Overlap Tolerance in CK?

[DirtyDan86]

Hi everyone,

what I'm trying to do is to get my heavily modded ship to be available for purchase at in game vendors or at least make it spawnable.

If I understand it right, there is no current way to directly import your ship from your save file to CK, is it?

So I tried to rebuild it in CK. A few tests with simple ship designs worked just fine, but my problem now is, that my ship heavily relies on some overlap tolerance.

Is there any way to set this in CK's built in ship builder? Or what can I do to make that work somehow? (Also CK crashes on a usual base when I'm using that ship builder...)

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 

EDIT: Sorry, just realized this would fit better to "Creation Kit and Modders". I'd be thankful if a mod could please move it.

I would imagine that the same methods used to increase tolerance in-game, should work for the CK as well.... I.E. an ini edit?? Worth a shot anyway.

You can add fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance as a Game Setting to an ESM, and it will work the same as if you'd added that line to your INI file.  You have to add it as a "new" setting, rather than as an override.

Oh wow, now I feel really dumb 

Simply adding the line to CreationKit.ini worked like a charm. I didn't even realize this existed until now. 

Sorry and thank you both very much!

This is what forums are for. No need to apologize. There is no such thing as a stupid question here.

i tired myself adding following lines to CreationKit.ini, as i did to StarfieldCustom.ini. but these doesn't have the same effect as they do have in StarfieldCustom.ini. i suspect having the wrong functional header.

working in StarfieldCustom.ini:

[Spaceship]
fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance=-4
bShipBuilderEnableReframeZoom=0

what does CreationKit.ini need to be edited to have similar effects in CK?

Hi, i'm really interested to know how you modify the creationkit.ini to make the "fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance" change to apply in the creationkit.

Please, can you show us how you write it properly because as it has been said the modification bellow does not work.

[Spaceship]
fShipBuilderModuleOverlapTolerance=-5.0000

Thank you

No idea, I haven't tried building ships in the CK.

Not sure there is a way, thought I heard last that the Creation Kit has disabled using anything that edits .ini files or its .ini file.   But I could be wrong.

 

Cheers!

That is correct.  The Creation Kit no longer allows mod authors to upload altered .ini files, as doing so will create issues affecting performance and game settings, adversely affecting overall game stability.
