Simple Open Freeside
FPGE - Functional Post Game Ending
-
[]Since Trooper decided to retire their patch, I made one here.
[]Tested various endings, all seems to be working.
[]Note: This patch expects a Vanilla "Open Freeside". Any Freeside overhaul or other mod adding things to Freeside will need their own patch to compliment this one.
[]This patch is being kept here for convenience, but is unlikely to receive any updates as I no longer use FPGE myself. That said, it should still be compatible with the latest versions unless major changes happen to FPGE.
Tale of Two Wastelands
-
[]Updated patch for TTW 3. 4.
[]Not much was added to Freeside in TTW 3. 4 (mostly YUP stuff), so this patch is very similar to this one Simple Open Freeside - TTW 3. 3. 3 Patch. Use which ever you want; this was just built using TTW 3. 4, so it forwards like 2 additional things you'll likely never notice.
Goodies
-
[]As of Goodies v2. 4, only a single patch is required as all cut content was moved into Goodies.
[]Extra Goodies no longer needs a patch.
[]Goodies FPGE + Simple Open Freeside patches have been retired as FPGE is no longer supported by Goodies itself.
[]I also no longer use FPGE, and will be phasing out FPGE support for any future patches.
[]Updated scripts to reference "FreesideWorld" where appropriate.
Lived-In Freeside

[]Version provided for Vanilla or TTW.
[]If using TTW, load AFTER Simple Open Freeside - TTW due to NavMesh.
