Adding new weapons to existing formlists - best practices?

Post by **retlaw83** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 5:32 am

I plan on fleshing out the arsenals of the Talon mercs, Brotherhood and other groups via their formlists. Is it better to do this via a script or just by adding the items directly into the lists in the GECK?

Wouldn't ListAddForm be better because then I don't permanently modify people's form lists if they decide to uninstall the mod?

Yes, that's the point of using ListAddForm, but if that's the ONLY reason you'd be needing NVSE, better to drop the NVSE requirement and use the native function. The problem with AddFormToFormList is that it adds new items at the top of the list, while ListAddForm adds them to the bottom.

I'm leaving this in Tutorials as it's some quite useful information, unless of course one of you fellas wants to make an actual tutorial for this.

i use the "modify the original and then tell my users to mergepatch for it" method.
