Static Collection and DLC TIP

[vereena]

Recently while making my Millenium Falcon mod I tried to add an DLC specific item (DLC05Crate04) and each time I did so G.E.C.K. returned an error :

 

"Failed to load 3D for object 'DLC05Crate04' (0100ADDB).

Warnings were encountered creating file 'SCOL\MFcorridorRing.NIF'. Check warnings file for more info."

 

After awhile I managed to find a solution to this problem:

 

use archive invalidation tool: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944

and archive utility tool: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34

 

1. activate invalidation tool, so Fallout and G.E.C.K. will try to find mesh in folders rather than in BSA archive (if you haven't done that yet)

2. extract selected reference mesh to your data folder using utility tool (it will preserve file path for the reference)

3. create your Static Collection Nif.

 

This works for me, it seems that G.E.C.K. has some fancy problem reading BSA archives different than original.

I hope this will help to anyone having this problem.

cheers
