how to put files into a ESP?

[thrashordie]

hi,

 

so i'm trying to create a mod that is compatible with TTW. i took an already existing F3 mod and want to convert it to a TTW compatible FNV mod. i know how to do this with ESP files already.

the problem is, this mod doesn't have an ESP. so i want to take these loose files and pack them into an ESP so i can convert it for TTW as i did with the other F3 mods.

i created an ESP with GECK after the tutorial of the official website. means, i loaded up F3 and FNV ESM and clicked SAVE, which game me the option to created an ESP. but in that tutorial after creating the ESP it only continues with how to make a vault, and i'm not interested in that. i just want to put these files from that mod i have into that ESP i created. how do i do that?

 

thanks.

i am using FOMM yes. didn't know it could do that. even though i'm not sure what a BSA ist.

 

the the files i'm trying to put into the ESP are from a mod called fallout 3 hd audio overhaul

I take it you're just converting mods for own consumption, not public release? (Takes an amount of experience to do the latter correctly).

 

You don't need to do anything about the loose files. Just copy them to the Fallout folder as with any other mod. If there's no ESP, the mod needs no conversion and is compatible with TTW by default.

yes correct, only for myself. i think publishing someone else's work would not be legal, or at least rightfully anyway.

oh okay that's cool. do these files have to go into the fallout NV folder or the fallout 3 folder though?
