Hello  I'm new to modding and i searched through chest editing guides and they dont help me at all  What i did was opened freeroam (then hit file / open) went to the fable folder clicked FinalAlbion.wad Ripped it, made a new folder called "Fable WAD dumper" in the data section and loaded "The God Box" tng... put that in the "FinalAlbion" folder in my Fable WAD Dumper folder (wich was the Guild demon door outside the guild ) then moved FinalAlbion.wad to "My Documents" i run fable then i get some Runtime error everytime i load my profile then i put the FinalAlbion.wadback into the levels folder then it works and i get no runtime error.
Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated

FinalAlbion should be placed in the Levels folder. This is found in Program files\microsoft games\fble - the lost chapters\data\ (assuming you used the default install path.
So in summary you should have your ripped files here:
C:\program files\microsoft games\fable - the lost chapters\data\levels\finalalbion.
If the tng and lev files are anywhere else the game will not function.
There is nothing in the Void.
There is no point to it's being.
I wish there was a reason.
There is nothing in the Void,
But what we put there.

Okay tell me what items you want and I'll whip up a script for you. (from there after you can use it as an exaple for other chest's) I'll also give you a small guide to tell you what I changed. (do not expect people to do this for you again I just thought it might be helpful to teach you this way.) if you want the god box then I'll try to see what's wrong with it then give you a script that works. (that may actually be the problem because if I remember correctly that mod never worked for me either)

i did exactly what was said in your guide too ... same error ... But thank you for the help

Could you be just a little more descriptive?
First off, what is the error?
Does Fable run at all?
Do you get prompted to use safe mode?
Do you get a missing world D error or something of the sort?
Do you get a different runtime error?
Does it exit loading the game?
Does it exit loading the save?
Does Fable crash?
Is it a crash going to the region where the chest is?
Is it a crash when opening the chest?
Is it a crash using something taken out of the chest?
Does Fable hang?
Does it just get stuck when you open the chest?
Secondly, what's your levels folder setup?
You should have something as follows:\data\
Levels\
+FinalAlbion\
-*.tng
-*.lev
creature_hub.lev
creature_hub.tng
FinalAlbion.bwd
FinalAlbion.gtg
FinalAlbion.qst
FinalAlbion_RT.stb
FinalAlbion.wld
GlobalQuests.qst
You'll also notice that the setup is "\data\Levels\FinalAlbion\" not "\data\Levels\Levels\FinalAlbion\" in case you skipped my heavily emphasized "dump in the data folder" step.
Another important thing to notice here is that FinalAlbion.wad is not here. You can delete it, move it to another folder, or just rename it, but if FinalAlbion.wad is still FinalAlbion.wad and is still in \data\Levels\ then Fable will run off of that and not off of .LEVs and .TNGs.
Lastly, please post your chest script. There are practically gazillions of errors that can be made in a TNG script, but chests are of the most notable to new members. Anyway, post your script and I'll tell you where the problem is, if there is one.

Okay don't download the god box mod it doesn't work for me either!!! heres a script and a tng for something similar. The tng is just oldboy's mod turned into a tng.
Example script:
NewThing Object;
Player 4;
UID 42946741894686298676;
DefinitionType "OBJECT_CHEST_OPENABLE";
ScriptData "NULL";
ThingGamePersistent TRUE;
ThingLevelPersistent TRUE;
StartCTCPhysicsStandard;
PositionX 0.0;
PositionY 0.0;
PositionZ 0.0;
RHSetForwardX 0.998439;
RHSetForwardY 0.055748;
RHSetForwardZ 0.0;
RHSetUpX -0.000054;
RHSetUpY 0.000975;
EndCTCPhysicsStandard;
StartCTCTargeted;
Targetable TRUE;
EndCTCTargeted;
StartCTCEditor;
EndCTCEditor;
StartCTCChest;
ContainerContents[0] "OBJECT_ANY_OBJECT_YOU_WANT";
ContainerContents[1] "OBJECT_ANY_OBJECT_YOU_WANT";
ChestOpen FALSE;
EndCTCChest;
Health 1.0;
EndThing;
uid: the game uses this to identify the item as unique. you must make this completely different from any other uid's you can use the uid generator in aboin explorer to make sure that you make a unique uid. this also must have exactly 20 numbers or digits in it.
position x, y, and z: these are the parts that determine the position of the chest. an easy way to correctly get a working position is to take the x, y, and z positions from another object and change them 2 or 3 notches, but make sure not to change the z position any though.
ContainerContents[0] this is the number of the object in the chest. it must always start from 0 and go up from there.
the rest of the script you shouldn't edit because it might mess it up and crash the game.

You know, I didn't want to say anything, but it's a generally acceptable practice to encourage people to figure out their own problems rather than do the work for them. Of course helping them figure out the problem and helping them fix it is good, but just doing the work for them encourages laziness.
Once someone learns how to troubleshoot his own problems, he won't ask any of the same questions next time he runs into the same problem because he'll know how to fix it.
I think there's a saying like that... "If you give a hungry man a fish, he'll be hungry tomorrow. If you teach him how to fish, he'll never be hungry again." or something to that extent.

I posted that just because he didn't seem to be learning any other way. I didn't do the work for him because as you can see by looking at the script I put pretty much useless items in the chest. plus he would have to change the position himself because I made it so that he could only put it in one spot in the guild exterior tng unless he moved it himself.
Edit: I edited the first post so that he had to figure out the position himself and find his own objects to put in it.
