Connecting the Doors
Perhaps the directions were not written clearly enough for this section or maybe I was simply suffering from a lack of sleep, but I had a lot of trouble on this section.
If anyone happens to run into the same trouble with the directions that I did, here's a alternate, speedy method to accomplish the same thing.
1) If you haven't done so already, Load World Space: Wasteland, "Vault101Exterior".
1a) If you have performance problems, hit "a" for lower detail.
2) Proceed to Vault74a's entrance, it should be somewhere around: Wilderness -4, -3
3) Double-click "CaveDoor01", (or whatever door you have as the entrance door from the Wastelands leading into Vault74a).
4) When the reference menu loads, check the "Teleport" radio button.
4a) If the reference menu refuses to load, check to see that it hasn't already been opened, but hiding behind another menu. I've had this happen on several occasions.
This is where the instructions differ from the original
5) Click the drop down box for Cell and choose "Vault74a".
6) Click the drop down box for Reference and choose "CaveDoor01"
6a) If you do not see "CaveDoor01" listed within Vault74a, it means that you have some other form of door leading from Vault74a into the Wastelands, or none at all (perish the thought!) Perhaps you put a "VDoorSlidingRR001" there instead of a CaveDoor?
If everything went well, hit "Ok" and follow the rest of the procedures as normal.
Here's a link to a video that shows the concept in action. The example that I'm linking to is using a custom made room which is connecting to a hatch within Megaton, but the process in using the Reference Menu is still the same. Hope this helps!

- I don't see why you couldn't rewrite that section of the original tutorial with this information. It is a wiki, after all.--Omzy 01:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
