INI Settings

From GECK
Jump to: navigation, search

This is an introduction to INI files and a full list of INI properties used in Fallout: New Vegas. The 2 INI files the game uses are Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini. If these are not present in Documents\My Games\FalloutNV they will be generated and populated by FalloutNVLauncher.exe upon launch. For a better browsing experience this page will not list unused ini settings and will instead list them here: Unused INI Settings.

Types of properties used

All properties start with a letter indicating the type of value you can enter as valid.

Abbreviation Meaning
b Boolean
s String
i Integer
u Unsigned Integer
f Floating-point Number

FalloutCustom.ini

If the user has JIP LN NVSE installed, the game will be able to read a third INI file in the same location as the others, named FalloutCustom.ini, akin to the same type of INI present in Fallout 4 and Skyrim. This type of INI is supposed to be populated by the user with pre-existing properties from the other 2 INI's and with values of their choosing, these will take priority over the original properties and allow INI editing while keeping defaults intact.

Example of how FalloutCustom is used:

Fallout.ini FalloutCustom.ini Used by the game
bFaceMipMaps=1 bFaceMipMaps=0 bFaceMipMaps=0
