Mod:Fallout 2 Reference Edition

Fallout 2 Reference Edition is a reverse-engineering project for Fallout 2, created by Alex Batalov.

Background
The scope of the project was to turn the original game's executable back into functioning C code, restoring the source code as close as possible, including all of its imperfections. As Fallout and Fallout 2 were created on the same proprietary game engine, much of the code could be reused for Fallout Reference Edition, a project to reverse-engineer the executable for the original Fallout.

The game runs functionally identical to the original. Batalov later used the reverse-engineered code of both games to create Fallout Community Edition and Fallout 2 Community Edition, which serve as modern reimplementations of the original games, complete with quality of life changes and engine bugfixes.

Install

 * The original game must be owned in order to play, which can be obtained from platforms such as GOG or Steam.
 * Download latest build or build from source.
 * The serves as a drop-in replacement for, it must be copied over to the game's directory and then executed.
