like almost everyone ive been using the GECK to edit Fallout 3 and im wondering if you need another program to edit the game settings. and by settings i mean files that say how much negative karma you get for stealing killing and your max level. All i know is that when i try to open them in the GECK it pops up some message and then never opens the file. Any suggestions would be apriciated (ignore bad spelling)

GMSTs are not files, they are defined either within a data file or within the game engine (if they have no FormID then they are defined in the game engine). The GMST that controls the amount of negative karma rewarded to the player for stealing is "fKarmaModStealing" and the GMST that controls the maximum level is "iMaxCharacterLevel".

 

When increasing "iMaxCharacterLevel", you should be aware that there is a bug that causes CTDs when the player reaches a level greater than 20 under certain circumstances (with negative karma, if I remember correctly). As far as I know, it is currently believed that this is due to a lack of Karma Titles for "evil" characters at higher levels than level 20.

so what im getting is that unless i know how to read code i cant edit such things so i should just improve my scripting skills so i can alter what i want that way. well thanks for taking the time to reply cscottydont and cipscis.

well, no...game settings are some of the easiest things in the game to change

but changing them can drastically effect gameplay

so you shouldn't go crazy when changing them because, as Cipscis said, you could cause ctds and such
