irswat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I am having a hard time understanding the FormID to decimal conversion. This is the reason I'm confused:http://forums.nexusm...s/#entry7802807JIP here mentions that "37615 is the decimal of 92EF - the FormID of the Holorifle." However in GECK the Form ID for the holorifle reads "010092EF", which yields a decimal conversion of "16814831". Which is correct? I am trying to add the huge rage axe, from MoModWWE, to weapons compatible with the MeleeHotkey mod. The FormID of the Huge Rage Axe in GECK is "01EF4470". Does this get truncated to "4470", to "EF4470", or do I convert the entire 8 digit hexadecimal to decimal? I converted the entire 8 digits hexadecimal to decimal and got "32457840", but I yield a different result if I only used "4470"-17520, the last 4 digits of the weapons FormID. Which is right?!SOLVEDUSING THE ENTIRE 8 DIGIT FORM ID WORKED! I've made my first mod! Edited February 13, 2014 by irswat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luthienanarion Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 FormIDs are actually 6 digits with a 2-digit plugin index as a prefix. The only time you'll ever deal with FormIDs in decimal form is when used with the BuildRef function in scripts, which does not use the plugin index because it is variable based on load order; for every other usage of a FormID you will need the entire 8 digits.

irswat Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 thank you. It is for use in conjunction with the buildref function, and I actually figured out to use all 8 digits to convert to decimal after playing around with it for a while.
