Modding Files with G.E.C.K:
[size=18]Unpacking .BSA Files:
Some PC Mods will contain .BSA Files that the Xbox will not be able to run.
Here's a quick tutorial on how to Unpack those .BSA Files into Xbox usable Files.
FO3 Archive Utility Installation Tutorial:
*REQUIRES FALLOUT 3 FOR PC INSTALLED*
To install this utility, place the FO3Archive.jar file into a directory of your choice. To run the utility, create a program shortcut and specify "javaw -Xmx512m -jar FO3Archive.jar" as the program to run. Set the start directory to the directory where you extracted the jar file.
Step 1.
Download the FO3 Archive Utility.
Step 2.
Create the following directory: C:\Fallout3\FO3Archive\
Create the following directory: C:\Fallout3\FO3Archive\Out\
Step 3.

Step 4.
Double click on the FO3Archive.lnk File. Then click File, Open and navigate to your data folder and select a BSA file (this might take a while to open)

Converting Texture Files:
Method 1.
The goal here is to convert .DDS (PC used) Files to .DDX (Xbox used) Files. At the moment there have been no official programs for .DDS to .DDX Conversion, however if you were to open the .DDS File in IDA Pro and select PPC (PowerPC) as the Processor Type, then copy and paste the Hex Values into a Hex Editor, then Paste write:
to the beginning of the File. Then save it as a .DDX File and in theory work it should work.
For More Info. on this please go to:

(Delete the space between the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and .com)
I may be making a Tutorial/program for this in the future.
Method 2.
You can make the game force load .DDS files by adding 'bUseDDX=0' to the general section of fallout.ini, however the draw back to this method is that ONLY .DDS files will load and not .DSX files so you have to replace all the .DSX Files from the game with the .DDS files from the PC version of the game. And even then some of the textures may not even load properly, saving and reloading seems to help but only temporarily.

Converting Sound Files:
The goal here is to convert normal sound files (.WAV, .MP3, .OGG, etc.) into .XMA (Xbox used) Files. This can be accomplished by first converting them to Wave (.WAV) Files then convert the Wave (.WAV) Files to xma files using xmaencode.EXE.
Step 1.
Extract Files from the xmaencode.RAR
Step 2.
Take your Wave (.WAV) File and drag and drop it on the xmaencode.EXE.
Step 3.
Your Wave (.WAV) File should now be a .XMA File.
Step 1.
Extract Files from the xmaencode.RAR
Step 2.
Take your Wave (.WAV) File and drag and drop it on the xmaencode.EXE.
Step 3.
Your Wave (.WAV) File should now be a .XMA File.
Installing Modded Files onto Fallout 3:
Step 1.
Go into you Fallout 3 root folder, and go to the Data Folder.
Step 2.
Copy and Paste all of your modded files into the folder.
Step 3.
Go into you XeX Loader (XeXMenu) and load the Default.xex in your Fallout 3 Root Folder.
