tomer-k: Thank you both for your answers, but although I'm spotting the traps many times I am still unable to see them or disarm them. I remember that when using the Fixt mod I was able to disarm traps when I spotted them automatically, but now playing the original version. Are you sure we are talking about Fallout 1?
One thing you can try, and I did this for some hard to see traps and later it just became a routine.
- Click on the Disarm Trap skill and your mouse will turn into a cross or something I think.
- Then just start clicking a few tiles where you think that traps might be or just all tiles nearby as you go.
- If there is no trap, a msg will indicate that I think. If there is, chances are your character will move towards the trap to disarm it.
- Normally your character stops if a trap is spotted. So that means the trap should be fairly close. Like maybe one of the 6 tiles in front fo you. If the slow wway to do it, but that's all I can think of.
Also consider that something may be off in your graphics settings, as I had no issue at all spotting traps in FO1 (running on Win7 install). Try uploading a screenshot if you can, maybe we can get some clue as to what is going on.
Also look up Fallout1in2 (goes by FO Et Tu), cause it has a lot of QoL improvements and may even some more fixes. Kinda think of it as a FO1 remaster lol. Still the exact same story afaik but with a lot of the benefits of FO2.
Not pushing you towards it, but it might be work at least looking into. :)
P.S. FO1in2 should also have pretty much all the fixes Fixt has and more if I'm not mistaken.
