Fallout Food conversion questions

Post by **_ra** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 5:11 pm

Hello all,

Hopefully I am posting this in the correct location.

Using the excellent tutorials by RoyBatty, I converted Fallout Food by Coleen.

I made a patch for TTW so that the FOD values weren't overridden (is that a word?) but of course the new foods added didn't have the (anti)starvation effect and I would also like to add a (anti)dehydration value to the Brahmin Milk.

1. Can I add an effect to the added food items in FNVedit or do I need to learn to use the GECK?

2. Should the fixes to the existing foods be in a patch file or should I incorporate them into the converted TTW-FalloutFood esp?

There was a conflict with TTW-Interiors. Fallout Food added some items to the Megaton player house which were blocking access to the workroom off of the kitchen. I made a patch file so that all of the changes made by TTW-Interiors were present but all of the added objects from Fallout Food were also there. In game I used the console zap command to get rid of the two added walls and the extra stove and I used Feng Shui NV to move the other added objects elsewhere. This worked for my game but I would like to fix this up so that I could share it here. I assume that this can be fixed in the GECK but I am a bit intimidated. Could someone point me to a newby friendly tutorial for this?

Thanks to everyone who is working on the TTW project. I'm having way too much fun (first time in the FO3 side of things)

After converting the file and updating the version via GECK, you can add the hardcore and perk checks with either tool. It's a lot easier to do it in the GECK however. Have a look at the existing food, and maybe check what I did in AWOP4FO3 or the PN patch concerning what effects and how they are implemented for various things like the food sanitizer and old world gourmet perk.

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the AWOP4FO3 and will take a look. My SOP is to flail around until I break something but maybe I can try learning by example instead.

moving things around a cell is always going to need to be done in geck, but doing all the food values in xEdit is also doable if you're more comfortable/faster with it.
