Locations on world map, object placement direction

[Angerous]

Hey folks, got a couple noob questions for ya, Trying to place some things around goodsprings starting off from the east near devils gullet, underground passage type deal.

 

So I got the entrance set fine and it shows on the map, but on the world map, it doesnt show up underneath goodsprings, even when I ran a long long tunnel hella far to the west. And how do I tell which direction Im laying objects, Any type.

 

 

hmm now that I think about it, Anyone know of a guide or tutorial to building custom npcs as well?

 

Thanx in advance.

you'll need a map marker (MapMarker in geck) for your location to show up on the world map, is that what you mean...?

 

And how do I tell which direction Im laying objects, Any type.

what do you mean which direction you're laying objects, like where north is or what...?

well, remembering where north is helps... :-) - and you can always press 't', with an object selected, it places the camera straight above the object, with north facing up ('c' for other angles)

and in interiors, you can more or less choose any orientation you please and place a northMarker afterwards (making whereever it's pointing north), very useful if your interior isn't oriented exactly along the n/s/e/w-axis.
