Online Documentation

EpFwip started an HTML conversion of the Fallout 3 Training Manual many years ago. With the help of GhPages and Jekyll online documentation for xEdit is now available. New screenshots of the Fallout 3 examples that Miax and JustinOther presented will be added as time permits. Also, the website will continue to evolve over time.

However, for now consider what the Tome of xEdit presents as a current resource for xEdit functionality. The previous PDF file presented step-by-step illustrations of the built-in functions available to xEdit. While the UI itself has had few changes over time the functions work the same and only certain functions are game-specific.

The online documentation is available from the Help button built into the developmental version of xEdit or you can view it from here.

Developer Documentation

Getting started with xEdit development requires a properly configured Delphi environment. The following instructions should get you through the minimal viable setup.

Install Delphi

If you don't already have a Delphi environment, we recommend using Delphi 11 Community Edition.

Install Dependencies

• Download and install Project Magician.
• Download and install DDevExtensions.
• Launch Delphi and navigate to Tools → DDevExtensions Options.
• Under Extended IDE Settings, enable the Disable Package Cache option.
• Exit Delphi.
• Clone the xEdit repo (if you haven't already) and initialize submodules (run git submodule update --init --recursive from the git root).
• Navigate to the External\jcl\jcl\source\include\ directory and copy jcl.template.inc to jcld28win32.inc. To build xEdit 64 bit, copy jcl.template.inc again, to jcld28win64.inc
• Open External\jcl\jcl\packages\JclPackagesD280.groupproj.
• Build All, then install all packages (non-runtime packages with green icons).
• Restart Delphi.
• Open External\jvcl\jvcl\packages\D28 Packages.groupproj.
• Navigate to Tools → Options.
• Under Language → Delphi, add the below paths to the Library option:
  • {TES5Edit repo}\External\jcl\jcl\lib\d28\win32
  • {TES5Edit repo}\External\jcl\jcl\source\include
• Build All, then install all packages (non-runtime packages with green icons).
• Restart Delphi.
• Navigate to Tools → Options.
• Under Language → Delphi, add the below path to the Library option:
  • {TES5Edit repo}\External\jvcl\jvcl\lib\d28\win32
• Restart Delphi.
• Open External\VirtualTrees\Packages\RAD Studio 11\VirtualTreeView.groupproj.
• Build All, then install VirtualTreesD28.bpl.
• Open External\FileContainer\FileContainer28.groupproj.
• Build All, then install FileContainerD28.bpl.

Important Note

If you don't have commercial DevExpress components, you'll need to open BethWorkBench.groupproj and ensure the Build Configuration is set to LiteDebug.

Feature Request: orginal plugins backed up in separate folder

Describe the desired look and feel:

When a plugin is altered or cleaned the original is backed up to a separate 
folder. For instance 'Data\Edit' or something similar (maybe even something 
that can be set).


Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement:

To avoid having the data folder filled to the brim with backed up original 
plugins. For those of us who like nice and tidy uncluttered installations.

What is the expected output?

Plugins backed up with date at end (as per previous versions of edit) in the 
new folder.

Please provide any additional information below.

[TESVSnip] History Log

Describe the desired look and feel.

I'd like to have a history log for the changes made to the plugin saved in a 
separate folder.  I would like to have an option to close the session, or close 
the log file without closing the plugins.

Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement

The history log could be used for version tracking but may have other benefits 
I can't think of at the moment.

What is the expected output?

Saves a log file with a Julian Date plus a truncated Plugin Name no longer then 
30-40 chars.  Having the ability to close the log file could be used for 
testing to indicate that at some point the plugin worked and a new plugin was 
introduced.

This also could be used for version tracking once certain plugins have been 
modified, and a new plugin is brought into Snip

Please provide any additional information below.

DESC does not show localization.

What needs to be reviewed?

I am trying to get the DESC field in Spell to show the localization strings.  
The file xDump displays this as "DESC - Description" when the field is all 
zeros, but it's blank also when its EE 25 01 00

Describe how it is now.

EE 25 01 00 (75246) = ""
00 00 00 00 = ""
0A 00 49 6E 63 69 6E 65 72 61 74 65 00 = Incinerate

wbDESC := wbLString(DESC, 'Description', 0, cpTranslate);
wbDESCReq := wbLString(DESC, 'Description', 0, cpTranslate, True);

Describe the desired change.

Do I need to call the routine differently? I was wondering if it could display 
the following:  

EE 25 01 00 (75246) = "Your Vampiric blood gives you <100>% resistance to 
poison."
00 00 00 00 = "Zero Reference"

Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement.

Edit may need a routine to treat this field in a special way.  When it has a 
value of "Zero Reference" there isn't a localization string for it.  Edit could 
either disable editing of that field or allow someone to add one and it is 
saved to the localization file for that specific plugin.

[TESVSnip] Duplicate Top Group when merging plugins

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Lich King's Armor.esp 'First' and then 'Frostmourne.esp' from issue33
2. Right click a field and choose expand all.
3. Both Plugins have separate quantities of records.  The original file 
indicates the correct amount.
NOTE: The COBJ for Lich King's Armor.esp has 12 records in it.
4: One group at a time Right click the groups STAT, WEAP, COBJ and choose copy 
to Lich King's Armor.esp.  This has copied 11 records. GRUP is considered a 
record along with the contents of STAT, WEAP, COBJ.
5: Right click Frostmourne.esp and Delete it.  This removes Frostmourne.esp and 
it's subrecords which were copied into Lich King's Armor.esp.

There is a duplicate of COBJ Top Groups.  To get rid of them you can follow 
then next steps.

6: Drag the COBJ records from the duplicate field into the other one.

NOTE: The COBJ for Lich King's Armor.esp 'WILL' update correctly each time you 
drag/move a record from one group to the other.  The first record dragged will 
update the group to 13 and after all the plugins are moved it will say 16 
records which is correct.  However, the Main HEDR of the plugin was already 
incorrect when 'Copy To' was used and since the records now belong to the other 
plugin the HEDR is not updated, as expected, because it's moving from one place 
to another within the same plugin.

7: Delete the remaining empty COBJ field.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There should not be a duplicate COBJ group.  The number of records for COBJ 
should update automatically when the group is merged as well as the Record 
Count for the Main HEDR of the plugin.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Dev-version

Please provide any additional information below.

Same as previous ticket.

I don't think each separate plugin has it's own set of properties.

Feature Request: Have a simple txt log that records changes made to plugin when changes are saved

Describe the desired look and feel.

To have a simple text file generated when ever changes to a plugin is made and 
the original plugin is also backed up.

Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement

Often reporting dirty plugins means copy and pasting out of the older versions 
of edit to a txt file. Instead of having to do that this would auto-generate 
this information. This could be useful in keeping a record of what was changed 
for future bug tracking and looking for potential changes that shouldn't have 
occurred.

What is the expected output?

A text file log that would be generated along with the backed up original 
plugin. To be placed wherever the original plugin is also placed and perhaps 
amended with a date in the title for when the changes took place.

Please provide any additional information below.

Make new message appear this way:

[00:57] Background Loader: [TS_FallenAngels.esp] Fatal: Required Master 
[ApachiiHair.esm] Not found

Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement.

It will make more sense to Novice users and eliminate confusion that the 
TS_FallenAngels.esp or ApachiiHair.esm is corrupt in some way.

[TESVSnip] Warning: Subrecord doesn't seem to match the expected structure

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the file below
2. Go to STAT or ARMA
3. There is a message that says "Warning: Subrecord doesn't seem to match the 
expected structure"

What is the expected output?

I would like to use the routine that displays that message in another way.  I'd 
like there to be a check of the file when it is loaded.  If there are errors 
like Snip detects once I select a record, I'd like there to be a message window 
that pops up and tells you there are errors when the file is loaded.  Example:

"Warning: Some subrecords don't seem to match the expected structure.  Please 
load the plugin in the CK before using it with TESVSnip."

What do you see instead?

I'm sure this is expected.  The plugin is old and a lot has changed in the CK.  
The plugin is either corrupt or just old. I see "Warning: Subrecord doesn't 
seem to match the expected structure" when I click on STAT or ARMA entries.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Current Dev version

[TESVSnip] Settings Menu

Describe the desired look and feel.

From somewhere I'd like to have a settings menu that will allow the user to set 
the default load ans save path from within Snip. I'd also like a second option, 
radial button for "last location used." so that where ever some is working from 
that it the new location to load and save from.

I'd like a small expandable menu item under File that will show the last 5 
places visited.

[TESVSnip] Update TES4 Header and GRUP Header

Describe the desired look and feel.

Currently the TES4 Header and GRUP Header do not match TES5Dump. Information is 
omitted, specifically the Form Version.

Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement



What is the expected output?

TES4 Header should mimic:

  wbRecord(TES4, 'Main File Header', [
    wbStruct(HEDR, 'Header', [
      wbFloat('Version'),
      wbInteger('Number of Records', itU32),
      wbByteArray('Next Object ID', 4)
    ], cpNormal, True),
    wbByteArray(OFST, 'Unknown', 0, cpIgnore),
    wbByteArray(DELE, 'Unknown', 0, cpIgnore),
    wbString(CNAM, 'Author', 0, cpTranslate, True),
    wbString(SNAM, 'Description', 0, cpTranslate),
    wbRArray('Master Files', wbRStruct('Master File', [
      wbString(MAST, 'Filename', 0, cpNormal, True),
      wbByteArray(DATA, 'Unknown', 8, cpIgnore, True)
    ], [ONAM])),
    wbArray(ONAM, 'Overridden Forms',
      wbFormIDCk('Form', [ACHR, LAND, NAVM, REFR, PGRE, PHZD, PARW, PBAR, PBEA, PCON, PFLA]),
      0, nil, nil, cpNormal, False, wbTES4ONAMDontShow),
    wbByteArray(SCRN, 'Screenshot'),
    wbUnknown(INTV),
    wbUnknown(INCC)
  ], True, nil, cpNormal, True, wbRemoveOFST);


GRUP Header should mimic:

  wbMainRecordHeader := wbStruct('Record Header', [
    wbString('Signature', 4, cpCritical),
    wbInteger('Data Size', itU32, nil, cpIgnore),
    wbRecordFlags,
    wbFormID('FormID', cpFormID),
    wbByteArray('Version Control Info 1', 4, cpIgnore),
    wbInteger('Form Version', itU16, nil, cpIgnore),
    wbByteArray('Version Control Info 2', 2, cpIgnore)
  ]);

Please provide any additional information below.

Also for GRUP headers I need "Flags 2: 00537012" to be shown as: "Version 
Control: 00537012" instead. In Dump this is "Version Control Info 1"

CK Errors when loading plugins saved with localization

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a plugin with the CK or fix one from the Nexus that has localization 
in it.
2. Run TES5Dump on it until the text output file looks correct.
3. Load it into the CK

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the CK to load it and not complain.  However, I get the following 
message.

MASTERFILE: LOCALIZATION: Zero entries or empty block size read from strings 
file STRINGS/UnreadBooksGlow_ENGLISH.ILSTRINGS. Strings will be missing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Dev Version

[TESVSnip] Generate backups of the original plugin before any change is made.

I think we should add a function similar to xEdit in which any time you save 
your plugin, the previous state of it is saved as it is before touching 
anything.

We could create an Snip History folder next to the exe, and before the plugin 
being edited is saved, just copy the current status to the folder with a its 
file name appended with date and time.

[TESVSnip] Incorrect Record Count when merging plugins

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load Lich King's Armor.esp 'First' and then 'Frostmourne.esp' from issue33
2. Right click a field and choose expand all.
3. Both Plugins have separate quantities of records.  The original file 
indicates the correct amount.
4: One group at a time Right click the groups STAT, WEAP, COBJ and choose copy 
to Lich King's Armor.esp.  This has copied 11 records. GRUP is considered a 
record along with the contents of STAT, WEAP, COBJ.
5: Right click Frostmourne.esp and Delete it.  This removes Frostmourne.esp and 
it's subrecords which were copied into Lich King's Armor.esp.
NOTE: There is a duplicate of COBJ but that is mentioned in another issue.
6: Drag the COBJ records from the duplicate field into the other one.
7: Delete the remaining empty COBJ field.

The record count for the plugin is now 27.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The record count for the plugin should show 37 records before I save the 
plugin. Currently the record count is updated when the plugin is saved.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Dev-version

Please provide any additional information below.

I don't think each separate plugin has it's own set of properties.  When you 
delete Frostmourne.esp the count for it is 11, close to 10 and I think Snip 
gets confused and decrements the count for Lich King's Armor.esp.  If not then 
the record count was not updated when the subrecords were copied from 
Frostmourne.esp to Lich King's Armor.esp.

[TESVSnip] Review XML Functionality

What needs to be reviewed?

Functionality of RecordStructure.xml and ScriptFunctions.xml.

Describe how it is now.

N/A

Describe the desired change.

Update RecordStructureFormat.txt and ScriptFunctionsFormat.txt if it is missing 
anything.  Check open tickets to see if they can be resolved with current 
functionality in ScriptFunctionsFormat.txt.  For example could 
ScriptFunctions.xml be used to repeat subrecords elements and specify to do it 
14 times with a count parameter.  

Can the ScriptFunctions.xml be used to get the value of a subrecord like KSIZ 
and store that as the count for KWDA and thus repeat only that amount of times.

Outline the goals/benefits of the enhancement.

Resolve repeating element functionality with existing code.

Review Default Compression Setting

Can the Default setting be set to use the compression indicated by the CK?  I'd 
like it to save with the compression bit on or off if the CK set it that way.  

Also would that apply separately to each record if only some have the 
compression flag on?
