This is the output I get, when I try to run falltergeist:

[CRITICAL] File::items() - wrong file size

Steps to Reproduce

1. Check out https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist.git
2. Build according to instructions (using either g++ 7.3.1; or clang++ 5)
3. Place .dat files from a Steam installation of Fallout 1 in ~/.local/share/falltergeist/
4. Execute falltergeist from project root dir

Notes

This is on Fedora 27, x86_64; I'm using dat files from a German installation of Fallout 1 on Steam.

The dat-unpacker application from https://github.com/falltergeist/dat-unpacker unpacks both .dat files fine, using the option -f dat1

I can't find the 'dattest' utility mentioned in the closed issue #24 (doesn't exist on github).

Falltergeist is a Fallout 2 engine reimplementation.

[wvstolzing]

I suppose I was misled by the description on the official website, in that case; because on https://falltergeist.org/about it says:

Falltergeist is an opensource alternative for Fallout 2 and Fallout 1 game engines. It uses C++, SDL and OpenGL. Falltergeist requires original Fallout resources to work.

So I thought this would work with the earlier game's data files, like several other 'source mods' for games like Doom, etc.

[JanSimek]

My bad. I just meant that it opens Fallout 2 dat files right now. I don't know what @alexeevdv has planned for the future.

Future Goals (after 1.0)
Fallout 1 support as top priority after 1.0.
