McclaudEagle Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi everyone. I've been trying to learn to mod for a day or so now, but I've run into another problem. I can't seem to make my mod into a usable esp. plugin. I did what it says on the GECK wiki, but it doesn't appear in my Data folder, and in the GECK, it shows up with an image of a padlock. Any links or help would be great. Thanks, McclaudEagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickleman9686 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Do you do anything weird in how you try to save it or do you just click save? Also does it have the mod contents or is it just an esp with no contents yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McclaudEagle Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 I simply selected the merchants, brahmin and security to essential. I then saved it directly to the Fallout 3 Data folder, but you can only see the esp when in the GECK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickleman9686 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 So ONLY in the GECK can you go through Explorer and see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McclaudEagle Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Yes, whenever I look in the Data folder, nothing appears. It also doesn't appear in FOMM or the Data Files in the vanilla loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickleman9686 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hmmmm Im not sure what to say, all I can think of is close the Geck and then restart it, then check if the ESP is there. And if it is then we know its physically there if it isn't then do the modifications over again and save as a new ESP. You can also try go to folder options and showing hidden files and folders then go to the Data folder through explorer and see if you can see it.
