Hi

I would really like to play this mod but after installation I have a problem with both exe files


with ja2_5465_npc+attachment-fix - Hex_2.exe

I can hear only initial sound but my screen is black. I can not do anything

with JA2_5472_npcfix_DE.exe

After initial video my screen goes black too
And I this mod all in German?

Any help?

When starting new game, FFF-1.13 will try to play two Intro-files

The second one can cause a blackscreen

Both of those video-files use rather old formats: .smk and .bik

And while .bik might be supported by newer OS-Systems, it's rather unlikely for .smk

The first video-file used is in .bik-format and that one usually plays

The second one is in .smk and often causes blackscreen

Tested this with version of FFF-1.13 I downloaded at Bear'sPit Forum in March 21, if it ever gets updated this solution may becomes obsolete


Also:

The interface is a little tricky. sometimes you have to fumble around a little to find the exact spot to close a window, etc)
Sometimes it's hard to see, like the "shut down" at the cigarettes (to get to overview)

It did run on Win10 with both, english JA2 version from Steam and german JA2 version from CD

The original FFF was a german mod, that's why the texts in Intro are german, game itself will be english

Use "ja2_5465_npc+attachment-fix - Hex_2.exe" with english JA2

and "JA2_5472_npcfix_DE.exe" with german JA2 (game UI in geman)

It's a rather challenging mod, I got wiped out quite a few times (haven't completed it yet).
