Fallout 2 Save Game Editor

Basic save game editor for Fallout 2 for MacOS (Windows support might be added later).

I wrote this editor for fun as hobby project for learning react-native. While replying the classic Fallout 2 recently I ran into an issue where I got the reputation "childkiller" when a kid accidentally got hit by a shrapnel. This reputation blocks a LOT of quests and AFAIK there's no way of removing it. To make matters worse I also got eye damage which gives you severely poor aim. One can remove this if you have the doctor skill, but there was also a bug in Fallout CE, where when using the doctor skill the screen would go black. Thus, two major pains ruining the fun. So I could start over or write an editor, obviously I chose the latter.

Mainly tested with the amazing Fallout CE (check it out), but also briefly verified it works with the GoG version.

Update: I migrated from react-native to Wails as it is much easier to work with both in terms of support for web libraries and native OS components across supported platforms (Mac, Windows and Linux).

Disclaimer

This editor is not in any way extensively tested. The author is not responsible for data lost or corrupted. Use on your own responsibility.

When clicking "Save" no backup is created. Therefore, always manually create a backup.

Known Issues

• Not all perks may correctly update stats (most of them will, but I may have overlooked one or two)
• App does not open with the full window size so you'll have to expand the window by dragging the corners to view the full app.
• Quitting the app by clicking on the "Quit" button does not work. Just press Cmd+Q
• When the file modal is open, hover effect is still triggered on the elements underneath the modal. No harm done, the modal still works as it should.
