Geck Troubles.

[zealot64x]

Did lots of mods on FO3 no issues at all. Recently wiped my computer, and picked up New Vegas. After beating it I wanted to dive straight into modding but am having issues with the GECK. I installed it, and chose to do so in the New Vegas folder as it was the only one in the Bethesda folder. I did and launch geck, the NV.esm is there (Woot!) but when I try to load it GECK says it doesnt support the version I am trying to load. So I look into the GECK Updater to make it 1.5, and when I try to use that it tells me there is a missing registry or INI file.

 

I even tried making a Fallout 3 folder for geck to install into and putting the patch in the same folder, but to no avail.

 

Im sure the solution is simple, could somebody please help me :)?

You're trying to use the GECK made for Fallout 3. There's a totally different version for New Vegas.

lol yes

 

I had a problem when I wanted to use the GECk without placin it in the new vegas folder.

 

so overall:

- FO3 GECK in Fallout3 folder

- NV GECK in NV folder

 

when you try to open a file directly by double clicking, it will open with the FO3 GECK since it's the one that gets "installed" whilst the NV geck is one that you copy the files directly to the folder.

 

so when you try to open a new vegas mod by double clicking, you get a strange file with nothin inside.

 

just pointing out.
