GECK, GAH!

[hircines alpha werewolf]

I installed GECK last night but didn't get around to doing anything with it, This morning I boot it up and the first thing I try to do is ... Stopped in its tracks!

I tried to alter a weapons stats, I open the weapon sheet and change everything but I cant accept these changes! the sheet is too long, it goes off the bottom of my page and I cant scale it down so I can click "accept" or whatever is down there! please help me if you can. :wallbash:

raise screen resolution

 

No offence, but that help was... useless, it's already at max. And i have temporarly created a work around by moveing the taskbar to the left side of the screen, i can now just press "Ok" Only JUST! But now, a new problem! when i try to save my work it doesnt apear in the fallout 3 data file, i can only see the file when i try to save in the GECK it does NOT apear in Data file nor does it apear in the Mod mannager and before anyone asks, YES i am saving it stright to the Fallout 3 data file from the GECK, the .esp just doesnt apear when you goto the data file, and FOMM can't find the file either. and yes i am 100% sure i am SAVING the .esp to the data file.

 

Why can't the GECK just work like TESCS did?

 

I really am getting frustrated with the GECK. and if i try to save my .esp anywhere else it says "invalid directory"

 

GECK is GETTING on my nerves! :wallbash:

If you have Vista or Windows7, AND you installed your game in the default directory, then you will never see the mod in the data folder.

 

The GECK is NOT part of the game so the OS sees it as a virus or trojan program trying to change FO3 game files. This is not allowed by the OS.

 

 

Solution? Pick one of these:

 

1. Install your game to your Root C: drive. Like C:\Games\Fallout3\

2. Remove the security from your OS so it can join the XP computer ranks and become a Zombie computer.

3. In your \Fallout3\Data\ folder, look at the top right. There should be a button called 'Compatibility Files'. Click that to find your mod. You can then copy it from there to your Data folder.

4. Run the GECK in Administrator mode. Right-click on the icon and select, Run as Administrator.

 

 

===============

 

Now, if you want to install the Fallout3 game somewhere else per #1 above without loosing your current mods you have installed, you can do this:

 

1. Move your existing \Program Files\Fallout3\ to your C root drive in a new folder that you need to create called C:\Games\ It should look like this after the move: C:\Games\Fallout3\

2. Rename the folder you just moved in step 1 to C:\Games\Fallout003\

3. Uninstall the game. Check the option to keep your save game files. This will clear the registry and not remove any game folders because you moved them somewhere else.

3. Re-install the game to C:\Games\Fallout3\

4. After the reinstall is done, DELETE the just installed folder at C:\Games\Fallout3\

5. Rename the folder from step 2 above to C:\Games\Fallout3\

 

If done right, this will change the Registry to the new game folders location, plus keep everything you currently have in the protected folder location.
