== Default values == | |||
I've just been directed to one of the various settings pages from a thread on the official GECK forum, and it looks like a few of the default values aren't correct. When I went to check the correct default values, I noticed that Fallout3.esm changes that values of many GMSTs.<br /><br />Should the default values listed here be the actual default values of the setting, or the values assigned to the setting when Fallout3.esm is loaded? The latter seems to be the case at the moment, but (at least to me) the former seems to make more sense, as Fallout3.esm is essentially just an official modder's resource.<br />-- [[User:Cipscis|Cipscis]] 00:24, 17 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Which page was it? Default values from Fallout3.esm should be used and not the ones in the base GECK with nothing loaded. | |||

::I just checked the thread and page again and it looks like the OP misread the page here - they had confused iLevelUpSkillPointsBase with iLevelUpSkillCount. The page is [[Derived_Skill_Settings]], but now that I realise that the OP had confused the two GMSTs I see that the default values listed on that page are those set in Fallout3.esm.<br />-- [[User:Cipscis|Cipscis]] 00:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::"Default" should be the value when Fallout3.esm is loaded. The base entries are essentially meaningless. Knowing where Bethesda put those numbers is far more useful. | |||

I've consolidated some settings into setting group pages, redirecting when there were already individual pages. I highly recommend that we avoid individual pages for settings '''''wherever possible''''', as it creates clutter and makes information hard to correlate. <br> | I've consolidated some settings into setting group pages, redirecting when there were already individual pages.

== | == Item Settings category? == | ||
The following settings are listed as "Unused" and I think it'd be good to see them fit into the wiki under something a bit more helpful, perhaps "Item Settings"? | |||
'''fDamageToArmorPercentage''', '''fDamageToWeaponEnergyMult''', '''fDamageToWeaponGunMult''', '''fDamageToWeaponLauncherMult''' and '''fDamageToWeaponMeleeMult'''. | |||
These all affect the durability of items and how fast items take durability 'damage' until they break. A lower than default value will make items last longer, whereas a value higher than default will cause them to break sooner. A value of 0.000000 is accepted, and causes items to never break. | |||
:The settings listed under '''"Unused"''' are actually unused by the game. These are listed as '''"Uncategorized"''', because no one has categorized them yet. | |||
:There are a lot of settings that could fit the category "Item Settings". I'd make "Durability Settings" subheader, or something else more specific. Feel free to move these settings under their own heading. And all other settings you wish to categorize, all help here is appreciated. | |||
