recipes - Recipe Loader

Summary

Recipes is a JSON-driven crafting framework for Fallout: New Vegas. Drop a file into Data/RECIPES/ and your recipe loads automatically; no ESP needed.

For players

This mod does nothing on its own - you won't see any new recipes just by installing it. It's a behind-the-scenes framework that other mods use to add crafting recipes without an ESP.

If a mod you downloaded requires Recipes, just install it and forget about it. Everything runs automatically when you load a save.

If something goes wrong with a recipe from another mod, check your console - Recipes logs exactly which file failed and why, so you can report it to that mod's author (or me).

For mod authors

Recipes are defined entirely in JSON - no ESP required. Each file specifies the crafting station category, an optional sub-category, required skill and level, input items, and output items. Optional plugin requirements can be declared per-recipe, so a recipe will silently skip loading if its dependencies aren't present, making cross-mod compatibility painless.

To automate converting plugin created recipe forms to json recipes, use recipes - FNVEdit Export Script.
