Question about editing multiple objects in F04Edit


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm currently working on making my own sorting mod by sticking a four-letter prefix in front of every object's name. I've already got all the consumables done, but right now I'm working on misc. items and it's pretty daunting due to how many there are. It's really tedious having to go through each and every one and changing every name one at a time. Is there a faster way to do this? Can I changes names faster or multiple names at once?

Yes, I make a way to do this with one click using AutoHotKey. So, you need to configure the script. Here a sample script and how works:

 

You will need printscreen and use a tool to check the right cursor coordenates of clicks (Photoshop e.g.) and always keep the FO4Edit window in same position.

 

F4::   ;Press F4 key to do all below
MouseClick, left, 734, 172 ;Click in the position that will open a box to rename the object. In "FULL - Name" line I think
Send {F2} ;F2 to rename
Send {Home} ;start of the line. I dont know if the original name will be there. Will be?
Send PREFIX
Send {Space}
Send {Enter}
MouseClick, left, 457, 995 ;Click in the position of down button of scroll bar of the objects list
Send {Down} ;With objects list in focus, Down key will select the next object
sleep, 100 ;
MouseMove, 250, 500
return

xEdit already has a script for that "Add prefix or suffix to Editor ID". Just change "EDID - Editor ID" to "FULL" in the script source.
