This little tray icon program will allow you to quickly start Fallout 3, Fallout 3 with FOSE, G.E.C.K, G.E.C.K with FOSE, the Fallout 3 Launcher and Fallout Mod Manager. As a modder I found this very useful as G.E.C.K crashes alot and mods always need testing & re-testing!

While Fallout 3 Starter is running pressing Shift+Alt+K will close Fallout 3, very usefull if Fallout 3 happens to freeze while in full screen mode, no more playing "guess where the button is in the black!" or resetting your computer.
Note: the hotkey combo will only work if Fallout 3 doesn't have focus so if Fallout 3 freezes and pressing the hotkey combo doesn't work press Ctrl+Alt+Delete then press the hotkey combo again.
Note: if you want to disable the hotkey combo simply create a shortcut to FO3Starter.exe and place -DisableFO3HotKey on the end, you can check the status of the hotkey in About.


Simply place FO3Starter.exe into your Fallout 3 folder and you're ready to use it!

Will this allow me to access maps I've made and start right into them..I havent been able to test anything since I cant access the console no matter what I do.

Quarn: You can also try Launchy but this is a awesome little tool

Nope, this is just quicker access to programs... what you could do is make a peice of armor that moves you to your cell using a OnEquip script.

*Bump* New version up with some nice features, thought there would be more interest Ah well guess most modders are too busy modding!

Quarn you made it to FO3, yay. Looking forward to what else ya bring

Wow, that Shift+Alt+K feature alone gets my download, it is a massive pain in the ass to guess if I'm blindly rebooting my computer or opening up fifteen copies of the command line.

Uberkudos!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (Yup, that's three thumbs up, Mutations rule!)

Same here, great little tool! :goodjob:

Great work. Now to find that Shirt-button.

Is the file uploaded anywhere? The file doesn't seem to exist at FO3Nexus anymore...

Yeah, can't find it either which is a shame, and the pic is gone. Re-upload please Quarn?

Was this previously known as "LittleBoy?"

the SHIFT+ALT+K alone is worth it.

now if only someone would make a small program with that key combo for Oblivion

What a minute.......Something smells like......*sniff*

Is this a necro thread?

This became Little Boy, thread is http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=930851, moderators please close this old thread.
