PowderdToastMan Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Before you ask, yes i use steam. I decided to start playing again after a year or so I have had and used the geck for both fallout 3, new vegas, creation kit, and construction set in the past. I unzipped the new vegas geck 1.4 into my new vegas folder, and it loads up, but when i check off an esp and hit ok, nothing happens. can anyone help me figure out whats wrong? I remember this happening before but dont know how to correct it. I searched the forums to no avail...

Xaranth Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Well blah. I was hoping it was a UAC issue - then I could be derisively condescending in my head. :smile: Check your folder permissions anyway and try running it as administrator anyway. If neither of those does anything, back up your ini files, then launch FNV through the default launcher once. This will rebuild registry entries and the like that the GECK may be seeking and not finding. If that still doesn't work, try loading just FalloutNV.esm and saving a new plugin. If that works, you may need to edit the bAllowMultipleMasterLoads setting in GeckPrefs.ini or Geck_Custom.ini - I don't remember which ini it's in, but change the value to 1. While you're at it, you may want to also change the bUseMultibounds value to 0.
PowderdToastMan Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 yea, i remember this happening before and it turned out i had the outdated geck from bethesdas site ... if i remember right, i just cant find an update
Xaranth Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/geck.php Or you can actually download it through Steam. Go to Library, click the dropdown 'All Games' and select 'Tools', then download GECK - New Vegas Edition
PowderdToastMan Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 OMG im an idiot I know why it wasnt loading... I was trying to load a esp that had a esm that it relied on without the esm in my data folder... Im a dumbass and thanks for your help kudos
SMB92 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Hey Xaranth, you don't have to actually launch the game through the launcher to rebuild the reg paths, you just have to open the launcher and close it :). Just a common misconception hahaha.
