he can still see you. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - Upon arriving for the first time near them and the FLC, Guido and Leone speak too fast and at the same time. It makes it difficult to understand what they are talking about, at least in the short amount of time we have before the text disappears. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
- [Just need to change # of ticks wait between timed event triggers. --Sduibek]
NEW - At some point in the game (I discovered it after finishing all stuff in Necropolis, I went back to vault through Hub to buy some books in library, it was my second time in Hub, I was there just once before) approximately 5/9 of the Downtown map (the lower third and the third on the most-right of the map) becomes very laggy even if you are just viewing the area. Game lags for 20-30 seconds, then it goes for like 0.5 seconds and then it lags for 20-30 secs again, extremely annoying, makes the map almost unplayable. It also lags just when i talk to Mrs. Stapleton. I didn't test it anymore, 'cause its very time-consuming and boring.
Junktown (Gizmo, Killian, Skulz)
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, Windows 7 x64: After killing Gizmo with the help of Killian (by doing his quest and then helping him kill Gizmo), Killian duplicates himself; he is both in his store and in Phil's house (even though I hadn't recruited Dogmeat yet). His version in Phil's house asks me if I have recorded/placed the mic at Gizmo's yet, while the store version has normal dialogue. Talking to Lars triggers the wrong dialogue, he thinks I killed Gizmo without proof, and asks me to leave and never come back. If I recruit Tycho and Dogmeat, then fight the Skullz, they both try to kill me (that includes Dogmeat) after all the Skulz are dead. Also, if you kill Doc Morbid, and then go to the Hub's sheriff to report a crime, all the lines related to the crime itself are "Error", even when you're given 3 choices. Bob dies after that though, so I guess its not a big deal.
- The reason the Skulz attack you is because Sherry is also aligned with the civilians of Junktown, thus Tycho and the dog attack you after taking the gang. This hasn't been fixed since its reporting with v5.3. --Breakin'Benny (talk) 13:45, February 18, 2015 (UTC)
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, standard install, Win7 x64. After planting a ticking dynamite on Izo (he's blocking the path), the game crashes right after it explodes. NMA user: mhanor, Savegame here
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Gizmo doesn't check for Killian's dog tags, (useless item).
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Examining the serving counter in the Skum Pitt provides a description of Neal's urn - even if it isn't there.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Vinnie does check for Neal's urn but returning the urn to Neal or planting it on him using steal will remove the urn from the game. This can prevent you from joining the Skulz if it happens before Vinnie gives you the steal Neal's urn quest. I recommend having a 2nd possible joining quest option such as retrieving an item from Killian's bedroom.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. There are no children in Junktown.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Neal opens the door to the Skum Pitt at 14.00 but the bar doesn't open until 16.00.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win 7 x64. Can confirm the bug above.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Dr. Morbid will treat you until 17.00. The healing can take up to 2½ hours but his 2 guards will challenge you from 18.00 onwards. Even if you choose the dialog option that doesn't guarantee combat you'll only have a few seconds to leave the building. I suggest standardising all the healing times to 55 minutes or less.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Opening boxes on the tables in Killian's store automatically count as a steal attempt, (that doesn't gain XP), rather than a request to trade. Effectively there's no downside to a failed stealing attempt. It should always trigger Killian's 'Can I help you?' trade float unless the steal skill-dex is intentionally used. This will be a bigger problem if you convert the game to the Fallout 2 engine.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Killing Gizmo's 2 casino guards or Izo, even without provocation, is acceptable to Killian and the guards.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. There's no hostile reaction to an attempt to enter Gizmo's bedroom.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. If you accept the record Gizmo quest, talk to Gizmo, and choose the 'Nothing, actually. I'll just be going now.' dialog option it will prevent a hostile response if Gizmo catches you stealing. You can take and replace his items as often as you wish with free XP each time you're successful. This also happens if you choose 'You're right. Goodbye.' after Gizmo denies any knowledge of the failed assassination attempt, or the 'You're right. I'm leaving.' option after Gizmo says he doesn't take kindly to strangers. <Basically any option that ends with Gizmo saying 'I don't like people who waste my time. Don't come back again soon!'> All other tested choices correctly keep the hostile Gizmo response if you're caught stealing. Addendum: Getting into a fight and ending it, (leave Gizmo's room), with Gizmo still alive has the same result.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. If you go to Gizmo before meeting Killian he'll offer you the kill Killian quest. (Incidentally you get the standard 'Who're you? Whadd'ya want?' screen float in red but then say 'Get your butt in here and sit down. We've got some business to discuss' when you start a dialog). If you take the quest but then tell Killian about it he'll offer you the tape Gizmo quest. If you turn that down you go to jail. (Incidentally the jail opens at midnight rather than 6am). When you get out Gizmo is dead and the Casino is empty. However you can still have the same conversation again with Killian and he'll again offer you the tape Gizmo quest or jail. This dialog option should be removed. However, the only way to recruit Tycho is to accept the tape Gizmo quest. I suggest having a 2nd recruiting option for Tycho based on Lars asking for help with the Skulz.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Andrew the jail guard walks away from the jail after you barter with him. This must be intentional but I don't see the logic for it.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. If you place a bet on Saul's fight, choose to wait for the fight, then talk to Gustofer he'll say: 'Sorry, but today's match is already over'. (It bypasses the fight sequence).
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. The script that recruits dogmeat isn't active during combat. EG. If you're fighting Phil whilst wearing metal armour and you change to a leather jacket it isn't recognized until combat is resolved. [This is ultra picky and i'm not expecting this to ever change. I noticed it so I reported it].
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Resolving Phil's dog problem gains you XP even if you've already killed Phil.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Phil and Lenore are not on the same team for combat purposes.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Helping Killian's guards take down Gizmo bypasses Gizmo's 2 Casino guards. There is only Gizmo and Izo, (who is too lightly armed).
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Gizmo's dealers and the casino gamblers are not on team Gizmo. Attacking them does not get an aggressive response from Gizmo's Casino guards. If you have previously attacked Killian's guards the dealers and gamblers will attack you.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Attacking Kenji before he enters the General Store and makes his attack on Killian doesn't turn Killian or his guards hostile to you. (Logic error - Kenji is always seen as hostile yet the guards still let him in???) [This is also picky and I don't expect to see a change].
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. In reference to the item below this. If you save Killian from Kenji and accept the record Gizmo quest Izo will see you out and run back inside the casino. If you don't save Killian Gizmo will offer you the kill Killian quest. Izo will see you out then stands in the casino doorway. (The run back inside script hasn't been added). This isn't a big problem as Izo's position resets when you use the exit grid.
NEW - Cannot get to Gizmo once Izo escorts me out of the casino... He stands in the middle doorway, barring me from entrance.
NEW - I attempt to save the waitress but a similar occurence to when I attempted to save Tandi happens.
NEW - At Junktown I am able to place bets on the upcoming fight, but the fight event doesn't take place (I've tried waiting when prompted, and I've also manually waited for 1400).
Alpha 6.7.3 Can confirm the bug above too: Saul seems to be inside of the ring but no one fights him, and Gustofer tells you the match is over.
NEW - When I tell Lars that the Skulz are going to attack Neal and agree to help fight them, Neal only attacks me in the following fight.
NEW - Flash talks to you at night only. Dr. Morbid only appears on the map at 8 AM and leaves at 5 PM. That means that from 6 AM to 8 AM and from 5 PM to 6 PM there is nobody to tell the player where the Doc is. Furthermore, Dr. Morbid does not respond to player from 8 AM to 10 AM (I believe). How it should be, in my opinion:
The Doc is present since 8 AM to 5 PM and always available for talking at that time. When he is not around, Flash is always available for talking. [This was observed in Fixt 0.99 and should have been changed since then - Nevill]
NEW - Dr. Morbid's formula for a healing price is messed up. He demanded 720 caps to heal me from 13 HP to 41 HP. That's the cost of 5 Stims! If you are fully healed, he will offer to heal you for no price and does actually waste your time by 'healing' you. If you say that you will pay, but you can't actually afford it, he commands Flash to attack you because of your debt, even though you didn't make yourself indebted just yet. How it should be:
Doc examines you. If you are lightly wounded, the cost is 10 caps, moderately injured - 50 caps, heavily - 100 caps. If you are not wounded at all, the dialogue should end after the initial examination. If you say you will pay he heals you first and THEN asks you for a payment. [This was observed in Fixt 0.99 and the formula was changed since then - Nevill]
NEW - Neal's door autolocks each time you visit a map. Who locks it, I wonder? Also, you don't get XP for unlocking it. Not that you need to - the backdoor is *always* unlocked. It turns Neal's quest in a farce when you walk into a bar in a broad daylight and steal the urn he values most. No stealth involved, no lockpicking skill - nothing.
I think autolocking was introduced by Wasteland Ghost to fix another bug I reported - earlier Neal walked all the way to the door trying to unlock it, but since I unlocked it first and it was open already, the door stuck (and Neil with it). I believe there could have been a more elegant solution than removing this piece of scripting altogether and putting autolock on the door instead - with more checks, of course.
NEW - When trying to loot Killian's containers they check for his life status. However, if I steal from the containers, I can loot them. Killian being alive should not stop you if he can't attack you or otherwise prevent you from looting the stalls.
NEW - Tycho bugs. If you kill someone in Junktown, the whole town becomes your enemy, and Tycho is no exception. But despite that, you can still recruit him! He will both follow you and try to kill you. If he doesn't see you (Stealth Boy!), he will fight alongside you instead. He will even kill Junktown townspeople if you attack them first and make sure he doesn't notice you. He will act first in random encounters disrupting enemy scripts and allowing you to run away from opponent's whose turn never comes. Of course, if you hire him first and then kill everyone in Junktown, he will help you with it and wouldn't care a bit afterwards. How it should be: if you made the town hostile, Tycho will too be hostile and leave the party if present. After that he can only spout one-liners and attack, and cannot be recruited anymore.
NEW - "people not noticing Gizmo's casino is done, that the Skulz are dead, guard of Shady Sands not noticing that Tandi is back"
NEW - I can't save just before raiding Gizmo with Lars, saves will become corrupt, nor I can even start the raid, because an error will appear.
Windows XP SP3, GOG version 1.2 English, Fixt Alpha 5.3.
NEW Izo putting you from Gizmo's office message should be in square bracket. ("[Izo motions to the door...]").
UNDUPLICATED"Whenever I arrive at Junktown and the guard tells me the gate's closed, I always immediately hit the Pip-Boy to rest until morning... Then he guns me down because I've been creepily standing in that tile all night long. " [just need a script check change]
-- ("Is it feasible or appropriate to make it so that he either warns you not to enter before you're inside his aggro radius, or make it so he opens fire if you go through the gate anyway rather than when you're halted?")
CONFIRMED "When the two door guards for Killian's shop walk back outside after Kenji is stopped, they seem to end up sideways, facing the walls forever."
NEW - "In Junktown at a certain time, I witnessed Shark entering the bar from the rear door. It was daytime, and he was visually the only person in the bar. He would do his whole, "Trash the place!" routine yet he would be the only one really there. The waitress would be there, but invisible and not really doing anything. Neal would come walking out with his giant handgun, usually blowing Shark away. If I decided to help Shark, Tycho would come in from the north of the town and begin attempting to rain hell down upon me. Not sure if this is all how it is supposed to happen. I would think Shark would only walk into the bar once everyone is actually there in position."
NEW - Bob makes a reference to his room, but he is strolling outside. Might be another one of the poorly-implemented characters. Suggestion - put him in one of the hotel rooms.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win 7 x64. Bob seems to be mentally deranged, so it may have been designed that way. Can confirm he isn't anywhere near the hotel.
NEW - Marcelles (a hotel owner) does not react right away when you open the fridge without being a paying customer. Instead she only reacts when you are 4-5 tiles from her, which may happen hours after the fact. Fixt 5.3, savegame.
NEW - From Per's Guide: A bug which seems to happen if you already helped get rid of Gizmo is that the guards won't be on your side and will turn on you if you attack the Skulz. Savegame is below. Talk to Lars, agree to help, wait for Vinnie to shoot at you, run out of the door. The guards will do nothing. If you end combat before all Skulz are dead, and then Skulz see you and initiate the combat again, the guards will turn on you. Savegame
^ The above is not a bug. To properly set the variables for this fight, you need met 2 conditions [suggestion]
1# You *can't* talk to the woman that is outside the Skulz' room in the hotel during the day, because this will trigger variables for a peaceful sollution and guards will treat the woman at the barfight as a friend.
2# after getting the evidence from Skulz' leader that they are planning to kill bar owner, you need to return trophy/urn to the barowner, Neal, *before* going to Lars for the bar fight (if i remember right, this was added in some of the TeamX patches way before it become 1.3.5) anyway this one is a must. regards Gus.T
NEW - Saul's dialogue contains an error. If his reaction to you is neutral or better, the 'angry option' (like 'Tough guy? I'm gonna teach you some manners') leads to his introduction and 'peaceful option' is only present when you first meet him. How it should be:
All 'angry' options should lead to 'Well, you are in the right place...' line. There should always be a peaceful line when you greet him.
A minor issue, but it still grates on my nerves. When you ask him to tell you about his boss, he tells you about Gizmo and his casino. After that you can ask if there is anything else to do in town, and then you get to ask about the casino AGAIN. If you go the other route, you can only access each of his lines once, as it should be.
Solution: make 2 separate branches of dialogue (right now, 1st leads to 2nd), like this.
1. Tell me about your boss [his line] - What is there to do in town? -> [his line] -> Bye
2. What is there to do in town? [his line] - Tell me about the casino -> [his line] -> Bye
(This savegame can be used for most of my reports below. Fixt 5.3)
NEW - If Saul goes hostile and moves, he will teleport back to the place designated by the script once you end combat.
NEW - The guy who is in charge of box matches, Gustofer, is panically afraid of weapons. He runs away from the player if the latter has a gun. Thus he can be lured from the guards and killed, and nobody will care.
NEW - Almost everyone in Junktown, except for Tycho and guards, does not keep track of their relationship with the player. You can wound/kill some of them, end combat, and nobody - including themselves! - will remember it. If attacking Junktown citizens at least flags you an an enemy of the town and sacks the guards on you, there are no repercussions for messing with the Skulz or Saul/Gustofer and his bodyguards.
NEW - For some reason, if you break the law in Junktown, the local prostitute Sinthia also turns on you. She is the only NPC who does so. She is unarmed. Marcelles, the hotel owner, will help Sinthia once she starts fighting, but would not attack a player on her own, and will gladly rent a room to the known outlaw after the combat.
NEW - You can only ask Ismark (the singing dude) for directions the first time you talk to him after entering the casino map. If you forgot to ask where the Hub is, you can tip him all you want, he will not tell you (though he says he'll tell anything - you need to just ask). Of course, it is not an issue, since you can always re-enter the map and ask him again, but it feels illogical.
NEW - When I provoke guards and then manage to end combat, they return to their posts and stay there with their back turned. This may or may not be the bug in itself. However, you can talk to guards in sneak while being an enemy (the fact that they are not facing you helps). If you hold a gun, you can actually convince them to let you wield it, which is silly. I do not think they are supposed to be spoken to once you turn on them. It would be much better if they shared Andrew's script who spouted a floating line and attacked when clicked on instead of initiating dialogue.
NEW - If spoken to when you are an enemy of Junktown, Lars gives you 15 seconds to leave, then attacks. His behaves like Flash before you fixed him, which means after 15 seconds he attacks you anywhere on the map. Worse yet, his timer is reset each time you talk to him.
How it should be: he waits 15 seconds after your first hostile dialogue and then attacks you when you show yourself again (like Flash is doing currently).
NEW - If you walk in Morbid's clinic at night, Flash will initiate a dialogue with you and demands that you leave. Aside from the fact that there is no 'nice' option to leave quietly, the second option is to try and threaten him. If you fail, everything works correctly. If you are succeed, Flash will say that you can see the Doc, but the timer that tells him to attack you after 10 seconds is still set! That shouldn't happen.
NEW - In the example above, Flash does not initiate a dialogue straight away. It is possible to run past him to the basement without triggering the dialogue.
NEW - In the example above, if you initiate dialogue first, most of the options will lead to Flash demanding your leave and setting the timer, after which he attacks. If you have sufficient speech, however, you may convince him to let you see Dr. Morbid. But this is useless, since then he initiates his own dialogue as described above.
NEW - In the example above, Flash does not start a timer after a reply 'The doc sees patients from 8 to 5. Now get outta here', even though the text suggests he should.
How it should be: the timer should start after Flash tells you to get out of here, which should be his every answer, except for the ones where you threaten or convince him. If you succeed, he should pay no attention to what you are doing.
NEW - If you are fully healed, but irradiated, Dr Morbid will tell you that he cannot do anything for you, yet, contrary to that, still will offer to heal you for 0 caps. He should end the dialogue if you are at full health. Maybe even ask for an examination fee, if you care to write an additional text string.
NEW - Speaking of examination fees, shouldn't the price for healing be 10+3*(hit poins) rather than just 3*(hit points)? For now, if you are slightly injured, the healing cost is less than examination fee you pay when at full health.
NEW - If Dr. Morbid goes hostile, the following occurs:
a) If you are above ground and he sees you (which means its daytime), he will flee to the basement. Then, once you end combat, he spawns whenever the script tells him to spawn. This happens repeatedly if you are standing near that place: spawn - flee - spawn ad infinum.
He should no longer spawn on the map after he flees.
a2) If you follow him immediately, you both will appear on the same hex. Then, before the combat starts, he leaves. This, coupled with (a) causes an endless and silly-looking loop. If this was done to make killing him impossible, it doesn't succeed - you can easily kill him when you are above.
b) If you are in the basement at night, he will attack you and won't try to leave. However, if you end combat (by climbing the ladder, leaving the game (!), or being sneaky), he will magically teleport to the place he was first spawned at.
Morbid can still be talked to when hostile, and will heal you if its daytime.
I suggest: Once Morbid goes hostile, he should attack if you try talking to him.
a) If you made Doc hostile during the day, he should flee to the basement (preferrably to some other hex than the one in front of the ladder), and should follow the logic described in (b) afterwards. Either that, or he should remain above and fight.
b) If you made the Doc hostile at night, he should no longer appear above ground in the morning. Instead he should remain in the basement. He shouldn't try to leave the basement when you enter, nor should the script return him to his initial position once combat ends.
NEW - It is possible to lose an eye if you go to Morbid's basement between 17:30 and 23:30 and have a sufficient Speech skill. However, the logic behind it is weird: you have to initiate the dialogue yourself for Morbid to realise that you are trespassing. If you go to the basement between 17:30 and 23:30, there are no consequences, even if you just climbed out of the basement in plain sight.
Suggestion: Morbid should immediately initiate the dialogue himself when you climb down to the basement between 17:30 and 23:30. If you go down there between 8:00 and 17:30, it should make him (and his guards) hostile. 'If you go down there between '23:30 and '8:00, he is sleeping, so everything is fine.
NEW - If you are an enemy of Junktown, Tycho will initiate combat from across the whole map, where he definitely can not see you. If he is in an unaccessible part of the map (say, when you did not recruit him and he is not in Skum Pitt), you are stuck in a neverending combat loop.
NEW - From Per's Guide. In Skum Pitt, if you want the Urn on the countertop, you can pick it up easily between 4.10 and 12.00. At other times you must use the Steal skill on the counter to get it. This is counter-intuitive, since Neal is not present in the bar until 13:00. Neal will turn hostile if you fail the skill check even if he isn't there, and you will always steal the urn successfully, no matter if your skill check succeeds. This leads to complications.
Suggestion: modify the script so that the urn can be picked up until 13.00.
NEW - If you manage to end combat, Neal forgets that you stole his urn and serves you drinks.
NEW - Make yourself an enemy of Junktown. The peasant outside of Skum Pitt will display 'Error' if spoken to.
NEW - From Per's Guide. You have two days to prepare for the fight after you show the Urn to Vinnie. If you wait that long and then enter the casino map Neal will be dead; the game also likes to crash at this point, but if you first enter the map and then rest until he dies it should work. You won't be able to tell Lars about the attack, but you can tell Vinnie you're ready, and the Skulz will then storm the empty bar to no great effect (you can kill them for the 800 XP though).
Suggestion: make Vinnie's dialog check if Neal is alive.
NEW - What do you know? Kalnor is actually Gustofer in disguise!
All characters that have nothing to say yet have to initiate dialogue display such behavior.
Solution: if he has nothing to say, don't let him initiate dialogue. Make him spout a one-liner or something.
NEW - After sleeping at the hotel, your radiation levels go up.
NEW - After the "little incident" in Neal's bar, I came to Vinnie in order to get his quest (steal Neal's urn). However, he directly asked me if I had it, and the quest wasn't in my quest log. I could carry on with the quest without problems, but I never actually took it. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
NEW - I came to Junktown during the day. I asked the guard at the gate what he was doing, then I answered I wasn't from the Hub. Then, when I try to speak to him again, the dialog interface came up and closed immediately after that. I did a save and tried it again, but when I loaded it I just had the "Go on" option without any words from him, and the interface close after I take it. Here's the save. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
NEW - Might be more the vanilla game's fallout than the mod's, but nobody seems to notice than Gizmo is dead if they speak about him after the facts. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
Military Base (The Lieutenant, Vats)
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, standard install, Win7 x64. In the Vats control room, getting caught stealing from a technician, yields no response from them. Same thing for Robobrain(s). NMA user: mhanor
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, standard install, Win7 x64. This may not be limited to the military base. NPCs get spawned, after loading a game, in areas that they shouldn't (in this case, behind a forcefield). After loading, they hurry to get to your location, passing through the forcefield. NMA user: mhanor Savegame
NEW The BoS Crack Paladin Team never arrives. Could this be somehow linked to sneaky (i.e. use radio; finish combat within 3 turns) killing of some mutants without setting off the alarm on a previous visit when asked to scout for the BoS?
CONFIRMED - When I use the computer on the fourth floor of the base to activate the 3 minute silent self-destruct sequence after hacking the computer to decipher the commands. The cinematic of the base exploding happens instantly and the game returns to the main menu. Steam version of Fallout downloaded in English. Fallout Fixt Alpha version 6.7.3 standard install downloaded in English. Windows 7 x64 bit Home Premium. Save file MBVATS12.SAV in save slot six. Persists across at least 2 play-throughs up to this point. I saw that at first the interface says 300 seconds until self-destruct but then it immediately jumps to 0 seconds until self-destruct. Username: Gregory Thomas Bogosian You can contact me on facebook or No Mutants Allowed.
CONFIRMED - When you get sent to jail, your NPCs keeps all their stuff. (but not you)
UNCONFIRMEDYellow forcefields They seemed to toggle on and off at random, leading to situations where they would pop up when I started combat. Whether the alarm was triggered seemed to have no bearing on this. "The Forcefield generators keep coming back online... Particularly after loading & elevator"
UNCONFIRMEDYellow forcefields Disabling the emitters would give XP and say the field was down when it clearly wasn't, regardless of if I was using tools or just skills (they would also keep giving XP if I kept trying).
UNCONFIRMEDYellow forcefields Explosives only worked if they completely destroyed them. Ones that were temporarily damaged would re-activate so quickly that it was impossible to pass through, even if I tried standing directly outside the blast radius."
FIXED "After clearing the ground level I kept getting messages in the log about mutants and robots taking damage. I scoured the area to make sure I cleared it, then when I gave up and took the elevator down I was greeted by a pile of corpses in the forcefield right outside the door." [Will be fixed and furthermore have optional changes in next full release. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED, NOT-BUG Nowhere is it explained that a Radio can be used to control forcefields. [Need to figure out a way to gracefully suggest this to the player, for players new to Fallout 1. otherwise they just experience needless troubles with those damn forcefields. I didn't even personally know it was possible until reading Per's guide. --Sduibek]
UNCONFIRMED - Yellow forcefields had very strange behavior. Looking at the emitters would only give the description "Error". They seemed to toggle on and off at random, leading to situations where they would pop up when I started combat, separating me from Dogmeat (who would then die trying to go the long way around), disappear after combat, and then suddenly flip back on after I took a couple steps. Whether the alarm was triggered seemed to have no bearing on this. Disabling the emitters would give XP and say the field was down when it clearly wasn't, regardless of if I was using tools or just skills (they would also keep giving XP if I kept trying). Explosives only worked if they completely destroyed them. Ones that were temporarily damaged would re-activate so quickly that it was impossible to pass through, even if I tried standing directly outside the blast radius.
CONFIRMED - I think deactivating the force fields on the first floor using the "blackjack computer" also deactivate them on the other floors, or at least the second one. It leads to a strange conversation with Abel where you're both speaking about a non-existant force field. Reloading the game reactivate them. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
Necropolis (Watershed, Set)
CONFIRMED Set's dialog options are not applicable or generic you've killed the Watershed mutants. ("standing in my shadow", etc) [Need to do overrides in his script that check for the global variables of the mutants being killed. --Sduibek]
NEW - Not getting good ending. "I checked the conditions for getting the good ending [Per's guide] and met them (fixed water pump, killed super mutants for Set, went there before 110 days and never returned after finishing), however I still did not get the good ending. I did remember killing the door guard to Set's temple place (because he started combat) but I did not kill Set and got the reward from him for killing the super mutants, and the quest was even crossed out on the Pip-Boy." (version 5.3) [Could be related to issue above of Watershed mutants not getting cleared properly. Probably just script issue. On my drive as "Savegame from bozyn" --Sduibek]
The Raiders (Khans)
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. The fight Garl option also appears in the 'I come in peace to negotiate' dialog.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Tandi has only the 'Let's get out of here' float in the Raiders camp. You can't talk to her and ask her to move, which still allows her to block you in corners etc.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. The front door of the big house has a 2 hex entry. You can walk through the wall 1 hex southwest of the door even if the door is closed.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Talking to the Raiders about a bounty on Tandi results in this description: "About 6 feet tall. Blonde. She's from Shady Sands". The Wikia page describes her like this: "six feet tall with raven black hair and a dark complexion". Her icon on the screen is noticeably smaller than that of the Vault Dweller. I recommend changing the game line to: "She's about this height, dark hair, a bit excitable. She's from Shady Sands". Changing the on-screen Tandi icon would be a plus but that's more complex.
NEW - When I attempted to free Tandi I was recognized as Death-Hand, but after successfully convincing Garl to release her, combat was begun by a henchman. The only way I could finish the quest was by moving to an exit square, she can no longer be found in Shady Sands although some characters do recognize the quest has been completed. The doctor has recognized it but does not give free healing.
Also seeing the above (Alpha6.4, Full, XP) except Garl starts combat. Tandi is released and starts fighting the hostile raiders (so she probably died before the other reporter could reach the exit grid). It appears all the raiders go hostile as soon as Tandi is released. Got Tandi out alive and back to Shady Sands and everything seems to be as it should. Save from just before talking to Garl: here
Shady Sands, radscorpion caves
NEW- Agatha doesn't exist even when installing with Full Custom installer & not Fixes Only mode.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Telling Ian your name then selecting dialog option 2 enables the 'Can you give me directions to the Hub and Junktown?' (dialog option 5) next time you speak to him - even if no-one has told you those places exist. I suggest changing the option to 'Can you locate any towns for me?'
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Unlimited antidote from Razlo bug. If you have only 1 Radscorpion tail you can talk to Razlo and he'll turn it into an antidote. If you click 'trade' rather than 'done' you can trade the tail for 10 caps. Click 'done' to end the conversation and you still get the antidote whilst Razlo adds a tail to his inventory, which you can buy back for 11 caps. You can then repeat the process during daylight hours as often as you want. Each transaction still takes 4 hours of game time. I'm not suggesting that trading 1 cap for a 50 cap value antidote is a good use of 4 hours when your Vault is facing extinction but a bug is a bug is a bug. Potentially this bug might exist elsewhere in the game with exchange quests.
NEW - in Shady Sands, Seth didn't say anything about his ill brother, which happens if the Dweller has less than 3-4 intelligence.. But I have 9.
NEW - If you go to Razlo to try & get healed at Shady Sands but don't have the required caps, he turns you away. However there's a dialog option where you can ask to barter instead. Even though I gave him nothing he still acted like I had bartered him something for the healing. Seemed odd. [Not sure if this is fixable, but I'll check. Can maybe make a pointer of his inventory, then compare after Barter screen closed & back in dialog, and if differs, then continue, otherwise give same msg about not enough money. --Sduibek]
UNDUPLICATED Tandi survived Mutant Invasion and now lives in a ghost town all by herself. I saved her and she doesn't even offer her soul for it. [This shouldn't be possible and I think it's fixed but I have to test. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - Seth only thanks for getting rid of the radscorpions after begging for rescue and seeing Tandi rescued - I don't know if it was intended. [Vanilla bug. Can simply check for scorpions and her quest, if scorpions done and hers in progress, display thanks for scorpions, and THEN "my girl Tandi is gone" msgs. After that maybe can make new line that thanks player for both radscorpions and Tandi. --Sduibek]
NEW - Ammo sometimes does not stack in Ian’s inventory. By moving un-stacked ammo from Ian’s inventory to my character’s inventory, they stack properly. This issue also happens at the Khan’s Camp. I also attempted to barter with the Resident Trader for one stimpak, then decided not to barter and returned the stim. This pak did not stack with the other two stimpaks in the Resident Trader’s inventory. [Fixit 5.3, Win XP Pro]
UNDUPLICATED - Dual Tandi bug: "I have rescued Tandi (not fighting the Khans - I just lockpicked her cell and run for exit grid) and returned to her villge, got reward. Even talked to her after rescuing (I hit again the lines regarding boredom and leaving). Then I went to Khans and was greeted by ... Tandi asking for rescue, despite that she was no longer imprisoned!" Mod version: 5.4 (testing), winXP.
CONFIRMED - The storyteller can tell a story, but nothing happens after the screen fades to black. No time has passed, nothing appears in the text box and there isn't any bonus or anything. May need the implementation of a real story, or a small gain in XP, or even maybe a (random ?) bonus (malus ?). (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English). [Stories don't exist in vanilla dialog. Best solution is to just write my own, maybe three, and get XP if player hears them all. Then from then on, just do screen fade maybe? --Sduibek]
NEW - Agatha the storyteller doesn't speak of Tandi's disappearance, even though she should considering that she has lines about that in her dialogue file. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English). [Routing might not exist, or checking of global var. --Sduibek]
NEW - Best ending for Shady Sands (Aradesh+Tandi) even if I don't take the quest to rescue Tandi. Can be tested by finishing the game with this save. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English). [Not sure if this can be fixed without engine conversion, because I can't change which global vars the ending slideshow checks for. --Sduibek]
The Glow
All entries from Nearly Ultimate Guide added. <-- don't remove this line! -- Sduibek 02:13, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3, standard install, Win7 x64. Tycho and Ian are able to walk through the "welded door", in level 1. Apparently, this is not singular. Some other examples: the trapped door, near Set, the ghoul leader; the "out of service" elevator(s), in the Military Base. NPCs should also avoid walking through forcefields (Military Base). NMA user: mhanor
NEW - You'll be exposed to radiation only on the actual Glow maps, but not anywhere on the world map nearby.
NEW - If you get a critical failure while picking elevator doors in the Glow, you'll get the message that you broke your lockpicks even if you didn't use any.
NEW - Engine allows bypass of surface-level rads: "press I for inventory as you're entering the map; you'll only absorb about 10 rems."
NEW - A failed attempt at deactivating the robots advances the clock by five hours (!), whereas a successful one only takes 10 minutes.
NEW - If the power is on and you have turned off the robots, you can use Science repeatedly on any one bot and gain 100 xp for each successful check.
CONFIRMED - "Disarm Traps for the Facility" cannot be completed.
NEW - Alpha 7.0.1, custom install (I forget what all I've got, I was very pick-and-choose with options), Win7 x64. Delta experiments log is just 15 pages of ERROR ERROR ERROR.
Vault 13
ENGINE-BUG/NOT-BUG "If you kill the water thief his body remains on the map - I used the computer in the room on the left...time must have moved forward but the body remained, and the citizens didn't seem to mind one bit. " [1) Bodies don't "age" (decompose) unless you leave the map. Realism-wise it's silly, but game-wise it makes sense, because for example if you rest up after a fierce Random Encounter, the bodies remain to be looted. 2) Can't really have their scripts check for corpse existence, closest I can do is have them say "shame on you for killing him" or something like that. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - weird issues with the Calm Rebel Faction quest. sometimes the proper dialog options don't come up at all no matter when you talk to Theresa. [I've had this happen to me as well. Best is to probably have them exist from the start, and don't disappear. Might also need to remove time-of-day checks. --Sduibek]
NEW - Stupid characters can still talk to the medic in Vault 13's medical bay and get infinite stimpacks. [I thought TeamX patch fixed this? Anyway just need to add a local_var check. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - from paek: I dont get the 'Calm the rebels' quest or the water thief quest even though I'm sure I qualified for them (ver 5.3) [See above. These quests need to spawn earlier and not fade until Water Chip completed (for water thief) and probably never until she's dead, convinced or leaves (rebel faction). --Sduibek]
Vault 15
CONFIRMED, PROTOS - [Level 1] A minor issue - When the cursor is placed over a wall locker, the hand icon appears but when the mouse is clicked, my character leans down as if to pick something up off the floor and nothing happens. I have to click the wall locker several times before it opens, revealing its contents. [Fixit 5.3, Win XP Pro] [Game reads the proto files weirdly... I need to test them to see exactly how it's reading the Pickup flags, so that I can have them properly match the installer "lazy ground pickup animation" option. What they're supposed to do might be reversed. --Sduibek]
NEW - [Level 3] Ian stands next to the south wall. A rat attacks him and Ian stands doing nothing. I have to kill the rat. [Fixit 5.3, Win XP Pro] [Can probably just add damage_p_proc to his script that attacks source_obj. --Sduibek]
NEW - When player exits the cavern on the ladder to the surface, the SMG is deleted from the world. If the SMG is on the ground in the cavern, having been dropped by the player, in the player inventory or in the second equipment slot (not shown), it just disappears. If the SMG is equipped in the first slot (shown), then the game crashes to desktop. Repeatable. This happens with 6.7.2 Custom AND 6.7.2.1, running on Win 8 64-bit. This only happened on this playthrough, using the custom options. Did not occur on earlier "purist" installation, when Ian had the SMG. Because the installer hangs (see below), it is difficult to methodically test each option to determine if one of the extra options is causing the error. Same savegame causes error in "half-purist" installation. Jetjok (talk) 23:41, March 17, 2014 (UTC)
Economy Bugs (Gambling, Free items, etc)
CONFIRMED - EXPLOIT: Gambling is way too easy to get rich: "If your character is based on INT and LCK and has a good Gambling skill, you can make a fortune from nothing in a few minutes just holding number keys 1 to 4. (I made like this from 500 caps to 15 000 in 2 minutes) Would be possible to make for example some restriction, like that you could win only 2000-3000 caps per week on that certain game or even better company in town? So the real gambler would have to drive through whole country to earn something. Then the croupier would ask you to stop with that and if you don't, some guard will you throw out of the casino, beat you and steal your money? That would be really great addition and making it real and less exploitable."
Item Bugs (Inventory, etc)
CONFIRMED - Flares: May have found a bug. A lit flare shows a really high price when trying to sell it to an NPC. For example when I barter, my unlit flare shows a value of $35, while a lit flare shows a value of $60. The NPC won't actually pay the amount shown for the lit flare though (I couldn't even get one to take it for 1 cap either). Also, do lit flares last indefinitely? I've had a lit flare in my inventory for a few hours now. It's my first time playing Fallout 1, and I couldn't find any information regarding it, so I'm not sure if they last forever or not.
[Should be fixed, need to check and test,. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED- I did not check the box which should enable the PC to kneel before a container, but still my PC does so (disabling the "magic hands"). Or does unchecking mean that the PC will kneel?
Installer Bugs
NEW - Make it clear the timers for Necropolis and how they work (for Invasions settings) Potential verbiage: "Both, actually. By default (i.e. the original game and all other patches and mods) Necropolis invasion happens: 110 days after entering Necropolis (no matter what, no exceptions) and the game also gets Necropolis invaded 30 days after defeating the Watershed Super Mutants, if you did that."
NEW - Make it more clear the difference between Full Custom and Fixes Only. Potential verbiage: "Full Custom has available all new contents - everything I've made for Fixt you can install if you download this version (hence why the download size is much larger). Fixes Only, as the name implies, only includes fixes. This is for what we usually refer to as Purists People who don't want the game changed much. And that way they don't have a huge download for stuff they don't need. Fixes Only has some customization available, but just minor stuff - a couple restorations, a couple "maybe fixes", and a few audio/interface customizations." Make sure that: I've removed "Megamod" and "Megapatch" words so hopefully it should be more clear now.
CONFIRMED Doesn't detect Fallout's install path.
NEW - Since 5.3 install. If I hit the "Windows" key to minimize the game, I can't maximize it after that. All I can do is close the screen refresh notification, and the program with right-click on the task bar, but I can't launch the game again after that. I have to close windows session and open it again to be able to. If the problem come from your "launcher", I think normal launch of the game should be better. Launch of screen refresh in the same time should not be an obligation (since all computer doesn't need that). You may just add a screen refresh shortcut to the start menu, or two shortcuts. One with an the other without.
[To me this sounds like an issue either from ddraw, f1_res or an issue on the computer itself (i.e. compatability mode). --Sduibek]
- I updated to the latest version of Fixt and caught the same thing. Luckily, I've SysInternals Process Explorer installed as I have to hunt down something nasty trying to crawl in behind firewalls from time to time, so I go there to check it and see that Fallout is still working, only its window button on the task bar vanishes or ignores my clicks. Can't launch new instances of the game for obvious reasons after that - the first one is still working. But I can easily bring the window up top and resume game using the process explorer nifty functions. After that it works fine. Win XP Pro, English Fallout, no compatibilites used. Just run and play as before. VagabonD SerpenT (talk) 18:14, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
NEW - Installer hangs for a very long time at stage "Installing Direct3D & DirectX Runtime Components 3.0, 3.1, 4.2, 4.2..." Occurs if installer has already successfully run once (presumably not skipping step in which these components are already installed). Eventually an error message pops up saying "Extended Copy Utility has stopped working", after which the rest of the installation process completes normally. This is with Fallout Fixt alpha 6.7.2 - Full Custom Installer and WIn 8.0 Pro 64. Jetjok (talk) 23:26, March 17, 2014 (UTC)
- This could possible be fixed with the methods described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20537321/windows-8-xcopy-problems for giving admin rights temporarily via command line. Will need to have someone with Win 8 test and see if it works. Pending until I can put aside some time to whip up a new "Win8-friendly" batch file. Sduibek

NEW - When i was installing Fallout Fixt ( version Alpha 7.1 ) i got the same error message like "Jetjok". My system is Win 8.1 x64 bit. And i don't know because of that if i can start Fallout then, because im not sure if i will have everything ( and what i picked - i was installing Fixt with some options that i selected myself ) from the instalation. So i would like to know when i launch the game everything is "okay" and if not if this will be fixed, sorry for my English.
2015.05.27 16:12 ( UTC +1)
UPDATE - I looked into the batch files to see which were failing to run xcopy.exe, and from as far as I can tell it's only being used for the backing up or deleting of old save game files. Thus, I believe this error doesn't involve any of Fixit's patches, fixes, added content, etc. I can also confirm this is still occurring in Alpha 7.1. (Posted: June 19, 2015)
Graphics/Visual Bugs
-when fighting in military base i got wierd debug info in log window like "dude pos." followed by some numbers and a couple of other info wich i assume is debug info(FIXT Alpha 7.1 Full Custom/Vista Ultimate x64/GOG english version) gustarballs1983 @NMA
-there is one ghost entry in the pipboy (it's not listed it's just an empty space between two entries as if it was written in space button as characters) and there is one entry that has 15 pages of "Error" written line under line (FIXT Alpha 7.1 Full Custom/Vista Ultimate x64/GOG english version) gustarballs1983 @NMA
NEW - Fixt Alpha 6.7.3, Win 7 64 bits: Changing the resolution does nothing, whatever I do the game keeps opening at the default 640 x 480. I was using the high resolution pack before installing Fixt and it worked fine, only after installing Fixt I get this. Changed the .ini too but no results. I should mention I'm still able to scale it x2, I just can't change the resolution to any value.
CONFIRMED - "A little aesthetic thing I've noticed is that when searching a container, whether it be locker, bookshelf, footlocker, etc., the animation is always that of the Vault Dweller bending down picking up something off the floor." --verevoof
New - The interface button to acces inventory dissapears/replaced by black rectangle. (Can still access to it by keyboard command "I") doesn't have mayor repercutions. Saved file

Killing a Deathclaw in the Boneyard with a "Better Critical" in the eyes from the Alien Blaster first shows the "Better Critical" special death animation, but then the charred corpse goes through the ground and disappears.

Hireling bugs ( Ian, Tycho, Katja, Dogmeat,Mr.Handy, Tandi when she's in your party )
CONFIRMED - Mr. Handy in military base walks too slowly. Needs a run animation. (Will be the same animation, just higher FPS) --Sduibek
CONFIRMED -Mr.Handy in the military base after joining Your party speaks only in float, follows You anywhere but You can't make him step aside or selfheal and he sometimes corners you and You can't talk to him to get the fuck out of the way Sduibek stated it as not correct behaviour but it hasn't been fixed since Alpha 6.7.3 and it's still broken in Alpha 7.1. (FIXT Alpha 7.1/Vista Ultimate x64/GOG English version) gustarballs1983 @NMA [This will be easy to fix after we move to Fo2 engine :) Either way I'll get it fixed in next release. --Sduibek]
NEW - in combat, sometimes NPC will stuck in loop trying to reload a weapon which they don't have the ammo for, and waste all their action points doing so.
NEW - Katja uses "short black hair female" sprite when running.
- I decided to save during combat, to avoid having to manually enter combat mode to shoot Mutants at the Watershed in Necropolis. All recruitables turn against you, apparently because they think you're an enemy though you haven't even caused intentional friendly fire! Breakin'Benny (talk) 17:44, February 26, 2014 (UTC) PS: I'm not sure if this happens even in non-TeamX patched Fallouts, but I'd love to know. It's always a stab in the back when you are attacked for no apparent reason, just because you entered combat mode... A *somewhat* fix for this, seems to be to unstow your weapon before the recruitables get to move, and quickly exit combat.
NEW - Always get Dogmeat: okay, in the alpha 6.4 version of Fixt, Dogmeat is now red (which is stated in the changelog as well) and he automatically joins you even when you didn't give him iguana bits or dressed up with the leather jacket and I can't give him commands like to wait and let him join again... also, when I do get him I thought this was just another bug that was left not being fixed so I didn't get dogmeat yet and made a backup save... now 6.5 is released and rechecked Dogmeat and still the same thing happens. have you noticed this? EDIT: update on my previous post: when I get dogmeat and move on to another map, he doesn't follow me he just stays there and doesn't follow me to other maps... hope u can fix this...

NEW - when I get Dogmeat and move on to another map, he doesn't follow me he just stays there and doesn't follow me to other maps.
NEW - "Standard" install mode doesn't include hirelings changing their appearance when changing armor.
NEW - eighter enable a way to multiply .223 pistol like the gunsmith in the Boneyard, or edit their end level skills so they could wield something like miniguns or alike or even edit the smith to make more turbo-plasmas and one could have him/herself 4 "space marines" which could be crucial for example when fending off mutant invasions.
CONFIRMED - Alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit, GOG Version 1.2, English - Tycho becomes hostile to the player when attacking Skulz gangers because they are residents of Junktown.
NEW - NPCs not levelling up. [I think this is version 6.1 Sduibek (talk) 23:14, October 7, 2013 (UTC)]
NEW - NO CHANGE ARMOR OPTION FOR TYCHO [5.4]
"Tycho has no "Change armor" dialogue option in "Discuss combat tactics"." --ziemeck
CONFIRMED - Hirable NPCs (Tycho/Ian/Katja) can be set to AI types that don't exist. This may cause issues or mean their AI isn't actually changing as the user is led to believe. EXAMPLE "I've encountered an AI issue when I gave Ian a crowbar. When I ask him to switch his fighting tactics, he keeps using a crowbar. I gave him a Desert Eagle .44 which does more damage so I just don't get it." Sduibek (talk) 00:25, August 13, 2012 (UTC)
CONFIRMED - Tycho is designed to attack you if you kill Junktown's citizens, but in some cases he'll help you kill them all before actually turning on you. [I believe this is an engine bug -- once certain variables are set, the game doesn't read them again until after combat ends.Sduibek (talk) 00:25, September 5, 2012 (UTC)] [Didn't realize there was a terminate_attack script option... I'll try this and see if it fixes this issue. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - In Neal's bar (Junktown) there is an agressive Skulz member which will turn hostile along with his friends at the end of his dialog tree. I killed them, which turned the entire gang hostile when I came to them in The Crash House. The problem is that when I specifically kill Sherry (which is the Skulz member keeping the door), even in self-defense, Tycho turns on me, as if killing a regular Junktown citizen. It may be related to the fact that she can be persuaded to leave the gang and testify against them, I'm not sure. This probably happens even when the gang becomes hostile by other means, I just did it that way. It can be tested with this save. (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English)
CONFIRMED - "Tandi's head needs the correct background for each map and each map elevation. Currently we have the raiders background in Vault 13."
Text, Dialog, Spelling, Grammar Bugs
NEW - Centaurs in random encounters are called Floaters. [Need to check script, it's probably doing an override. ~~~~]
CONFIRMED - Came across a pack of wild Coyotes, when talking to them, the text "error" displayed above them as if it was a speech response.
Random Encounter Bugs
NEW - Game crashes due to unknown cause. Not really sure where to put this as it occurs on the world map. I think it may be due to reaching a certain date. From my testing, crash always seems to occur on the world map in one of the first 3 days of July 2162. I've attached a couple photos of the different error messages it has given me. The photos come from different save games so that's why the error message is different. But it always seems to trigger on those days in July. One save game is very close to the crash (it will happen as soon as you try to move on the world map) and the other (it should load at the military base) is a couple days earlier and so the crash won't trigger for a little longer. There seems to be no way around this crash that I've found even by loading my earliest available saved game. UPDATE: Game will also crash if you wait until about July 2nd. Running latest version of Fixt on Windows 7. NMA username: Zeph.

NEW - Raiders spawn in the side of mountain for random encounter. Also saw happen with floaters, both of which were unable to move to attack me. Picture here and save game with raiders here. Running Steam version on Windows 7 64 bit. Fixt 6.4, Full custom options. NMA forum name is "Stuck".
CONFIRMED - For lack of better place, I'll put this one here. Some creatures, like molerats or radscorpions, seem to have bugged scripts. If they see you for the first time, they attack you (which is correct). If you somehow manage to end combat (for example, by sneaking away), they no longer pay you attention even if you walk right next to them. Some actually flee from you for no good reason without initiating combat. Should you save the game and re-load, they attack you like they are supposed to. Fixt 5.3. [Sduibek note: Probably just an easily fixed script issue.Sduibek (talk) 01:41, November 4, 2012 (UTC)] [Sduibek note #2: This is fixed as of 6.x release versions, however, it can still happen in certain rare situations of loading a savegame or ending combat twice. So I need to change the hostile flag to a local variable instead of named variable. Sduibek (talk) 00:51, October 14, 2013 (UTC)]
NEW - Some creatures initiate combat from across the map. This is hard to reproduce, since sometimes when you save and load such a game, their behavior reverts to the one described above. [NEED MORE INFO what creatures, on what maps?]
http://www.4shared.com/archive/WEyFQAEh/SLOT10.html
NEW - Version 6.7.1 Standard (this was also in version 6.1). When encountering Patrick the Celt out in the Wastes he is meant to offer you a speech check in order to gain a Charisma point upon first meeting him - any time after, he does not offer the chance. In my game, however, he treats me as though we have met before and offers me no such conversation. I have reinstalled and restarted the game 3 times to see if I was just being forgetful, but I can confirm he behaves exactly the same each time - he says 'Hello again' even though we have never met, and offers me directions. This occurs even if he is the first encounter in the game, where there is no chance that you could have accidentally missed him.
Happened to me too – I investigated. This is because ARMOR_EQUIP_MOD is set to 1 which means Patrick already knows you – yup a global variable is being used twice, in the vanilla 330 is checked if you are known by Patrick. In Fixt it's used to equip armour on critters. (I did a search in files on *.ssl source with Notepad++ for “global_var(330”, etc and hullo – Is originally used in PATRICK.SSL to check if you have already met! 0=No; 1=Yes).GazDone (NMA)
Player (skills, traits, reputation, addictions, etc)
Alpha 6.7.3 Win7 - The "Skilled" perk is not working, Not getting the extra 5% bonus when XP is earned.
AFAIK you do get the XP bonus, it just doesn't show on the "chat". Try to memorize your current XP, kill any random enemy, and look at your current XP again. It should have added that extra 5/10% to whatever XP you got. Ex: If you have 1000 current XP and you have 1026 after killing a rat, then the bonus 5% has been applied.
CONFIRMED - "I can't feel any being overweight consequences I can run like a f***in' champ, I can trade with traders carring three times more than I can lift it (i haven't got any information that i can't carry anything more). "
CONFIRMED - Karma/Addict entries mixed up. Entries in Karma tab all seem to have the wrong image and text. 'Juicer' has the 'Psycho' information and 'Juicer' has the 'Berserker' image and information, despite I believe being acquired through a Buffout addiction. (This is from the user who had -80 Reputation from being "evil")
"I did some thinking and the addictions looking off may be related to Berserker, something that not too many people find themselves getting simply due to how limited a true 'evil' path throughout the game may be and how much effort is required to accumulate it. (It's admittedly hilarious when I happen to get 'Juicer' with the Berserker description. Juice indeed.) I did not have Childkiller but I was supposed to have Berserker listed."
[Seems that Berserker is broken in Fallout 1; I've tried even in vanilla installations and the Berserker flag is checked by the game, but it doesn't make its own entry under Karma, it just replaces whatever the first entry is. Very strange. And unfortunate, because really the only fix is to remove Berserker or just deal with it. Sduibek (talk) 14:40, October 21, 2013 (UTC)]
NEW - Reputation Glitches. Reputation of -80 from playing "evil" character. Noticing that people are reacting to me as if they have met me before. Examples are leader of the rebel movement in the Vault, rejecting me as one of the Overseer's pawns when I haven't talked with her yet, and Harry in Necropolis, whom simply stated to me that he thought he should beat my head -- no other options were available. Fixt 5.2
Alternatively, it can start to 'kick on' on my second meeting with various people. I would provide to you more names, but I am incapable of remembering who this has occured to as it has been so many. (Player had INT and CH of 10, wasn't a Childkiller.)
[Some of this is how Fallout does Reputation/Karma - it's global. Some of the others may be scripts that just oversight. In other words if they dislike you it overrides other stuff. Will need to test to confirm. --Sduibek]
Endgame (the "endgame mod" and slideshow, credits)
CONFIRMED - Player's Karma/Reputation drops to 100 or raises to -100, respectively, if it's outside of those ranges, when beating the game.
NEW - The Overseer's shattered corpse did teleport into the air, then through the closed vault door, and then disappeared after I hit him in the back of the head with the Super Sledge.
Engine Bugs
NEW - Alpha 6.7.3 Win 7 x64. I can't take quests. They don't appear in my PipBoy after taking them, and if I talk with whoever gave me the quest, he tries to give me the quest again. I can still complete some, but not all of them as other quests need to be active in order to either access their location or complete it! I only have these quests active: Find the water chip, Bust the Skulz gang, and Become an Initiate. I've tried to get the quest of the missing caravans, the quest of killing the death claws (the one the Gun Runners give you), the quest of killing the Blades, the quest of giving the holodisc to the major of Adytum and a bunch of other quests. EDIT: Here's the save: http://ge.tt/78iwCoA2/v/0?c
NEW - "Second bug what i've found is the issue of addiction. reduced statistics are not marked in red. But it's vey small bug."
NEW - I didnt get any bogus aim blocks with the very curious exception of the very same rocket launcher mutant that killed me the first time around. I don't know why - when I'm standing in front of Lou from the northwest side, it looks like I have clear shot at him and his 2 guards. I can target the one with the minigun but the bazooka one is obscured.
[User has been asked to try again now that we have f1_res 4.1.7 which should have fixed the issue. Also if that fixed it, I'll try again with reduced player light radius and see if that was part of the issue. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED, UNFIXABLE? - When bartering, it's impossible to satisfy the other side if you're trying to sell a Geiger counter already used, even for no more than a few seconds. Even giving the Geiger without asking anything in return doesn't work. (This may also apply to other items with charges, such as Motion Sensor or Stealth Boy.) Can be tested with the Geiger in this save. [As far as I know, this is not fixable even in the Fallout 2 engine. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED, UNFIXABLE? - "Getting critically hit and knocked off my feet doesn't actually knock me off my feet, nor do I suffer AP loss." [No idea how to fix this one. Exists in Fallout 2 as well. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED, UNFIXABLE? - Critters experiencing a Critical Failure will turn into a container. [Not sure about this one, if it's fixable or if it exists in Fallout 2's engine. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED, WAITING ON ENGINE UPGRADE - Swift Learner doesn't change the display of experience earned in message window. For example killing rats it says 25 XP even though you're getting 26 XP (rank 1) or 27 XP (rank 2). [This cannot be fixed until we move to Fallout2 engine. --Sduibek]
CONFIRMED - AP ammo sucks. "Could you maybe change some values so that AP ammunition is more effective or at least justifies its existence? I would think that AP ammo would be harder to find, cost more, but generally be better than regular ammunition." [Still having trouble with this one :( Only thing I know of at the moment is editing the Protos do make them do more damage. Not sure if this works but i'll test it. Either way, this resolves when we switch to FO2's engine. --Sduibek] Armor-Piercing ammo in Fallout 1
CONFIRMED - "After finishing Unity and destroying Military Base game ends despite not bringing the Water chip". [Not exactly an Engine bug, but sort of, so leaving it here. --Sduibek]
Audio/Sound Bugs
CONFIRMED - The music seems to glitch out some times, like if it tried to begin again in the middle of a track, and then return to normal. I don't really know how to describe this ... (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English)

Classifications
The status messages for these are as follows:
ADDED - This is currently implemented in my personal files of Fixt, which means it will be included in the next release.
PLANNED - I plan on including this in Fixt, though it may be low priority. You can definitely expect to see this in a later version of Fixt. If it's something some people won't like, it'll be an optional install.
UNSURE - I am still deciding whether or not I want to include this in Fixt, or whether it's a valid issue/concern at all. Please discuss by adding comments to the entry (use 4 tildes to add your signature)
CONSIDERING - Will probably include it at some point, but not 100% sure.
NEW - Please use this if you've made a new entry and you aren't Sduibek. He will read it and update to one of the above classificiations.
Entries
PLANNED - Allow interruption of invasions after master/vats are destroyed. Quote from NMA: "i.e. have the followers and Necropolis destroyed but so Junktown and the Hub stay uninvaded indefinitly since the master and VAT's have been eleminated?"
NEW - [from Vault11 at No Mutants Allowed] - "The following list isn't based on any mathematics or harder ideals on balancing, I simply put in values that I thought would give me a tough choice between all of them when it came time to pick the perks, and make it worth it for such a scarce resource (only 7 of them per game). Some effects of the perks (such as Friendly Foe) have nothing to do with their original/effects values, since the originals were so underwheming and not helpful at all, i.e. totally worthless. A lot of the rebalance is just dividing the same end result of three perk levels into two, such as 3 ranks of perk x for 10 each turning into 2 ranks for 15 each. I felt the creators were close enough on the final number to make a good investment, but dividing it into three ranks made the investment way too high to go to the end.
I also tried to make it so heavy investment would leave you bare in other areas, for example, if you wanted to make a tank character you would choose 3 ranks of Toughness for 45% DR and 2 ranks of Lifegiver for 50 health, but you would have just two perks relating to all of your various skills and abilities for the entire playthrough. Master of defense and nothing else. Or, you could have largely diversified perks to be the jack of all trades and master of none. Or a 3/4 split. Just depends. As we all know, maybe 30 of the perks are extremely marginal and never worth the choice unless you are roleplaying with high detail to your character. I was hoping to change it to the model of every single perk is worth it, and therefore careful consideration must be taken to choose. And I didn't choose these new values to make the invincible character of my dreams; I would still probably never use about 10 of them simply because they would never fit my values and playstyle (Swift Learner for example). And some, a lot of players would probably never use - my change to Fast Healing to make Doctor and First Aid use less time is useful to my playstyle in which I make heavy use of both skills constantly, and I would greatly benefit to cut down on the passing time... though most would fail to see the point, I believe. In any case, the goal is that they are powerful in the right hands that desire them.
The one I can't think of a new use for is Mental Block, I simply draw a blank when it comes to making anything relevant to it's original use."
- (I have a little objection: Crafty has released an unofficial version 1.19 of Sfall, it allows setting the maximum level in-game from 21 to 99. Unfortunately I have not tested it, but it might keep the perks available! --Breakin'Benny (talk) 14:10, June 15, 2015 (UTC)
NEW - Since moving to Fo2 engine where follower NPCs do have a carry weight limit on the contrary to Fo1 there is a potential problem of having to travel back and forth from raider base to nearby city (eg. junktown) because after killing all theese raiders there is so much loot from them that even with 10 str and IAN in party one is not goint to be able to carry it all at one go. to counter this eigther make theese two slaves You rescued a temprary party (eg. two battered scarred girls left aroud a pile of bodies in a middle of nowwhere could be escorted to nearby city [shady sands or junktown] and they'll help You carry Your stuff. Or alternatively there can be additional npc at the raiders map in already closed prison cell #2 next to the one where tandi is held hostage. this NPC could join Your party after the fight and be a permanent party member. As of how he could be like he could have 10 STR so carry weight limit would be 275 additionaly as he levels up new proto files could have carry weght limit further pushed upward (it could simulate picking of carry weight perks or pack rat perk by that npc) so he could max out at 475lbs wich is a legit in game limit of 10str (275lbs)+3x strongback perk (3x50lbs)+pack rat perk (50lbs)=475lbs he could specialize eigther in unarmed/melle or energy weapons (yes there would be finally a use for that second turboplasma rifle found in game [as if nobody knows one of the super mutants in master's vault has it - level 4 where the nuke is] as of how could he look like I thought that he could use a black male model in game his name could be for example Jo (as this falls in nice in the southwestern folklore) not to mention black male model is fully supported in terms of graphic (be it armor and/or weapons) by Fo2 Restoration project (sgt. Cat Joules uses this model) so all the frm's are here just need to put them together. As of how Jo could behave well Jo could be a mercenary for hire so to hire him we'd need to pay him in caps this may sound wierd but a script for such a person already exists. it's probably never been used but belive me it exists it's a part of cpt.Corpse cheating tool for Fo1 there are additional scripts to use with this mod and i fiddled with the cheating tool way back when there was no FIXT yet there was an option to pick a script from a number and attach a proto to it so i i tested those scripts one by one and on a Super Mutant Lieutenant proto and i actually got myself a lieutenant mercenary for hire canYou belive it!!! so I'm quite sure this can be retrofitted into a black male model to have that extra carrying power we'd be missing in Fo2 engine.. gustarballs1983 @NMA (I see a problem with this, the fact being that you can get leather/metal armor way earlier than intended before traveling to the Boneyard. It could be solved by giving the raiders leather jacket dude appearances, firstly to fix the problem with massive profit using the dead guys' armor. ---Breakin'Benny (talk) 08:05, April 7, 2015 (UTC))(wait.. Boneyard?!when i reach Boneyard i already have Combat Armor from hub merchant... or by saying Boneyard You actually ment Junktown?! besides raiders have tons of stuff that should be carried in one go to the Junktown so eighther adding a mule NPC to the game or reduce amount of stuff raiders have -the latter option is dumb since after engine conversion Sduibek can fix bartering so that shopkeepers actually charge You more instead of less for any goods they sell when compared to the value of what You have to sell- besides raiders sepose to be well armed a.k.a."a tough bunch" so i see no reason to reduce the amout of stuff they have.. not to mention purists would freak out..)
NEW - Jennifer (Brotherhood of Steel Paladin) was planned to be a romantic interest for male player characters, and although her dialog is preserved in the game files, the romantic subplot was never finished and is not accessible in-game. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/JENNIFER.MSG
NEW - If we move to the Fallout 2 engine, will it be possible to add those new character models that are made for Fallout 2? I mean, for example, the long hair dude, and those that are in the RP for Fallout 2.
NEW - Do you plan on adding Scrapheap or Burrows to the game?
- I doubt the Burrows would be implementable, as there is no map or anything about it around except in the Fallout Bible. Scrapheap can still be done though, its map file JUNKDEMO.MAP still exists! --Breakin'Benny (talk) 14:23, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Garl says you can win Tandi's freedom by knocking him out. Landing an AP reducing blow to a leg has the same effect and is easier to achieve. If you disable Garl there's no advantage in letting him live. You lose 50 XP for the rescue quest but gain 275 XP for the kill. I suggest either 1) Changing the 'knock me out' line to 'disable me'; 2) Change the fight to a death match; 3) Change the fight to a Fallout 2 Reno style boxing match; 4) Have Garl continue the fight even with an injury, (which probably requires 1 more AP); 5) Have the Raiders immediately turn hostile if you killed a defenseless Garl.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. There's no option to capture Gizmo alive. Killian and the Vault Dweller make an effort to do things by the book rather than just kill Gizmo. Ideally Gizmo would have more, (and better armed), guards but he'd surrender if they're all killed and he's outnumbered 3, (or more), to 1. (Potentially this could lead to a break Gizmo out of jail quest from the Skulz...and a new way to implicate them for Lars).
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. There’s no option to lock doors. I understand this could change if and when the engine is converted.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. There’s no option to help the bruised and battered women in the Raiders camp without killing the Raiders.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Some female raiders in the Raiders camp have only 15 HP, (less than the bruised and battered women). That’s too low.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. The Raiders don't pose a great enough threat and there's nearly 40,000 caps in booty to be had. I suggest either: 1) Upgrading the spear to range 22 and replacing throwing knives with spears, or 2) Replacing spears with throwing knives which are revalued at 30 caps, or 3) Sticking with basic pistols, knives, crowbars and clubs.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. There are no dogs in the Raiders camp. It would be nice to have some dogs on the same team as/helping the raiders.
Alpha 6.7.3 Win XP. Rescuing Tandi is too easy. Picking the cell lock and running avoids any confrontation with Garl. If allowed the lock pick check should be higher. The 'I represent a threat you don't even understand' check is too low. I recommend a re-write that makes prevents the lock pick option without the threat of damaging/losing the lock picks. A description stating: 'The lock is beyond you. A cell key is required' would be better. I'd replace the lock picks in the fridge with a cell key in the desk, which also makes the rest of the game harder. This allows a steal option requiring a very high steal skill. (Placing a key on Garl or another raider creates the possibility of that character leaving the screen and not returning and thus preventing a quest completion). You shouldn't get any quest points until you return to Shady Sands. XP for a non-violent conclusion should be higher.
NEW - Would you please incorporate part of the Fallout Update Mod? It includes the possibility to actually search for the Children spy amongst the Followers with Neil, Peter, Jake and even Heather (but between two bookcases instead of near the "Stuff" on the right), then we have that quest involving Romero & Julianna, becoming a Blade and gaining Fire's including other Blades' respect...too bad they are quite hostile, like the Tandi-alike lady in the top-right who can turn hostile with just a few wrong dialogue choices. Wouldn't it also be nice if you could restore anything Nicole'd say regarding the Rippers? Morpheus was of course a Ripper before he left in search for power.
- Yes really, that was the old name before it became today's Fallout 1 Restoration Project, so why did some of its content not get carried over, like the cut Followers or the possibility to do the Romero & Julianna quest? --Breakin'Benny (talk) 18:16, May 24, 2014 (UTC)
PS: You can find me on Skype as lampison, mail me at fox@blaj.net or fox.wernicke@gmail.com (mail adresses).
CONSIDERING - it just seems more realistic that an explosive trap would only go off once, an electrical trap would be different, and I could even see the spear traps in Fallout 2 resetting a few times. Though I suppose if you came back after a day or so the traps in the Thieve's Circle could be replaced. Same thing in the Glow if you leave an active robot behind the first time.
PLANNED - is there will be a possibility to fight the invasion off? But I guess that might be too difficult to implement into the game. Considering that there is a mention: invasion of V13 -> end of game.
CONSIDERING - Have option available to change in-game font colors.
PLANNED - Traps: make more dangerous, add more, etc. Make the Traps skill a more useful and utilized skill to invest in.
NEW - When will someone have the courage to decompile the .exe files of Fallout 1 and 2? Several, if not A LOT of problems, could have been solved if this was done a long time ago. Honestly, I don't understand the fear that the developers feel about Bethesda, I doubt the company will do anything about this as long as everything keeps being free and even if Bethesda had a problem with it the company surely would send a cease/desist message about it. Also, regarding the difficulty of the decompilation, i believe HEX-RAYS IDA DECOMPILER generates C data instead of the feared ASM data what obviously makes the task easier. I REALLY hope the developers have some courage to make this go forward. Stop feeling fear.
- [Oh wow, a decompiler that generates C code? That's actually really cool, I'll check that out. Thanks! --Sduibek]
ALMOST FINISHED - BROTHERHOOD ARMORY ACCESS - enable player to trade with Brotherhood's bunker stash on first level, without player being attacked after. (like make a new NPC or edit a script of an existing one so that he/she opens a selectable trade window of every box within the stash (the place north west to the entrance of the bunker/facility).
there's a ton-a-stuff there ammo stimps and additional 2 sets of power armor wich is crucial to equip party npc's when having TeamX's npc mod (one from saving initiate from the Hub, one fixed from the knights on lvl 3 and there are two in the stash)
so total of 4 power armors 1 for the player and three for party npc's
npc mod looks kind of unfinished when one has to do the old save-mod trick/cheat to have them equipped for decent survival-ability.
-Yes it could be good to be able to open the doors in the brotherhood bunker, even if someone behind is hostile, OR be able to use the lockpick skill in combat to open the doors :p
NEW - BARTER BALANCE - write some scripts to all the traders that control their barter skill level so it's always equal percent level higher than players like player barter level% +10% or 15% or whatever amount is appropriate.
because in Fo1 when player barter lvl > npc trader barter lvl than player gets to rip-off all NPC traders' stuff and it's like barter 60% that is required to do it.
IN PROGRESS - NPC RESTORATIONS - A lot of characters (cut from the vanilla game and who would be added by your mod, I presume) with dialogues in the dialogue file are missing in the game (like Amber). Is it normal ? (alpha 5.3, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Steam version in French but Fixt put it in English).
- Not a bug or anything like that, it's just because I haven' gotten to restoring many characters yet. There's so many neat things to add, and fix, and bugs to squash, that restorations are pretty much on the back-burner at the moment. First restoration to be worked on will be making the invasions better, next will be quests and characters. Sduibek (talk) 07:15, August 29, 2013 (UTC)
CONSIDERING, WAITING FOR ENGINE UPGRADE - "200 steal does not guarantee success though, even with 10LK - which is lame"
Yeah steal definitely needs to be reworked. This can be done fairly easily in Fallout 2's engine.Sduibek (talk) 08:57, October 10, 2013 (UTC)
NEW - Getting access to Brotherhood Armory peacefully (without Sneaking or explosives). Maybe you could use your roomie (Jerry) as a patsy. Trick him into opening the door, then as he's being arrested use the distraction to sneak into the room. You might be able to trick Vree into signing a requisition form if you distract her with something neato and scientific.
- I've always thought it would be cool to have a "quest" at the Brotherhood that allows a player to become either a Scribe or a Paladin. Similar to the above-mentioned requirements, this would require them to have completed all possible Brotherhood quests, and have a decent Reputation/Karma (getting Power Armor from Talus requires 16, so let's say this one would require something like 20 or 25).
- It wouldn't necessarily give you access to tons of better equipment, but that would allow you access to the armory (per the statements of the armory guards) and maybe could boost the pertinent skills or something.
The problem with that is, talking to Vree/Maxon about that wouldn't be very cool because of course they don't have dialog for it.
Which means the only way to have it be "seamless" is if you have to ask the Elders. Because since they aren't talking heads you could add the dialog without it being obviously player-implemented. Hmm.
NEW - Did you change the way gambling works? It is a lot cooler than it used to be, but the fading out animation seems a bit too slow. I guess I could speed it up in the ddraw.ini, but then it would accelerate all the other instances of fading out, which is less than ideal.
NEW - About the invasion timers. In the vanilla 1.0 the time limits were supposed to change based on your decisions. Hiring the water merchants made mutants find your vault faster (by 100 days), and every time you used the services of the Followers, the invasions would speed up by 1 day. Is this feature still in the game, and, if not, are there plans to restore it?
NEW - Last time I played with the invasion mod, I notice that it had a catastrophic impact on game balance because the items on the characters remain intact. I had collected 70 Stimpacks from the Boneyard maps (yes, I counted them), as well as the highest-tier weaponry, for free, no later than 90 days in the game. Most of the stuff came from the Regulators. I suppose you didn't change anything in how the invasions were handled, did you? The issue can be solved by removing the items from the bodies.
CONSIDERING, LIKELY - SHOP INVENTORY GO TO CONTAINER(S), NOT CORPSE
- "Maybe on killing the shopkeeper his inventory should be accessible on the table he used to stand next to. This might regard all traders anyway." -- ziemeck [I agree, for realism/cointinuity this makes sense for many shopkeepers/shops in-game. --Sduibek]
PLANNED, WAITING FOR ENGINE UPGRADE - "Is it possible to restore the good endings for the Hub and Followers Of The Apocalypse?"
PLANNED - Make armor drop less, or not at all, or always based on their appearance, upon critter death. Can be implemented via sfall. Check existing mods as this should already exist.
PLANNED - "Would it be possible to make the installer output a log that would contain the options that someone chose during installation? It'd probably be convenient for reporting in case a mod you add later on makes an important NPC explode for some reason."
PLANNED - "It also seems a lot of the objects and characters simply say, "You don't see anything unusual" or however the line went, I always thought more things had decently descriptive lines."
- [This is a valid point. I've added some already but adding more in the future sounds good to me. --Sduibek]
CONSIDERING - "I always felt depressed about taking Zimmerman's quest and in the end watched him being shot by his guard. There should be a way to save him, like a dialog note during the final conversation with him that the Regulator behind him prepares his weapon and then give the turn to the player, so that it is possible to take this guard out and help Zimmerman survive, of course a Zimmerman-Razor conversation after all the fighting is done would be nice, and all the apologizing and forgiving. [and that fuzzy feeling up Dweller's toes]" [gustarballs1983]
PLANNED, MULTIPLE REPORTS - scripts checking if player is messing with their stuff, and to get mad at / attack player accordingly "There are some characters, such as the doctor in Shady Sands, who get upset if they see you going through their shit. I always wished that script was enabled in more characters, because it really adds to the realism if you can't simply steal what few items these poor people have without them bating an eyelash." [Dravean] -- "I second that - people should give one warning and then attack the PC if attempts to steal their stuff...this should cover all the merchants, etc." [.Pixote.] -- "Yup. I agree. It's silly in both games that you can walk into people's rooms/houses and rifle through their stuff. " [Josan12]
PLANNED - Unify text float colors. Red is usually used for anger, but isn't always, etc. Basically change the colors of the ones that aren't following the "rules" that most of the others are.
[example "Back while I was reporting bugs in F1 to Wasteland Ghost, she was about to fix the color of Shady Sands' defenders, changing them from red to yellow." ]
PLANNED -- "Have you ever considered adding some more wandering peasants/citizens? As is, there's hardly any people in the streets. The town just seems so empty to me; Shady Sands is comparatively bustling with all sorts of rabble, dogs, and kids roaming around. It would be nice to see a couple drunkards loitering outside the Skum Pitt at night, or some losers who lost all their money hanging around outside the casino. Just some life." [This applies to not just Junktown]
PLANNED - Information on the exact effect of the addictions. Consider adding to game or at the very least a readme/manual.
PLANNED -- more exit grids on certain maps "For example if you're at the Gun Runners it's quick getting there, but once you want to get back to the map you have to run a lot. It would be nice with more exit grids IMO."
UNSURE -- "Addict status from RadAway and Rad-X also doesn't feel right to me, to me they would be taken akin to the way we take asprin. " [RadAway addict is from vanilla game, Rad-X is not.]
CONSIDERING -- "Would you kindly include Gauss weaponry in this super-mod of yours? Just a pistol and a rifle, with something like 100 or 200 limited ammo, at The Glow, will suffice."
- ^ Counterpoint: [[snip], this is a bad idea because] "Getting it at the Glow would make it available even before you get the laser pistol and stuff from the BoS. "
- Support-point: In the considered suggestions, Big Guns and Laser Weapons (the weaker ones, anyway. [Laser Pistol for energy weapons. Maybe port the M60 from Fallout 2 with reduced damage for Big Guns?) would be available earlier on in the game for players who chose to tag those skills.
PLANNED - Make Big Guns more useful (esp early and mid-game) "Use Flame Pistol graphic from Fallout 2 in some kind of flame-pistol-ish weapon, as early BG weapon?" [Another option is that Fallout 2 has a "pistol burst" graphic. So there is a pistol flamethrower and pistol burst animation. Those should be sufficient for some "low-level Big Guns" weapons Sduibek (talk) 02:07, August 17, 2012 (UTC)]
PLANNED - Make starting skills generate better items (and get items from skills that currently give nothing at all)
PLANNED - Make Energy Weapons more useful (esp early and mid-game) (by making laser pistol etc more available and available earlier on, at shops, BoS, etc?)
CONSIDERING - Adding some extra spice to the scenery in some areas (rocks, trees, cacti, etc. a good example of this would be adding some of this "clutter" in the area outside of Shady Sand's walls)
PLANNED (EVENTUALLY) - Doing code edits in the executable (requires C++ and Assembly) for fixing various engine bugs. Some of these apply even if we begin using the Fallout 2 engine for Fixt. Tools such as OllyDebug will help.
PLANNED - Splash screens, new ones. some made by Sduibek and some by others. I have about a dozen on my drive, it's just a matter of implementing them into the installer in a way that the user can see thumbs of each and select individually which ones they want.
NOT POSSIBLE? - "Sduibek, is it possible to fix the script for the PC so they can throw a flare (or grenade) into an area without having to throw it at a target" [not possible without major code edits due to engine limitations, as far as I know]
PLANNED - "Sduibek, would it be possible to add dead Super Mutants after an invasion? I doubt the Brotherhood of Steel would've been breached without killing at least one of the Mutants." Yeah that's a really good point. Changed to Planned. Thanks! Sduibek (talk) 18:16, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
CONSIDERING - Time of day affects encounters: Ex. Raiders during the day and Deathclaws at night.
CONSIDERING - Regarding your proposed "Survival" mod: Weight affects traveling speed, the player character has to sleep (rest), including eat.
PLANNED - Make Tandi into a full NPC.
UNSURE - "Do you know if it's possible to shorten the Vault Dweller's weapon animations when he interacts with objects/doors/etc? It's irked me from day one that whenever you do something as simple as opening a box you have to watch him twirl a pistol around, holster it, fiddle with the box, straighten up, draw the pistol again, THEN the screen pops up. In 1&2 I'm in the habit of never having both item slots occupied specifically for this reason. I know having objects magically fly open at your command or seeing your guy lockpicking with his hands full isn't exactly much better, but it really adds up after a while."
PLANNED, WAITING ON ENGINE UPGRADE - restoring missing endings in the ending slideshow. I can't do this now because it requires obnoxious code-edits, but once we go to the Fallout 2 engine this'll be easy.
NEW - You can edit weapon perks to give them abilites such as +20% accuracy, +40% accuracy or ignoring an armor's DT. This could prove a suitable replacement for the non-functioning AP/FMJ ammo choices for various weapons.
[Reminder to self: Files for this from user are in my email archive. --Sduibek]
- Ignores armor DT:
- 10mm Pistol
10mm SMG
14mm Pistol
5mm Assault Rifle
5mm Minigun
- 20% Accuracy Bonus:
Desert Eagle
Hunting Rifle
.223 Pistol
- 40% Accuracy Bonus:
Sniper Rifle
NEW - To make the nightstick melee weapon actually see some action (seriously, who fights with that?), I suggest that either the player's starting knife be replaced by a club or that the knife collection in Vault 13's weapon storage room be replaced by clubs. Basically, the idea is to make clubs available earlier somehow.
NEW - When you start Fallout, and then press Load Game, the default-selected save slot is always slot 1. How about you make it so, that the default selected save slot would be the last changed savegame, that is, which date is closest to current date? That way, it would be easier to determine which was the current savegame. I always keep forgetting that.
NEW - If you take Ian into the Maltese Falcon, he mentions live music. Maybe the bar should have a band.
NEW - In Junktown, when you complete the optional objective of eliminating Gretch, Doc Morbid, Flash and Cougar further halt Iguana Bob's operations, you do not gain any karma points for any of the kills. Instead you lose karma points for killing Flash and Cougar (Note you seemingly do not lose or gain any for killing Doc Morbid or Gretch). This to me seems silly, as they are evil characters to me since they do help chop up people and sell them. This has annoyed me each time I played the game. To see a +1 karma point for the player killing Gretch, Doc Morbid, Flash and Cougar - either the player or his party members that is - would be what I suggest here. (I also notice the Junktown guards do not care if you kill them. Maybe it was just something left out?)
Another idea would be to report it to maybe Larz at the guard station (of course not Killian, since he is a floating head and all) so that they all can be thrown into the towns small prison. Maybe when you walk by and have also busted the Skulz, they can start ruffing these two up with some serious taunting, maybe cornering them (being Gretch & Doc Morbid). And if Flash & Cougar are alive, maybe the player can go down and help arrest them, giving they might put up a fight. However, I would suggest being able to talk them out of fighting to. So that way maybe Gretch & Doc Morbid do not get ruffed up as mentioned. ... Maybe a few taunts thrown back and forth instead between the Skulz and Cougar maybe, as well as a bit from Flash. And a XP gain of either 100 or something up to 400 would be nice for completing this as well. Peaceful still earning more as usual I would assume. Also, if the player does not help in the arrest, Flash & Cougar vanish AKA are dead. And when the arrest is taking place, maybe a mention of them most likely going to be hung if combat starts? Thanks for reading my big idea. My apologies. ~Nuka-Social
