[OBL] CS Basics TES4Gecko?

Recommended Posts

I've recently started the CS Basics tutorial series here in TES Alliance. By now I've reached lesson #4 in which I'm supposed to clean a mod with the TES4Gecko tool, however, I've heard of another tool called TES4Edit which serves the same or a similar purpose. I went to the TES4Gecko Nexus page and noticed the file hasn't been updated since 2008 while the TES4Edit file was updated just recently(last month). So, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any reason why I shouldn't use the TES4Edit tool to clean my mod instead?

Thanks!

Just for the sake of keeping the class basic, I covered only one tool and the easiest of the two to use. If you prefer to use TES4Edit to clean your mods, there's nothing wrong with that. You just have to use Gecko for the class if you're trying to earn points for the sake of completing the course as outlined. :good:

I already used TES4Edit because it seemed easier to me, without all those options at the start. On top of that, I already started the Final Exam and used the resulting ESP to continue the lesson, probably not the smartest thing to do since I was probably going to have to clean it again anyway:pc:

I don't know if I did it right though, that's why I chose to include a screenshot of the tools interface displaying the look of the ESP after cleaning. In any case, it's probably better if I just go back and do it again with TES4Gecko just to be on the safe side, after all, I did retain a backup of the untouched ESP just before cleaning as was suggested. But if you could spare the time, I'd really like to know if my cleaning was done incorrectly for future reference. Thanks!

P.S. I did load the clean ESP to make sure there weren't any problems and all seemed fine.

EDIT

I installed Java and TES4Gecko but when I load the plugin the branching folders don't appear color coded for some reason. I'm using the latest version (of both Java and Gecko) and the untouched ESP. Here's a screenshot.

Oh no, I wasn't, forget what I said. I downloaded the incorrect file. Now it works. :D
