Exterior Cells - COC and Renaming

Post » Tue Jun 19, 2012 8:01 am

I'm working on an exterior Wilderness cell and I have a coulple of questions; first of, is there a way to rename an existing cell? Also, how do you actually get to the cell from the main menu console?

Thanks,
Amund

Left click the name in the Cell View until you get the cursor and just write over it. That's all there is to it. For interior cells, there's actually an "Interior Data" tab that comes up when you select to edit a cell, but exterior cells don't seem to give you that option.

To use the coc marker, call up the "console" with the tilda key ~ on the upper left corner of the keyboard then type coc the cell's name (as you see it in the cell view list), hit return and you should teleport right there. Be sure to check out the wiki!

Thanks! I was clicking like mad with the mouse before I made this post, but nothing happened. Turned out I had to just click once in a controlled fashion and wait and it worked!
Tried to edit the cell indeed, and the option to change the editor ID is not there as you point out.

The thing about COC that confused me was the lack of a unique editor ID to COC to.

Sorted now, thanks again for the quick reply.
