15gudasc Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hey guys! So I'm working on my mod, and I have some neat ideas, but for them to really acheieve that "wow" factor, I need the Geck to load more exterior cells than 1 at a time. You know how the New Vegas worldspace loads the entire landscape and all the imposters so you can always see things like the Strip when you're in an exterior area? That's what I need. If I can load the entire landscape I think I can work with what to do from there. I just can't find out how to do that! Also, I guess I can't figure out how to make the water in my mod actually apear. I've set the water height and I can even stand in it in the game and get all the radiation effects and stuff, it's just completely invisible. Any help you guys can give me will be appreciated with kudos! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimboss Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hi, Always great when more people dive into creating new stuff for NV! What you need to do is generate LOD for your new world space in GECK. That is a delicate procedure since there is a lot of work before you will even be able to fire of a LOD generation task in GECK ( For example unpack most texture.BSA files to .TGA format, set up a special folder for generated LOD and so on. There are some great modder resources that bring you to a 99% state on Nexus to begin with.) Water and water height in NV GECK and visible or not is a little tricky you need some textures extracted and pointed to in world space setup, also NV GECK differs a bit from FO3 GECK in what height or default heights that work or do not work. If you have much water like an Isle you have to create a height greater than default height around for your world (default = untouched = not used = not shown in game) and again generate LOD if it is some cell away to be even visible.If you made some height changes in your world that is beyond what the game can handle near water (God knows what that is since it seems to be random) it will disable visibility of water for that cell. There is as many rules/ideas how to create new world spaces like there are modders that does it. Please try to search for "world space creation" on official Bethesda site and here on Nexus and in general Google search. It will give you a picture of all the stuff that is involved to be successful. I hope this did not scare you of completely ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
