sfall, a fallout 1 and 2 engine tweak mod by Timeslip (http://timeslip.chorrol.c om) version 1.18e, built for fallout 1 v1.

2 US. This was a quick fallout mod which I originally stuck together to try and fix a few minor annoyances that I had with the games, but which has since turned into a slightly bigger mod which fixes some other peoples annoyances too. The main fe atures 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 beyo nd fallouts normal range * Adjust or remove the 13 year time limit * Fixes the broken pathfinder and sharpshooter perks * Adds some additional script functions for modders to use This mod only works with certain versions of the fallout exe's. For fallout 2, a US copy of 1.02 is required, although tweaked copies such as the version with m egamod 2 also work. For fallout 1, a US copy of 1.2 is required, and you must us e the windows version. (i.e. 'falloutw.exe'). Attempting to use this mod with an incompatible version of fallout will result in an error every time you run it, or if using the DOS version of fallout 1 the mod will simply have no effect. If you're version of fallout doesn't have kids, then you have the UK version instea d of the US version, so you'll need to patch it into the US version before using this mod. Using a d3d9 graphics mode obviously requires you to have dx9 installed and a dx 9 compatible graphics card. sfall requires the DX9.0c August 2006 update. If you set the graphics mode to 5 or 6 but don't have DX9.0c installed, fallout will c rash on startup. If you have a version of DX9.0c older than August 2006, fallout will crash at the main menu. ****************** ** Installation ** ****************** Extract 'ddraw.dll' and 'ddraw.ini' to fallout's base directory. (i.e. the one t hat contains fallout2.exe or falloutw.exe.) ******************** ** Uninstallation ** ******************** Delete ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini from your fallout directory. *********** ** Usage ** *********** This mod is configured via the 'ddraw.ini' file, which can be opened with any te xt editor. Details of every configerable option are included in that file. Where a comment refers to a DX scancode, the complete list of codes can at the link b elow: http://www.gamespp.com/directx/directInputKeyboardScanCodes.html

In a default installation using an unmodified copy of ddraw.ini, the middle mous e button will be set to switch between weapons and the mouse wheel will be set t o scroll through any menus that respond to the up/down arrow keys. Holding ctrl and hitting numpad keys 0 to 6 will adjust the game speed. The script extender a nd the fixes for the sharpshooter and pathfinder perks will also be enabled. ****************** ** Known issues ** ****************** It is not possible to completely remove the fallout 2 13 year time limit, becaus e fallout 2 stores the time passed since the start of the game in a 32 bit varia ble, and on the 8th of March 2255 this variable overflows, causing fallout to cr ash. (Normally, the game will end of 25th of July 2254) This mod doesgive you th e option to remove the time limit, but remember that you only get an extra six a nd a half months of playtime. This mod also offers the alternative of resetting the variable each time you approch the limit, but this may have unexpected side effects. 16 bit colour mode corrupts the colours of movies. *************** ** Changelog ** *************** v1.18e >Added an option to modify the encounter rate >Make use of a higher resolution counter for world map fps counting if one is av ailable >More bugfixes v1.18b >Added an option to make world map encounters independent of world map travel sp eed.
