Like for fallout new vegas mods.

#

Like open archive.

#

Should I just use vortex instead of manual installation?

honest merlin
#

I never use a mod manager. I know where to add the files.

long pendant
#

I don't.

#

I'm new to modding.

honest merlin
#

IDk what, " just unavailable " means. I download the mod {unpack it with the tool just it I want to look around}, add it to my data folder. I use the Bethesda load order activate thing.

long pendant
#

When you're going into the game files to add the mod.

#

Certain things are unavailable.

#

Like open archive or paste the files for some.

honest merlin
#

To actavate a mod you ca also add its name to the default.ini under [Archive].

#

What's the most conformed way you can tell me on how to add mods?

#

honest merlin
#

If you cant paste them to the data folder can you drag and drop them?

#

Can you make a shortcut to your data folder?

long pendant
#

Uh

#

One moment.

#

Yeah, it's not letting me paste so I'm trying drag and drop.

honest merlin
#

Right click on the data folder and look at the permissions?

#

Is this for Game Pass? or a Steam copy?

#

Game Pass you need to take ownership of the files, before it lets you in them.

long pendant
#

Ah.

#

I had mods enabled it and still doesn't allow me.

fossil cairn
#

I advise using ModManager2
It is easy to understand, and very user-friendly

honest merlin
#

It's not a mod manager problem or a windows 11 problem, it's a Game Pass thing. You don't own the files. Like Xbox it's a walled garden. A GOG or Steam copy should work fine.

Hmm...and you're not using something weird like the Junk Jet? (I did mentioned in the description that it won't work with the Junk Jet)
If not, I'm not sure what would conflict with it. The method I always use when I'm concerned about a conflict is:

  1. Disable all other mods using the Load Order menu (don't delete them; just disable them)
  2. Test; if the mod works now, there's a conflict
  3. Enable half your mods
  4. If it still works, it wasn't any of those
  5. Keep enabling a few mods at a time until it stops working
  6. When it stops working, disable one or two mods at a time until you identify the specific mod causing the issue.
#

If you discover a conflict, let me know.

Does anyone know how to make animation with items?
There're many animation with item in vanilla fallout4 such as eating noodles ,using jet or idle animation of vaulttec salesman with clipboard.
But when I apply "PoseA_Idle1.hkx"(this is idle motion with holding clipboard) to player with animation MOD, there's no clipboard in his hand.

Hitman's been porting Fallout 76 content to Fallout 4, and it looks awesome. Shame he can't release any of it though, because of Bethesda's rules... it's a shame that Bethesda won't port anything from Fallout 76 to Fallout 4 either, even before the Creation Club blackout. I'd be glad to pay for some of the weapons from Fallout 76 like the Gauss Minigun or .50 Cal Machine Gun if they were added to Creation Club, but Bethesda won't even make us an offer.

But if all you care about is modeling and materials you can do that and then look for a collision from a vanilla object that will be close enough for your needs

I'm not sure if creating animation can be done with the community plugin or if that also requires the official plugin and 3DS 2013

Hi there. Has anyone considered/made a mod to make wild animals non-hostile? I was thinking maybe something like lgbshi’s peace ring, but just for creatures (presumably guard animals have a different faction and so would not be included). If anyone would consider trying it out (and attempting to get on the PS4 😅) I’d be incredibly grateful!

That was definitely not the answer I was expecting when I saw the notification! However, I was prompted to investigate and was absolutely delighted to find out that Terry was a TES fan! Thank you for bringing this to my attention! (It’s even more impressive that he could average two books a year now knowing he had a game like Oblivion as a distraction. We need to add a will of steel to his list of other amazing qualities 😂)

What's the best scrap mod as of 2021

keen vigil
#

This?

green mirage
#

loving mods on the new console (Xbox series x) I didn't know that fallout 4 could run so smoothly with so many mods loaded. The only problem I have now is the mod limit. Does anyone know if the 2gb mod limit is a limitation of the game or if it was just put in place because an xbox one could not even attempt running more than 2gb of mods without crashing.

# shut thicket What's the best scrap mod as of 2021

Personally I like Raze My Settlement. It automatically scraps stuff for you via holotape. It doesn't break precombines and it excludes a few vanilla scrappable items for either lore or aesthetic reasons (which you can still scrap yourself). Anything in containers automatically end up in your workbench. It doesn't return the exact scrap per settlement but there are scrap shipments basically to give yourself that are the equivalent of what you would get scrapping Sanctuary without any scrapping perks. You can also exclude trees from being scrapped if you use a mod like Seasons. It's configurable and you don't have to manually scrap everything yourself.

#

In all fairness I did publish it on Bethnet for the creator who is a friend of mine, but even if I didn't know the author I'd still sing the praises of that mod. It's a sanity saver.

#

It won't scrap anything added by mods or things like magazines either.

👀

#

That’s another mechanic I need to develop for C76… 🤦‍♂️

fluid bridge
#

OR just ask Zorkaz if you can port his and save yourself the headache? But... I think his mod alters the worldspace and cell edits can be problematic in load orders, sometimes needing patches. Ive no clue if his mod breaks precombines either, so, there's always that possibility to contend with.

#

But its for sure something I like in 76, dropping an extractor down to strip mine for me, or doing it Skyrim-style and hand mining a few resources here and there.

keen vigil
#

The permissions are open to port to console. Whether or not I can ship C76 w it built-in I would need the permission. But now that I think about it, perhaps I don’t need to build that into C76. I think there’s a planned add-on for mining already scheduled.

I asked this some time ago and got a few responses, but I want to see and anyone else has any opinions. So: What's the best Xbox scrap mod as of 2021

fluid bridge
#

Updated Fallout76 style survival mode and C.A.M.P.-lite system (and soooooo much more).
New to the mod is the CAMP system, which allows you to place a dynamically updating map marker for easy fast travel to your CAMP.
You can place a clean sleeping bag (no disease risk), a cooking pot and a STASH BOX.
The STASH is capable of linking directly to ALL settlement workshops, be they base game, DLC or mod added (provided the author set them up properly).

#

Essentially, it's Fallout76 CAMP, without the ability to build settlement items (for now, wink wink).

Hi, new to this discord server, but I have a question for a fallout 4 modder going by the Bethesda.net username CaptainStarDreamer regarding their unlimited carry weight mod: So, originally when I installed this, it didn't work, presumably for the reason stated in your description. But when I leveled up my strength stat in the perks menu, it somehow combined with the mod, permanently increasing my carry capacity to 500,100.😐 Should I be concerned?

Hello all, I just wanted to ask if any of you wonderful and extremely talented modders could help me out. I have fallout 4 on my PS5 and there are not a lot of shotgun mods for PS5/4. I wanted to ask if anyone could make a pump shotgun mod for PS5 I would be so thankful, I'd even support $ if requested. Doesn't have to have crazy reload animations, just would like it to work, have that satisfying pump shotgun sounds, and a lot of damage (possibly a two shot legendary mod if that's asking too much I'm sorry). If anyone responds at all thank you in advance

What mod is it? It is missing a parent.

hot thicket

Data files must have a parent in order for the in game manager to read them. If DLCs are required by the textures, then they must be added to the master files in the header along with the game’s master. Select them under File>Data in the creation kit and save the plug-in.

They will teach most of everything you need to know. Do the tutorials. Learn. Have fun doing it too. Modding is a lot of fun once you know the basics and then you don’t have to port anything. You can make your own stuff and be awesome

I made a Halo inspired hud
Looks a little messy with everything on at once but it'll never have everything on screen at once in game, so it's fine.

# brazen barn Heh yea some of that stuff is flawed. But I may have another go at modding once ...

You certainly have a talent for it, my attempts at scripting end with said script just not wanting to save or work even with help from the dude who made the original mod I was going to mostly copy the script from to make a decent shield mod to add to Caesar's Legion melee fighters to make them less crap (said dude, Thumblesteen of Obscurum fame being fine with it so long as he was credited for the script. I can go further into it if you're interested).

brazen barn
#

I dont have the nerve to fully deep dive on scripts anymore but myself and others can probably walk you through any compiler error you might have.

tranquil abyss
#

The script originally was designed for the player, since it worked on a player only weapon and constantly put an invisible wall in front of them when they blocked, allowing them to stop bullets with it without taking damage. The issues started when I was changing it from the player themself to whomever was using any weapon in the Shield list (any weapon with a shield attached. I don't have it in front of me (computer broke back in January, still yet to get it fixed) but when I get it back I'll try copy pasting it here or in the classic-mods channel.

It was sad that the Forums closed. Felt like I'd lost a home.

keen vigil
#

Never spent much time on the forums but getting feedback via comment section I felt was very important.

solemn plover
# keen vigil How do you think mod authors feel 🙃

I'd love to get a replacement system, but given how few mod authors used comments on Bethesda.net, it's hard to prioritize over other functionality.

Many mod authors already directed folks to alternate sources to provide feedback. Formalizing that may be easier (and faster) to accomplish while we consider the best long-term strategy going forward.

keen vigil
#

I wouldn’t even know where to begin with that… I prioritize Xbox compatibility over PC-exclusive functionality. As such, there are very few, if any really, that share this mindset. Without the comments section, it’s very difficult to get information about bugs and whether or not anyone is enjoying the mod. When you’re this deep into a mod, it can become quite difficult to know which way is up and whether or not the mod is any fun to use/play with.

solemn plover
#

I like comments, and have definitely felt their loss as well. But it has a lot stacked against it.

keen vigil
#

I completely understand. I come from a software development background and know that things get prioritized and/or cut completely for various reasons.

#

Has anyone tried writing text files via AS3 - on console? Essentially just outputting an XML or JSON from AS3 that works on Xbox. I want to try something absolutely crazy: in-game custom UI settings for Xbox.

If text file output won’t work, I have another way of achieving the end goal.

Holotape games read text files from disk but for writing they send back data to be stored in a global iirc.

# solemn plover I'd love to get a replacement system, but given how few mod authors used comment...

I always felt bad or just plain guilty about repeatedly forgetting to reply to commenters. It was never a site feature I used much (if at all), like many others as you described. When I tried linking my Discord as an alternative alongside Twitter as an option, I'd get way too many friend requests before receiving a direct message. I assume it's due to not being able to accept DM's from non-server sharers?

I think that's why. It's a dumb system if you're trying to find someone in particular and one of the few problems I have with Discord. I never really used the Nexus messaging system but it was useful for getting in touch with some mod creators in regards to tech support for their mods (just thumble and that shield mod but still, I need to learn what I can do with scripts one day) or me to support people troubleshooting my one published mod on there.

recently whenever I lockpick, the slant turns really fast and my lockpick snaps; this is particularly challenging on master locks

#

previously, it was the standard vanilla speed that everyone is familiar with

I think that's determined by HUD animations. Be sure you're not using a mod that tweaks the framerate of the HUD.

@brazen barn do you know the memory limits of AS3 in FO4? I’m looking to recreate the 76 HUD in FO4 but a little worried I could blow up ScaleForm 🙂

keen vigil
brazen barn
#

There is a limit but Im not sure what it is. Ive heard of people a few years ago that had issues with that one mod. The one that adds inventory icons to most items?

keen vigil
#

Or a previous version of it

#

I suppose it depends on how it was implemented. If it uses custom entries for each item type, I can see that blowing up ScaleForm.

#

Also… are the different menus, such as Container and Examine just added to HUDMenu’s stage? I ask because HUDMenu’s notifications in the top left will come through even though another menu is open.

#

In other words, could I access ExamineMenu by tunneling through HUDMenu: HUDMenu.GetExamineMenu().InvalidateList().

brazen barn
#

Each menu is like a standalone application, and HUD is it's own. Each menu is isolated into application domains. There is no way to directly interoperate with another "application domain".

#

And I can’t leave a msg via text file either… going to have to creative…

#

I take it there’s no way to save changes to an existing text file on Xbox?

#

I know I can’t write a new one.

brazen barn
#

No, disk space is tightly regulated on xbox which is probably why its disabled. Serialization like that is intended to be into the user game save (esm/esp). 😦

#

I called out "on xbox" but its limited the same way on PC.

keen vigil
#

PC doesn’t have write access for a new or existing file from AS3? I suppose that would be pretty dangerous if one was able to.

brazen barn
#

AS3 can do IO just fine, its just bethesda's implementation of scaleform in their engine.

keen vigil
#

Ah

#

Well… I think the closest thing I might able to do… is create a new ini entry and then Papyrus my msg to that. Then use an AS3 file reader to grab the msg.

brazen barn
#

is create a new ini entry and then Papyrus my msg to that.
I dont follow this part but reading data it fairly flexible. 🙂

keen vigil
#

Well, ship my mod w a custom ini entry and then use Papyrus to send a msg/set a flag to my entry in the ini.

brazen barn
#

I think papyrus will only change an ini value in memory, wont actually write changes to the file. That means you lose the ini change after a session restart. 😦

keen vigil
#

Hm… then I wouldn’t be able to get the msg to AS3… back the drawing board.

brazen barn
#

Maybe its an XY problem? What is the nature of the messages? Concatenated strings with runtime values within?

#

Any why do you need to persist these messages?

keen vigil
#

Aye - runtime values. I don’t have a direct line from Papyrus to ContainerMenu. So the msg needs to persist long enough so AS3 can receive said msg.

#

I can get messages to those menus - it’s how the CND bars work across the various menus now. I was just looking for a more direct or Injection solution — a HUDFramework-esque way of getting msgs to AS3.

#

Externalize and inject w the ability to communicate runtime variables. Workarounds are getting exhausting 😅

#

I can compile the SWFs w a SWF loader - most actually have the loader already. So the actual injection wouldn’t too hard to do. But that communication line is where I’m getting derailed.

#

I’m probably overthinking it.

brazen barn
#

You got F4SE atleast to enable the scaleform log to file stuff enabled?

I’ve tried Trojan-style w damage types, value, weight, etc. It does work to a degree but quickly falls apart for varying reasons.

Im holding back until I see was nexus does with their public release of mod collections. The broken ecosystem for mods is one of many reasons I got wore out. Im not saying that nexus feature will fix everything, maybe even make more problems, but Ill probably take that as a mark to jump back in again.

#

I wouldnt say Im a genius or anything too. I just talk more openly about it than others I guess.

I’m not a fan of Nexus’ demand for control. I come from a very dog-eat-dog programming world; where everyone wants to know the secrets so they can screw you over. Not joking either - there were a few in my industry that unknowingly at the time trained their replacements. It became very much “if you know something, say nothing mentality.” So the idea of surrendering control the way Nexus is demanding… it doesn’t work for me. I almost quit entirely because of it. But here I am… using every possible workaround to get every FO76 system into FO4 while maintaining Xbox support.

#

Going back to the HUDMenu and different applications - does the game just choose how the menu applications are layered?

#

There’s not just a single stage that everyone loads themselves into? Would make things that much easier 😅

brazen barn
#

does the game just choose how the menu applications are layered?
Yea. I dont really understand everything but this is the partially decoded types for that. Menus appear to have an AS3 Stage, name, depth (z, higher # is closer to your face), context (groups), bit flag options like kFlag_PausesGame & kFlag_UsesCursor.
https://github.com/ianpatt/f4se/blob/master/f4se/GameMenus.h

Each of those root menus is like a separate flash movie being played in a flash player. Adobe Flash & AS3 create Flash movies which need a movie player to run. The adobe desktop flash player, browser plugin players, and scaleform are examples. What is unique about the scaleform player is that it is distributed as source code and built directly into your game. Now the game IS a flash player or at least has one. Since scaleform is source its really scaleform + whatever Bethesda did to it. But yea, the game source defines all the layering and contexts of things. Thats what Ive gleaned over the years.

#

From that link you can see that a Loading menu loads above everything, then the cursor menu, then the console menu, and so on (descending)

#

also, they are not listed by order of depth

#

I dont even know, is that decimal mixed with hexadecimal on the depths?

keen vigil
#

Looks like Hexadecimal to me.

brazen barn
#

If its hex i guess that puts cursor above all

keen vigil
#

Aye

brazen barn
#

You xbox users wouldnt know what that is smh 🙃

keen vigil
#

LoL

#

Never said I was Xbox exclusive 😉

#

I just go very far out of my way to ensure Xbox compatibility. And controller > keyboard/mouse any day.

brazen barn
#

At least you can test that part on PC by plugging in an xbox controller. If only you can test a mod my loading it to a usb stick and popping it in the xbox direct.

keen vigil
#

FTP yeah, I really wish USB sticks allowed for that - maybe in Starfield? 🙃

#

I am curious what UI system will be in Starfield. Hopefully ScaleForm again 👀

brazen barn
#

I bet its even kinda decent to work with too when you have actual source files.

#

I kinda want it to be scaleform again too because I fear change lol

keen vigil
#

Not so much I fear change… it’s just I’ve spent nearly a year reversing and understanding how Bethesda authored the SWFs. To move that aside and learn something else…

sick ingot
#

Not sure if questions are for this chat but, If I wanted to start a new character on console would I need to disable all of my mods that I used or just leave them enabled? I’m planning on using all of the same mods for the new character

keen vigil
#

There are very few w that requirement however.

sick ingot
#

I have quite a few mods so ill double check on that, but I’m just thinking it will be too much for the save to process when starting up the new character, not sure if that even is a real concern lol

#

But thanks

keen vigil
#

Shouldn’t be as the game will have already loaded those into memory.

sick ingot
#

Oh okay

keen vigil
#

That said, any mod that spawns items in your person will be removed before you reach the Pipboy. And if they’re one-off items w no way of crafting a new one, you’re screwed.

#

Learned that the hard way in my mod 🙃

sick ingot
#

Just a couple holotapes that would be added, I think that’s all

#

Like mod configs

#

using start me up

brazen barn
#

Yea that, its an easy thing to overlook as an author, hard to test because the start game is long and tedious.

keen vigil
#

There’s an inventory wipe when you put Vault-suit on as you enter the Cryo chamber.

sick ingot
#

With start me up there’s an option to skip all that

#

I have no idea if that solves the inventory wipe or anything lol

brazen barn
#

Gotta listen for some stage of quest mq101 to complete iirc (as an author). Startmeup probably avoids the wipe.

Me neither, LoL

Is this the one where you sit in a chair and not much else happens except looking at the water until it says you caught a fish or not?

Yeah thats the one. Not a fan of mods that edit vanilla cells.

But a well made mod all the same. 🙂

sick ingot
#

Skyrim’s fishing is a cool addition but there’s authors who already made it so you can fish from a boat

#

I probably should of asked this before, but technically could I start up like several different characters with just leaving all my mods enabled? Btw the inventory wipe doesn’t happen with Start Me Up when I start a new character

honest merlin
#

Most mods should be enabled after the start up part.

sand summit

no you shouldnt enable mods after you stsrt a game

Depends on the mod there are few mods you don't want running during the opening sequence.

Hey question, is this a good place to ask for a little bit of creation kit help? I'm struggling with an issue with a mod I'm making and must be missing a little something to make things work

brazen barn
#

This is the best channel for FO4 CK questions.

loud fossil
#

Alright, thanks. I have an auto load door that is set to be initially disabled. I have a quest alias pointing towards it as a specific reference. I have a property in a script pointing towards the alias. Buuut when the script calls the door .GetReference().Enable() on a quest stage the auto load door doesnt appear. I know the quest state itself is working properly since the associated dialogue is working, and I have allow disabled checked on the alias. The script specifically is ecaHellModFogLordDoorEnt.GetReference().Enable() and as far as I can tell, everything is set properly. Any ideas as to why this won't work?

#

If you DM me I'll send images of my set up, don't want to spam it all here

fluid bridge
#

@loud fossil - I assume the load door is flagged as a persistent reference? If that quest starts and the door is not actively loaded, it may not be filling into your alias (provided its set to optional, otherwise the whole quest would be failing). In your shoes, the first thing I would do is go ingame and allow that quest to trigger as it will normally, without forcing it (or if its autostart, all the better) and then do an SQV on the quest name in the console and scroll up the output list to see if your alias for the door is even filled or not.

loud fossil
#

The door alias is not set to optional

fluid bridge
#

If the alias = NONE, there its not filling and that could be caused by persistence (since you already state allow disabled is checked, it wont be that issue)

#

Okay.

#

Is it part of an enable parent setup?

loud fossil
#

Nope

fluid bridge
#

Hmmm...

loud fossil
#

How does the filling into the alias work though? Because I think the save I tested this on already technically had the quest started. If the alias only fills when the quest starts that might be my issue

fluid bridge
#

Are you sure the alias is pointing at the physical mesh of the door and not its portal marker by chance? Only other thing I can think of.

#

Ahhh...

#

If the quest was already running, it will not refill new aliases.

#

Stop and restart the quest in the console.

loud fossil
#

I see, thank you

#

I shall test this

fluid bridge
#

Perfetto.

#

@ me if you need anything else.

loud fossil
#

thanks : 0

#

@fluid bridge Huh, so I used resetquest and it still doesnt seem to have worked

#

buut i can confirm the aliases aren't being filled

#

in fact now the npc alias won't seem to fill properly on an older save that didnt start the quest

brazen barn
#

Its probably best to only test mods on a game save that has never encountered your mod before. A gamesave set aside that simulates a first time install of your mod. You can get away with testing on a "dirty" save with several things like weapons, armor, cell edits, and other stuff. But its not really supported. Look at some of the issues here and thats just for papyrus. https://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=Save_File_Notes_(Papyrus)

loud fossil
#

hmm okay. Ill try with a fresh save then

#

Although, this particular save should've worked. its the same character but an older save from before i started work on the mod

brazen barn
#

An old save from before your mod should work then, nevermind me.

#

Maybe post a screenshot of your alias window from the CK too.

loud fossil
#

actually I might have just figured something out

#

I had one alias pointing towards something that couldn't be filled and that screwed it all up i think

#

yep that solved it, thanks guys!

brazen barn
#

hehe, rubber duck solves it again

hot chasm
#

@fluid bridge are you going to expand upon your new fishing mod? I sure hope so. It would be very nice if you added a whole bunch of fish species and new textures. Maybe include a patch for having different species in Far Harbor and Nuka World and collaborating with Delicon, the maker of Mutant Menagerie, to include the fish from there to work with your mod. You can maybe add fly-fishing.

fluid bridge
#

I like it where it is. 🙂

#

It has a few fish, base game, no reliance on external mods or DLC.

#

Down the road, the PC version will be able to leverage such things as I transition Advanced Needs 76 to use such things as the DLC and external mods.

#

On Xbox, that is not so simple a thing to do.

#

(Especially using external assets from other mods - not impossible, just not fun to set up in papyrus)

#

I recently transitioned over to harvesting wood from trees with an axe though, so my focus is there right now.

#

It says coming soon, lol, but the Xbox version of this mod already has the wood cutting in it as of about an hour ago.

keen vigil
#

@fluid bridge beat me to harvesting wood 👍

#

I have something brewing for Xbox players that I’m sure they’ll enjoy - outside of Crafting76. And I don’t think it’s been done before on console.

I mean, the fish are there, but they are NPC actor types.

When you kill them, they have meat on them. But the NIF file representing them is a chunk of meat, you know?

Like in my mod, when you highlight the raw fish, it shows you the actual fish.

If I added his "dead fish", you would only see the meat and not know what you actually caught.

Hey question guys for my mod again. I need to teleport an npc from their default location to a specific area when a quest stage is hit. Whats the best way to do this? Its intentionally being done as a teleport, so no pathing or anything, and it happens offscreen from one worldspace to another.

That won't duplicate or break quests right? And can be assigned to a marker?

Are we not allowed to pack ini files w Xbox mods anymore? I’m wanting to disable the Pipboy FX.

Yeah - same here.

You cannot pack ini files in a BA2. They will automatically upload if you name them the same as your mod (AKA be careful when you have any in your data folder).

honest merlin
#

Wow, ok thanks. now I know.

zinc hare
#

In order to test that they are working on Xbox, you must completely shut down the game. Guide button > Select Game > Menu Button > Quit

#

No problem. 🙂

#

Many people use the Pipboy Fx disabler mod already on Xbox so you could simply recommend it to use with your mod, Captain-cold-muddy.

#

Ini edits are also load order specific. Any mod that has an edit to the same line will override when placed below.

Hi everyone! A year ago, we announced a big, story-driven new world modification for Fallout 4: A Tale of Jo, Liz, and a Better World. Today, we’d like to share more details and our latest progress in our exciting new development update video.

A Better World tells the story of two women on the run from the Institute: Jo and Liz, and their mission to create a better, safer world. After three years of relative safety, their past has caught up with them: they find themselves hunted by retention synths and a rogue, ruthless courser, with everything they’ve worked to build at stake. To support this story, A Better World features a dual setting split between the vast wilderness of Abbot County and the derelict ruins of an underground pre-war shopping center called Vault-Tec Plaza.

A new project from a small, experienced team of developers (including developers behind Alton, IL for Fallout 3), A Better World will feature an extensive questline, a beautiful new world full of unique activities and challenges, an entirely original soundtrack, and more.

Anyway, that’s it for now! As always, we’re really excited to share more of this project with everyone. 🙂

# surreal verge How are you doing this porting?

In Unreal (UE5) and C++. I made a couple of robots to crawl the WRLD object for Commonwealth from the original game. Primarily get the NPCs, static meshes and markers transforms. Then spawn an equivalent in Unreal with the same transforms.

#

Separately, NIF->FBX->UAsset conversion so there is something visual in Unreal. Visually it's using basic materials, I'm not an tech/artist.

#

It was meant to be a scientific experiment in its original design, serialize data and such, no focus on visuals, but when I realized that I can do NIF->FBX->UAsset, then I thought I should give it a try with them for a more similar look

#

Currently I'm thinking about porting Papyrus to Unreal, but nothing concrete yet...

#

As I'm not an artist, the primary focus is automation, so the visuals are very basic, minimal materials and postprocessing involved, automatically populating a map with ~700,000 objects without manual labor is the primary focus of this experiment

how do i upload a texture file from the texture folder and subfolder texture to xbox

honest merlin
#

In the data folder, C.K. will make a folder called Xbox. Put them in that folder, each time you upload to xbox C.K. will look for the files it thinks you need. Double check it is pulling files from that xbox folder. If all that works fine but the textures don't show in-game, use the Elric tool to optimize them for Xbox.

zinc hare
#

If it's a single texture, load Fallout4.esm and any other required masters in the CK and save. Upload like you would normally. When the CK prompts you to add files, add the files either manually or via .achlist. If you've changed a mesh, make sure you include the material file of the mesh. The mesh itself is not necessary for upload unless it's completely new or the UV is remapped. FO4 meshes =/= Skyrim meshes

I'm sorry, alaann. That's not enough information to help. Are you using the CK packer or Archive2?

For CK packing:
Make sure the slashes are going in the correct direction. Unfortunately, the CK archiver is finicky about those slashes and will not add to the archive if they are bass akwards. Happens all the time. Creating an achlist is the best way to do things if packing from inside the CK. Many mod authors prefer to pack via the Archiver2 utility.

For Archive 2 packing:
Can you post a screenshot of the log? It is at the bottom of the Archiver2 screen.

Materials:
Also, textures in FO4 are not just the texture folder. They are also the material folder. Textures won't change if you've not included the BGSM or BGEM file. Buildings textures are baked in. Please do not disable the precombines. You'll turn off the game's optimization system. Here is Material Editor if you need to create new BGSM or BGEM. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3635/

i havent done alot of modding for f4 yet so dont know how the ck works for f4,i have managed to change the building textures but there is another layer effectingme of them (maybe the materials) are the precombines textures or meshes how would i test them i havent noticed any glitchs yet other than textures not being saved for upload for the the paths with slash heres a picture with the upload the bottom one the slashes are pointing the wrong way all the rest are the other way the texture is working ingame although im not happy with it but it does display (there is also a mesh included that probley wont be in the final build im currently using a test esp)

zinc hare
#

If there’s no change, the textures are baked into precombined meshes and cannot be updated without regenerating new previs and precombined geometry for the optimization system. Which could be anywhere from a couple megs to a couple gigabytes. FO4 =/= Skyrim.

#

This article is for scrapping mods but the principle is the same: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/scrapping-mods-and-performance-issues.6992/

#

Per AndrewCX's article: Texture replacers – texture replacers can be implemented in several ways. On PS4 these are highly likely to break precombines in order to get the altered texture to display. On XB1/PC there are a number of approaches that can be taken - if a straight override approach is taken (where the mod essentially replaces each texture file with an identically named file in an identical file structure) then this won't break precombines however if another approach is taken (material swap etc) then precombines will need to be broken in order for these changes to display. Unfortunately there's no way a console user can tell these methods apart by looking in-game so it's important to carefully review everything the author has provided and do some testing in-game with just that mod enabled looking for the signs of disabled precombines/previs. Even texture replaces that are described as "optimizers" should be treated with caution - a lower resolution texture implemented by breaking precombines will damage performance far more than the savings from the less detailed graphics.

Just don't replace the meshes without rebuilding the geometry please. it is a pain in the butt to rebuild. Especially if you have a last gen or later GPU.

#

OH.

If you're doing render window work.

# pallid brook I'm running the game with mods, but in vanilla it's the same thing

Skip custom weapons and armor, custom bodies/faces, heavy weather mods, texture mods, and any mods that break precombines in that area. Those will all decrease your performance. Adding Boston Less Enemies will also likely help. Otherwise try to keep your camera focused on the ground more, walk in don't fast travel in, and avoid using molotovs and nukes.

#

Most optimization mods are useless or in a few cases actually making things worse. Let us know what you're running and we can give you an idea of what's helping and hurting

#

Boston FPS Fix is one of the few optimization mods that actually works, but only if you don't have anything conflicting with it. It'll conflict with anything that breaks precombines/previs in the same areas that mod touches

woeful charm
#

An explanation for folks about my suggestions:

  1. Mod added weapons, armor, body replacers are much higher poly counts than vanilla items. They require a lot more draws on the GPU. The textures for these replacers are also usually higher resolution than vanilla. If the weapons and armor are in the leveled lists and thus showing up on enemies you've multiplied the number of draws even more than if the weapons/armor were only used by the player character alone.
  2. Most weather mods are more demanding on the GPU than vanilla weather.
  3. Most mod authors who do texture work for PC know how to optimize textures for PC but not Xbox, they require different texture formats. So if the author is unaware of that (and most are) and the textures are optimized for PC then naturally they will decrease performance for Xbox users.
  4. Breaking precombines/previs can be ok on PC if you have good hardware. But low end PC's and consoles really can't handle this. Most mod authors have good machines and don't realize just how bad the impact is on lower end hardware. This is assuming they even know about precombines/previs, not all mod authors even know about this performance optimization system since it's new in F4. Older world editing mods which haven't been updated in years are particularly likely to break precombines if the mod was created before mod authors learned about this system at all. See this article that explains the precombines/previs system: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/scrapping-mods-and-performance-issues.6992/

Is there any mod that can lock the viewmodel FOV or set it automatically? Is such a thing possible to create? Right now I'm running fov 87 95 every time I start the game. From the research I've done it seems only possible to change the viewmodel FOV via the fov console command.

#

The problem is when the fov is 95 the pipboy gets too small

zinc hare
#

You can set it via initialization edit but as you see, the Pipboy is too small.

uneven sedge
#

even running a console command automatically could work for me

zinc hare
#

Don't touch the edit for the FOV on First person.

fDefaultWorldFOV=70.0 just the world edit. The edit is a float, not an int.

Maybe they used the xEdit script to remove unnecessary stuff from the new precombines? Otherwise yeah that sounds fishy

It's just on that zone I have problems, modded or not

AFAIK, the only way to do that is to remove the precombined meshes. They cannot be compressed. Only the devs have the tools for compression. We do not have Umbra licenses.

Or the xEdit script. Forgot about that.

But it isn't compression. It's removal.

You should cut back to no more than 2-3 that add to enemy level lists, the fewer the better. Mods which let you craft guns for yourself and companions that don't get added to the enemy level lists are fine though

I've knowingly installed things I knew weren't a good idea. Sometimes you just need to break the heck out of your game, as long as it's an informed decision have fun. But if you've been told what will break things, do it anyway and want to complain it's broken... don't waste my time. I'll happily educate folks that don't know any better, but if you don't take my advice...welp you're on your own. 😁

I knew it would break everything

This leads to another piece of advice I often provide...don't get too attached to a save game. Be ready and willing to start a new one on a regular basis. Modding a game automatically carries risk.

pallid brook
#

But I installed to see how the game would look

pallid brook
zinc hare
#

That's for Equilibrium. It hard edits some of the level lists. I was going to re-distribute with scripting but I liked how the MA had done their throwing weapons lists and it needed the hard edit. If you don't want the new lists with Equilibrium, load high. If you want the new throwing weapons, load low. Scripted will go after that.

pallid brook
#

Lots of updates came and I started over to make sure everything was fine

woeful charm
#

Mod authors are generally hobbyists with no training. There's no official courses to teach this stuff. No mod author knows as much as the game devs about all of the game. Some of us do our best to learn everything relevant to our mods. Some just wing it without doing due diligence. Some are too lazy to fix something once they've been informed they did it wrong. I've personally taken a few years to fix things I knew weren't fully correct but decided were minor issues. We're all human and imperfect as are our mods.

I mean just because someone says, "they need to update that" or "that doesn't seem to work right" or "ouch. no. that doesn't work" doesn't give people the right to go on a tear and harass a mod author or porter.

No monthly subscription necessary.

Thank you

Hey LBGSHI I’m new to discord but not fallout 4, I had a question about your ring of infinite ammo mod in FO4 and if you know why it won’t work in power armor? If your not looking to patch that’s cool, it just struck me as odd as I was wearing it in PA and nothing but I jumped out and used another gun and it worked and jumped back in and nothing. Like I said it’s cool it’s just gonna change my playthrough a bit as I wanted to roll around in Nuka Cola PA and spray.

@subtle cloak Armor / clothing items are removed when you get in PA. If you are on PC, you can fix the ring yourself.

I’m on ps4 and that sucks thanks for the reply

Kind of on a white whale hunt but has anyone ever seen a mod for The Castle where just that giant heap of broken stone that acts as the "Staircase" on the southern entrance area gets removed? I can only ever find fully renovated ones but I love patching the walls with creations of my own via workshop mode. Of all the "why don't people clean up after themselves" moments in F4, fully renovating the Castle but never doing anything with a gigantic pile of potential building materials makes me the most crazy.

Ahh, that explains it.

Apparently everyone with the skills to alter the mesh would rather fix it vs just remove the rubble

viscid lake
#

Makes sense if you're going to go through the effort. For some reason I thought it was just part of the terrain with a different material or texture applied.

#

A hastily raised "hill" painted like rubble.

It's basically a jest mod. I don't even play F76 and I have no serious hard feelings against Bethesda. I love Beth games. 😁

#

Considering you have to build file cabinets with caps instead of wood and steel I don't actually expect the mod to even get a large download count. 😉

#

But the caps definitely provide immersion! 😉

#

In a few more years when F76 is where ESO is now I'll consider the investment for sure though.

#

But also...a... A single file cabinet. 🤷

It’s free on Gamepass…
Sorry, it’s in the Fallout 1st small print that we have to evangelise and try to recruit more players

#

I'm a PC Master Race. Can we even get Gamepass? I don't even know. I'm allergic to paying subscriptions for anything I'm not playing hard core regular. I pay for ESO and Second Life because my partner likes to DJ music in SL. Otherwise I pay for a game and DLC if I like it. You have to really appeal to me to rate a monthly payment on top.

#

And everyone forgets to mention that the new cabinet snaps to duplicates of itself, unlike the other file cabinets
It’s the Alpha Cabinet

#

Yup, Gamepass is pc and Xbox

#

A lot of Beth games are on there now, for obvious reasons

woeful charm
#

I will likely provide snap points and other features for my mod at some point (Xbox and PC only sadly thanks to Sony).

#

I still feel it needs to be acknowledged that we're still discussing a single file cabinet that utilizes a mesh from F4 vs anything new and special. 😉

novel pumice
#

Hahaha

#

I have no logical comeback for that

woeful charm
#

I'm not going to go any further here, I'm not hating on Bethesda, maybe a bit disappointed but I'm also not personally affected. I may improve on my mod in the future however to give F4 players an even better experience. 😁

#

And now I'm off to bed. Enjoy your gaming and modding everyone!

Finally logged in and see what the filing cabinet is all about, lol. Thanks for bringing the splendor of proper filing to F4!

Is it odd that I want a Raider version now, with blood and perhaps a severed hand in the cabinet?

viscid lake
#

Yes, but its also cool.

I'll just keep on keeping on in that regard. I appreciate it!

I didnt know if you had tried that or not. But I've never used that or scrap everything before. This playthrough is my first time using sim settlements mod

Definitely don't break precombines on an Xbox

broken pebble
#

No its also why I havent ran the prewar sanctuary mod yet. Im worried it'll mess up the least leggy part of fo4

woeful charm
#

It will

broken pebble
#

Yeah thats why I tend to stay away from most settlement mods other then the no build limit thing

woeful charm
#

Any world editing mod that changes landscaping (such as flattening the ground) or alters structures like replacing broken pieces with whole pieces will break precombines

broken pebble
#

When I ran that and made elaborate settlements it seemed to make the game more laggy

woeful charm
#

You also want to avoid the no build limit mod and use alternatives that let you control how much you go above the vanilla settlement budget, you don't want to go more than twice as much as vanilla limit on Xbox

#

The precombines/previs system is the primary performance system for the game to maintain a decent FPS, if you break them it disables that system for that area and reduces your FPS

#

I don't recommend going above vanilla build limit at all in Hangman's Alley

#

I also don't recommend building in more than one of the three settlements in the triangle of death AKA Sanctuary, Red Rocket, and Abernathy

#

Pick only one to build in and keep it reasonable

broken pebble
#

I usually do sanctuary as my main settlement and the rest I do the bare minimum needed to keep settlers happy. And if there's too many I send them to either sanctuary or the castle. Maybe the drive in too. But the rest dont make sense to make them very big or get more then 5 people in them

woeful charm
#

That's smart, console can't really handle building up all settlements more than that

broken pebble
#

Until this playthrough I tended to.stick to modern weapons, mojlnir armor, sometimes green in the commonwealth and visible galaxy and true dark mods

#

On the moonless nights you should not be able to.see without night vision at all

woeful charm
#

Last I heard Visible galaxy 2k version was broken and the other is 4k which is really too much for console

#

Simple Green is safer to use than Green in the Commonwealth

broken pebble
#

Yeah green in the commonwealth caused alot of problems for people. And I ran it before the simple green came out. But it looked better then the new one. I didnt know the galaxy one was broken now. That might be why I deleted it after we got internet

woeful charm
#

Be careful with not having too many weapon and armor mods hitting your level lists and being worn by NPC's, especially raiders and gunners. It'll make downtown worse

broken pebble
#

Thats why I went with modern weapons. I dont like the fact that I'm the only one with one shot guns. And thats why I went with moljnir armor. That way I could survive 2 shots from a one shot weapon. All the super mutants spawn with high end top of the line sniper rifles. The raiders spawn with smgs/ar/ak variants. Same with the settlers

#

Oh if any Xbox modders read this i do have a request. How hard would it be to get mossy oak as a paint scheme for combat armor and power ar.or???

woeful charm
#

Having all the enemies in downtown using mod added weapons will reduce performance in that area. Mod added weapons are much higher poly counts than vanilla and vanilla are already kinda high

broken pebble
#

Oh really. That might be why my game messed up so bad when I was running dawn of the minutemen, militarized minutemen, modern weapons and moljnir armor and a few other mods

woeful charm
#

Yup that'll do it

#

Just because you can run a wide variety of mods on console doesn't mean you should. The vast majority of mod authors only play on PC and have no real idea of what the console limitations mean for the users of their mods

broken pebble
#

I mean i only had major issues in certain loading areas. Like I had to enter bunker hill from the side entrance. I had to get to the old north church from the oceanside and I couldn't turn right towards the old corner bookstore leaving goodneighbor. Other then that the game ran fine. But my issue with the weapon mods is noone made an ar 15 mod I like outside of modern weapons. And I'm not a fan of being stupidly overpowered

Hi folks, I just came back to Fallout4 (Xbox) and was disappointed to see that mods I have previously loved have gone. I'm looking for the Arkham Knight armour, would anyone happen to know who could/would port it back over? Cheers
