Fallout Fallout: Sonora - new Fallout mod from the Fallout: Nevada team

[deama]

Seems to be working fine so far, here's the link to the .dat files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hk_DVTUQr-X6VRUhPl0b5Uod3CbiNES2/view?usp=sharing

the master.dat should be located in the root directory in fallout, so just replace that with the above.
The other .dat files should be located in mods folder
The ddraw.ini goes into the root directory same as master.dat.

This is using the version from rutracker, along with sfall and the dlc dayglow, version 1.11.

EDIT: Updated with some fixes to UI stuff and premade BIOs thanks to AdolfSatan.

 

[AdolfSatan]

Ok, so there was some missing brackets here and there, I found them all and it's working fine now.
I'll play around with it for a bit and see how it flows, then release it.

AdolfSatan , do you know if you can change the language in the character selector? The biography of the individual users?

/art/intrface/STEALTH.frm, COMBAT.frm, and TRADE.frm I think
then
/premade/ all the files

Irgsarzh already went thru the pain of translating those (static images), so grab them from our .dat to save yourself the hassle

That works for the buttons, but what about the biography of the characters? Like their history, that's in russian for me and don't think I missed anything in the text directory?
I copied over the stuff from art folder, but that just fixed the buttons.

 

[AdolfSatan]

I’m sorry, I was misremembering and gave you fuzzy directions. You need to go to /premade/ and get the .BIO files, those are the biographies. They can be edited with any text editor just like the .MSG

Gonna do a new playthrough, I just beat it yesterday, using the machine (Google) translation I found during a Yandex search, for the base sonora. Thank you deama, I'll play using this translation.

I'm starting to get a decent amount of "cannot divide by 0 integer" errors during combat, is that normal?
I thought tim said he fixed it in his video over 20 years ago.

 

[deama]

AdolfSatan Looks like there's a problem with one of the art files. When I completed repairing the radio station quest for the rangers, they give me a radio and ask me to investigate some echo thing. When I put the radio in my inventory, it crashes the game to desktop.
I narrowed it down to the interface folder in the art directory in master.dat.

I'll see if I can further narrow it down.

EDIT: Looks like it's the "TX_USET.FRM" file.

 

[AdolfSatan]

MOTHER FUCKER, YOU SOLVED IT!
Dunno how you even got there, but it seems there was a fake equivalence in file names between the Russian Sonora and the files inside OG FO2 that I used to replace the Russian UI, and that’s what broke it.
Gonna update master.dat in my dropbox right now, I advise everyone to update their versions to fix that bug.

In case you (deama, the rest go get the dat unless you want to open and edit stuff by hand) don’t want to download the entire dat just for that one FRM, you can get it here:

Never had that issue, perhaps you got something broken in the /game/ folder?

 

[deama]

Maybe it's my general computer setup, cause usually if it's a problem with the text, it gives a different error.

EDIT: Just tested it with your master.dat file, still gives me the same error, I don't think it's linked to the translation stuff.
Are you on windows 10?

 

[deama]

Ok, I fixed it, for myself at least.
I did it with cheat engine, basically there's 2 bits in the game code .exe that use "idiv" instruction, basically it's "divide", and for some reason there's no safe guard for if there's a 0, so I just put one there, here's what I got:

[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat
alloc(newmem,2048)
label(returnhere)
label(originalcode)
label(exit)

newmem: //this is allocated memory, you have read,write,execute access
cmp dword ptr [DDRAW.DLL+127344], 0
jne originalcode // If not zero, jump to original code

mov dword ptr [DDRAW.DLL+127344], 1

originalcode:
idiv [DDRAW.DLL+127344]

exit:
jmp returnhere

"DDRAW.DLL"+7F270:
jmp newmem
nop
returnhere:


 
 
[DISABLE]
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat
dealloc(newmem)
"DDRAW.DLL"+7F270:
db F7 3D 44 73 12 10
//idiv [DDRAW.DLL+127344]

that's the first one, second one is this:

[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat
alloc(newmem,2048)
label(returnhere)
label(originalcode)
label(exit)

newmem: //this is allocated memory, you have read,write,execute access
cmp dword ptr [DDRAW.DLL+12734C], 0
jne originalcode // If not zero, jump to original code

mov dword ptr [DDRAW.DLL+12734C], 1

originalcode:
idiv [DDRAW.DLL+12734C]

exit:
jmp returnhere

"DDRAW.DLL"+7F2D1:
jmp newmem
nop
returnhere:


 
 
[DISABLE]
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat
dealloc(newmem)
"DDRAW.DLL"+7F2D1:
db F7 3D 4C 73 12 10
//idiv [DDRAW.DLL+12734C]

I donno if you'll be able to plug and use them, even if using same version, since I didn't bother with array of bytes rather just code injection, but you can really easily change it to work for your own.

Anyway, that's for if anyone else is having the issue.

 

[AdolfSatan]

Might be that, then, I’m on Win10 and didn’t come across that issue before.
Have you tried updating the sfall with its corresponding ddraw.dll and .ini?

No, no updates, though maybe that would fix it considering the address points to it being from ddraw.
I just downloaded from the torrent, is all.

 

[AdolfSatan]

Just pushed an update that fixes a broken NPC at the Tinsmith’s. I recommend everyone to update their game.

 

[The Jester]

So far I find these deama
It seems that the bartender's dialogue is mixed with the player's?

Karma messages aren't translated.

I wasn't able to find the karma messages, not in the /text bit at least.

Let me see about the bartender one.

 

[deama]

Do you know where the karma messages are AdolfSatan ?

 

[Baron Dupek]

7. The random encounter rate on the world map is crazy. I don't remember it being as bad in any Fallout game (and I played all the other major total conversions).

evem worse than FoTactics? How damn, that sounds awful... at least rest if good enough to sorta counterweight this problem.

 

[likash]

Someone bring me up to speed. Do we have an english translation outside that raw google translate version from 2 years ago that nobody can find?

the random encounter rate can be changed from one of the ini files. You can look at the nevade ini and takes those values. Nevada had a normal rate of random encounters.

There's now a yandex version with some minor person intervention, and a raw chatgpt 4 one with mexican spice added to it.

The bartender one should be fixed, I updated my edit with a newer version, it should just work by copy-replacing it, shouldn't screw up any saves either.

Looks like a general issue with fallout in general.
Where'd you get your copy from?

 

[Jigby]

in ddraw.ini comment the

TranslationsINI=

line, so that the default engine strings are used.

It's not a standlone version? Don't tell me it needs to be installed in a Fallout 2 dir

it's standalone, but there's different versions floating around, like the one from their official website not being great cause it doesn't come with sfall and the dlc.
