Fallout 1 (and Fallout 2) Hi-Res Patch for Mac OS X

Fallout 1 was originally designed to run at 640x480 resolution. I wanted to run the Mac OS X version of Fallout on my MacBook 11", which has a 1366x768 display. There is a [high resolution patch][hi-res], but it only supports the Windows version of Fallout.

Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:

Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!

Navigating the modes of Vim

This diagram illustrates navigating through Vim’s modes. It was built factoring Vim 9 (i.e., all its modes, including up to two new modes, cr and cvr, in November 2023). Information about the state() and 'showmode' is provided too.

SVG version

Some features are only available in the SVG version. It is not provided directly from within this gist’s files because SVGs do not always play nicely in GitHub (particularly, refusing to display embedded fonts).

The SVG version includes hover text help, which shows pertinent information about the underlying key, command, mode, etc.
