GECK Tutorial #1 - changing projectiles

[bocajbee]

5fps?



[GLAORleader]

Is there a way to resize projectiles?

[metalbillyboy]

@GLAORleader i'm pretty sure there is, but it has been 2 and a half years since i last did this... just play around a little, i think there was one value that was by default one, but which could be increased... so 2 would be twice the size and so on

[firestand02]

press what to drop the weapon?

[NewnotesJR]

Hey, part of your screen there is cut off. How did you even pull up that first window? I assume it must have been file edit or view because I didn't see where your mouse clicked.

Thanks for the tutorial, but hey, you've got to expect that the people watching are completely new at GECK so showing your entire screen so that people can pause and see exactly where you're clicking would be very helpful.

thanks.

[metalbillyboy]

@NewnotesJR thank you for the constructive criticism (rare to find on youtube ^^)

1. start geck

2. click in the left upper corner on open file (or ctrl + o)

3. rest of the tutorial ^^

[XenoAlbedo]

can i make a sword that shoots?

[sup3rt0aster]

@XenoAlbedo yes ofc

[PrOhObOmOdZ]

do you got to have the fallout 3 game to install the G.E.C.K???

[metalbillyboy]

@PrOhObOmOdZ well you need to load the game files, in order to make mods. so yeah, you need the game

[FighterG8]

Hey I downloaded FOMM but it won't work! Any help please?

[carbonhealth]

cool :-)

[Dreifuffzig]

haha COCK megaton house :D

thank you so much ! I made a MineStrayer and a NukeSniper , available on Fallout3Nexus in some minutes

[UltimateKostasTV1]

thanks, i made a 10mm alien pistol with 190 damage , but it breaks after 5-10 shots. Anyone knows how to make the weapon unbreakable/break like a normal weapon?

[metalbillyboy]

@UltimateKostasTV1 you can just push the health of the weapon up (double click on the weapon, it should be on the screen that comes up)

[UltimateKostasTV1]

you have 1664 mini nukes, how?!?!?!

[SuperBadboy97]

[krussidulen1234]

[fretshredder55]

4:03 he said cock! haha i want this for pc (i have for 360) i got oblivion for it though, is there something like geck on oblivion

[metalbillyboy]

@fretshredder55 yes there is, just like there is one for morrowind... it's called The elder scrolls construction set. it's basically the same as the geck. it just get's more advanced with every game they bring out

[sonex1103]

nvm i got it just change 1st person model object to NONE

[sonex1103]

i meant only weapon textures

[metalbillyboy]

exactly the same steps... sorry mate :]

I mean of course you can download mods...

[sonex1103]

how i change textures?

[metalbillyboy]

you have to unpack some textures out of the textures.bsa, or create your own. then you can change it in geck :]

[gruntfire98]

I have GECK now!

And im downloading Part 1 of 70 for Fallout 3!

[ze9ix]

Thank u soo much

[MagicalChickenWings]

Thank you so much! I just made the Noisy Cricket from Men in Black (great movie). You're awesome :)

[dISTurbEd5552]

hey do u absolutly "HAVE" to have fomm for the geck?

[metalbillyboy]

no you don't, but it really makes the entire process much esasier :]

[dISTurbEd5552]

o...di just dont like using extra space but if it makes it easier ill do it!

[LaurenceC62]

what if i made a new weapon but wanted it found in multiple places, would it still work?

[metalbillyboy]

just drop the weapon in different places and save the file :]

[IamAsparagus]

@1spore1 Ha fucking 360 fail, get a decent pc superior to any console.

[the49erfan101]

if i try to download the fallout mod manager it says

unable to get write permissions for fallouts installation directory

[metalbillyboy]

install it onto your desktop and then copy it into your fallout3 game folder (wich is under program files I assume - under vista you don't have permission to just extract something there)

[SuperSONYdude]

every time i make a weapon and save it it doesnt show up in the fomm or in the data so i cant use it plz help me i realy want to make guns

[metalbillyboy]

make a systemsearch for you .esp files, sometime (i don't know why) geck saves them somewhere else. it could be that it just comes up with some shortcuts, in hhat case right click and open file location

[BuzZeration1]

it wont let me access the website becasue i typed in the wrong age

[metalbillyboy]

put your screen resolution up and make the weapon window smaller. :D

[ellomate100]

My projectile file in the GECK only has bloatfly dart in it, and when im not in the geck i can't even find the icon file, texture file, projectile file etc.

[metalbillyboy]

all that data is commpressed into .bsa libraries (there should be around 4 or 5 in you fallout3\data file).. you have to make sure that you load the fallout3.esm when you are in geck!!!!! just press ctrl-o and click on the file

[ellomate100]

Im not sure if i did something wrong, but what i mean is, when im in the geck modding a weapon i can choose what it shoots, but can't choose the casing that comes out of the gun, the model, inventory image, the pip-boy image, and the "has scope options". Please help, and i'm wondering if i reloaded fallout would i lose my saves, or are they saved in separate folders?

[metalbillyboy]

to choose the casing you have to change the projectile (described in this video).

in general you should know that fallout compresses it's meshes and textures etc. into so calles .bsa libraries, which you can find in the fallout3\data directory. in order to use a specific file ( let's say the scope.nif) you have to extract that single file from the library (you can do that with fomm). NOW you can select that model in geck. :D

if you still have questions pls reply :]

[ellomate100]

Ur rlly great for replying to everyones comments but i swear there are NO bsa libraries in my data file... I think they might of been save in a wrong place

[metalbillyboy]

hmmm and the game works? because i'm pretty sure that the installation was totally messed up :p.... IF the game works, maybe you should try a system search for the "Fallout - Textures.bsa" it has to be on your computer somewhere ^^

... or just reinstall the game ^^

[raptorxii]

nice tutorial.

however you can use the COC console command without loading a save first (ie directly from main menu). your char will have absolutely nothing when it loads but it is convenient for testing.

[metalbillyboy]

cool, i didn't know that... thx for the tip :]

[1spore1]

cant i get the geck for xbox 360?

[metalbillyboy]

nope, it's a pc programm :]

[RainRepper]

SOMEONE HELP!!!!!! i cant find my file. i searched for it but its not anywhere PLZ HELP!!!!

[leewalton008]

try reinstalling your game cos ur file may of been moved somewhere or been lost so thats the best way to find your file hope this helps.

[baksigferied]

ok i saw how when you changed the wep id and you had to click ok to change the wep id and open it and put it in the game

[metalbillyboy]

so what is your question :p???

[baksigferied]

i cant move down t oclick ok

[metalbillyboy]

click ok where? be a little more specific so that i can help you better :]

[ThatsWatYouThink]

i downloaded it and now i cant find the shortcut to use it or link

[metalbillyboy]

go to your browser, open the download list and open the file from there with winrar :]

[narutosama9]

and how exactly do you get the item file sinto ur geck? i wanted to edit the winterized combat armor texture, but i have no idea how to get it in there... :L

[metalbillyboy]

u open geck and load the fallout3.esm + the mod in active mode... that's all

[narutosama9]

i found it. :o lol sorry, i always ask before i actually try to find it. bad habit

[metalbillyboy]

read the comments below... same case i guess

[narutosama9]

once again, ,me just being very impatient. :L i got it working yesterday, really sorry for the trouble

[metalbillyboy]

no problem :D... if you have any more questions, feel free to ask

[PHYR0MAN]

how do u move better when i walk in the camera it moves alot in one push of a button

[metalbillyboy]

ok hold space bar and move the mouse for slow movement. hold shift to rotate. press a to lighten everything up. use mousewheel to zoom and press f to drop marked object down. that's basically all you have to know :]

Have fun modding :D

[TehL33tPenguin]

I made a weapon and did it like you did but it isnt on the fomm list and doenst work when i play it or in the data folder but when i load G.E.C.K its in data thing that you use to load the Fallout3.esm PLEASE HELP!

[anusfessepoile]

same probleme here, there is no topic about that on the geck forum or faq

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalbillyboy]

ok the problem is that geck sometimes doesn't save ur .esp files into the data folder. make a system search for ur mod.

it should come up with a shortcut... right click,. go to properties and copy the target location, open explorer and paste the path. should take you to ur mods. copy paste the mods into ur fallout3\data then

[anusfessepoile]

it says the target is invalid or incorrect, i can't find the file anywere, i think is not created ... i must be doing something wrong while saving ... can't figure out what it is

[metalbillyboy]

hmm can you post the target? i would like to see it... but you are not the only one, sometimes it just does that, idk why

[TehL33tPenguin]

load geck as adminastarator thats how i fixed it

[metalbillyboy]

hmm that's a great idea... thx tehl33tpenguin, i will suggest that to the next person who asks me :)

[FPSNightHawkX]

thx for showing us in da game! all the other tutorials dont show us in the game.

[metalbillyboy]

you are welcome :]

[WTFGamingUSA]

[Grifter207]

[RyanDeSalvo]

megatonnnnnnnnnn playaaaaaaaaaahuuseeeeeeeeeeee­;) great tysm u helped alotttttttttttttttttttttt very good tutorial in detail

[metalbillyboy]

[Logitech1604]

oh my goooodnessss its you first geck Oo :)

[metalbillyboy]

[MrNuke101]

you sound like mr makey off south park lol

[R0BB13xR3B3L]

haha yeah i just got it after i posted that lmao.

[R0BB13xR3B3L]

uhm when i download it theres nothing in my geck anyone know what my problem is? lol

[metalbillyboy]

haha just c.ickk on file, open and select the fallot3.esm and clik on open.

[L4Dfan]

Protectile, God i love when you say that. xD Heh, Nice video i don't have it for PC i got it xbox 360, cause my laptop's video card fails. :S

[r3kr]

great tut !!!

PS: You sound extremely excited to be here.

[metalbillyboy]

ok select missile type at the projectile, and add the megaton nuke as destruction data (i would recommend to make it smaller, by customising the range in explosions, so the effect doesn't look that crappy)

[skateman37]

i like ur accent (not to be creepy or anything)

[metalbillyboy]

^^ thx, I'm german living in california right now... that's what comes out :p

[andyllamanipl]

theres nothing in the fomm....

[Baseballboi1511]

do u use vista?

[metalbillyboy]

yes i do, but it works with xp as well

[Baseballboi1511]

did u make a custom installation?

[metalbillyboy]

just normal torrent install... i have my data folder and everthing and fomm worked for me too

[Baseballboi1511]

thts prob y it worked but i found out how to get mine to work even without custom installation

[Baseballboi1511]

7. Find your mods. Right Click on it and press cut.

8. Now go to your fallout/data folder and right click then paste. You are done congrats boot up ur game, select the mod and have fun.

[Baseballboi1511]

I change my Projectile and all. I save it as a .esp and then validate it. i put it into my data file from my search menu when you open up your start menu and then i look in the data but its not there... why is tht

[metalbillyboy]

do a windows search for your .esp file. if you found it, copy it and paste it into your fallout3\data.... sometimes it just creates a shortcut

[Baseballboi1511]

yes thats what happened. i looked into and all it did was create a shortcut.... no file at all why?

[metalbillyboy]

i don't know.... sometimes it does that, several people asked me for help when they had the same problem....

maybe you should try to rightclick on the shortcut and then go to the location it shows (target) then copy the file and put it into the fallout3\data

[Baseballboi1511]

no tht doesnt work. it doesnt even create the mod in the first place :(

[Baseballboi1511]

OK it took some testing but i finally figured it out.....For all of those who have this problem here is how to solve it

1. Open up geck and go to File

2. Go to Export

3. From there click Select/Clear Export Filter File.

4. A menu should open up that is like the data file in The fallout folder just with ur mods.

5.Find your mods....... Delete them, YES delete them. This is the most important part right here.

6. Go to your recycle bin. This is where you mods were deleted to.

[Halo4vr777]

I got FOMM to work but the mod wont show up it also doesnt show up in the Data folder were i saved it, searching my PC turns up the mod in the Data folder but as a shortcut... what do I do?

[metalbillyboy]

try right click on the shortcut... it shoud give you the target (location of file it's linked to)

[Halo4vr777]

Ok this is the target of the shortcut-

Shortcut > Artifact Weapons.esp

Target > "C:\Users\Firehawk7000\AppData­\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data\Artifact Weapons.esp"

When I try to access it the 1st time it does nothing for a bit and then says it cannot read it (windows doesnt recognize the file no surprise there) the 2nd time it goes to a web page but cannon display it what the heck is going on I want to get the weapons I put in Craterside supply and test em

[metalbillyboy]

ok did you open a existing mod and put the weapons somewhere? ... if you have a downloaded mod in your data folder, try to open it in geck as an activve file. each change you do now, will be saved over the existing file.....

it could also be that your geck is broken... you might wanna download it from different page and install it again

[Halo4vr777]

Its my own mod so yeah the GECK might be broken though i think i remember somewhere it saying you need to patch the GECK before you can do anthing in it but i was like screw it i just tried patching Fallout 3 manually and it rejected the patch in every folder I put it in as invaild location or something though I Downloaded the GECK off Bethesda's own site so I dont think it could be bad unless it needs patching at any rate if the GECK is bad then I have ~10 Weapons and 1 armor+helm to remake :(

[metalbillyboy]

i'm sorry about that. sometimes it just has some problems i can't explain. everything worked perfectly with mine.

maybe a complete reinstall and total patching up could work but that's a lot of workk :$

[Airsofting14]

i need help so badly. i got a FOMM and i have the GECK. i did all that you said in the video. i dropped my weap were i wanted it to be i made my wep blah blah blah. but when i saved it, it was not in my FOMM. why is that? message me plz i am really pissed!

[metalbillyboy]

ok make ABSOLUTELY SURE, that you save your .esp file in your fallout3\data folder. and double check whether it's really there. you should also try using the fallout3 launcher, or installing fomm again (i installed it in the main fallout3 folder and it worked fine)

[Airsofting14]

its not working! i saved my project in my data folder. my FOMM is in my fallout folder. i tried saving it into my FOMM but it said "invalid directory". i saved it to my data and its sais its a shortcut. if thats the prob plz tell me how to make it not a shortcut.

[metalbillyboy]

i think i got it.... the fomm.exe MUST BE in fallout3 folder and NOT in fallout3\fomm ... makes sure you installed fomm in there with NO subfolders

[TenshiOppai]

i kinda got the same problem but when i save it, it actually doesn't make a file.

can you help me with that?

[metalbillyboy]

ok i get that problem a lot.

in some cases geck saves the files somewhere weird!!! make a system search for ur mod... it should come up with some shortcuts.... right click on shorcut and go to file location... u found ur mod :D

[TenshiOppai]

yea i found it somewhere in my appdata map

[SenHai]

laggy

[Buchholz101]

I downloaded the setup for GECK but whenever I open it all it does is run the game.

[metalbillyboy]

download it again and make sure you really run THAT file. best start the setup in the download list.

[Buchholz101]

Thx man!

[viper5689]

What accent is that? O-o

Just curious, you say the j in projectile silently.

Good job btw, appreciated.

[metalbillyboy]

i'm german :p

[re6ter]

what did you use to film this?

[metalbillyboy]

carmina studios

[metalbillyboy]

srry my bad, i used camtasia studio

[xarriluseth]

fun to do but i wanna make a custom model. not just altering a weapons' projectile but a completly new one.

[metalbillyboy]

the problem is that u need ur model. which i currently cant do. but u can just right click in the weapon list and create a new one.

[xarriluseth]

so i'll need a modelling program make a model, upload that and then input the values myself?

[metalbillyboy]

yes unless u want to use a already existing model. the easiest way is still to just change the values and projectile, and turn it into a totally new weapon

[xarriluseth]

i know but i like a challenge and i never tried out 3-d artwork yet so making something that actually functions in a game is a new challenge for me

[Garchomp360]

thanks for the tutorial.

i made a laser pistol that shoots exploding plasma shots :D

[breakinmedia]

do i have to click something to move around the view with the mouse. im only able to move around with the arrow keys and it jumps off screen when i do.

[breakinmedia]

thats with the geck in the megatown house im mean

[breakinmedia]

never mind figured it out. anyone else new to geck its space + mouse to move and shift + mouse for camera rotation

[metalbillyboy]

u have to press and hold space to move around and press shift to rotate

[turfcoal]

4:02 lol

[sk8ergun234]

lol u keep sayin "proyectile"

[metalbillyboy]

hey it's not my mothertoung ^^

don't judge me =)

[robandturt]

when ever i try to open the fallout 3 file thing it says not responding why?

[robandturt]

this happend to me i spent days fixing it go to the bethesda website my mom fixed soo i dont know how to XD

[robandturt]

i downloaded it but i cant find the application....

[Gonamez]

verry good thanks!

[hitchhikers4LIFE]

Thnx, but what i mean is i save my homemade geck mod to the data thing but it seems like it doesnt even save.

[metalbillyboy]

look manually into ur data folder, whether the files are there. Then try using fomm and make sure ur mods are in same location as the fallout3.esm file.

[hitchhikers4LIFE]

I save my mod to fallout3/data but when i go to the data file menu its not there!?! please help me....

[metalbillyboy]

1. make sure mods are EXTRAXTED (unzipped)

2. try the fallout3 mod manager (fomm) link in infos

[gaget3hsage]

great tutorial.

I made a powerfist that melts my enemies and does 9000 damage. :D

[CappsGrad]

Nice vid very helpful. Also didnt no there was a shortcut to the mod manager xD

Hey, I downloaded the G.E.C.K. and I tried to open the program but... it like, won't let me. It won't run at all for some reason, like it says it stops working each time. I
