Uandwhosearmy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm having problems using the console commands. I cannot use any commands which require me to type prid followed by the relevant ref ID. I get confirmation after the prid command, it says something like "saved" after I have pressed Enter. But after that if I type "enable" or "moveto player" or "player.moveto" nothing happens and the response I get from the console is that the command "needs a reference". I also tried the commands standing with the object (a pack Brahmin) in plain view, and lo and behold it worked! But only when I put the refID after each and every command before pressing Enter. Strangely, the "player.moveto" followed by refID did not work. When I try the same routine for any character not in my field of view no command works. I'm trying to ressurect fallen traders in this manner, but even though I've followed the proper procedures listed at the Fallout 3 wiki nothing works! I would be grateful for any help.

Uandwhosearmy Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Solved the problem by editing the FALLOUT.ini file to increase the following value: "iConsoleTextXPos=" from "30" to "200". Just thought I'd put that here in case anyone else experiences the same problem. Mods, feel free to close this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akadai Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The way I've done resurrection is by typing the code in the console and actually selecting what I want resurrected with the mouse while in the console. Otherwise it'll usually say "needs a refrence" Back when I was first using the console, I wasn't even aware I could select things while in console mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
