Fallout 1’s Pip-Boy screensaver in Fallout 2 #557

Closed blackpaulillyria closed 4 months ago

blackpaulillyria commented 4 months ago

I am wondering if it would be possible to restore Fallout 1’s Pip-Boy screensaver inside Fallout 2’s engine?

For those not sure what I’m talking about, see this video: https://youtu.be/VGbnmLxgomE

Are you sure it's not in vanilla FO2 already? I remember seeing this recently. And I only ever use sfall'ed FO2.

I can’t say with 100% certainty if I recall ever seeing it in Fallout 2 but I was surprised not being able to trigger it there. It starts fairly quickly in Fallout 1’s Pip-Boy but in Fallout 2 I can’t seem to trigger it. I’ve waited for about 5 to 10 minutes.

https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-re/blob/main/src/game/pipboy.c#L424 FO2 still has that "screensaver". I load a saved game, press P to open Pip-Boy, keep my hands off my keyboard and trackball. The screensaver starts after 2 mins.

Works for me.

Alright, then it’s an issue on my end. I’ll try to figure out what’s causing it not to start.

OK, it didn’t work because I had MASH’s HiRes mod enabled. Thanks for helping!
