Fallout 2 Restoration Project Walkthrough
Another RP release packed full of fixes is at hand and we even have some restored content to go with it too! With the imminent arrival of Wasteland 2, hopefully you can get at least one more Fallout 2 round in.Will there be more RP releases? Well, you can only chisel away for so long, but there does seem to be some critter animations (Punk Girl, actual combat leather jacket animations, etc) being worked on and it would be a shame if they didn't find their way into the RP. And of course bug lists make me sad.
But I will say this, if you've been waiting, don't wait anymore. It seems obsession is the only driving force for me to keep working on these continued updates and that's just not as fun as it should be.Now there is the question of source code. Well, the fact that I'm finally releasing it might be a tell-tale sign of a real retirement at hand. But like I said above, at this point I don't think that's truly possible for me. I'd also like to say that by releasing this source code I am in no way handing over the reigns for others to do RP releases. Perhaps that's selfish of me, but I've put too much into this work to let others do what they want.
Of course, anyone is free to make their own mods based on or for the RP; that is more than welcome and that's the point of releasing the source. But if the RP/UP is to be officially updated, that will only happen through me.So without further ado, enjoy!Note: Previous 2.3.x save games should be compatible, but to ensure no problems come up please start anew. There are some areas that will potentially break with old saves unless you enter them for the first time. You've been warned.Bug reports should be added to the Fallout 2 RP bug report wiki.

Fallout 2 Restoration Project
Code:New Content:. Restored bell sounds before each round when boxing in New Reno. This was prevented before by a vanilla bug.
Cult of Personality now also applies to town reputations and not just global reputations. This was accidently omitted when I restored the Cult of Personality perk to the game. 23 scripts were modified for this latest change, mostly in Klamath and Vault City. In total, only 58 out of over 1,000 scripts make use of this perk, which just goes to show that the reaction system was never truly fleshed out in this game. I am trying to get the splash screens to display (GET READY.
Presumably they actually do, it is just so quick that they never actually make it to my monitor screen. I thought that the High Res Patch gave the option for displaying for a fixed number of seconds but that does not appear to be the case. It looks like user provided art (EDIT:.BMP format, but what on Earth is.RIX format? There don't seem to be any examples in my F2 folder) which is stored in the folder dataartsplash (which the user must create) should be displayed, however.I'm sad.
