Description

How to use the mod

!!! Be careful when renaming named NPCs (whose name isn't settler), as it can be really hard to get the original name back.

See the Known Issues section for more information. !!!

type bat srHelp in the console to get lists of available names and commands while in game.

Installation

I seriously recommend installing through the Nexus Mod Manager. The installation wizard guides you through the steps, and it minimizes the potential for future errors. Other mod managers, such as the Fallout 4 Mod Manager, are not recommended and will probably give you a "wrong structure"-error.

Bat commands

This is a mod combined with a number of batch commands that lets you rename your followers. It uses the console commands SetActorFullName together with separately made Message (MESG) strings (not default ones made by Bethesda). I would turn this into a pure mod if I could, but until the Creation Kit/GECK is released, using batch files is the easiest solution. At least together with my mod it's possible to use names that are not originally in the game.Names are offered in seperate packs that you can choose when you do the NMM install, if you just feel like using a couple of the names and not fill your Data folder with batch files. If you feel like a name is missing, leave a comment and I'll include it in the list.1. Make sure the mod is installed and the esp is active.2. Launch the game, open up the console and click on the settler you want to rename.3. Write one of the bat commands (see section Bat commands near the bottom for codes) depending on which name you want.If you chose to install the optional command help bats:The following names are available:Armorer, Artilleryman, Bartender, Doctor, Farmer, Guard, Minuteman, Scavenger, Tailor, Trader, Weaponsmith, WorkerBoss, Captain of the Guard, Cheif of Security, Leader, MayorAssistant, Beggar, Builder, Businessman, Businesswoman, Butler, Child, Citizen, Cook, Deputy, Detective, Engineer, Farmhand, Freeloader, Gary, Gatekeeper, Greaser, Junkie, Lawyer, Mechanic, Mercenary, Merchant, Militia, Minuteman Comms Officer, Nurse, Priest, Prisoner, Researcher, Scientist, Seamstress, Secretary, Security, Sheriff, Synth, Wanderer, WastelanderCriminal, Escort, Mobster, Pimp, Raider, SlaveAgent, Artillery, Bombardier, Commando, Grenadier, Gunner, Marksman, Medic, Quartermaster, Ranger, Recruit, Rifleman, Scout, Sniper, SpecialistPrivate, Private First Class, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Officer, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Commander, Captain, Major, ColonelBoS Initiate, BoS Scribe, BoS Knight, BoS Paladin, BoS LancerTourist, Railroad Agent, Railroad Heavy(for the mod NorthlandDiggers Crafting - Resources - Jobs ):Botanist, Butcher, Forester, Leatherworker, Postman, Tax Collector, UndertakerContains all companion names.Settler 1, Settler 2, Settler 3... etc. (up to Settler 25)4. Close the console and look at the settler, its name should now be changed.Make sure you have made all the necessary configurations to enable mods in Fallout 4.If you haven't, check out this guide to learn how: FALLOUT 4 - Enabling Modding for PC by Gopher 1. Download the mod by clicking "Download with manager".2. Activate the mod in Nexus Mod Manager and follow the installation guide.1. Manually download the .zip file containing the mod.2. Open the .zip using a file archiver.3. Choose ONE, and only one, of the two .esp files in the 0 - MAIN folder.SettlerRenaming.esp is the default one, while SettlerRenaming-Indicators.esp adds indicators (*)4. Choose the batch files (text files) you want.These are separated by their categories in the folders 1 - Name Batch Files and 2 - Help Batch Files.5. Extract your chosen files into the Data folder (not in any subfolder) of your Fallout 4 installation.6. Open plugins.txt (located in C:\Users\-username-\AppData\Fallout4) and add the name of the .esp you chose to the list.1. Deactivate the mod by double-clicking it.2. Mark the deactived mod and uninstall or delete it.1. Remove all files associated with the mod from your Data folder.2. Remove the name of the .esp from plugins.txt.A: Not by just using the base mod, but you can edit it on your own if you have the time! I've written a guide that you can find in the articles section here A: I don't know, but leave a comment and I'll make sure to add it!A: From what I can tell, no. It works just like the SetActorFullName command has worked in previous Bethesda games.A: For the tcl command to work you can't have anything targeted, like what you do when you select a settler. Try double clicking something or clicking at an empty area, so that the console doesn't display any name or ID on the top. It should work without issues then.A: You have two options: either load an earlier save or add the named NPCs name to the game by yourself. This can be done by creating a MESG record with the NPCs original name and then use SetActorFullName with the FormID for that MESG. I've written a guide on how to do this in the articles section, link here A: There is a way to solve it. Write down your SPECIAL stats and then write "showspecialmenu" in the console. This will open the menu where you select your stats at the beginning of the game as well as letting you rename yourself. What that's done, restore your old stats with the setav-command.German / Deutsch: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7428/ Italian / Italiano: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8986/ Russian / Русский: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9642/ • Mods that edit Console.swf won't work with the console menu.• There may be problems naming some NPCs, like provisioners or Dogmeat. It seems like the name "Provisioner" that is applied to a settler on a supply line overrides the NPCs name value. The new name does, however, remain when you assign the provisioner to another role.• Be careful when changing the names of named NPCs (not NPCs that you've named yourself, but those that have a name to begin with), since it can be next to impossible to reapply the original name. Some NPCs names are already available as messages in the base game, but most are not.FO4Edit: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2737/ Crafting Workbenches - Craftable Weapons, Armor, Clothing, Ammo & Junk: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2451/ Vats Over There? - Increased V.A.T.S Distance: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2173/
