Form IDs with XX

[Reddmann]

Hi got a quick question for anyone that knows the answer, Ok here's the question, if someone says the code id/Form ID is xx000adf then how the hell do you find the first two digits ???. I have tried a few different couple numbers and so far zip. So if any folks out there has the answer, many thx and much appreciated. Been trying to figure this out for awhile now and I'm tired of being lost/clueless about it.

 

Please no trolls or unintelligent people welcome here. Also keep your smartass comments to yourself that ain't needed here either. Just need a quick answer will do and thx.

In the plugin list there should be a 2 digit ID next to each ESM/ESP ie falloutNV.esm is 00 it is that.

If using NVSE, you can also call 'GetModIndex "modname.esX"' from the console. Where X is p or m.

Yeah I tried 00 and FF and it still didn't work at all. Then I tried oo and then I did different numbers like 010,012,013,014,016,02 (also many others) and 100 % nothing. Did not work no matter what. I didn't matter if I used numbers or letters. All I kept getting was that silly little error message that you get when you hit the wrong letter or number by mistake. Never could figure out how to use the help commands, it's suposssed be be something like Help "code id/form id" then hit enter ( at that point if it exists it usully gives a code that might match it or exact match), but, that don't work either. Might not exist on this game, but, it existed in skyrim. Been working on this for a week now and can't get it to work. Crazy thing is the author of the mod put, here is the code id/form id xx000adf and that's all you need. It also seems like once folks make mods the authors never return once in a while to check if someone left a comment (even if the mod is old). To bad there ain't a video or a mod that can figure that crap out for folks. Or show folks how to get the stupid code. Hey there's a ideal for some crazy modder out there, hahaha. Hell if I could figure out that mod making crap I'd do stuff myself, but, damm between weed and drinking ain't got much of a brain for it, LOL. Well thx fellas for the help anyways, much appreciated and there's got to be a answer out there.

I can't promise this is the answer, but if it's like Skyrim then XX is the mods position in the load order. For example, in my load order Dead Money is the 6th mod/dlc in the list (the main FalloutNV.esm is always the first). Since mod numbering starts with 00, then Dead Money would be number 05. Therefore, using 'Sierra Madre Armor, Reinforced' as an example, it's FormID is xx0109f3. In my case I would replace XX with 05 (that's zero-five, of course).

 

Again, I can't promise this is the answer, but that's how it works in another Bethesda game, Skyrim. Good luck!

 

P.S. According to the Wiki I am correct. FormID description on the wiki

I got it, the code is xx000adf to start

the authors mod is 24 on my list

so the number I type is 24000adf hit enter

and it should work.

 

I had to type it that way, sorry, I got it and I'm hoping that I got it right. This stuff is way to confusing. Hell I'll have to give it a try (fingers crossed). If it don't work I'm just going to ball up into a fetal position and start crying, LOL. Just kidding, ROFL, Now tell me if i got it right and then I'm off to type it in and see if it works.

 

OK now I do know there is a help command to find the number, like in skyrim you hit ~ (tilde) then type ( exp= help"book" ) hit enter and what it will do is list every books name with id, then all you gotta do is look in the list to find the right id. Ok Now this is not skyrim, so what is the help command in fallout nv ????. Please type it so that way I can see how you did it ( I do mean step by step ). I get confused fast on this kind of stuff, damm whiskey and weed, lol. Then I'll hop in game and try it out to see if it works. Someone told me it takes to long to do it that way ,but, i don't care. Knowing that command helps out so much especially when you got a lot of mods. So thanks very very much to all you fellas for the help very much appreciated. Beleive me it made my day : ) . So if you know the command and/or how to type it please do so because I do know it exists and you have to be accurate or it don't work.

There is no help command in FNV, that's new to Skyrim.

 

The xx represents the Load Order Index of the mod, and is a one byte uINT represented in hexadecimal.

 

If your mod is number twenty-four in your Load Order, than its Load Order Index is actually 18. So the four-byte FormID would be 18000ADF

 

FOMM will tell you in your load order what the mod's load order index is.

 

BTW, xx000ADF is what's called the 'Load Order Adjusted FormID', or sometimes the LOA FormID.

 

Edit: Also, as I said earlier, if you're using NVSE, you can use the console command 'GetModIndex "pluginname.esX"' to get it in game.

Oh ok very thx for the info and very much appreciated. It don't exist for FNV got it. Looks like either someone gotta make a mod for it or a file extension plugin. Just because I need to use it, it don't exist, figures, ROFL LOL. Bad Redd for trying to make it easy for yourself, shame (gets whipped by newspaper and sent to the corner) LOL. If only I had a brain, lol. I'm guessing eventually I'll figure out the right numbers (hopefully). Well thx again for the help : ) .
