Geck/NVEdit question

[Bashis]

i downloaded a mod i wanted to use but about half the in game items that come with it had their names changed to japanese, i opened up nvedit to change them back, but quite a few of them dont have the "full name" section to edit their names back to default, so i booted up geck and the name section is greyed out not allowing me to alter the name in their either. any clue on how to make the full name option appear in NVedit on npcs/armors that its not their for whatever reason?

Not sure for armor, but for npcs you want to uncheck "use base data" under ACBS - Configuration.

 

If you have Wrye Flash you can semi-automate the renaming.

 

1. Select only the mod you want vanilla names restored in.

2. Give all of the mod's dependancies the Names tag.

3. Make a bashed patch using only Import Names with only the masters selected.

4. Open the non-english mod and bashed patch in FNVedit. (backup the mod first)

5. Delete everything but the translated records from the bashed patch.

6. Delete the non-english version of those same records in the non-english mod.

7. Select the translated records in bashed patch and "copy as override" into the non-english mod.

 

This is a bit cumbersome and only works with records modified by the non-english mod, but is nice when you need to translate hundreds of renamed records.

are you talking in geck or nvedit, because in nvedit i dont see a "use base data" flag, and the npc's that i cant change names on only have the "female, auto-calc stats, no low level processing, and can be all races" flags in acbs

[cap88]

FNVedit. It's listed at the bottom under "Template Flags"

 

ACBS - Configuration

   Flags
   Fatigue
   Barter gold
   Level Mult
   Calc min
   Calc max
   Speed Multiplier
   Karma (Alignment)
   Disposition Base
   Temeplate Flags  <-------under here

oohh there it is, i was lookiing under acbs flags, not template flags

 

now ive got the grueling task of copy/pasting the entire catalog of nv npc names, i need an energy drink for this crap. the mod that requires this plugin better be as awsome as the screenshots portray.
