TMackT Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Is it possible to set the item base id? cuz when i edit item it seems to always change, and i have a bunch of bat files so I can easily give my companion item, but if the id change i have to edit it which is a pain, using M4 by Imperator3, WW2 M1 Helmets by Earind, JoOs MODERN Armory by JackoO, M1 Carbine by PickinTheBanjo, sorry im kinda new to GECK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladez Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying. The base ID doesn't change when you edit an item in the GECK, it is automatically assigned to an object upon creation and can't be changed. However, if you change the editor ID it will prompt you to create a duplicate of the item with a new base id. Is this what is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladez Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Oh, I think I know what's going on. Let me explain. The first two digits in the base id you see in game depends on where the mod is located in you load order. For example, if an item is added by a mod with the base id '00003959' and the mods index is 12, the base id in game will be '12003959'. Where the mod is in your load order (mod index) depends on the last time the file was edited. Newest files are loaded last. That's what Fallout Mod Manager, which I assume you're using, does when you order your mod list, it changes when the files were last edited. So when you make a change in your .esp file and save it, it will be moved to the bottom of your load order because it's the file with the most recent change. That means the first two digits in the base id ingame will have changed. So, when you're done editing and have saved your changes, simply move your mod back up to it's former position in your load order with the mod manager. Let me know if this helped, and disregard my first post. I've been awake all night so I'm easily confused ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
