FO3LODGEN

[CreamyRaccoon]

I had a little trouble with the post install instructions of FO3LODGEN. I installed the files with MO and then activated the program and generated the files but I found them in the overwrite section.  I opened the overwrite folder in the MO folder and took them out of there then made the archive and installed it.  I hope I didn't type this awkwardly and you can't read it.

Yea sorry about that.  I just added an additional note in the changelog to point out there was an instruction change under https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kelmych/Fallout3#Setting_up_Mod_Organizer

Specifically:

 

FO3LODGen also needs an addition. In the Executables menu select FO3LODGen.

1. Next to the Arguments text box, type " -o:"D:\Games\FO3LODGenOutput" ", without the outer quotations. Note that any directory chosen for this argument cannot be in UAC-controlled space, the root Fallout 3 Goty folder, or the Mod Organizer folder used for FO3.
2. Click [Modify], then [Close].

I added some more text since the additional setup instructions weren't mentioned earlier in the guide for any of the executables added in MO.

I misread the  -o:"D:\Games\FO3LODGenOutput"  part of the guide and I thought I made a mistake my bad.  I have FO3LODGEN in the FO3 Root Folder in the C: Drive but not under program files is it okay if I use the argument with that? C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 3 goty

It's ok to,put the fo3loggen executable in a folder inside of the Fallout 3 Goty directory. It's best to put the folder in the argument field (where results are stored) somewhere else.
