Question regarding prefs.ini tweak

Postby Blood_River on Thu Oct 22, 2009 10:58 pm

Hey everyone. I read this at Arwen's Fallout 3 tips section:

Arwen wrote:FalloutPrefs.ini Edits:

Remove Waypoints from Pipboy Maps

change bShowQuestMarkers=1 to bShowQuestMarkers=0 in the [Gameplay] section.

...problem is it doesn't seem to do anything for me. :? Any ideas? I made sure I typed the text under the gameplay section. I can't imagine what else I'd need to do. Although, I must be doing something wrong.

What that change actually does is it removes the Quest Markers from the Compass, not from the Map. (I'll fix my typo there).

Ooooh. Ok, thanks. Is it possible to remove waypoints from the map?

It is worth mentioning that prefs.ini isn't used if you use Fallout Mod Manager or FOSE to bypass the default Bethesda launcher.

Also, you can remove the waypoints from the map (and HUD), there are mods on Fallout 3 Nexus that accomplish it.
If at first you don't succeed, read the instructions.

Thanks csb, I didn't realize that prefs.ini isn't used when you launch with FOSE. I'll have to add that to my FO3 tips page.
