Running Commonwealth Cartography export scripts

Prerequisites and assumptions

  • A copy of Fallout 4 installed on your machine

Familiar with FO4Edit?

If you know what you're doing with FO4Edit, you'll need to drop a FO4Edit installation onto the \FO4Edit\ folder and then run the _commonwealthCartography_RUNALL.pas script. This will run all Commonwealth Cartography export scripts consecutively.
Once complete the folder \FO4Edit\Output\ should be populated with 6 CSV files (including one informational CSV noting the debug cells for which extraction was skipped), and you can move on to the preprocessor.

Not familiar with FO4Edit?

The Pascal scripts found in \FO4Edit\Edit Scripts\ are built specifically to be used with the Fallout 4 Version of XEdit, also known as FO4Edit.

Installing FO4Edit

FO4Edit is not distributed in this repository and you will need to grab it online.
The 'official' version of FO4Edit is available on NexusMods.

Once you have downloaded FO4Edit, you should simply be able to dump the contents of the zip into the \FO4Edit\ folder. (You will note that the Edit Scripts\ folder is already in place, populated with Commonwealth Cartography scripts).

Launching FO4Edit

FO4Edit needs to be launched with the parameter -D:"<Path_to_FO4_Data_folder>".
In the FO4Edit folder, you will find SteamLaunch.bat. If you have FO4.exe placed here and have Fallout 4 installed in the default Steam install location, you will be able to execute this batch file to fire up FO4Edit correctly. If your FO4Edit is under a different name, or your install location is different, please edit the script appropriately first.
Once in FO4Edit you will be prompted with which ESM to load. Select SeventySix.esm and hit OK. Wait for the background loader to finish.

Running the Commonwealth Cartography export scripts

Expand SeventySix.esm in the tree on the left. Right click any element and select 'Apply Script...'.
Select _commonwealthCartography_RUNALL as your script to run.
This script runs all Commonwealth Cartography scripts consecutively and should take approximately 26 minutes.
Once completed you should see the folder \FO4Edit\Output\ has been populated with 6 CSV files, including one informational CSV noting the debug cells for which extraction was skipped.

Next steps

Once you have successfully exported the initial data, you can now move on to preprocessing the data, please see Preprocessor.md
