They are not goths.

It just looks a bit like that when you put in real pic in to fallout 2. Kinda gets a bit darker and loses 16000 colors or something like that.

WTF, Quake 2's rocket launcher?!

Stealing art from other games is lame.

I'm seeing what appears to be a mixed up verson of Deckard's gun from Bladerunner. I love it.

Its not stolen. It was drawn by John Dunn. If some other game had similar rocket launcher has nothing to do with stuff being stolen. Both quake and unreal tournament had similar weapon. But yea that one looks quite like quake 2 rocket launcher.

maybe not "really" the same, but they're very similar to each other. I'd say "id" would have a case if they decided to make a deal out of it

But it rawks, looks hot.

Yea but quake games are open source now. So it really doesnt mather. If that pic does anything its promoting quake. Plus its not even called same as its in quake. Its called Tactical Anti Air Canon and can be loaded and shot 4 rockets. Takes 3 ap per rocker. 2 ap if you got fast shot perk. So you can reload it and shot of all 4 mini rockets if you have 10 ap char. Pretty cool.

In this mod weapons that can blow up stuff are 10 times more usefull than they where in original fallout 2. Cause blowing up enemies in peaces is one of few way you can get enemies to drop their weapons when killed.

The code is open-source. Art assets aren't. Open-source doesn't mean "free game".

Haris · Post by **Haris** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 3:06 pm

Still it doesnt even look the same. You cant sue someone for making similar stuff. It would be other thing if we just took a screenshot of it and cut it out and put in to the game. But we didnt. Street fighter tried sewing some of games that had same concept or beat em up and alot of characters that looked allmost same as Riu and Ken. But they had no case. Neather the name nor look of them where 100% indentical.

Plus John Dunn has been doing graphics since Snes times so i am pretty sure he knew what he was doing.

It's still kinda lame.

Haris · Post by **Haris** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 3:26 pm

It would be lame if we where selling the game or if we made a game from scratch and used it like that. Like if it wasnt a fallout 2 mod. But this way it doesnt mather.

Certain lawyers, if sufficiently compensated for their time and professional arsehole tendencies, would disagree. Nonetheless - meh.

Anyway...

Has anyone tried out the mod with the addon? Any opinions on the mod now. Is it better with addon?

Hey, don't get me wrong, not accusing you of anything. I was stating that I liked what I saw.

ApTyp · Post by **ApTyp** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 7:37 pm

No, I haven't. The goths and Quake 2 rocket launcher have convinced me that the mod sucks ass.

Haris · Post by **Haris** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 8:15 pm

Oh please like you would have played it no mather what was in it. There was plenty in regular fallout games that wasnt retro 50s. But some how you live in imaginari world where everything in fallout was retro 50s and realistic and 100% not stoeln from any other game or movie. Just get over it.

I won't. Not unless you pay me to.
