Basic question about mapper
« on: January 29, 2015, 11:58:02 pm »
Hi there, I seem to have deleted my mapper key guide, FO2 mapper has a game mode I can press and have a character run around the map ive made, does the mapper have a similar game mode i can activate to do the same?

No, the easiest way to test a map is to replace some of the existing maps in server files, start a server on local and connect to it with client.

I think it was possible to "remote control" a critter and letting it walk to your cursor position with pressing shift(?) key at the same time. It's not the same, but you can test the effects of object offsets this way.

I used this:

dat explorer to browse Fallout 2 dats:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ok01v7uvpfj8wtd/datexpl.zip?dl=0

titanium frm viewer to view extracted frms and convert them to other format:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dwg0s07jxvkt0y4/titanium.rar?dl=0

You don't have to convert graphics back to frm, in FOnline you can use png or fofrm instead (fofrm is text equivalent of frm, open some example in Notepad).
