Is it possible to strip the guns from this one specific mod?

[dvs161]

Hello, for the past few years I've been using FOOK2 with my Fallout 3 - the feature I liked the most is the guns that the mod provides.

 

Recently, my Fallout 3 has been crashing more or less 60 seconds into gameplay. The culprit is none other than FOOK2, because after I disabled it I no longer had the sudden crash problem.

I switched over to "Fallout Wanderer Edition" but I want to take the guns from FOOK2 and add those into the equation as well.

I have the Readme for FOOK2 with all the standalone mods listed but many of them are no longer hosted on Nexus, for example most of the guns made by HeroinZero are gone from the face of the internet now.

 

Straight to the point: How do I take the gun files from FOOK 2 and add them to Fallout 3 without using the rest of the mod?

You used FOOK2 for years. Now your loadout crashes sixty seconds into gameplay. And FOOK2 is the culprit?

 

The answer to your question is: very carefully, with a lot of tedious leveled list re-building.

Yes, in fact I started a new game and made it all the way to Rivet City with a handful of Sidequests done. Then all of a sudden the game started crashing less than 60 seconds into play, no matter where I was or what I was doing. I suspect that a file has been corrupted somehow, but I simply do not have the know-how on how to fix that... :\

I went through every mod and disabled it, when I turned the FOOK mods off the problem was no more. Before this happened, I had installed no new mods.

 

I read up about leveled lists, and now I understand a little bit about what you're sayin here... Is this the only method possible? I wouldn't be able to use the FOOK2 mod somehow without all the added quests and World Improvements? As far as I see, leveled lists are related to items/creatures/characters correct?

 

Thanks for such a fast response by the way! I've been trying to perfect my game all day and I've been feeling stuck here ^^'

The Rivet City exterior is a bad place for crashes. You are not using an un-fixed Unoffical Fallout 3 Broken Steel Patch I hope.

 

You could delete everything out of the FOOK2 plugins but the weapons (plus the supporting groups like ammo, texture sets, projectiles, effects, etc.) but then you need to get them to spawn. FOOK2 and FWE take very different approaches to leveled lists. It is just not as easy as it sounds. FOOK2's leveled list diversification is its best feature in my opinion, but also what makes it so incompatible with other mods.
