Making a master file an "active plugin" through the GECK

[ChancellorKremlin]

OK, I've had this problem before, but seeing as it was many many months ago that I had it sorted, I've forgotten the solution to what I assume is this simple problem.

 

Simply told, I've reinstalled Steam, and so I've had to reinstall the GECK. Now, it won't allow me to make a master file into an "active plugin" and it basically crashes (freezes) whenever I try and run it. I've downloaded the GECK PU 1.4, I have the latest versions of NVSE and it still won't work, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

 

I'm launching it through the nvse_loader shortcut with the -editor bit at the end of the target, but its almost as if its just running without regard to NVSE.

 

Please advise

Have you added the following to your geckcustom.ini?

bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1

You can't load any esm except FalloutNV.esm unless the value of this is 1.

[ChancellorKremlin]

I hadn't, but upon checking it it seems its already set to 1.

The latest version of the GECK PowerUp allows direct editing of master files, I believe. I think it's version 1.8 or something.

[ChancellorKremlin]

Do you have a link? Ever since I've reinstalled steam I've lost my original mods and plugins and I may have downloaded it again from an out of date website. I was under the impression v.1.4 was the latest haha!

[zippy57]

Link? Nope. But I do have the file itself.

[ChancellorKremlin]

Hmmn. seem to be having the same problem - not allowing me to alter any other files to active plugins. I must have done something wrong here.

[zippy57]

Um... Not sure what to say. It works fine for me, all I have to do is select a master file and click the Make Active button.

[ChancellorKremlin]

Huh, strange. It won't let me do it, but the plugin loads just fine. Weird.

A) get the latest version from nexus: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/download/108867

 

Check nvse_editor.log to confirm it was loaded properly.
