Fallout 2 - How to skip/speed up enemy combat

Post » Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:36 pm

so i've been playing FO2 and it is great, only thing is, is that when you fight you get 10 steps for shooting, running and reloading and so do your enemies.
my question is, is their a way to speed up/skip the enemies attack and just witness your own?

I tried playing around with the Combat Speed setting, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

What version of Fallout 2 are you playing?

You might want to try Timeslip's Fallout Engine Tweak Mod. It's made for the official Fallout 2 patch 1.02 however. So you may need to patch the game first.

The patch can be found here: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=82

Please check the readme however, because I don't remember if past savegames will still be compatible.

Once you patch the game, you can apply the Engine Tweak Mod. Basically, it allows you to speed up the entire game.

You can find it here: http://timeslip.chorrol.com/sfall.html

Be sure to download the Fallout 2 file that corresponds with your Operating System.

Hope that helps. Post again if you have any problems.

Ok, the mod consisted of two files, ddraw (configuration settings) and ddraw.ddl, right? Open ddraw. Clicking on it should open it in notepad by default. Once there, scroll down to the [Speed] section.

You should see a list of available speed settings like this:

SpeedMulti0=50
SpeedMulti1=100
SpeedMulti2=150
SpeedMulti3=200
SpeedMulti4=300
SpeedMulti5=500
SpeedMulti6=1000


Below that, look for the lines:

;The initial speed at game startup
SpeedMultiInitial=100


Changing the speed is just a matter of changing the value of SpeedMultiInitial= and then saving the changes.

100 is default. I usually set it at 150 so that the world doesn't move at a snail's pace, yet still look fluid. Though if you're pressed for time, you can set it at 200 and above so that everything will zip right by.

Hope this helped. Post again you have more questions.
