Mod:GreslinGames Test Suite

A Pipboy-based mod development and testing toolkit, by Greslin.

GreslinGames Test Suite (GGTS)
When I began developing PANPC (Pack Attack: NPC Edition) in 2018, I began creating a small library of console batch files aimed at manipulating the Fallout 4 game environment, mostly to set up NPC-to-NPC wargames in order to test the AI. To develop reliable game mods, mod developers need the ability to easily create specific game environments and conditions to test their code.

In 2022, I consolidated my various development tools (batch files, custom worldspaces, etc.) into a single holotape-based toolkit that could be used casually by both players and mod developers.

What It Does
This mod consolidates and automates a number of console batch files and tools that I've been using to test and develop PANPC and PACE, combining them all into a single holotape toolkit.

GGTS implements several test worldspaces based on actual FO4 areas, such as Satellite Station Olivia (which contains all workbenches, plus a wide range of other convenient testing objects) and The Combat Zone, as well as adding convenient teleports to a handful of in-game locations. You can also damage your limbs and health, add rads, bump your player level, etc. - the kinds of things you'd need to do in order to adequately test a mod project.

Finally, GGTS implements a "Friendly Mode". When turned on, Friendly Mode renders the player non-hostile to all NPCs in the game. Turning it off returns the game to normal. You can use this along with manual NPC spawning to set up NPC-to-NPC wargames without drawing the player into the middle of it.
