Getting the G.E.C.K. for FONV : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:52 am

So I just beat the game and I'm already getting ideas for mods, but I don't know how to get the GECK to work; is there a setup file that can be downloaded for it? All I can find is the .zip and it doesn't install, just adds the GECK itself. If I try to run the GECK that way it says it can't find the "libvorisfile.dll" and then crashes...any help please? I'll give you a cookie...

Drop all the files from the .Zip into your fallout new vegas folder which lives in steam\steamApps\common\fallout new new vegas.

create a destop shortcut and, launch. the Zip doesn't contain an installer it's just the app.

have fun

How about another newbie question:

under the object tree in Audio>Sound
I can double click on one of those sounds and I get a window
with, among other things, a Play button. Clicking it, at least for
me, does nothing.

Is there something special I need to do to play sounds inside the
GECK ?
All obvious stuff I've checked, as I can play the music files
in media player, (and hear it)

just did a little check for myself. some sounds do play other don't. the ones that start with amb, emt, foot don't seem to play but the ones that start with DRS, FX, Game do. I haven't gone through the entire list but some will play.

Cool, thanks! I thought it needed to be redirected but I wasn't sure where.

Thanks for confirming this, just so long as it's considered "normal" behavior.

It does seem that they left a lot of the sounds from FO3 in but, many of them aren't used yet. could be fun. :celebration:

Wait, wait...now, when I try to load cells, a LOT of things don't appear. It seems like only certain things work. This is messed up...any ideas?

@Zatone13
Please use the search function on this forum. The same question was answered several times now. The Roomboundmarkers & Portalmarkers are the troublemakers.

This is a known bug, glitch it has to do with the room bounds and portals. you'll need to go to view\show hide, check the bounds and portals box. Move them out of the way then hit F5 to refresh the render window to see whats behind them.

I hope this gets patched soon.
