Restoration Project bug reports

This page is solely dedicated to posting bugs found through playing Killap's Fallout 2 Restoration Project mod. Bugs will be categorized by location and by whether or not they are confirmed, unconfirmed, fixed, etc.

Bug Reports

After new versions of the mod are released, all bugs that were fixed will be taken off of this page. Remember, posting bugs here will give killap easier access to them and he will fix them quicker.

Posting bugs (Read this before submitting a report)

Please, you MUST provide these details when describing your problem:

• Your Operating System, The Fallout 2 Version, Language and Installation Type (e.g. Windows 7 64-Bit, v1.0, US, Humongous Instalation)
• The F2RP Version and Installation Method of F2RP and Fallout 2 (e.g. F2RP 2.2 .exe Installer or Manual Instalation and Fallout 2 installed through Windows, GOG or Steam Installer)
• Any other installed mods or patches (the best thing to do is NEVER install other mods or patches with the F2RP, this avoids all kinds of problems)
• A savegame close to the place, person or people where the problem happens (NEVER save during combat to avoid corruption or any other kinds of problems)

If you want to post a bug that killap will actually take the time to review or fix, you MUST provide the save game to make the bug fixing easier. There are two ways you can post here showing a bug:

• 1: Use the "F12" key to take screenshots. These are acceptable for bugs that can be seen in things like dialogue or character appearances. Images can be posted on an image sharing website, like Photobucket, Imageshack, etc, and then linked here with ["image url" (<-- put a single space here -->) "screenshot name"].

• 2: For bugs that are easier shown in-game, please upload a copy of a Save Game. Always avoid to save during the combat to avoid bugs. The files for a saved game should be found in the directory Fallout 2 --> data --> savegame --> Slot 1, or however it looks on your computer. These files can also be uploaded to a virtual drive like skydrive or 4shared. These sites 4shared and skydrive provide virtual drives and the registration is free, remember to visit the sites once every 29 days to avoid the files being deleted. In addition, many ISPs still give their customers some free web-page / online file-storage space, so you can zip up the folder for the savegame slot you're sharing, upload it to your ISP userspace, and then link to that file from here.

Locations

 The Abbey

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Stealing from Brother Samuel. If he notices that you're stealing from him, he does nothing (no warning or fighting). SavegameEdit: Same thing with Brother Matthew, Brother Max, Brother Jason, Brother Hank, Brother John, Sister Elaine, trader monk, both Petersons, Bill, Tom and those three merchants near water pump. -Mirak (Yup, looks like nearly all the people at the Abbey do not react to you stealing from them. I've corrected this. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) You can steal whole inventory of "monk the trader" (probably intentional) - Mirak (Assuming you don't get caught. You should in theory get caught if the numbers are against you. -killap) -Yes, you can get caught.

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Marcus armor. When I buy armor for Marcus, he just disappears. There's a green floating line "It fits nicely" in a place where Marcus was standing, but that's it. Game still acts like he's in a group though and his floating lines are still appearing. I remember that Marcus' armor wasn't working for me even back in 2010, but don't remember if it behaved in the exact same way. (But I'm currently playing F2 on totally different computer than 3 years ago) Savegame-Mirak (Works just fine for me. Did you choose the option for Marcus armor in the installer? -killap)  Yes, I did. (Bizarre. Do you have files inside your Fallout2\data\art\critters directory that begin with: "MALIE". Also, did you install the armors for Sulik/Cassidy/etc (i.e. the humans) as well? -killap) Only this one "MALIEUKL". No I didn't. -Mirak (That's it then. It's an installer error. It only copies the Marcus frms when you choose the human ones but you can only get the armor if you choose the marcus armor option. So yeah, in your case you can get the armor, but none of the animations are copied over. Obviously this is bad. Fixed. -killap) Is there some way for me to still get the armor now by copying certain files or is it not posibble?

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) I think there's a redundant line "Nothing out of the ordinary" when you examine Mrs. Peterson. Screenshot-Mirak (Yup, in addition to displaying the correct line it was also incorrectly displaying the default generic description. Fixed. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When you talk to Brother Jason for the first time and you offer him escort to Gecko you can't mention tragic card player Wooz, so you can't persuade him right away. You have to talk to him again and then mention him. I think it's little confusing, because how should player know that information is relevant if he can't mention it the first time. (If you need a savegame you can use the one from previous bug report.) -Mirak (Two issues here. You could get that line even if you never talked with Wooz. And talking with Wooz never set the proper variable anyway. Both fixed. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Wrong/incomplete descriptions? ScreenshotScreenshot 2-Mirak (It's because these are the default descriptions for these critters. I did change "Sm" to read as "Small". -killap)

• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Quest with whereabouts of Samuel and Tully doesn't want to cross out and I don't have required dialog options anymore with either of them. Probably Tully being the open end and something messed up when I gave Abbey hootch to him without mentioning Samuel, told Samuel about Tully though. Savegame- Xellos

Arroyo

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Not really sure if it's a bug, but it's weird, because I don't think that vanilla F2 does this. It doesn't really happen every time I try this, but sometimes when I use Steal on one any generic Arroyo tribesman (or tribeswoman) I instantly lose 3 karma points. I didn't even try to steal anything, just using the Steal did that. The whole randomness of this got me thinking if this is some kind of failed Steal check that occurs when I use Steal on someone, but then again, it happens only with generic tribesmen.
  Here's the savegame (Charname stands near that villager, if it doesn't work load the savegame again): https://www.4shared.com/rar/1FbGoIOR/SLOT01.html(As discussed in the thread over at NMA, this is by design from the original devs. Anything bad you do to your tribe has repercussions, even just using the steal skill and not doing anything. -killap)

Broken Hills

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, RP version 2.2) Quest : Determin whether Chad is skimming money from the caravan runs. After I did that quest, and Markus put him in jail (i think he did :) ) i got caravan run to NCR (11th of each month). Who was caravan leader? Yes - Chad. Everything was okay, but after I reach NCR this guy doesn't want to talk with me and pay. Save : http://www.4shared.com/rar/RNUJzPwE/Broken_Hills__Chad_-_bugged_qu.html(Where did you get the caravan from? Redding? Broken Hills? You shouldn't have been able to from Broken Hills. -killap) Yeah, it's bugged. If You arrange with Bill to go on a caravan run and You actually pick the destination BEFORE You rat out Chad to Marcus, You can still go with the caravan that You chose before (But You can't change anything or even ask for a job again. After this run Bill doesn't offer You work anymore). I went to NCR with caravan and Chad has only prison "Leave me alone" floating text. Savegame(Game is saved on 11th and Chad is in prison) Edit: If You let Chad skip town the result is the same, only difference is that he pays You after successful run. -Mirak (And fixed in unreleased update. You're finding several ways to do things that are unexpected. Good job. -killap)

• NOT BUG The table closes to Liz contains the entire barter inventory of Liz, and it can be looted without Liz getting angry or aggressive in fact she says nothing when you interact with it. (read the beginning of the page, savegame please)(This has been brought up countless times. There is a steal check on that table, so if you steal skill is good enough, you'll bypass it. Sneaking at the same time would also help with this. So yeah, no issue here. -killap)

• CONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Maybe there's some reason for this and it probably isn't only place where it happens, but when I barter with Doc Holliday he sells items for lower prices if I ask him to barter as oppose to when I just hit the barter button. Edit: Same thing with outfitter Bill.  Savegame-Mirak (Yeah, the issue is that modifiers are applied to bartering in the script (based on your karma, how you interacted with the person, etc) which are not applied when you press the barter button. This is a vanilla issue that can't be solved, sadly. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When I try to bust Manson and Franc out of jail, I talk to mutie with cell key and persuade to him give the key to me. Then I saved the game and when I load the game again, both guys teleported from prison to Jacob's house without me doing anything. I tried that couple times with same result. (It doesn't happen when I steal the key) Savegame-Mirak (A vanilla bug. Good find. Fixed in unreleased update. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Same quest. When I wanted to reveal Jacob's plans about blowing up the purifier to Marcus, I can still tell Marcus, that Jacob and Aileen are planning to bust Franc and Manson out of jail even though they are not in jail anymore. I don't think that should be possible, because the dialogue insinuates that they are still in prison. Savegame-Mirak(While I see what you mean, this is actually a way to double a double cross. Not a bug. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED Two NPC responses to stupid character in Broken Hills defaulted to "evil" on first visit despite positive karma (only "bad" thing I had was gravedigger). Mainly Liz and Francis would call my character scum and dialog would end, rather than the usual "stupid dialog" for them. Everyone else in BH had the usual "stupid" dialog. After I chewed some mentats, they would talk to me like normal. Possible wrong pointer for stat check in those scripts? Windows 7 64bit, Fallout 2 original CD, US, Humongous install, F2RP 2.2 auto installer. (I don't see any apparent bug in their scripts. For some reason Francis will call anyone scum if the town rep is too low, but I don't see anything in his in regards to player intelligence. Do you have a save game? -killap) Seems like it was town-response taking precedence over "stupid" response. I have this habit of always shovelling the brahmin crap first thing I reach BH because the rep loss is usually easy to recover from on a normal character. Went back later after doing the few things you can as stupid (tests & treasure quest) with my rep as acceptable and they had normal "stupid" dialog.

Den

• NOT BUG Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1; Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, RP version 2.2 Quest: Help Lara fight Tyler's gang At this point (first time coming to the Den), I have done pretty much all of the Den quests that are available except for finding out how Becky can sell her drinks for less... anyway, in this save (SLOT15 - just before speaking to Lara to initiate the fight at the church), my Pip Boy still shows the quest "Find car part for Smitty". At some point during the ensuing fight at the church, this quest disappears from the Pip Boy... as you can see after the fight Edit: Never mind. "Find car part for Smitty" is on 'page 2' of the Status... I have to click on the little down arrow in order to see it. My bad. (Good thing you put it here anyway, might help others in the same situation. -Darek

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Not sure if it's a bug or intentional, but player can loot drugdealer's inventory in residental area. I decided to mention it, because he actually restocks his "shop" and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a shop or just a personal inventory. -Mirak (You should get caught stealing from them though, right? Assuming you don't have extremely high steal/sneak. But yeah, not a bug, their inventory is their shop. -killap) Actually no, I stole from him early in my playthrough and I had a Steal skill 60 (tagged). Found earlier savegame and tried it again. I just stole from him 5 things in a row on a first attempt with Steal 60. Savegame-Mirak

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Again, not sure, but after You set up the orphanage and talk to Flick, he's pissed off. If You accuse him that kids were stealing, You have option to tell him: "You're full of it... ...Time to die!" but nothing happens and combat doesn't start (like it usually does after these kinds of responses). If You talk to him again, whole thread about orphanage starts anew. Savegame-Mirak (Yup, this is a bug. Wow, not sure how this passed years of RP testing. Heh. Anyway, fixed. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows XP, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Humongous installation) I believe this is a Vanilla issue, if it is indeed an issue.  If I go to the Slaver's Guild for the first time and I convince Metzger to let me see Vic, the conversation with the guard to let me into Vic's cell goes like this: I say "About Vic..." and "The door's locked.  Could you open it?"  The guard apologizes ("Of course.  I didn't know you wanted to talk to him right now, sorry.  I just thought you were curious or something.")  I think this reflects the assumption that I've tried to open the door previously (why apologize otherwise if I haven't got the cold shoulder or a warning?).  Since I already know I'll get a floating warning of "Hey! Hands off!" I tend to skip trying to open the door in my games, which I know will lead nowhere (except maybe to a fight).  Not sure if this warrants a dialog change, but thought I'd bring it up.  Savegame - Merenbach (Eh, yeah I see what you mean. You could also stretch it to he was apologizing because he had thought (though he never verbally said it) that you were just being nosy. Heh, yeah, this is too minor nitpicking for me to consider. Sorry, I can't start going to this level of "bug fixing". Thanks for the detailed post though, with a save game and everything. -killap)

EPA

• Cannot reach the entry area of EPA to get back to the world map, because it doesn't want to let me scroll down to it. You need to have the resolution patch installed, which is default with the RP installer. You can still play at 640x480 though. :-)
• FIXED Agility increasing syringe is NOT removed after usage. 10 Agility is attainable for any character. (Interesting, this has come up before I always thought it was a regression that kept happening. However, while this might have been the case in the past, it looks like sometimes the game doesn't remove an item from the player's inventory. This seems to be related to the fade in/out that occurs. Odd that this doesn't always happen, but in any event, I've addressed this. - killap)
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Force fields on green level can be shot through, I assume it shouldn't be the case ? Savegame- Xellos
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Red carpet on the surface level gives description " (none) " when hovered upon SavegameScreenshot-Xellos

Gecko

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Zomac in access tunnels has a stealable leather armor. Image: http://postimg.org/image/whzdnkc1x/ (He was carrying this in the vanilla game. Ghouls can't wear armor, so while I'm not sure why he's carrying it, I'm not going to remove it since it was like this from the very beginning and really isn't a bug anyway. -killap)

• FIXED When using Gamma Gulp on Lenny (the new skin), he says "Error" in green text once, and no effect from the drink occurs. Sadly overwrote that savefile, but it should be repeatable (only tried once so far).

Klamath

• NOT BUG When confronting the Duntons, Sajag is still on the Duntons side if you pick a fight.  Not sure if this was on purpose or not. (The Duntons are now on "TEAM_KLAMATH_CROOKS", which is everyone in the Golden Gecko (except Sullivan). The rest of the town will no longer go hostile except for the GG is what killap meant to say. - Darek) (What Darek said. -killap)
• FIXED When You get a "Hand wipe" in Bathhouse, You lose Your virgin karma title, but it's probably just a handjob so it doesn't really make sense. (read the beginning of the page, details and savegame please) Why? I suppose this is common for all versions, it's not really a bug, it's just a technicality. Handjob shouldn't pop Your cherry, yet it does in RP. (This has been brought up time and again and I'm going to change it just to stop these reports. The original devs explicitly set the sex status variable to increase in this case. Is a 'hand wipe' done by others different than done by yourself, sure. Does it constitute sex, no, not by the definition of it. Well, actually, that last part is open for debate, but by the strict definition of the word, I believe the answer is no. But since the 'Virgin' title was removed from the game, perhaps this was overlooked and the devs may have been correct in considering this situation sex. However, it should not be considered a situation where you can 'pop your cherry'. - killap)

Modoc

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, GOG version, RP version 2.2) If you close the door to Miria's room, and then you try to have sex with her without the required Charisma (which normally makes Grisham run into the room and attack you), the game gets stuck in cutscene mode (and therefore refuses to respond to any input) because he's too stupid to open the door. Out of two times reproducing the bug, one time he just continued standing where he was and one time he ran into Davin's room but still stalled the game. (Save: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/79607449/SLOT10.zip) (Took me a few tries with this save game, but I finally got him to not enter the room, thus leaving the game with all the controls locked. That's really strange. I'll look into this. - killap) (Okay, I added fail safes/improved how this works, so this should hopefully never happen again. Strange how the pathing in this game seems to randomly break. Anyway, all good now. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When I try to seduce Davin as a long haired dude, he adresses me as a "beautiful woman" (Grisham and Miria have the proper dialogues). I have to say that I'm mightily offended! :) Savegame (Heh, while that line is funnier playing a male with long hair, there is no bug here. This is the dialogue option that the original devs chose for male chars with Davin. There is a different line for females. No issue here. - killap)

Navarro

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Flying to Navarro by vertibird from secret transaction area still gives you welcome line about gas station, which is little confusing. Screenshot-Mirak (At first I wasn't sure what that screenshot was supposed to be telling me but ah, that's a good one. Yeah, that's the line you get for entering Navarro in general, since it's all one map. Alright, I'll tweak this so you can get a different entrance line when coming via the vertibird. Got a save game too? -killap) Yeah, sorry should have pointed cursor over that line, anyway here's the Savegame-Mirak

New Reno

• FIXED Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, GOG version, RP version 2.2 Whenever you fight in the jungle arena, if you save during the fight and then load, your character will disappear and you will get an error message, you can fix it by opening the inventory during that bug.  http://www.4shared.com/rar/VpPiCPmF/SLOT05.html (Same issue also exists in San Fran. Problem fixed. -killap)

• CONFIRMED Win 7 64bit, US F2 Humongous, RP 2.2 Auto : Big shelves in boss Salvatore's room still produce "you cannot pick it up ..." message when clicking on their right part SaveScreenshot1Screenshot2- Xellos, just found the same happens with shelves in the commander office in navarro too (Yeah, this is an old vanilla issue. I thought Pixote came up with some graphic hack though. Either way, the Salvatore one can be addressed, but the Navarro one is too difficult without a different scenery piece there. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Some of Rico's floating texts lack punctuation, not sure if it's on purpose. Screenshot-Mirak (Eh, who knows exactly what the original devs wanted. Since some had it, I went ahead and added periods to all of them. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) In one of Monte's "tips" there seems to be an extra space between "but" and "you" Screenshot-Mirak (Vanilla bug. Yup, extra space. Heh, I'm just fixing this as soon as you post them. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) More sex stuff. Similar to Klamath handwipe. In Cat's Paw You can lose Your virginity with oral attention and more sadly, by talking to prostitute. -Mirak (Heh, you just aren't agreeing with the original devs are you. Come on, weren't told about the repercussions of 'holding hands'? ;) Anyway, fixed like I did with Klamath. The way these scripts were setup, it's clearly an oversight, especially in the case of just talking. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Incomplete description for Cat's paw magazine issue #5 Screenshot-Mirak (Yeah, another user brought this to my attention. There were a few other item text lines that somehow got mangled in this release. Anyway, all fixed. -killap)

• CONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) I'm not sure if anything can be done about this, but You can buy Monte's cards via barter and then he still whines about losing the cards. Cards should be stealable, but not tradeable. (But of course, if you steal them and then sell them to him... Vicious circle...) -Mirak (Yeah, there isn't a good way to solve this. Ideally, you couldn't ever buy/sell that item to him, but that's not possible with the engine. Oh well. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Pit Boss from Desperado got probably tired of his job and started running away all the way to exit grid and then he just disappeared. Not sure why, no fight broke out or anything. I tried to leave the area, sleep a little, then come back, but he didn't return. I got savegame only after his disappearance. (I've noticed it too late) Screenshot-Mirak (Very strange. No idea. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED I know it probably doesn't belong here and I apologize in advance, but why is so extremely difficult to steal anything from pimps, drug dealers and hookers in New Reno? I mean I have Steal 100 and I can't steal almost anything even though I can regularly steal anything I want from anybody. Just not here. (I stole from that dealer from Den with no problem at all). I don't think that it was so hard in vanilla, was it introduced in RP? Thanks. -Mirak (I haven't changed a thing here. Perhaps random number generators are against you. -killap) Or maybe I just don't remember it correctly and it was always like this, but it's almost unreal.

• CONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Most of Bishop's men in Shark club don't have their weapons equipped. Edit: Strangely, guards relaxing on the second floor are all battle ready (Apart from baldie near the stairs, he had his combat shotgun equipped, but when I looked at him and then checked his inventory via Steal, he had that shotgun in his inventory. Screenshot Weird.  -Mirak (By default all these guards have their weapons equipped. For some reason everyone is unequipping in your game, as seen in the other reports you made below. No idea what is going on here. This never happened to me on my playthroughs. -killap)(You remember wrong killap, I have confirmed with vanilla. On the first floor, of all the guards I checked in the mapper, none of them had them equipped. On the second floor they do, but unequips their second item slot because of a bug that is tied in with the barter bug I have mentioned previously. The guards by the stairs used to have their weapons in item slot 1 but that was changed for the RP. -Darek)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When I talk to pit boss in Shark club and ask about McGee, he starts talking about me winning McGee's fortune even though I haven't touched that slot machine yet. Savegame-Mirak (Huh, very stupid bug. Not sure how this slipped through. Anyway, fixed. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) McKneely's floating texts lack periods. All of them, so maybe it's intentional. Screenshot-Mirak (Huh, not sure, but I went ahead and added periods to all them. They are all complete sentences anyway. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Guard on second floor at Shark club in a southern room had this in his inventory Screenshot-Mirak (Yeah, he had that equipped. Like I said above, all these guards are unequippping in your game for some unknown reason. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When You talk to Bill at Salvatore's bar you can ask him if he ever killed anybody and then tell him "Not before I beat the living crap out of you." I think that combat should start, but it doesn't and you can talk to him again like nothing happened. Savegame-Mirak (Nothing is wrong with his script. The actual problem is that he's partly inside the bar counter and thus can't see you or move to attack. I had to reposition him a bit. Fixed. -killap)

• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) I don't remember if it was in vanilla, but You can now steal both gun and leather jacket mk2 from Eldridge after You talk to him (or maybe barter with him). Gun that appears in inventory after talking to npc is fairly common, but armour is not, so I decided to mention it. Screenshot-Mirak (Eldridge is wearing a real armor unlike most other critters (vanilla), but due to a problem with how the game handles equipped items, they end up where they shouldn't be. I wrote about it here.-Darek) (What Darek said. Also perhaps related to the other equipping problems you had above. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Find your stolen car quest. Talk to Cody, make sure he blames Jules. Go talk to Jules, threaten him not to harm Cody and let him take you to your car. Buy your car back, BUT go back on foot. Talk to Cody again (kick Marcus and Lenny from group). He can still take you to chop shop and you still get the 500 exp even though you already know where your car is and you own your car again. Uff. Savegame (Not to mention that getting exp only when Cody takes you there doesn't make much sense, player should get same exp if Jules takes him there or even if player finds it on his own. But you probably considered this before) -Mirak (If you look, the dialogue changes slightly depending upon whether you had already gone to the chop shop. You initially ask to go to where you car "is" or later it changes to "was". So no bug there. As for the XP, well, the code explicitly says the xp is for Cody taking you to the Chop Shop. So, it was the intent for the player to get this for that, but should it be for only if you've never been there? Maybe. And I guess Jules doesn't get any XP for this because it's more unlikely for the player to question a kid rather than the dude standing next to the car area. So yeah, I'm not going to change anything here. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Beneath the train station three out of four Wright's sons/daughters don't have their weapons equipped (Edit: Well most of the Wrights in and around Wright's mansion have their weapons in inventory, so maybe it's ok). If player starts killing slaves here, Wrights let you and don't seem to care. They also don't care about player stealing all the booze from crates and tables around the still. Doesn't make sense, there should be "Stay away from there" line. Savegame-Mirak (The Wrights intentionally do not have their weapons showing. No bug there. As for them not caring about your looting, well, it was never implemented by the original devs or me. If I start here then what prevents me from having EVERYONE in the game freak out when you loot their stuff. Not worth it. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Wright's children (the new girlie models, both of them have small statuette in their inventory) have probably wrong description. ScreenshotScreenshot 2-Mirak (Yeah, they didn't have scripts for some reason. Fixed. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) An extra space in dialogue with Angela Bishop? (Between "?" and "There")  Screenshot-Mirak (Vanilla issue. Good eye. Fixed. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) ALL the guards at Stables keep SMGs foolishly in their inventories. -Mirak (See my other comments about this odd issue you're having. No idea what is happening. -killap)

• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Deliver suitcase to Bishop quest. Give him the suitcase and ask for payment, his response doesn't make much sense (Yeah, I know that's one of many, many similar instances, but this one is little different, because Bishop's response kinda contradicts what you just said to him) Screenshot-Mirak (Eh, I don't see this as a problem. -killap)
• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation)  Mason and two other Salvatore's goons on second floor leave lootable metal armors on their bodies after player kills them, guards on ground floor do not. (Edit: Same with some of the guards on 2nd floor of Desperado, could it be somehow connected to my "equipping mystery" or were these armors lootable in vanilla?) Savegame-Mirak (No, they have real armors, same as in vanilla. Most critters have a stamped armor, ie they get the stats of an armor without actually wearing one. A few have the real deal. -Darek) Thanks for clearing that up. Last time I played vanilla was maybe five or six years ago so I got some thinks mixed up. -Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) You can still gamble at Nikki's table after you wipe out Salvatores, but I know, it's probably same with other Reno families. -Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Secret transactions quest. Once I got here, three of the Salvatore's guards go immediately towards the exit grid. I think the cause of this is that I have watched that transaction earlier with Wright's kids and game acts as though the transaction's already over. I faintly remember that I've noticed this in vanilla a long time ago too, ahh good times. Savegame-Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Lloyd quest. Go with Lloyd to Golgotha, let him dig and send him down the manhole. Go after him, kill him, save the game, load the game and Lloyd's body disappears. Savegame-Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) It's probably nothing, but just to be sure. Once you're Mordino made man, other Mordino's men have several different lines when you talk to them (or just passing by them), but if you have any weapon equipped, they say only one line all the time "Nice piece you got there". -Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Some suspect line about crippled limbs during boxing matches. ScreenshotScreenshot 2-Mirak

New California Republic

• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) English is not my mother tongue, so pardon me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be "into that" instead of "in to that"? Screenshot-Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Trouble with equipping just got more serious. I've noticed it affects party members too. When I look at Cassidy's model he wields HK CAWS (rifle model), when I talk to him and look at combat control it shows, that he isn't wielding any gun, yet I can tell him to holster the gun, then the HK CAWS appears in inventory. BUT when I give him Pancor Jackhammer to his inventory via steal and then click on "use best weapon" (while he's still wielding that HK CAWS which doesn't show in combat control) in combat control, he equips PJ and HK CAWS simply disappears. I've also noticed that party members are reequipping weapons almost every time when combat starts. I wonder what could've triggered this. Edit: Ah well, so it seems that HK just isn't stealable after Cassidy equips PJ, but shows via trade screen. Still weird. Savegame-Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Iguana on a stick stand. You can steal brown-pinkish variant of iguana from Bob's inventory, yet you can't steal the green variant. You can buy both though. I think it should be unified so either both or none could be stealable. -Mirak
• NOT BUG (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Vortis' slavers have this description ScreenshotCan't honestly tell if's something's wrong with that. -Mirak (That message had me scratching my head too, but I looked it up and it's meant to be that way. Probably just a humorous way of saying it's a big dumb guard. -Darek)
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Don't sure if intentional or not. Dr. Jubilee complains about missing heart pills, even if you don't steal them. (however, you have to steal something else from his shelf). Stealing the pills and then immediately returning them back also triggers this. Savegame-Mirak
• (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Missing period in dialogue with hubogolist. Screenshot-Mirak

Redding

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) There is a little girl in Madame Madjeska's house with strange description. (Probably template for orphans from Den) Screenshot-Mirak (Crap, not sure how that slipped through. Anyway, fixed in unreleased update. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Maybe just an engine issue, but when I use Lockpick on a door in Wanamingo mine entrance I get instant crash. Savegame-Mirak (Can't reproduce the crash after several tries. Is the crash consistent for you? -killap) Yeah, three times in a row. -Mirak (Not sure what to tell you. I can't reproduce this. It's only that one door that your standing next to in your save game, right? -killap) Right. Edit: Now I loaded earlier save before entering Redding, tried it again and now it doesn't crash anymore. Weird. -Mirak

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) I've noticed a strange thing. When Morton takes over Wanamingo mine entrance, his cronies plant mines. When I successfully disable mine and then examine it, description says "Triggered stone plate", but when I actually trigger the mine, then the description says "Disabled stone plate". I think it should be other way around. Now I know, that when one of the Morton's cronies spot the mine, it's automatically disabled, but this is not the case. Savegame(In the savegame Charname stands near one of the mines, so You can try to disable it and/or run over it) -Mirak (Vanilla bug. Good find. There was also a mine script at the Sierra Army Depot with the same problem -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When I fight Morton's gang, one their combat taunts mentions Bishop. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think there's any connection between Bishop a Morton brothers. Screenshot-Mirak (Vanilla bug. Good find. The issue stems from these scripts sharing so much with each other. I had addressed one part of it, but it looks like this one slipped through. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) I assume that Lou was supposed to say a line about not giving Fannie more money? Screenshot-Mirak (Yeah, the miner cutting line take precedence over it. There is a more generic Fannie money/antidote line that can be used in this place, so I switched it. Fixed. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) "You deliver the Jet antidote to Dr. John." Is John his real name and Johnson's just a nickname? Geez, I'm starting to see bugs everywhere. Screenshot-Mirak (Heh, who knows. Everywhere else in the file it says "Doc Johnson", so I changed the line you mentioned to be consistent with the rest. Your bug reports are getting quite picky now. ;) I like the thoroughness though! -killap)

San Francisco

• UNCONFIRMED Win7 64bit, F2US humongous, Rp2.2 Auto: When fighting at the ring sometimes a position occurs when your opponent can punch you, but you can't punch/target him (yellow outline) Screenshot- Xellos (Sounds like an engine issue with scenery objects and blockers. Save game would be cool, but this sounds like it can't be fixed. -killap) I'll try to reproduce and provide save then. Edit: Here you go savegame

•  FIXED Win7 64bit, F2US humongous, Rp2.2 Auto: When replaying "what happened to Matt" sequence in BOS, 2 lockers in the sleeping room are missing. Also, Horrigan's floats are a little inconsistent changing color from yellow to green and again multiple times. the same with guards, one speaks in green, other in yellow, maybe it's intentional though .. Savegame - Xellos (Fixed the map issue. The sequence happens on a duplicate copy of the map, which ended up not being a true duplicate after map changes over the years. As for the floats, I think they're intentional. They are based on the anger level of the person talking. -killap)

Umbra Tribe (Primitive Tribe)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, RP version 2.2 1.Quest with chief warrior and trader (stimpacks). You suppose to help with that trade. In trader options there is one or two grammar mistakes.  (read the beginning of the page, savegame please) (Really could use a screenshot or at least the lines in question. I just read through the entire text file and didn't find anything. -killap) (Both me and Dravean went through it and didn't find anything that stood out. The only issue we saw was that we didn't have an apostrophe when we used the word "em". Minor, but hey, every little thing counts. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED Tech info: Windows 7 x64, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, RP version 2.2 I entered Slaver Camp, killed all the bad guys, freed the slaves in the outside pen, and proceeded to the pen inside the shack to find Kurisu. After Suliks and Kurisus reunion there is a dialog option where you are supposed to attack somebody outside, even thou there are no bad guys alive anymore. Once you choose the "attack" dialog option the current dialog ends, and you are back at the normal game, but if you try to talk to Kurisu again the only dialog option is "no is not safe yet" and the dialog ends. If you try to open the slave pen door the dialog interface comes up again and same problem only option is "no is not safe yet". You must choose the "sneaking away" dialog option from the beginning in order the to avoid this bug.  Download Savegame (Did you get a insta kill on any of the slavers? I'm seeing all the bodies in your save game, so it looks like you got them all. For some reason it's still claiming one is still alive though, which like I said is impossible since all their bodies are there. There is an engine bug where if you get a critical hit that causes a one hit kill, it breaks any code that runs upon death. This might be what happened here. -killap) Sorry but I can't remember if there was any one shot kills, thou I was pretty good with a hunting rifle at that point in the game(Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes yaargh).

Vault City

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) When Skeev reveals to player that he forges citizenship papers and then player talks to him again, sometimes there is an option to blackmail him with "showing the false papers to Wallace" (even if player doesn't have the papers) and other times player can blackmail him simply with 'I'm gonna tell on You" (without the evidence). Second option should appear all the times if player doesn't possess evidence. Difference is that player loses 3 karma points with first option and no karma points with second option. Savegame(The only issue I saw in the script is that you can potentially get a dialogue line about showing the papers if you don't actually have them yet. This is a vanilla issue, which I just now fixed. Other than that, it looks like the "I'm gonna tell on you" line is always there. Please provide a more detailed report if this isn't the case. From my testing with your save game, I can always get that line. - killap) No, the problem was exactly like You described it. I just failed to mention that "I'm gonna tell on You" line was always there like You said. Either way, shouldn't player lose karma even if he blackmails Skeev without evidence? - Mirak (In one option you outright ask for a bribe, while the other option is a bit more vague and must pass a speech check to get the option of bribing him. So the first is an outright threat (lose karma, no speech check) while the other involves a speech check, no karma loss. I don't see any issue here. If what I said in the first comment was the only bug, then this issue is now closed. - killap)

Encounter Bugs

• UNCONFIRMED When encountering giant molerats (also happens with the combination of giant radscorpion/giant molerats) with Vic in your party the game freezes during combat.  This seems to happen when it is Vic's turn.  I have reproduced this twice. - stabnslice  (read the beginning of the page, details and savegame please)

• FIXED In the "A man guarding a bridge" encounter one of the questions player can get is "Which NPC survived Fallout 1 and makes appearance in Fallout 2?". One of the possible answers is Ian (which was obviously wrong in vanilla Fallout 2), but this answer is still deemed wrong in RP by the bridgekeeper. So Tandi and Ian should both be correct answers now. (Oh good catch here. Hmm, yeah this might open some discussion about should Ian really be there, but you're right that Ian should now be a correct answer for the bridge keep in the context of the RP. - killap)

• FIXED Not really a bug, just a suggestion. After I mess with the Enclave guy on Gecko power plant computer and then convince the landing party that I'm not the guy they're after, I can steal three pancor jackhammers and gauss pistol from them. I think it would be better if they have their weapons already equipped and player couldn't steal them. In my opinion, it kinda disrupts balance at this point (if player follows suggested story thread with water flask that is). (Actually, it is a bug. The soldier were supposed to equip their weapon but were not due to a scripting bug. -killap)

• UNCONFIRMED I encountered the Cafe of Broken Dreams around NCR, recruited Dogmeat, got the armor for him. Later when I encountered King Arthur's Knights, the old "Cafe popping bug" occurred and the location of it moved to unexplored portion of the world map. The Vorpal Rat encounter still worked fine later on. Windows 7 64bit, Fallout 2 original CD, US, Humongous install, F2RP 2.2 auto installer. http://i40.tinypic.com/2j4dd6x.png (Sounds like an engine bug, but a save game would be useful -killap)

• CONFIRMED Windows 7 64bit, Fallout 2 original CD, US, Humongous install, F2RP 2.2 auto installer. I got wild brahmin encounter near Klamath, outdoorsmen asked me if I want to enter and I rejected it. Still "unknown" green circle remained on the map, few levels later I got it again , it teleported from Klamath making new circle (somewhere between Redding and San Francisco). I guess that unless you enter it, the game still thinks it haven't appeared and can pop again - Xellos,  slot10 with the old location just west of Den and slot01 with new, 3 squares north of EPA Savegames (Yeah, that's how the engine behaves. It will keep moving the location until you actually enter it. Nothing I can do. -killap)

Misc. bugs

• It's possible that when you or a companion enters a map you may be on the same space as an NPC. You won't be stuck though, so no worries. Engine issue.

• NPCs are able to walk through locked doors. This is most often seen during combat. Engine issue.

• Some companions, such as Vic, become unresponsive and act like walking containers. This is caused by the companion getting knocked out in combat and you leave the map during this. You need to go into combat mode again to let them 'wake up'. Engine issue.

• If you have low unarmed skill and then miss on a standing fire gecko, the hit-n-miss animation won't play. Engine issue.

• The floating text is rolling very furiously when some of your opponents lie unconscious in combat. Engine issue.

• For the Educated Perk: It applies for the current level, *IF* you take it at the first time since leveling up at the character creation screen. If you click the character creation screen, cancel out of the perks list, close and reopen the character creation screen, and then select the Educated Perk, it DOES NOT apply to the current level. (Note: This bug goes back all the way to Fallout 1.) Engine issue.

• Clicking your weapon at the exact moment that someone else initiates combat causes the button to remain "pressed in" graphically, and it doesn't release until you try to initiate combat again that way. Engine issue.

• In the Pip boy, if you click status, click a city, then click somewhere else on the Pipboy screen, it'll load up another city's quest status. Engine issue.

• If you give a critter tons of super stims in hopes of killing it, and then leave the map, the game will crash when it tries to kill the critter. Engine issue.

• NPCs hooked on jet becomes utterly useless - stuck with 1 AP. Jet antidote doesn't work on them. Engine issue.

• Ability to gain too high stats from drug use - use drug twice, save and load and you can use drugs to raise your stats even more. Engine issue.

• Drugs used on one critter will affect all critters of that same type (i.e. look the same). Engine issue.

• NPC's leveling up while under drug influence don't end up with correct stats - it checks the current stats and not base stats. Engine issue.

• A game saved in combat where one of your NPC's has died will become corrupted. Engine issue.

• Saving in combat is generally just a bad idea and will cause many unexpected problems. Engine issue.

• Sometimes if you do an insta-kill to a critter (super critical hit, etc), code in their death procedure is not run and things regarding that character might be broken from that point on (e.g. no one recognizes the critter as dead). Engine issue

• NOT BUG Hydrant description doesn't make any sense in Fallout 2: "This is a fire hydrant. Without Vault ceiling sprinklers, you might need one of these to put out fires." Rather weird remark from someone who never even been in any vault. (While yes the player in F2 may not have been in a vault yet, he/she still knows that vaults exist and have fancy things. So while the description certainly was geared towards F1, I don't consider it out of place for F2. -killap)

• Mouse is sticky/laggy for some users. Reported by multiple users with Logitech G500 and G5 mice in Windows 7 x64 with F2RP v2.2. Enabling BackgroundMouse in ddraw.ini does not address the problem, but one report suggests that setting SCALE_BUTTONS_AND_TEXT_MENU=1 in f2_res.ini or reducing the game resolution might fix it. This fix has not yet been confirmed by other users experiencing the problem. Another user found that it fixed itself once another mouse was installed and the resolution was changed. After that, the problematic mouse worked fine.

• FIXED Vic's dialog after you've recruited him as a stupid character still includes "I need to ask you something" but it's just closes dialog. Kind of pointless lol. Dead link in the script? Windows 7 64bit, Fallout 2 original CD, US, Humongous install, F2RP 2.2 auto installer. http://i42.tinypic.com/2jcidy.png (Vanilla bug. Fixed. You didn't recruit him as a dumb character though, right? -killap) I did actually recruit him as a dumb character, following Per Jorner's Walkthrough. After Metzger is defeated, you can talk to him, say "Candy" and he gives you Vault City, then say "Vic me bess frien" and he joins you (if you have enough CH).

• CONFIRMED Magic 8-ball is "Use on" rather than "use". Didn't it use to be use, so shaking it would be much easier? Windows 7 64bit, Fallout 2 original CD, US, Humongous install, F2RP 2.2 auto installer. (Yeah, this is because of a change to work around the 'too many items' bug. I might reconsider adding a script back to this one item though. -killap) [[Not the original poster, but just butting in to add a vote for this.  It's a lot less frustrating to use the 8-ball, for flavor or for hints, when I can just click it!  I look forward to procuring it each time I approach New Reno for the first time.  Maybe I need to get out more. - Merenbach ]]

• CONFIRMED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) I'm not sure what the problem is, but automaps for Arroyo in pipboy are somehow bugged for me. There appears to be redundant entries for some desert areas. Right now there's just one, but earlier, there were up to three (i forgot about it and next time I checked automaps, two of the entries were gone) and some of them caused instant crash (by clicking on them). Screenshot(If You need a savegame, You can probably reproduce from any of the savegames I provided for other bugs) - Mirak (Interesting. I'll have Mash/Timeslip look into this one. -killap)

• FIXED (Tech info: Windows 7, Fallout 2 version 1.02.28, US English, FRP version 2.2, Windows, humongous installation) Red and green condoms have incomplete descriptions. -Mirak (Yeah, more item entries that somehow got mangled. Fixed. -killap)
• Switch sounds for Bozar/M60? Bozar still has "minigun" sound, M60 has "blam" sound. Reposted from talk page.

Caravan bugs

• Sometimes when you finish a caravan encounter and leave, you jump back into the same encounter with everything as it was (corpses still on the ground, etc). This is caused by saving your game while on the caravan map (it's fine loading one though). Engine issue.

Kaga Encounter

• Win7 64bit, F2US humongous, Rp2.2 Auto:Third Kaga encounter. Got red circled lightning on the world map as usual but loaded on empty map -  Save.After leaving the map they attacked again seconds later, this time spawning normally so it's probably positioning issue on particular map in the savegame - Xellos (Strange. Digging into your save game with the Mapper, I don't see Kaga anywhere on that map (even outside the visible area). I continue to see reports about empty encounters but I have no idea why. It seems likely that these empty encounters are indeed related to Kaga, but who knows. -killap) It must have been Kaga as far as I know as the description in the lower left window "you encounter ...." was the same as in the proper third Kaga encounter I got seconds later.
