Omny Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I want to try my hand at some serious modding, but I'm hesitant to try anything in the new Creation Kit. I've got very basic modding skills using the GECK for Fallout New Vegas, but some of the new layouts and buttons and whatnot are still a mystery to me. Is there any kind of official help guide to the CK? I tried clicking on "Contents" under the "Help" menu, but it just sent me to the (largely unfinished) CK wiki. Why hasn't Bethesda released some kind of guide with it? They're the ones who made the damn thing; are we just supposed to figure it all out for ourselves? The old GECK wiki is years old, and it still has tons of incomplete pages and notes that basically say "we don't know what this thing does, oh well". Sorry if I sound bitter; I'm just frustrated trying to figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omny Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I just said I was looking for an official guide; something that's actually complete. I'm trying to edit weapons but the wiki has no info yet on weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iXenite Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 That is the official guide. Bethesda themselves link you to it on their site. FO4Edit might be able to make changes to existing weapons, like damage values. If that's what you want anyway. I'm not sure if having the item ID's will be of any help, but there is a Google Doc out there that has all of them. FO4Edit:http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2737/?

TeamBacon Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Why would there be an official Creation Kit guide when there is no official Creation Kit released yet? One it is out of beta and actually released, there will be more guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanity Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Why would there be an official Creation Kit guide when there is no official Creation Kit released yet? One it is out of beta and actually released, there will be more guides.That is one painful NONSENSICAL statement. Those testing the beta CK actually needed the guides MORE than the casual user if they were expected to locate critical bugs. The truth about official documentation is that 99% of the time it is seriously inadequate. The correct answer to the inquiry is to suggest people stop creeping to corporations so much, and start to learn that 'unofficial' sources of information on the internet are likely to be far more useful. Kids are brainwashed at school today to avoid peer generated sources of data, and only to 'trust' official outlets- and it doen't take a genious to figure out who benefits from such an Orwellian approach to life. The Internet is GLORIOUS for one main reason- that it has arisen from the people- in the early days the internet was trashed by every official mainstream outlet as 'useless'. Want to learn how to use the CK (and better the unofficial third party tools) for FO4? Simple- learn how to use Google, and search for ALL the resources that exist online. Learn how to ask questions in the correct forums- and how to learn from examining other mods that do things similar to your plans. Learn that the 'official' 'manual' is usually the worst place to truly understand a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vormina Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 In the OP's defense, the FO4 CK wiki is empty, Goggle brings up nil except for a very few videos that basically just show what the CK looks like as I have searched also for any info, tutorials, or videos on the matter. I guess we'll have to wait awhile until some good tutorials start springing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaffTheSweetling Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yes it is a puzzling one. The official Fallout Facebook page even had a post (1.5 days after the open-beta CK was released) with a link to the "Bethesda CK wiki" to attract people to the Bethesda.net and to get into modding with the tool. Clearly whomever left that post did not check the wiki first because it's still empty. The Skyrim wiki may be useful as there as soooooo many remnants in the fo4ck left over from when it was the Skyrim ck (check out image space editing options and it's "Riften Ratway" here and "Ice Cave" there - lol.
