Ez-FOSE-Plugins

Description:

Updated: August 21, 2025

Have you ever wanted to create a Plugin for Fallout 3 (GOTY) - FOSE, but were unable to because of dependency issues, compiling errors and/or were unable to find a plugin example to use?

If so, this Modders Resource should help you.

If you're unfamiliar with FOSE, it's an SDK created by ianpatt, which extends the functionality of Fallout 3 (GOTY) for mod authors.

The compiled SDK for end users can be downloaded here: FOSE

What this mirror of the SDK does:

• [] Update the necessary SDK projects to compile with Visual Studio 2022 (v143).

  [] Pre-configure the SDK to make Plugins instead of the full EXE (Core and Loader).

  [] Provide a Plugin Example that can be duplicated easily.

  [] Optimize all projects for Multi-Core compilation.

  More about this Project:

  • [] The Source and full README for this Project can be found here: FOSE-Plugins

    [] The "Releases" in the Files section will be updated upon significant changes. For the most recent changes, visit the link above.

    [] The highest version of VS officially supported before it was abandoned for CMake, is Visual Studio 2019 (v142). Building Plugins with v143 is experimental, but functioning.

    [] If you have any issues and/or find a way to create Plugins even easier (excluding CommonLib), contact me at the links below with detailed information.

      I am also looking for a way to optionally integrate Address Library for version independence. Perhaps someone can point me to an example of AL integration without CommonLib?

      CommonLib is great and all, but it's only for a few games, it uses CMake (I prefer VS even though CMake is great) and it's spread out over different repositories.

      A full list of SDK's that have been pre-configured and provide Plugin Examples can be found here: Ez0n3 - Script-Extender
