An initial version of FNVEdit is now available at http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34703.

This is still a very early version and highly experimental. If you don't know what FNVEdit is, you probably shouldn't be using it right now.

Awsum. Now I'll just have to wait for FNV to be released.

Nice work on getting this out so quickly!

Only 15 minutes after the first nvde mod.

In case anyone has already downloaded 3.0.5, there was a dependency on FastMM_FullDebugmode.dll which most people will not have. I've uploaded 3.0.6 which should no longer have this dependency.

Could someone please test 3.0.6 and let me know if it's working? (I'm about to go to bed and would like to make sure that the current version is working before I'm gone...)

Can't test it with NV in the moment (poor European which still waits for delivery of his CD) but it opened up fine in my FO3 directory after I renamed it to FO3Edit. Maybe it helps.

Don't wonder while waiting for the game I am in the mood to experiment a bit .

Yes. Thanks for testing. If that works then it should work in FNVEdit mode too.

The edit entry field for FaceGen hex strings is still not long enough to paste the full string into. It seems that the alt method I happened upon (enter directly into the field, instead of a dialog box) is unavailable (or I can't figure it out anymore).
If FONV attempts to load this incomplete FaceGen hex string, the game will crash.

Here is a full FaceGen face geometry string (the first one, symmetrical face geometry). Spoiler tags since they're super-long.


Here is all that the FNVEdit will enter.


As you can see, the second is incomplete, not even half of it. I cannot paste the omitted parts onto the end, the field is just not long enough. It's not even long enough for the Asymmetric geometry line, which is shorter than the symmetric geometry and texture lines.

EDIT: It seems the message about double-clicking on fields got considered (concerning FormList accidents), but the fact that the FaceGen hex code fields are too short did not. I can double-click to alter FaceGen strings in FO3Edit (older version) but I cannot in FNVEdit. The double-click on the field was long enough to enter FaceGen strings. Fixing one but not the other essentially makes it impossible to manipulate FaceGen data in FNVEdit.

Hella this!

Thanks as always Elminster for the quick and great work.

Seems to be working well so far, still playing around with it all.

Thanks much. The new GECK still crashes and corrupts files when editing name and description, so I used it already. Good work.

Huzzah! Thank you, Elminster.

Also, WOW, that was fast! O_O

Now we're the ones behind.

He Ninja'd us!

And how! I don't even have the game just yet. *eagerly awaits a friend getting off work* I'm starting to wonder if getting his 10% discount will have been worth the wait...

Utilities such as this are far more important than some tacky (oh-looky-I-made-the-very-first-one-I'm-so-awesome) nvde mod.

Even though I've yet to receive my copy of FO:NV (anyday now) this is the first "mod" I have downloaded

I have a feeling that the Vegas nvde mods are going to be far worse than what we endured with Fallout 3

I am grateful that Nexus puts up a wall between it and the rest of the content.

I've uploaded Version 3.0.7 at http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34703.

What's new?

- updated many of the record definitions to match NV changes

Wow. That was fast. Thanks, EU.

Downloaded and ready for installation when I get home tonight.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is a FNVEdit bug or not, but if you copy a weapon that is moddable into an override file when you actually apply the mod it does not change the stats. For example I copied the varmint rifle into the override file and simply changed the shell casing, after I apply the expanded magazine mod the rifle still hold only 5 bullets instead of 8, after i deactivate the override file it correctly recognizes that the extended mag. mod is installed in the rifle.

Quite possible. As stated in the initial post, this is currently a highly experimental version.

Can you attempt creating the same mod using GECK and let me know if works?

If yes, could you please provide me with the .esp's (the one from GECK and the one from FNVEdit) which are supposed to be identical, but behave differently?

Sending you a PM with the link. But it looks like some of the "VATS unknown" is used to store the info for the mod effects.

The problem is that the DNAM field has gotten longer with some additional fields which FNVEdit currently doesn't recognize and cuts off. I'll fix that (one of) the next release(s) of FNVEdit.

The initial release was simply based on a quick reverse engineer of the .esm file without the benefit of knowing what fields actually exist (as it was done before GECK was released). I'm now in the process of going over the record definitions in detail using the FO3 and FNV GECKs side by side to find out any new/changed fields for any record type and updating my record definitions. 3.0.7 already contains many improvements, but I haven't gotten to weapons yet (going through the record types in the same order as they are displayed in the treeview in FNVEdit, 3.0.7 is up to "encounter zone").

Not sure if this is meant to be renamed as TES4Edit.exe and used on Oblivion, but doing so has lost the protection against altering Oblivion.esm. I was just able to change a formID in it, and it offered to save that.

*Edit will change the NOID in the main file's header if a Form is injected into it. You can safely choose to not save said change. I'm pretty sure it's always been that way.

Also, I've been using the new builds with Oblivion and they've worked very well so far.
