Starting Equipment

Temaperacl · Post by **Temaperacl** » Mon May 13, 2002 7:17 am

In case it is of use to anybody:

Everyone starts out with
Knife
10mm Pistol
10mm JHP (x2)
Stimpack (x4)
Flare (x2)

The following items can be started with if the indicated equation is equal or greater than 20. There's a couple of things I'm not sure about, but so far, it seems to work correctly..

Lockpicks:
(LOCKPICK-(PERCEPTION+AGILITY))/2 - 20+ GIFTED * 10
OR
STEAL-AGILITY-20+ GIFTED*10

Brass Knuckles:
UNARMED-(AGILITY+STRENGTH)/2 - 65 + GIFTED * 10

Stimpack (2x):
FIRSTAID-(PERCEPTION+INTELLIGENCE)/2-30 + GIFTED*10

FirstAidKit:
DOCTOR-(PERCEPTION+INTELLIGENCE)/2-15 + GIFTED*10

10mm JHP:
SMALLGUNS-AGILITY-35+GIFTED*10

Throwing Knife (2x):
THROWING-AGILITY-40+GIFTED*10

Tool:
REPAIR-INTELLIGENCE-20+GIFTED*10>=20

Water Flask (3x):
OUTDOORSMAN-(INTELLIGENCE+ENDURANCEC)/2-5+GIFTED*10>=20

Mentats (2x) & Buffout (2x):
SCIENCE-2*INTELLIGENCE-25-GIFTED*10>=20

If anyone finds a problem with this, please let me know..

You actually get more stuff based on your skill? Cool, I'd got no idea about that. Thanks for the tip...

Not sure about FO2, but this formula works pretty much the same in FO:T as well.

In Fallout 2, the only thing you start with is the spear..

Oh, right, that's the deal ... Thanks for clearing it up, Tema.

Is it just me or is that spear getting more and more annoying every time you play the game?

Just looked through the script file for the starting location..

Tank · Post by **Tank** » Sun May 19, 2002 8:31 am

I really should finish my C++-book so I could look through that source-code...

Temaperacl · Post by **Temaperacl** » Sun May 19, 2002 9:18 am

If you mean the scripts, the decompiler doesn't output C(++) code, so it wouldn't be all that useful to you for that..

Tank · Post by **Tank** » Sun May 19, 2002 10:22 am

Figures. So what does it output? Assembly?

Dang, that's really handy.

I never use the FO2 spear...I almost always have unarmed combat skills over melee. And I knew about the lockpicks, but none of the other stuff, cool.

It outputs the script file which I talked about in the Modding section. And I will get aroudnd to writing up a description as soon as I get a chunk of time.

Is it just me or is that temple getting more and more annoying every time you play the game?

I know what you mean... It truly is annoying, but hey- you can get some easy XP in there for all it's worth...

Gifted trait allow your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. increase accordingly, at the cost of starting with lower stat. If I remember correctly...
