GECK and FOSE problems.

[WhiskeyriverAZ]

I have a couple of problems,and hopefully someone here can help.

This is about Fallout 3.

I can get the GECK to download onto my PC,but when I open it,it only allows me to repair,modify,or delete it.There is nowhere that lets me use it,or even to open it up.I've deleted it and gotten the mod again,thinking it might be the FOSE itself from where I got it,but nope. No matter where I DL it from (3 times),it wont work. I know it must be me maybe?

I'm running Win8,and the game is perfectly fine.Even with all my mods.

I just am not able to create anything or change something ingame.

Please,..can you tell me what I may be doing wrong?

And,now i have no idea how to make the FOSE work,though I've tried reading a couple of things on the web.It all just seems so overwhelming. I wish it was like in Morrowind (the original single player). The Creation Kit is amazingly easy,..compared to whats come after. I made so many fun mods,though I didnt post them online.They were just for me.

Please,if anyone can help me fix my two problems,..let me know.

Where have you put the GECK executable? it goes in the games root folder, I don't think it works from anywhere else. FOSE also goes into the games root folder along with the bits that come with it, you then run the game double clicking the Fose_loader.exe. The only other thing I can think of is that your game is installed in your program files, it is then move it, Windows UAC can cause problems if it's in the program files.

Hmm,..I dont know if the FOSE is in the root folder or not. As to the GECK,..I cant even get it to open from the Winrar download. It keeps giving me that repair,remove,or modify bit. I download the package onto my desktop,and it just wont unpack at all.

Ok,I got it to open up and load into the PC just now.However,.it says I am missing this file:

libvorbisfile.dll

It almost worked. I just added the GECK file I just found at Nexus, to my Bethesda Fallout file. How do I find this file it wants,and where might I add it to.

Your replying to this newbie is greatly appreciated. :}

I think you downloaded the wrong GECK. The error you are getting is for a FNV file not FO3.

Hmm,..I'll have to go find another one and try again.

Start here: GECK Wiki

 

You will find the link to both the FO3 GECK and the 1.5 update.

 

Then go and get and install The GECK PowerUp mod

 

Once you have also installed FOSE, you start the GECK by starting the geckpu-fose.exe file instead of GECK.exe. You can right-click on the file itself and then choose Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut).

 

The only thing I found that further makes the GECK run longer without crashing is opening the GECKCustom.ini file and changing or adding this line in the [Audio] section: bEnableAudio=0

[WhiskeyriverAZ]

I found went to the Wiki,but I still get the same error. This time,I am sure it was the F3 GECK.

Are you running a Steam, GoG, or pirated version of the game?

[WhiskeyriverAZ]

Pirated? I dont think it is. I got my copy of the disc from my friend who has gone on to Witcher 3.

He loaded it into my PC,and poof. I w as playing.
