Bethesda Object Palettes

Is it possible to get access to more of Bethesda's object palettes?

We are not releasing any additional object palettes at this time. I'll make sure we do a blog post to notify folks if we do so in the future. Though I haven't seen it happen yet, I expect the mod community will probably start pooling OPAL files sometime in the future. Joel Burgess 07:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, it seems to me that all of the objects would have to be in the object window, the object palette just seems like a way to make it easier to work with objects by putting them into a central place to sort and work with them.

Invisible Objects

When I place clutter objects in the world like it is done in the tutorial, they are not visible, I can click on them, move them around etc, but I cannot see them, also when I view them in the Object palette the ground plain gets in the way of seeing most of the objects, even if I set the sink to -25 there are some that cannot unless I am eye level. Is this a setting issue? --Cyris90 18:19, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Object Palettes

I downloaded all of the object palette files, but nothing appears when I load them into the object palette tool. I checked the file sizes and the largest is only about 8 kb. Zoinker 21:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

• Nevermind, I found the problem. I had made the OPAL folder in /Fallout 3/Data instead of just /Fallout 3, where geck.exe is. I misread the tutorial thinking that I was supposed to make it in the same directory as the mod's .esp file. Silly me! Zoinker 21:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
