McPinkerton Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 I have never actually made my own before but I always wanted to, Im a freshmen at school and my major in school right now is computer science and I really like to play fallout. Are there any good sources to learn from? I literally have no idea even to begin really.
DexesTTP Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 First step is to be curious. Poke around and see what tools are other people using, bookmark and see updates on some of the most important tools. Here is a really good place to gather informations, you can also check on the Nexus forums, or google some tools to find other discussion places for them (e.g. the F4SE subreddit). (Note : this is a valuable skill in CS too, I advise you to do the same for web technologies, big data, etc...) About the tools to mod, your best bet is to begin by getting comfortable with ba2extract (on f4se.silverlock.org) and fo4Edit (on Nexus) and you'll have a good start. You can also already familiarize yourself with the Skyrim CK if you have Skyrim, which will probably be very similar to the GECK. Finally, you'll need an idea of what mod to make. There is no official modding tutorial for Fallout 4 yet (I found one here, which is pretty extensive). Just, try around, poke things, worst case scenario you'll have CTDs at game launch so no biggies
