[Mod -> Article] - More info on Game: Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
jdoe407
has created a new modification for Fallout 2 which
allows you to play the game in a wide variety of resolutions.
His mod also allows you to change the speed of world map travel.
This has been designed for the 1.02d
us executable and I can't guarantee that it will run on anything else.
There are still many bugs with fallout2 when running with a higher
resolution.
The patcher is run in the same directory as
Fallout2.exe. What it does is it takes the original executable, makes a
copy of it and then applies a few patches to it depending on what
information you give to it via the gui.
The slider bar in the "World Map" section
determines how much you want to slow the world map down by. The higher
the bar, the slower it will get. To enable or disable it, just simply
check or uncheck the "Slow Down World Map" check box.
Playable resolutions range from
640x480 all the way to 1600x1200. You can read more about it and check out a higher
resolution screen here.

The development of the resolution/mapspeed hacks can be seen in the
thread here.

Seems interesting.
I'd really like to be able to play PS:T at a higher resolution, like you could with BG2. |

Personally, I'd like to play Fallout 2 in windowed mode. |

PS:T would look OK at a higher resolution, thanks to the characters all being drawn larger than their BG counterparts. I didn't like to play the games in too high a resolution as they started to shrink. I like to see the details and big-ass sprites. |
