Modding for TTW

Post by **Jordomav** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 9:40 pm

Hello, I'm a professional developer of about 3 years now and looking into getting more into modding for TTW. I specifically have a lot of experience in C++, C#, JavaScript, and Python. Up till now all the mods that I have done are just basic armor and weapon mods that my friend and I worked on. I was wondering if there are some specific guidelines for making a mod for TTW? Such as are there particular configurations that you have to do for the GECK? Maybe if someone has a GitHub or Bitbucket repo that I could look at to get a feel of where to start.

I've looked through the FAQ about it and know about modding for New Vegas but just want to know if there is some extra tips and tricks I could get or maybe some examples someone would be willing to show me.

Thank you!

Would you want to pick up the reigns of the ModOrganizer development? Since @Tannin's departure it has stagnated into a couple of steaming piles of mess.

I would want to dive into the code base for it first, I'm assuming this is the repo? https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer

Yes. The MO2 repo is also being cared for by another user, @LePresidente, however he lacks sound C++ skills (in his words, not mine).

I've got some ideas on how to progress development but I too know just enough C++ to get me into trouble but not enough to get me out. Aside from the issue of lacking time to focus on it.

If you want to discuss this further I can also be found over at STEP were MO's support is housed officially.

I’m sorry but I’ve never heated of STEP before. What’s that?

STEP, it's where the online help files for MO are hosted, as well as being a very well moderated forum for all things Bethesda/Obsidian. All the Fallout games and The Elder Scrolls games are discussed in detail, amongst other things.

Gotcha, thank you for clarifying.

I would not bother as MO will be replaced by NMM soon, that is where the dev of MO went to work anyway

We have no idea yet what Vortex (the NMM successor) will be like, but they already said they're not going to do the VFS like MO does. So as far as I'm concerned, continuing MO development still makes sense.

Fair enough then, so long as there is still a want and a need there is reason to do it!
