Commonly asked questions, with the answers pulled together from various parts of the forum.

 

INSTALLING MODS

 

The easy way

 

You can use the >> Nexus Mod Manager <<, which will install and uninstall mods with one simple click, and doesn't require manually unzipping files and creating the right folders for them. (Note: this is still in beta).

 

There are other mod managing systems available, such as Wrye Smash, which can be used in combination with the Nexus Mod Manager or by itself.

I'm interested in learning how to take some moves that already exist in the game and using them as the basis for some new controls.

For example: Make a shield sprint that staggers without the paralysis effect, making a sprinting option for sneaking, and adding a standing roll using sneak roll.

Any advice on what to learn about if I'm interested in that?

OK I downloaded the Fallout Mod Manager... and nothing in that program works.. as in it won't allow me to open any files. It actually can't see any files

 

Did you start the BSA browser from the Start menu? It will be in listed as a sub-program under fallout, but you can run it separately.

yeah I can look at the files now and when I hit extract to a file I want, it saves them as a dds file. From there I cannot get them to open in Photoshop. I'm not new to modding video games (just this one) and have modded dds files in the past. It has been a few years but it shouldn't be that hard.

Did you install the plugin for photoshop that allows you to open .dds files? Sorry I didn't actually link it in :P

 

I think it's this one

Hi everyone!

 

I have a few questions, if someone knows the answer please tell me!

I want to do some scripting, in Skyrim, but I need some knowledge. So:

 

1.) How do you initialize VARIABLES (if you can) in Skyrim's script?

2.) How do you use conditonal structures, like IF ELSE?

3.) How do you use loops, functions, operators?

 

If someone could answer at least a few of this questions, it would be really helpful!

 

Thank you, and sorry for my english!
