Changelogs
Version 1.1
This will take time:
this mod contain edited Sfallmod.ini F2.ini and Draw.ini files
Sfall-mods.ini just ensure to highlight corpses and containers, also dissable motion scanner (highlighting is not consistent on F2+Sfall)
F2.ini is the core file that does resolution, fix cpu problems, allow alt-tab and resume after
i also lowered random encounter frequency - its still pretty high without car, but at least with fix
Fix make the encounter ratio not directly tied to cpu speed so you can actually play the game on modern hardware
Draw.ini is mostly cheaty edits for fun and few behavioral fixes
fix the bugs with crit tables
display karma changes
bonus strength is not affected by small frame
Fast Shot act like in Fallout 1, because for me its fun i also dislike the idea of disabling aimed shots with everything, but getting bonus just to ranged guns
Motion scanner does not require charges
explosions now Emit light - quality of visual fix, might affect combat in large area, but its mostly cosmetic, makes explosions cooler
there is also higher than 0 chance that i allowed some advanced scripts, i use mod inventory filter that require it
so rather than additional change you might not want, i will say its compatibility patch xD
it does not negatively affect the game without the mod and i played to test, not 100%, just get to mudok and blow up toilet with Vic
thank you and have a good day
Version 1.0
WOAH Documentation
1st of all, happy to see you there!
F2.dat is absent from this version to ensure better compatibility with future versions of RPU if i be lagging behind - i love fallout 2, but i play once/twice a year like maniac and than break
emm my mistake file i wanted was draw.ini... emm well
Version 1

1920x1080 Resolution
Full HD High Rez format
Borderless Fullscreen
UI Upscalled 2x
Beyond map border scrolling
Everything works fine
General information
Mod was Created in order to provide good config, i mentioned i will be searching for such thing and out of lack of the better ways i ended up making one myself This mod let you experience Borderless Fallout 2 with none of the exploits removed
Features:
1920x1080 default resolution support - feel free to change if you need
UI Scale 2x
Safe Alt+tabbing (you can do it and go back to the fallout window like civilized person)
Hi-rez support
Infinite Scroll distance
Scroll beyond map borders - godsend feature for me
Sfall support - its also Relay on Sfall DXdraw files for some of the features
Works nicely with OBS, however i never had issues with OBS - Classic Fallouts
Made on top of Gog Version of Fallout 2 (can't promise if it will work with steam, i hope it will, but please don't be angry if you experience minor issues)
i like it
Requirements:
You need legal Copy of Fallout 2, preferably Patched to the version 1.02 (official)
You need Sfall installed on top of your Fallout exe
Installation:
Take 2 files from .zip folder and drop on top of Fallout 2.exe localization
Replace 2 files when asked and hope for the best :)
have fun!
Errors i found:
Menu options off-center (only if launched with Hi-rez exe)
You can see NPCes being outside of the map border, if you could not find character in vanilla game, he could be hiding there all this time xD
Can go out of bounce and use it in some maps - i find it amazing - i was able to bypass any combat in klamath and get fuel regulator for highwayman which feels good, but i understand if some people would not like it
no Rage Quit support (Alt + F4 does not instantly quit the game)
Big exploit found:
Player can find the places where they can leave borders of the map and get to NPC Shop Chest i consider it to be transparent exploit
Might help people in critical situations find lost/stolen quest items
Person using this exploit to gain advantage knows he is doing that and its most likely their choice
i will work on a optional version of the mod restrained by map borders to prevent this
Closure:
I love Classic Fallouts Fallout 2 is like Another NEW VEGAS, very good game if my mod helped you in any way, feel free to endorse the project i don't need anything, just take care and have a good day!
Important note: i finished entire game with these settings, pacifist run :), minor glitches.
