F2wedit is a Windows application designed for viewing and editing existing item prototypes in Fallout 2, as well as for creating new ones. Cubik is the author of all versions of this application.
About[]
Usage[]
The tool requires the core Fallout data files, master.dat and critter.dat, as well as fallout2.exe in order to run properly. If neither exists in the game directory then the tool won't run. patch000.dat is an optional inclusion.
While the option "unpacking the proto files from .dat" is enabled, then patch000.dat (if it exists in the directory) is unpacked first before master.dat.
Multi-lingual Support[]
The tool currently works only with Polish and US versions of the game. It might work with Spanish as well, but that has not been verified. It is not known if F2wedit will work with other languages as the structure of master.dat is not guaranteed to be the same in other languages.
