Questions on conversion for four mods

Post by charwo » Sun Feb 07, 2021 7:36 pm

I'm gonna try and get the conversion script port from FO3 mods for TTW, and I'm wondering about which mods don't work for conversion and why

My targets are
1. 3dNPC for Fallout 3 by Kris Taskiki
2. More to Megaton
3. The Librarian
4. Rockville Commons

And if possible
Devil's Wish by Devil's Wish

I'm wondering what will work and what won't and why. I'm also wondering if I can make ports and if they work for me, if I can release them as is because there are seven years with more technical prowess than myself. Because if I can get functional mods out for other people, so much the better for everyone.

None of it will work if all you do is run the script. The script converts some of the stuff that's tedious to do by hand, but you have to use the GECK to fix everything else.

OK, what stuff need to be fixed in Geck?

I know there are the FNVEdit changes but what's this about the Geck?

The header version can only be updated by saving it in the GECK for starters. Scripts need to be updated and changes need to be forwarded. That can only be done in GECK. Navmeshes can only be done in GECK. If conversions were as easy as running the script everything on the nexus would've been done by now.
