Welcome to the September 2022 release of Fallout 2 Community Edition.

Sfall

The main area of focus for the last couple of months was integrating Sfall features and fixes. It turned out to be much larger than I initially anticipated. A number of small to medium-sized modules have been integrated, notably:

• Critical hits (63bcb2d00920b54e695a6afe600b5ca6f6601ed3)
• Books (63bcb2d00920b54e695a6afe600b5ca6f6601ed3)
• Elevators (f5060c301b5853424abe110905454bc051751cd8)
• Burst mod (3ccb087d20c8635eddbf07c836175a93d6de0523)
• Explosions (5170948588990f4a8de5fafcda678f12702ca6c8)
• Unarmed (87289a34c02ec9fa4afa1ccdcdae97409da52b58)
• Damage mod (d86a887cf9da043bab09d1c3f836c23451f01411)

In addition to these modules many isolated fixes were implemented (in random order) from huge modules like Bugfixes, Inventory, and Worldmap.

Quality of life improvements

One quality of life features has been implemented - mouse wheel support (019dbbb56e031dd218c38777c6ecbc5a892ffa83). It should work in every place where scrolling is expected (inventory lists, barter interface, etc.). I’m playing on MacBook Pro and it’s gorgeous trackpad can now be used to scroll both map and world map views in any direction.

Visual enhancements

@MrCool92 noticed 1px offset in the main interface bar buttons and fixed it with #131.

Useful Show loot weight mini-mod has been implemented natively (bee34bfdf47e0f343d52bb643c34b733a6d97cd1). It’s a part of a larger inventory filter mod which I also plan to implement natively in the next release.

While working on it I’ve noticed that inventory scrollers are not centered (besides the right one in the looting interface). It has been fixed by adding/fixing a bunch of UI constants before-hand (c9fa9a4765a89fd5021f38da2dede6b5c2d9cabd, ebba5482068f11cbf5b1f83b3fa227c3d885bc23, 16f0be1a4553826fb6cb35d1a1bbefee485e375f), and then tweaking some offsets (d31e3678701498c325e082e2e60b06389606909a).

The last of the visual changes is a new default font on the world map (db1331761300dda083631c74bc2a2bb96ea6731e).

Android

@edgarmiro improved onboarding experience by adding a progress dialog (#125), so no longer black screen while importing game data.

25fc67fec10bb0dbdc911a9a7fef9de169041537 added mouse events processing, so now it’s possible to use either fingers or mouse/keyboard. There are some ongoing mouse issues which need some time to investigate.

Other

There are numerous fixes related to x64 transition, I won't link them here, but this is the place where I want to thank everyone who played and reported appropriate issues.
