Do not use Bethini?

Post by Vector87 » Wed Jan 02, 2019 10:01 am

On the FAQ it lists Bethini as a program to not use with TTW, was just curious as to what exactly it changes that breaks TTW? I used it primarily for the tweaks and the changes to fade distances which supposedly use other ini edits other than the fLod ini edits. If it's not advisable to use Bethini what edits to the ini should I make for comparable results?

It breaks Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, and it unnecessarily edits to the fallout_default.ini which should never be done ever because then it can't be restored without verifying the files, which can undo other intentional changes to other files instead of just running the launcher after deleting the Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini. It's irresponsible at best and malicious at worst.

There is no need to ever edit the ini files since FalloutCustom.ini was implemented in JIPLN (and the newer games already have these ini files). Put your tweaks in there.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely skip Bethini from now on. Would you mind just taking a look at my fallout_default ini and making sure bethini didn't bork it? I've done a fresh install of TTW but ran Bethini on my old NV install and just want to be sure. https://pastebin.com/nh67A3QE

That looks like your FalloutCustom.ini
