Halliphax2 Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Hi guys, Would you happen to know how to change the text string that shows up on the map markers in the world map? For example, if I wanted to change Sanctuary Hills to Autumn Hills, where would I go? I have a feeling it's in "Worldspace" but nothing seems to be named correctly, it's all just the FORMIDs, so no idea how to find anything in there
minngarm Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Should probably have put this under the Fallout 4 list.
LeanWolf Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 If it's like Skyrim, the names are stored in the actual MapMarkers.

I can't see anything in FO4Edit... If it's like Skyrim, the names are stored in the actual MapMarkers. Yeah good point my bad! Could a mod move this if they get the chance?

TrickyVein Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Build reference info and find the reference by looking at the Referenced By tab for the static map marker object (00000010). Better than combing through a haystack of persistent/temporary references in cells.
pra Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 *threadcromancy* Is there any known way of renaming a map marker via script? I tried F4SE's setName once, but that doesn't work. I think I tried setDescription, too. Via quest alias, maybe? Has anyone else ever tried doing this?

None of the above works, SetName, SetDisplayName, etc, both via alias or objectreference :/ Have you found any solution?
piotrmil Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Right, one amusing thing: map markers accept tranlatable SkyUi strings. So if there is no way to change the name in game, maybe one can ask users to edit their own files. unless there is some way for game to edit text files?
