no karma

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 7:25 am

When i kill someone, give a bum some water or steal something I get no karma change, only a green frame on the top left where it tells you if you gained/lost karma. I have FWE. How do i fix this?

Unfortunatley that is a non-adjustable feature of FWE. The karma messages never bothered me to begin with so I really did'nt want them taken out, however not having them there hasn't bothered me enough to actually do something about it. I'd have to look at how exactly the messages are disabled to tell you how to re-enable them, or even if they can be re-enabled. I don't know of any mod made specifically to re-enable FWEs karma messages.

It looks like they removed the sound file from UIKarmaUp and UIKarmaDown, and if you add "Karma" to the filter on Game Settings in the GECK you can see they modified a variety of settings that affect karma. The ones I am guessing in charge of notifying the Player of karma loss or gain via message are the following:

  • sKarmaMajorGained
  • sKarmaMajorLost
  • sKarmaMinorGained
  • sKarmaMinorLost

One way I believe you can change them back is to make a plugin that attaches the modified flag to those sound files and game settings and load that plugin lower in your load order then the FO3 Wanderer's Edition - Main File.esp.

Another way is to just modify that FWE plugin directly.

If you use Darnified UI, you can put up a Karma meter on your screen that will show your Karma level and when you gain or lose karma.

I believe so, it just seems like they didn't want any karma messages or sounds. If you want I could try changing it back, although to be honest I'm not a very experienced modder so it might take me a while before I'm 100% sure it will work.

Nah it's okay as long as the karma system is still there. Thanks for offering though.

Ok then, no problem. I was a little worried I'd find someway to mess up something as simple that anyway so it might be for the better. :laugh:
