NVedit "fatal could not find ini"

[TrooperScooperMKII]

I gave up on Wrye Bash after learning that New Vegas Edit works better (why isn't it mentioned on the NVAMP site?) but I can't get it to work. I installed the .dat and .exe files to the new vegas directory, but it keeps giving me a "cannot find ini" error. At first I assumed that my original download was faulty/missing a file, but the second dl was exactly the same.

Help please?

Try running the game launcher once, then re-run fnvedit.

So, I got it open, but it won't do anything when I right click...

I'm utterly lost, both in the load order and the pack file thing. NVAMP's site is outdated and lists .esps that weren't included in the file download, and the relevant mod pages are of little help... it would be a miracle if it works the first time or even the tenth.

 

Anyway, this is the error it gave me.

ETA: I can't believe I just noticed this now, but FNV edit isn't showing all the files, maybe the top third, it cuts off about three esps in. Also there isn't a scroll bar for the left window.

 

ETA2: found the error log file..

I feel like an idiot. The NVamp page had a separate file for the "missing" .esps... :facepalm:

The descriptions weren't exactly clear, but it was under the main file section, so it was required.

Now I need to edit the core esp to change its master file for the npc tweak update. I can't load it in FNVEdit without the missing master, though, and the master version isn't on Nexus anymore.
