Replacing the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite

[Quicksilverk]

I know there are quite a few Lucky 38 redesign suits already available, I'd like to try my hand at making one. However I'm very new to the GECK and have been limited to modifying weapon/armor stats so far.

 

I have been working on altering an existing mod but I'd like to start from scratch with the original. Just a few things I'd like to know first.

 

How can I replace the Presidential Suite? Do I simply duplicate it and then delete the original? I'm just not quite sure how I make it so that I have an overriding file. I'd like to release it once it's done finally.

 

Also is there a way for me to personally 'back up' the original cell so that I don't completely ruin the suite if I mess up? Bear in mind that I am very new to the GECK.

 

Any advice is welcome.

Make a duplicate of the cell you want. Do not delete the original.

 

Search the scripts for "lucky38" and "elevator" (don't remember the names offhand.). There are two, one for the door and one for the bot. You will need to create a persistent heading marker in your new floor and edit the player.moveto statements to send the player to your new floor.

 

While you are at it, find the Lucky38 packages for each of the follower and change the sandbox location to your new cell as well .

Great, thank you!

 

Do you know if navmeshes will be a problem if I rearrange the rooms (and possibly add a new room)?

Another question to help me out with this.

 

Can anyone advise me how to change the script for the elevator and Victor as the elevator so that the destination is my duplicated suite?

 

As it stands the markers are not what shows up in the script and the destination in the script isn't even the name of the original cell. Any advice would be appreciated.
