Functions for reading / writing Fallout Plug-ins

Post » Sun May 08, 2011 5:33 pm

Good evening,

Does anyone know of available code/functions on the net for reading and writing Fallout plug-ins? It could be in C++ or any other language. I know several modders have successfully done this (such as ElminsterEU with Fo3Edit), but I'm looking for samples of code I could use as an example for writing a program that reads-in the ESP's records, modifies some things, and writes them back out again.

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated! :)

Cheers,

Miax

You've got several options here - Wrye Bash, if you're fine with python. TESSnip - C#. CBash - C++. All these tools come bundled with their source. I suggest that you start off with TESSnip - It's quite easy to make sense of and should do for most simple operations like reading and writing records.

Thanks much shadeMe! :)

I'll take your advice and start with TESSnip.
