A good place to start might be to look at how it was done in Oblivion (as far as I remember, there were multiple mods that did this). It is likely to be similar for Fallout 3. Depending on what you find, you can probably accomplish it with the reworked BSA extractors and/or TESsnip.

Given that Timeslip were able to add a new weapon with TESsnip, I'm quite sure that it would be possible to edit names of items and similar. It may take some time to figure out how to use it, and understand the file structure. Best of luck! And be sure to backup Fallout.esm before you start.

Which text files? As far as I know the installer places files in - The install directory - The My Games directory - C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Fallout3 If you are refering to the esm (elder scrolls master files) or esp (elder scrolls plugin...

In case you didn't know ... you can use F1 for 'c', F2 for 'i' and F3 for 'm'. Inside the PIPBoy you can use the left and right arrows to shift around. Of some reason this isn't specified in the manual. I haven't checked out if there are som key remapping functionality in the game. If not, I...

Timeslip has converted TESsnip to work with Fallout3.esm (see the file format thread for more info). Might be able to help you with figuring out the id's.

I think this will work: 1) Find plugins.txt. It is placed in C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Fallout3\Plugins.txt (please note that the directories Local Settings and Application Data are hidden). 2) Add the name of the mod file to the bottom of the list...

Which utility did you use for those edits? Or is it still in development? 1) Unzip to your Fallout\Data directory 2) Start the Fallout Launcer (press the Fallout icon in the start menu) 3) Click the 'Data Files' button 4) Check the box next to TweakedCarryWeight.esp and press ok. 5) Start...

Nothing yet. At time of writing there isn't even a Modding Section on the official forums :-(

An easier way (if you are on PC): 1) Place yourself with a child in view. 2) Open console (use the ~ key below Esc). 3) Place mouse cursor over child and press left mouse button. 4) Type "kill" and press enter 5) Close console (use the ~ key below Esc). If they are killable, they will...

Nice find! I hope that it works like that in the European version as well.

You know ... this is the first Fallout 3 mod I've seen released :clap: Congratulations!

That worries me a bit. Provided you placed the file in the mentioned location, I had hoped that the game would consider that the newest version, and use that. That's how the Oblivion engine works (except it's bugged for the textures). I doubt it, but I could be very wrong.

Kewl! Would it be possible to rewrite the source code, so that BSACommander accepts both versions without all of us having to do a hex edit? I haven't got Fallout 3 yet, but if it works anything like Oblivion, these are the steps: 1) Extract the .bsa archive containing sound (using the...

There is a lot of functionality in oblivion.exe that isn't supported by the scripting language. An example could be that you are not able to add experience to the PC, or use console commands in your scripts. Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) is a fan-made project that adds in a lot of this...

Damn! I had hoped that the flak they caught over the Oblivion PC interface had made an impression. Hopefully there will be a way to do some configuration ingame.

Consoles (and gaming) is a *very* large market, which mean that there are a lot of money to be made. If MS can make XBox look better than PS they may be able to gain an effective monopoly over the console market, just like they have it in the OS market. Bethesda actually made Morrowind mods...

I hope you include a conflict detector. It steamlines the building of compatibility patches (where they are needed) and gives the mod user ability to assess the severity of conflicts. It would also be nice if it were possible to only test a few mods at a time - even ones that haven't been activated.

To quote a song from the 90s: It's all about the money. Testing software takes a lot of time and resources. Even more when you allow significant user interaction. This translates into either smaller games or more expensive games. Both of which is bad for the profits of the publisher. This leads...

I know full well that the UOP fixes some 2000 bugs in Oblivion, but my basic point still stands: Patched Fallout 2 and Arcanum still had loads of bugs in them (as other posters have noted). Both games (like Oblivion) has unofficial patches, that try to fix the bugs that were left in the games by...

In Morrowind, mod tools came with the game. With Oblivion, Bethesda were reluctant to confirm wether or not a CS would be released. In the end, the Oblivion CS were released at roughly the same time as Oblivion. My bet is that Bethesda are franticly finishing up Fallout 3, and when it goes...
