Fallout2 Items Mode Editer Readme
Version 1.1
1.Buckup files first
backup pro files before u modify it. we don't know every thing in fallout2 engine, so if u
changed sth uncorrect, the game may crack. backup a "correct" file first.
2.Needed files before run
a. dll files.
i use VB to write this program, so 2 dll files are needed to run this program.
they're MSVBVM60.DLL and OLEAUT32.DLL. u can find them in my web page too.if u don't
have these dlls, u have to copy these dll files to windows\system directry. if u already
have, skip this step.
b.pro_item.msg file
when FIME is loading, it will read pro_item.msg file to get message info. it's included in
this ZIP package, or u can extract these files from master.dat by yourself. copy them to
same directy of FIME.
c.pro files
of course, u need these files to be edited. so i zipped all the pro files in \proto\items to
items_pro.zip, u can find it in my web page too.
3.About save files
in fact, when u open a pro file to edit,FIME also open pro_items.msg too. when u push SAVE,
FIME save pro file and pro_items.msg at the same time. so u can make your custom name and
description of items, enjoy it.
4.BUGs
sorry for not much time to bug-test. if u find some bug, pls mail me so i can fix it on
next version. and if u find any pro mode new, mail me too or post on TUF's WEBboard.
