Can't select notes or holotapes in GECK.

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 2:19 pm

Lately, I've come across this problem in the GECK. I can create notes or holotapes without any problems, but when it comes to add them in a cell it won't appear in the rendering list. The same problem would also affect vanilla notes as well. I've tried to re-install the GECK and everything, but it didn't solve my problem. This situation is getting a bit annoying. I've assumed that it was a bug caused by the latest GECK update, but no one seems to have reported such a problem so far. I would think that it has something to do with the preferences INI files and if it's the case, I'd like to know how to fix that. Can somebody help me?

do they show up in the cell view window after you drop them into the render window? if so, have you tried selecting them there?

p.s.: sometimes it also helps to not select stuff by clicking but by dragging a selection box around it

I think I didn't explain myself correctly, so I'd post a screenshot that should show my problem.

See, the notes are in the object window, but I can select them in the "search and replace" list. Why?

what are you trying to do, exactly ?

I don't think it's a bug or something related to .ini files but why do you need the search and replace function to add a note to the world ? If it is what you want to do, then you can't, no matter how hard you try, that's life.
When you have created the note or holotape just drag it from the object window to the cell in the render window and it will appear .

Well, that's always how I've worked with the GECK. I didn't know we could simply drag and drop stuff. Thanks to you, I know how to use the GECK better.
