Teabone3 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Hi everyone, I was able to successfully build a new outdoor location for Fallout 4. I've had experience in this area of things in fallout 3, NV and Skyrim. but there is only one thing I can't seem to figure out for Fallout 4's creation kit. That is how to actually change the pipboy worldmap? In Skyrim it referenced the actual mass of the whole LOD of the world. In Fallout 3 and NV it required a .DDS file exported as X1. I have made a .DDS file the same size as bostons and exported as X1. I've set the new worldspace to use the worldmap I have created but for some reason it still shows boston and says "commonwealth" in the pipboy map screen. It does hide all the locations that were in boston so the only problem i'm having is getting the correct worldmap texture to display. What could I be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm working on a very large project and this seems to be my only barrier.
Teabone3 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 I understand that for Fallout 4 the process should be quite similar to Fallout 3?
Teabone3 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Has anyone been able to figure this out or have knowledge in this area? I'm assuming its more similar to possibly even NV and FO3
Teabone3 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 Anyone out there had experience with this for Fallout 3 and NV?
Teabone3 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Posted May 18, 2016 I have made the correct DDS file, made a "Location" made a Is(name)Location keyword, referenced the "Location" within the wordspace data of the new "world", referenced the custom DDS file in the proper file path within the worldspace properties. Still get nothing in the pipboy when i "coc" to the new location.
Teabone3 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 I'm really surprised that I haven't gotten a single response... Is there a place for mod developers I'm unaware of?
Bigtalon Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 I think it's refernced in an swf file if I remember correctly
Teabone3 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Shouldnt have to do anything with a SWF animation file. Just a DDS. I hope this isn't a bug.
yatz Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I know I can actually change world map textures in game simply by uninstalling/installing mods in NMM, then re-displaying the Pipboy (without existing the game), so your DDS comment should be spot on. I would think it would be an MSWP record. Haven't dealt with the Pipboy, so I don't know where the entry point would be for triggering the material swap (I'm used to triggering them from OMODs, etc.), but it seems like it should be straight forward. I'm doing some modding this week and weekend, so if I have some time to poke around, i'll let you know if anything stands out.
