Sort of...
there is a way around that...
the relvant script also contains the stuff for spawning in gravestones.
theoretically this could be split off into a seperate script allowing a greater number of settlers in the original script.

there are a number of other scripts that would have to be altered.

but theory is sound.

personal opinion is that 12 settlers is plenty for a beta especially one as complex as this.

When we get a later version of FOSE you'll be able to handle everything through arrays and loops anyway, so there won't be any limits.

Yep that has been noted .

at present the mod doesn't use FOSE.

this was a design decision by arcoolka, after much discussion (I am very pro FOSE, but arcoolkas argument was persuasive)

my understanding is that arrays and such like will not be added until the .exe etc is stable

i.e after all the patches/DLC have been released which is at least October 09

I would imagine that I would speak to arcoolka then and try to persuade again.

but ultimately it comes to this. if it is not fun for arcoolka it ain't gonna happen , something I wholeheartly agree with

Settlers guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjVeS5z5Dmw&feature=channel

I will remind you to persuade me, if youll forget, lol

I never forget...

Video "The Settlers Guide" added to the OP.

UGHH, I hate being a Console Gamer. It's not fair that my PC Can't handle Fallout....

Just theoretically, but It will be much easier to handle with them, If we will make them in your new way. They are just scripts Ref now, but once they will be persistent references, we are the winners, lol

so how do i start this? i havent gotten a quest.

Sepiroth A quest called "the settlers guide should start almost straight away (after some scripts have processed) iif this is not happening please post your brief comp specs and modlist.

Choze: Yeah but consoles get the big flat screen TV's

Is it possible to disable all spawn points within a radius of the first object? I am just concerned that I put a village right on top of a spawn point for a group of raiders.

Do you mean the vanillas spawn points? No, it is not possible in game, IMHO. But You can edit your favorit place via Geck.

Just wanted to say that this is a great mod.

But isn't the range for spawn points a bit limited? (I think it's 3000?)

Well ive tried the mod, and it is freaking awesome, but i keep having to deactivate it as every few ingame days, the workbench dissapears and i cant get it back, might be a bug or it might be an incompatability on my end ill do a bit more troubleshooting to see if i can figure it out, just thought id raise the flag on a possible bug

Just a note:
3/8 is a fraction.
The Enclave is a faction.

Some replies:

Rhoark: Damn where was that spelling mistake, I will hunt it down and destroy it

Fallen Paladin: modlist and specs will try and diagnose.

anandus thanks I am glad you like the mod, arcollka's worked damn hard on it and the rest of us seem to have got a perverse pleasue in creating him more work.
the spawn distance is presently set at 3000 as this is the beta, certain options were limited a bit to allow for easier testing etc.

How many should be enough for you?

Arragh! 20+30???

Sorry to advocate OBSE again, but... you can use http://fose.silverlock.org/fose_command_doc.html#GetFirstRef to get the references of all creatures in the cell, and disable any that are dead and in certain factions (e.g. the enclave, raider and animal factions).

Sounds like an expansive mod and I'll be sure to download it once I'm back home.

Thought I might help you with any typos, I'll send you a revised typo-free version of the OP.

50? lol

True. Although isn't it possible to run your PC through a Flat Screen TV?

If so i need to Upgrade my PC ASAP and get this Mod, It Really does look like alot of Fun!

This mod, along with your Life of Raider mod and the XFO series, are without a doubt my favorite mods. I don't mean to sound like a brown-noser but it was only when I was installing this mod that I saw the Life of Raider addon and realized you were one in the same. Thank you and your team for putting together mods that aren't just another weapon or armor addon (which seems to be what the vast majority of mods for fallout are).

As you could guess, I have the Paradise Falls/Raider government style running....but are you considering having soldiers or workers be able to wear raider or merc armor if you chose that route? At the moment I just feel like a grungy raiderish leader of regular settlers. Anyway, fantastic mod, so thank you!

Yep I am a convert, but no scripter... I guess arcoola will join the righteous at some point

a poll has been set up on the site asking this question.




All recieved thanks. will see if we recah thread 2



E-mail sent.



Don't tell the Console users that its the only thing that keeps them going




Glad you are enjoying the mod. I have some ideas for raiders which I will put to arcoolka after I get project 1 out of the way...

Whatever display someone is using though, in my opinion it's worth saving, building/buying a suitable pc and useing it for gaming just for the mods extra quests / missions to expand the game, especially this one!!!!
Though I do use a 32" tv as a main monitor for my pc, which is also linked up to a projector for 100" gaming goodness (and movies) :nod:

Good to see this is now on the official bethesda forums
