I know that Sergent Lr-3 dies because ive killed him.
I placed the .txt files into the C:/....../Bethesda soft works/Fallout 3 folder. Am I supposed to put them there and is there anything else in game/ other i need to do to get this to work?"

Hi there, I can't believe that no one has answered your post yet?
Here's your answer: While in-game, you must open the console by pressing the 'tilde' key (`) and type the following;
"bat traders" (Without the quotes, then hit ENTER for it to take effect)

Thanks for this. I already set my caravans to essential manually and this will save a bit of typing next playthrough. Did not know you could run scripts...
One thing though, I dunno if it's a very good idea to make Clover unkillable when one wants to free the kids from Paradise Falls with guns blazing. It might be wise to point that out in the readme.
It makes it so they can not be killed but rather knocked unconcious for 10 seconds (game default when in essential condition) then they get up to fight/live again.
As the game progresses you will lose the caravans to deathclaws or those crazy Colbert Bears.
Just in case folk do not know you can reverse the essential setting by appending a 0 instead of a 1 at end of the code string.
Tip: 10 seconds makes it too easy so you can alter this but must reset every time you load a save game: unconscious: The default is 10 seconds. You can change the time (in seconds) that they are unconscious by entering:
setgs fEssentialDeathTime <time> Replace "<time>" with however long you want them to be out cold. This is a global setting for all characters that have the essential flag set. Again, it does not save across sessions.
Here is a list with names so people know who is what: SetEssential 156f6 1 <-- Charon SetEssential 6a772 1 <-- Dogmeat SetEssential 156e5 1 <-- Star Paladin Cross SetEssential a71 1 <-- Jericho SetEssential 3d34e 1 <-- Fawkes SetEssential 3a22 1 <-- Sydney SetEssential 25251 1 <-- Red SetEssential 2AB95 1 <-- Shorty SetEssential 156a2 1 <-- Clover SetEssential 27f65 1 <-- Butch SetEssential 295eb 1 <-- Sticky 94867 Sergeant RL-3 (robot
In this list you can find Red and Sydney, Shorty, all non standard companions but quite usable, especially Sydney. Red is quite workable as well. Long as you do not finish the relevent quests they stay with you. Sydney can be taught to 'wait' here with the No Quest Item mod that allows quest items to be dropped/stored. She is also a kick ass trader. Handy on the trail for those so inclined.

There is one temporary companion also on that list.

or,
"bat essential" etc.
I hope that helps!

I think it has to go in the root Fallut 3 folder, named "Fallout3" or similar.
And thanks Uzibeatle for the info how to revers the setessential and Morbide to get karam-info at every startup.
Either i didn't install it right (i put text files in my data folder)
or
its not working (could not read file ''companions'' or ''companions.txt''

A semicolon at the beginning of a line can be used to comment, or to disable that line: for example for testing or for selective activation.

SetEssential 0006a772 1 ; Dogmeat

As a further example, and just in case it helps someone, my startup.txt (console > bat startup) looks like:
;startup.txt
set timescale to 1 ; default 30
setgs fEssentialDeathTime 90 ; default 10
fov 90 ; default 75
player.getav karma
Cheers.
