Fairly new to modding, have questions about the wasteland.

[mr helton]

Hi, this is my first post on the forum!

 

I'm fairly new to the modding scene (did one mod for FO3 and one for NV).

 

Anyway, the biggest issue I've had with GECK is in finding a specific spot in the wasteland. When I browse the different wasteland sections, they're all listed by coordinates, but I have no idea how to translate that into the game. Say I want to find the piece of the wasteland just north of the graveyard, how would I go about finding that in GECK? Is there some kind of map that shows each tile and their coordinates as they are written in GECK or is it just a guessing game?

 

I hope this makes sense :S

Well, I'm not an experienced modder or anything but I make a few small mods here or there. Just for personal use, I haven't made anything to put on Nexus yet but how I do it, I find the area I want to make something at, find the nearest location, tell the GECK to go to there on the Render Window and move over there and find the area. I don't know if there is any other way though.

As silly as it is, I never really thought to do it that way, thanks! I'm sure that will work for now, though if any experienced modders have any input on a possible "correct" way to do it, that would be awesome.

I've always done what Flapjacks mentioned - there doesn't seem to me any easier way to go about finding a location.
