oppaiko Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hey all, Okay so I am about to pull my hair out. I have looked all over for info on how to make new perks. I see plenty of mods with new perks, but no explanation on how to do it. And anytime I see someone else ask this same question, the answers are lame as hell; like "Use the GECK!" But that's not an answer! HOW do you use the GECK to create perks? I know how to add actor/player abilities in GECK. But I don't know how to add the Perk to the level up screen, or how to add in the prerequisites, etc. I looked into some other PERK mods to see what they did, but I can't find the info that I am looking for that way either. I am SUPER frustrated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkleiss Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Look at this page. It should be enough combined with looking at some existing perks in the Geck to get you to be able to make your own. If not, ask some specific questions after reading that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppaiko Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Look at this page. It should be enough combined with looking at some existing perks in the Geck to get you to be able to make your own. If not, ask some specific questions after reading that page. Yeah, I had already seen that page. And it lists info on how to use the dialog box, but not how to get to that box in the GECK. That's part of my frustration. (Thanks for taking the time to answer me by the way.) It sort of mimics the problem I have finding this info at large: Tutorials seem to start somewhere around, "Once you've opened the (Window X) then all you need to do is edit the values in box (Y)." But nothing ever explains how to actually GET to "window X," it's like people assume you know about it already. And when I go into the GECK "my first creation"-thingy-page, it explains a lot about creating NPCs and quests, etc. But I didn't see anything addressing Perks, or anything looking similar to that. (Granted, I didn't take hours and hours looking, I only looked maybe five or ten minutes.) A great many of the tutorials seem to assume the person reading it is a seasoned modder, or otherwise knows where everything, or nearly everything is.

rickerhk Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 When you want to add something new in the Geck, usually you can just right-click, then 'new. so if you do that on the windows that lists the perks you can add a new perk. Another way to add a new perk is to copy an existing one, then make your own changes to it. Just hightlight a perk, hit F2, type in a new name, and click 'yes' when prompted to make a new item. Once you have the perk open, as long as 'playable' is clicked and a level is specified, the perk should appear in the level up screen by default when you reach that level. To add conditions or perk entries, again - right-click and 'new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
