FOSE Working with Steam


VintageRawr

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I recently bought Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition during the Steam Summer Sale, and I really enjoy playing the game through Steam, using the screenshot feature and being able to chat with someone well I play.

 

However, when you want to play with Fallout Script Extender, you have to launch it through the FOSE Launcher, which takes away the Steam community features. IK am trying to run iHud, aHud and Stimpak Counter, but when it's ran through a FOSE launched game, the stimpak counter is falling off the screen, and it's just confusing and horrible.

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to get FOSE to work with a Steam-launched game, or am I just asking too much?

 

[if you need any technical information, I'm running the game on a Dell XPS with Windows 7, with a screen resolution of 1280x720. The game has been completely patched, and I have all the DLCs (obviously)]

 

Thanks!

-Vintage

In Steam, open the Games menu and select "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library."

A window will appear and populate with a bunch of suggestions, but you want to click the BROWSE... button at the bottom.

Navigate to fose_loader.exe in your Fallout 3 folder and select it. Steam will probably think it's the GECK and display it as such in your Library.

Launch it from your Steam Library and you should get the overlay once the title screen appears.

Yeah I just bought FO3: GOTY on steam and I've been trying to install FOSE, but I'm having no luck. Any suggestions?

 

It took me a while to figure out how to get FOSE to work on my Fallout 3. D; When you get it out of the zip file, you want to make sure that it goes into here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 3 goty

Once it's in there, it will have an application called "fose loader". That's what you have to run the game through. I just stuck mine on the desktop, and obviously, you can run it through Steam.

If you aren't using something like Fallout Mod Manager, than you have to run the normal Fallout 3 launcher to get to the data files check list, then just exit it and load through the fose loader.

So the main thing is just to make sure it's going into the main Fallout 3 folder, and not the data or something [the mistake I originally made]. It should work than!

Here's something I just tried that worked out. I figured Steam simply looked for a starting exe file to load up the game. So, I simply renamed the Launcher to something other than "FalloutLauncher", then renamed the fose loader to "FalloutLauncher" instead. Steam will now start up the FOSE application instead of the Launcher!

This worked for me but after some nasty problems with a mod I had to verify the Games cache and that Broke the FOSE setup. now the game doesn't start through steam anymore I get a box that says "(Missing Executable)" Even when I rename the FOSE loader "FalloutLauncher". Is there any way I can fix this?
