How do you install nvse?

[⎛⎝ Necro Nexus ⎠⎞]

So i was about to install nvse for 'Project nevada'.

There said only 2 steps: copy the files into Fallout new vegas, and lauch the game via nvse laucher.

However, once i actually download the file, i found there was a folder name 'src' or whatever. Inside that, there were more folders (nvse_plugin, common, etc). The instruction didn't metioned that there would be multiple folders (just files). And i also could find that nsce lancher exe thingy.

Can someone specifically tell me how to install nvse?

Edit: Ok, now i've got a new problem. Whenever i run 'nvse_loader', I recieve an error message saying the program is not compatible with my windows version(sry for inaccurate translation it was Korean). Anyone happens to know how to solve this? Also, how do you enable Steam community option?

New Vegas Script Extender v4.1 beta 01
by Ian Patterson, Stephen Abel and Paul Connelly
(ianpatt, behippo and scruggsywuggsy the ferret)

The New Vegas Script Extender, or NVSE for short, is a modder's resource that expands the scripting capabilities of Fallout: NV. It does so without modifying the executable files on disk, so there are no permanent side effects.

Contributions from: Timeslip, Elminster EU

Compatibility:

NVSE will support the latest version of Fallout available on Steam, and _only_ this version (currently 1.4.0.525). When a new version is released, we will update as soon as possible; please be patient. We also support the 1.4.0.518 version of the NV GECK, and the German "no gore" version of the runtime.

[]

1. Copy the .dll and .exe files to your Fallout NV directory. This is usually in your Program Files folder under Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\. If you see files named FalloutNV.exe and FalloutNVLauncher.exe, this is the correct folder. Do not copy these files to the Data folder as with a normal mod. The "src" folder is only useful for modders, most users can ignore it.

2. Launch NV via running nvse_loader.exe. Enabling the Steam Community option (enabled by default) will allow you to launch the game via Steam's standard UI.

Scripts written with these new commands must be created via the G.E.C.K. after it is launched via nvse_loader. Open a command prompt window, navigate to your NV install direcory, and type "nvse_loader -editor". Alternately you can create a shortcut to nvse_loader.exe, open the properties window and add "-editor" to the Target field. The normal editor can open plugins with these extended scripts, but it cannot recompile them and will give errors if you try.

[]

If your mod requires NVSE, please provide a link to the main NVSE website <http://nvse.silverlock.org/> instead of packaging it with your mod install. Future versions of NVSE will be backwards compatibile, so including a potentially old version can cause confusion and/or break other mods which require newer versions. If you are making a large mod with an installer, inclusion of a specific version of NVSE is OK, but please check the file versions of the NVSE files before overwriting them, and only replace earlier versions.

When your mod loads, use the command GetNVSEVersion to make sure a compatible version of NVSE is installed. In general, make sure you are testing for any version later than the minimum version you support, as each update to NVSE will have a higher version number. Something like:

if GetNVSEVersion < 5
MessageBox "This mod requires a newer version of NVSE."
endif

[]

* I don't think NVSE is working. How can I check?
- Launch NV, then open the console and type "GetNVSEVersion" (without the quotes). It should print back "NVSE version: 1". If this works, then NVSE is working properly. If it prints an error, then something is wrong. Make sure that all of the nvse DLLs have been copied to the same folder as FalloutNV.exe.

* Crashes or strange behavior:
- Let us know how you made it crash, and we'll look into fixing it.

* XBox 360 or PS3 version?
- No.

* My virus scanner complains about nvse_loader!
- It is not a virus. To extend Fallout and the editor, we use a technique called DLL injection to load our code. Since this technique can also be used by viruses, some badly-written virus scanners assume that any program doing it is a virus. Adding an exception to your scanner's rules may be necessary.

* Can I modify and release my own version of NVSE based on the included source code?
- No; the suggested method for extending NVSE is to write a plugin. If this does not meet your needs, please email the contact addresses listed below.

* How do I write a plugin for NVSE?
- See PluginAPI.h in the source distribution. The plugin system is very similar to FOSE and OBSE, however to keep in step with Bethesda, we have upgraded to VS2008. Example plugin project may be coming at some point when I get around to it.

* Can I include NVSE as part of a mod pack/collection or otherwise rehost the files?
- No. Providing a link to http://nvse.silverlock.org/ is the suggested method of distribution. Exceptions may be given under applicable circumstances; contact us at the email addresses below.

* Is NVSE compatible with the "FNV4GB" loader that enables the large-address-aware (aka 4GB) flag?
- Yes. Check the NVSE forum thread for more information.

* Do I need to be online in Steam to use NVSE?
- No. Enabling the Steam Community does not require being online.

Before contacting us, make sure that your game launches properly without NVSE first. If NVSE doesn't appear to be working, follow the steps in the FAQ first, then send us nvse.log, nvse_loader.log, and nvse_steam_loader.log as attachments.

NVSE's website even has install instructions.

If people aren't gonna bother to read mod descriptions or readmes, you shouldn't be getting into modding, period.

[⎛⎝ Necro Nexus ⎠⎞]

I'm NOT asking this without even reading the instruction ya know. When i got the files, i didnt see any other files except for src. And troubleshoot didnt even help me. That's why im here.

[baddude1337]

Did you extract the files using 7zip?

I did extracted it, but not via 7zip

[baddude1337]

If you've extracted then it's literally a case of dumping all the files in the NV directory (even the SRC, it doesn't really do anything anyway), starting NV once normally and then using the NVSE launcher.

Ok, i see what the problem is.
For some reason, when i extract the files, all the essential ones just- vanishes.
Now that i've found out that you can simply drag the files into another folder without having to extract.
Thanks for your help!

[spladam]

I was wondering the same thing. The instructions said to copy only the .dll's and the .exe's, and it was killing me that it did not mention the other folder, but I didn't realize the extra folder was the source

@pike, really, why be a ♥♥♥♥ and not help, I could tell by his question that he had read the instructions, just as I had. You fill up the thread with nonsense and don't help, why are there so many people like you on the internet? Next time, when you want to be a smart ass, stop after the instructions, you pompous ♥♥♥♥.

Everyone else, thanks for clearing that up and helping EOTS

Tbh, i still dunno how to install it. I keep getting error message when running exe file and i doubt that's that the problem people could solve :(
(Not that im belittling others)

Hey, EOTS, do you have 7zip installed? If not, go here: http://www.7-zip.org/ and get one of the two intallers at the top of the screen. You probably have a 64 bit machine, but get the one that matches what kind of processor you use. Now install it, if it ask you, and I'm not sure if it does, but if it ask you if you want to add context menus, say yes.

Once you do that, make a temp folder anywhere (I have a folder called "Games" on my C drive that I use for such things, and I made a folder called "nvse_4_2_beta4" in there just to store this guy for future needs) and copy "nvse_4_2_beta4.7z" into it, make sure you have THIS latest version.

Now, go into that folder and right click on "nvse_4_2_beta4.7z" and select "Extract Here"
7zip should now extract all the files into this folder.
Now select all the .dll and the .exe files in there, righ click and select copy (or just press Ctrl+C) and then navigate to the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas", (you might want to do this in a seperate windows explorer screen) and then right click and select "paste" (or just press Ctrl+V)
This should be your New Vegas folder with the NewVegas.exe and the Launcher.exe in it.

Like baddude said, you can just copy ALL the files if you want, including the .txt and the src folder, if this makes it easier on you.

Run the "nvse_loader.exe" file once, it will load the launcer, go ahead and start the game and get all the way to the main screen before you exit.

Two things to note, make sure you DownLoaded a good copy of the "nvse_4_2_beta4.7z" file, you might want to DL that again, and like Beaver said, you might want to get the Fallout 4GB loader if you plan on using mods, from here http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35262/?
It makes Fallout use all 4GB of your system ram, and it also automatically loads NVSE (although you still have to run it once yourself.
Take your time, do this step by step, You might want to open one screen to your FallOut Folder and another on the folder you extract the zip to, just to have it in front of you. Let us know if you still have problems, you might have to give us some info about your PC

Good luck bro. Sorry about the text wall.

You see, i'm Korean. And Korea has it own zip file launcher. I've been using that the whole time not knowing that you need US version of it. Now nvse runs fine and- i believe- could install more mods. Thank you sir!

Ah, I see, well I'm glad you solved that mystery, and glad we could help. Your english is really good too, I have to say. I just modded up NV myself and I'm enjoying the hell out of this game all over again, hope you have fun with it.

[R5CYA]

a korean 7zip? i woulda never guessed! glad you figured it out!

[talgaby]

The reason I just say use any file extractor instead of WinRar or WinZip. Most can handle LZMA2 7z files with ease.
