Editing Game Settings in G.E.C.K.

[Looca]

Hi everybody.

 

Probably missing something really obvious here.

Googled and looked through the Bethsoft Tutorial, maybe I'm just too tired.

 

Here's the thing: I'm trying to modify or get rid of game settings.

Specific example: sOverEncumbered (FormID 000A79A8), the corner message that shows up when I'm overencumbered (duh). I can delete the message in the G.E.C.K. but the surprised Vault Boy image still shows up. Deleting the entire thing does not appear to be doing anything at all.

 

Is this in a script somewhere or what? Is it possible to get rid of it? Am I being really stupid?

If I could get this to work the next thing would be to modify the messages that show up when reputation changes (eventually, all pop-up messages shall be exterminated).

 

Any help would be appreciated.

What triggers this message to pop-up is most likely hardcoded, therefore you can't disable it entirely. The same is true to any message that uses a string-type game setting.

you really can't turn the player character into a hulk, but you can do that to armors, any armor can have huge carry weights so when used, you can carry the planet. BUT ! take that off and forget what you have in inventory ,you die . simple overloaded, you can crush the player.

I'm not sure either statement is correct.

 

I've had approx 10x my carry weight in my inventory. I had a device which increased my carry weight which I then accidentally gave to a companion. I have never seen any indication that carry weight could damage or as you claim kill you. What is the basis for your claim that over-encumbered = you die?

 

Also you can fairly easily edit the strong back perk to give the player effectually unlimited carry capacity. The ability to carry 6-7 Buicks seems at least a little 'hulk' like.

 

Most importantly I don't think the OP was asking if he could be strong but was he could remove the message of being overweight. That is not something I can help with since I've never really been bothered by the popups so I've never looked in to them.

Oh balls. I guess that at least means I can stop trying. Thanks for your reply.

You are correct. Thing is, other messages are easily dealt with, e.g. "You are crippled" and "Push V to enter VATS" are triggered via script (and are actually Messages).

Hm. Well, it seems my plan is failing. Will have to live with it, I suppose - thanks for the replies nonetheless!

Why not edit the XML ("message_menu.xml") to not show any message or message icon if the goal is to get rid of all of those type messages?

[Looca]

Erm reasons.

That actually sounds like a good idea, problems being that I don't want to touch those files as I don't know jack about how to edit them so they still work and the goal isn't getting rid of all the corner messages, just the more annoying ones, i.e. ones that repeat over and over, and pop-ups (which, apart from reputation changes, seem easy enough to disable).
