Please help me create chest with any item. For example with It_Po_Health_Small. I tried to find the guide for about 3 hours and couldn't find anything. I want to create some houses and NPCs near the heart of the world, but I can't even do it.

What have you done so far? Are you familiar with the elex2resman?

I'd suggest to start here, click me
(It's for ELEX (1) but the handling is the same as for ELEX 2.)

You may have a look at TAV_Interacts.elex2secdoc, "Tpl_Int_Bsk_Chest_01", class gCInventory_PS.

As soon as you've managed to unpack the elex2sec from c_1_na.pak we can continue changing the chest inventory.

(Or you may have a look at the "Chest inventory modifier" for ELEX (1) at Nexus.)

Thank you for answer, yes i try work with elex2resman. Can u explain to me how should i read the coordinates? Where X, Y, Z ?
MatrixLocal = and MatrixGlobal = have too many numbers and this puts me in confusion

Yes, the matrices and boundaries are kinda confusing. The good news: Baltram, author of the elexresman introduced these "assignments":

NewPos = (vec -201691.8 41819.4 -78023.648438);
NewRot = (euler 0.000000 1.570796 0.000000);

where x= -201691.8 y=41819.4 z=-78023.648438
y is height, btw.

euler angles in radians, so 1.570796=PI/2 or 90 degrees

(Insert those lines after the line Creator =...)

edit: most important thing when inserting new entities (chests, whatever).

It's mandatory to change the uniqe item guid:

"Tpl_Int_Bsk_Chest_01" {
GUID = {2F260145-1E3E-4607-9109-3A9C74C907FF}; < needs to be unique
Creator = {DFBBFDC0-806B-4793-B807-FF70DC13D4F8}; < always the same for all Tpl_Int_Bsk_Chest_01

To create unige guids you might use patterns like this
000000000000 (for new chest 1)
000000000001 (for new chest 2)
000000000002 (for new chest 3)

and so on.

For above chest replace GUID = {2F260145-1E3E-4607-9109-3A9C74C907FF};
by GUID = {2F260145-1E3E-4607-9109-000000000000};

(You could also replace the last byte, FF by FE but I wouldn't recommend this. There could be other modders which have the same simple idea.)

edit 2: coordinates of a chest in Tavar: 45043.3438 33198.3359 -212655.219
As a simple test you could give your new chest
NewPos = (vec 45043.3438 33298.3359 -212655.219);

then it should appear 1 m above the original one. (Just to be sure everything went right.)

(I lost hours when searching for entities which I placed wrongly.)

Thank you so much! It worked! As I understand it, there are no building catalogs (as in Skyrim) and I need to manually look at each texture for my houses. But it's not a problem. At least I did something. Thanks again.

[tombom81]

Glad to hear that it worked.
Stay tuned!

(Yeah, a texture catalogue would come in handy.)
