Title: Fonline 2238: Purchase Options
Post by: Grey Wolf on March 13, 2011, 09:55:59 am: Hi there, I'm an rabid Fallout fan, having owned ALL games in the franchise, and i just discovered this wonderful little gem called Fonline 2238. Now, i just have a few questions about the Game, firstly, Which Game(s) should i buy to get me started with the most advanced game resources (I.e graphics etc), F1, 2 or Tactics?, and secondly, if i purchase these games from Steam, would i be able to play Fonline? or should i just buy the disc version from Ebay?

Cheers for the help,
Grey Wolf.

Welcome! :)
You need two files from Fallout 2 in order to play FOnline: 2238, namely Master.dat and Critter.dat. However, I think you will need to buy the disk version instead of the Steam one. There was this thread where someone complained that Steam was not providing the two needed files (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=12856.msg105806#msg105806), so I guess Steam version won't be enough to play FOnline! :P

It's impossible these files weren't there. That guy just didn't look for them how he should have. I've got a steam version of Fallout 2 and the files are there: Steam\steamapps\common\fallout 2
Maybe if they still wouldn't be there, which I don't really understand, he should unpack his NCF file (Steam\steamapps\fallout 2 content.ncf; there are designed applications to unpack these files) and master.dat + critter.dat MUST be inside.

Don't forget the music files, foundable on the very same CD. :)

On another note, i believe i've read that game resources from Tactics can be used, or something to that extent, is this true and should i also grab Tactics while i'm at it?

Cheers,
Grey Wolf.

(Looking forward to joining the Community IG btw, :D.)

Update: I've brought the Fallout: Collections pack, which contains F1, F2, and Tactics, for 2.95, lol!, looking forward to getting IG.
