Mod:Fallout Reference Edition

Fallout Reference Edition is a reverse-engineering project for the original Fallout, 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 from Batalov's reverse-engineering project for Fallout 2, Fallout 2 Reference Edition, could be reused.

The game runs functionally identical to the original. While the original Fallout had DOS and macOS ports, they are out of scope for this project. 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.
