Sfall is a Fallout 2 engine tweak originally created by Timeslip. The main features are:

  • Increase movement and combat speed to up to 10x normal.
  • Play fallout in a window or in 16 bit colour mode
  • Use d3d9 in place of the usual ddraw
  • Use the mouse scroll wheel in the inventory, barter, conversation and save/load menus.
  • Assign a use to the middle mouse button, and adjust mouse sensitivity beyond fallouts normal range
  • Adjust or remove the 13 year time limit
  • Apply most patches previously existed as EXE patches - using simple INI parameters
  • Allows to customize perks, skills, stats, elevators, criticals and books by simple INI files, which were previously all hard-coded in EXE
  • Fixes the broken pathfinder and sharpshooter perks
  • Fixes several limitations and bugs in script interpreter
  • Adds a lot of additional script functions for modders to use
  • Introduces new scripting concepts - hook scripts and global scripts to change game behavior globally using scripts
  • Extends SSL language (with custom compiler) by introducing several new features

Also, there is a sfall modders pack - a set of tools for sfall scripting:

  • an easy-to-use Script Editor with integrated compiler, parser and decompiler
  • documentation for scripting functions and other new features
  • a set of headers with sfall-related defines

This post describes Script Editor capabilities and scripting language extensions.

Also see the Global Shaders add on (for hardware shaders)

The downloads are specific to a single version of the fallout exe, so make sure you download the right one. The source code for the mod is available, so players can download the source code and build their own versions of it.

Requested features

Sfall and Ubuntu/Linux

If you want to start Fallout 2 with Wine and Sfall under Ubuntu/Linux, it will not work. You have to go to 'winecfg' and set the dll override for "ddraw" to "(native,builtin)". After this, everything should work correctly. If you can not find the ddraw.dll in the drop down menu, you have to add it there manually.

You may also need to set permissions on ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini (and probably the whole directory) to make all the files readable and executable with chmod.

Also be sure to start the game without a space character. This may cause game crashes under wine.
