So, if you decide you don't like a cell name you picked (cause you picked a "unique" name not realizing it would appear on the door to your new cavern), can you rename it, or do you have to start over from scratch?

Spent several hours last night building the beginnings of a cavern and just realized there seems to be no way to rename "Turija_secret_cave_01" to something that looks better on a cavern door but don't want to start from scratch if it can be avoided.

Absolutely you can. In the cell view window, just click twice (not double click) on the cell name you want to change.

Thanks so much! That worked perfectly. Whew! I had spent some time trying to figure out how to do this and it turned out to be a simple solution that I would not have figured out on my own.

Just out of curiosity OP, what cell did you change?

It was a new cell I created yesterday for a new cavern I am creating. I gave it an editor id type name with underscores, not realizing that the name would appear on the door in game. So I had to change it.

So, now, instead of the player seeing "Turija_secret_cave_01" on the door, they see "Dark Fissure." I may rename it again before I am done but now at least the door has a normal name. It looked really weird to see "Turija_secret_cave_01" on the door to a secret cavern.

Ok, gotcha.


*Edit* Addendum: Yes that would be weird for a player to see, lol. I like "Dark Fissure" a lot better!

You can also press F2 on a highlighted cell to rename it.


(Shift + F2 on some newer computers, if the default F2 button is now a Function)

Ir is really a pity the .hlp file format is not supported on recent Windows versions, the original CS help had most shortcut keys covered IIRC, Anyway, e.g. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:Keyboard_Shortcuts should have a lot of that info available
