A few questions

[zanulix]

So. I'd like to know if(/how) i can access the item lists? I mean where I could edit the pipboy pictures, names and effects of different items.

Also, where can I edit the pictures of items as they're shown in the Pipboy? Thanks.

I'd also like to know this. I'm happy to read and learn how to mod this game with or without a CS, but have no idea where to start. I'd like to begin - as the TC would - by editing a few weights and values (RADs for food, etc.) for some items... just something I imagine isn't TOO hard to begin with.

 

So, if a veteran Oblivion modder or someone who's already succeeded in modding F3 so far could point in the right direction, I'd also appreciate it.

 

I'm assuming I might start with the FOMM... I used it to open up an ESP from another mod, but wasn't sure what the various hex and data values meant/were. Is there somewhere I can read up on what these values mean and what I would change/add for my own modifications?

Unpack the .BSA's with the wonderfully designed FO3Archive (get it @ : http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34 )

 

Extract the textures/sound/mesh

 

Get a .dds plugin for Photoshop and the new version of nifskope.

 

You're ready to roll. GL&HF

Many thanks for the help! I downloaded the unpacker and nifskope (already had the nvidia plugins) and have been exploring the graphics and sounds from F3 tonight.

 

One last big question, though... where would I find/edit the "stats" for items and weapons (or even NPCs)? For example, if I wanted to make the 10mm Pistol do more damage, Sugar Bombs heal more hit points, or a battery weigh less?
