killap hat sich heute wieder zu Wort gemeldet
"Sorry for even more delays everyone. I basically hadn't touched anything Fallout related for several days and only yesterday (Jan 4th) did I actually sit down and work like a fiend. Real life commitments take priority.
Here is the situation. Because I was behind in working on the RP, new dialogue was not sent to the translators in time. I *could* release today, but this would mean that the French and Polish translations would not be complete and some parts would remain in English. The german translation is also still in the works but I am not sure when that will be complete. I hate releasing things half complete, so I don't want to release in this state, yet I also don't want to hold the release back for too long. A new semester of classes starts for me in a week, so I obviously want to release before then. I also don't want to rush the translators since they are doing this in their free time and they really don't have any obligation to kill themselves over this.
At this time I have decided to wait a few days and see what happens. To compensate, below is a change log of what to expect in RP 1.3. This update started off as a big maintenance release to address all the known bugs in the RP (many more have been fixed than what is listed, but I just lost track) Interestingly, the majority of the bug squashing was actually done to vanilla Fallout (thanks to the lists by Haenlomal) Of course, bug squashing is not the only treat in this new release. The biggest content change are 3 recruitable npcs found at the EPA. They are quite detailed with hundreds of lines of dialogue. A few other additions/modifications are also included to further improve things. I will stop droning on and just let you read the log. When this baby finally gets released you won't be disappointed!"
*Note bug fixes made to the vanilla game are not listed below but will be included in the unofficial patch change log.*
New Content/Vanilla Game Changes:
• Updated Sfall to the latest version (1.37).
• Source of the "too many items bug" seems to have been found and fixed. Horders rejoice!
• Added option in the installer for new animations for the Sniper, Hunting Rifle, FN Fal(s) and Wakizashi courtesy of Josan12.
• New AP Ammo mod included which fixes the problem of hitting for 0 damage (Horrigan, etc).
• All party members will now give text floats when crippled, radiated, poisoned, etc.
• Kaga's dialogue is now all handled through the dialogue window rather than through text floats.
• There are now 3 (fully detailed) recruitable NPCs found at the EPA.
• Elevators at the EPA now act like elevators in the rest of the game (no dialogue window).
• New graphics for the cryogenic chambers as well as a new electric chair.

• It is now possible to smell the cologne on Cody's dead body and deduce that Jules is the killer.
