Fallout 2 Modding - Exit Grids in Detail
In this episode I cover just about everything there is to know about Exit Grids and how they work. I also discovered a number of situations that crash the mapper when using "Game Mode" to test exit grids.
While making this video I did my best to document as many of these crashes as I could so you could see exactly what causes them, but the easiest workaround is simply to test exit grids (and probably most map changes) in the game itself.
