Jenova23 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Ok whenever I try to save anything in geck I get this error now. "Masterfile: unable to complete operation due to failure removing previous file.plugin DATA/(the mod) may be locked or read only.temp file DATA/(the mod.tes) contains saved data." For some reason also I have old mods that show up in geck but aren't actually in the folder, I don't use any tes files, I tried reinstalling G.E.C.K, updating G.E.C.K and I don't have anything running in the background either plz help.

prensa Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Jenova23 - Hello! That error means your mod could not be saved as normal because it is being used by something else. Make sure you do not have Fallout 3 running when you are saving in GECK, or have FOMM/NMM or FO3Edit open as all of those programs will prevent GECK saving over the old mod file. Also, depending on if you use Win7/Vista & what security settings you have, you may need to run GECK as administrator. "temp file DATA/(the mod.tes) contains saved data." Means that GECK has saved a temporary version of your mod under a different name, it will be in the Data folder named the same as your normal mod but with a .tes at the end instead of .esp. Simply changing the .tes to .esp will make that file useable & can replace the other version you were unable to modify. "For some reason also I have old mods that show up in geck but aren't actually in the folder, I don't use any tes files, I tried reinstalling G.E.C.K, updating G.E.C.K and I don't have anything running in the background either plz help. " Mods showing up in the GECK's Data list that are not in your Data folder may mean you have more than one Data folder & that GECK is looking at the wrong one. This could happen if you had originally installed Fallout 3 in a different folder then reinstalled it into another without properly uninstalling the original. For instance you may have installed Fallout from disc then installed from STEAM & have two Fallout 3 folders in different locations: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\ C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout 3 I'm pretty sure you can direct GECK to the Fallout 3 folder you want on installation. Hope this helps! Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
