The Creation Kit is the primary tool for creating and editing Data Files. Here you can find information about all the windows and dialogs you may encounter while using the toolset.

CreationKit Editor.png

File Menu

A menu bar that displays commands and options from a drop-down menu. The file menu is located in the upper left hand corner of the Creation Kit and is used for managing loaded data files (.ESMs and .ESPs), importing/exporting of data, checking data validity and managing Archive Files.

File

This menu has options for loading and saving your plug-in, as well as exporting and importing data. It also contains the preferences link.

  • Data...: Opens the Data Window.
  • Save: Saves any changes you've made to the current Active file. If you haven't specified an active file in the Data Window, you will be prompted for a new filename to save your changes to. All changes will be saved to a plug-in file (FILENAME.esp) based on the current master file.
    • Note: Plugin files cannot contain any reserved characters, such as "(" or ")", or when attempting to select them the loader will not recognize them as valid plugins. To remove this error, simply rename the plugin to not contain reserved characters.
  • Save and Push Plugin to PC:
  • Import/Export: Allows you to export data into tab delimited text files. Used for localization during development.
  • Preferences: Allows you to set preferences for various aspects of the editor, mainly having to do with how the Render Window looks and operates.
  • Validate Loaded Data: Validate Loaded Data runs a check through the loaded plug-in and master files to check for errors in how the data is set up. This check is also run automatically when the Creation Kit finishes loading the data selected; this is just a way to run that check without having to reload the data.
  • Create Archive:
  • Upload Plugin and Archive to Bethesda.net:
  • Compact Active File Form IDs:
  • Convert Active File to Light Master:
  • Login to Bethesda.net...:
  • Logout:
  • Exit: Closes the editor. If you have made any changes since your last save, you will be prompted to save before exiting.

World

This menu collects many tools for manipulating aspects of the game world.

NavMesh

Users familiar with Fallout 3's GECK will remember navmesh, our central tool for AI navigation through an environment. This menu holds our various tools for creating and manipulating this valuable functionality.

Character

These tools are mostly for the manipulation of character behavior and beyond the scope of this initial tutorial.

Gameplay

These advanced settings can have game-wide effects and are also beyond the scope of this tutorial.
