Abyss Of Your Eyes-Stratovarius

The gatekeeper. I had 2 companion mods running and i had them run in for me while i spectral formed and they all got slaughtered..so i hit him and ran..hit him and ran probally took me around 20 mins to get him down

I only know of one way to do it. Sure there are others but i learned this one just by playing the game.. I figure you might be one of the people who like to be the good guy.. because if you decide to be the bad guy..your bound to run across this. You have to join the dark brotherhood. The first guy you take contracts from also happens to be a vampire and after a few contracts completed he offers you the option to become one. EDIT: just realized you are trying to turn an NPC into a vampire.. i thought you meant PC. Again i only know of one way and that is to load up the TES4 Construction Kit,find the Npc you wishto change and edit his race directly.

A full re-install should work. You just have to delete the oblivion folder after you uninstall. Just save your modfiles and rid of everything else.. I had to do this recently for a very similar problem. i downloaded a mod that changed the skeleton files and it ended up crashing each and every game. even a unmodded lvl 1 file save. I had no choice but to re-install,delete my oblivion folder and re-install. Just make sure to have bacckups for your esp files.I have backups for my meshes/textures etc so if you plan on a full re-install make sure to have backups to. this way you don't have to download every mod again. I don't know if your issue is my issue but this is what worked for me so good luck and all that stuff.

So.. it probally already exist somewhere but i've been all over player house uploads and ive found many castles and underground homes and armory type houses but i haven't seen one oblivion based home/castle mod. Not saying they don't exist.. i just haven't found one in my search. if they do exist can someone post a few links for me or tell me what keywords to use in my search because "oblivion" keyword basically loads up every mod.. and i've been through a few hours of player home searches.

I recently got into editing tes4 and decided to add a couple things to one of my player homes. Thing is when i add anything to the cell,the kit works fine until i exit out of the kit itself. I load the game and none of the stuff i put into the cell is there. i did this more than once to see if i could catch the problem and i think i did.. Every time i edited the cell,the kit made a duplicate of that cell then put it to the side. This way when i load my game i just load into the original cell with no modifications. I need to know how to save my mods to the original cell and/or stop the kit from duplicating any cell i edit.

Ah i see now. thank you both. this little problem would have halted any progress i wished to make. thanks.

Maybe i wasn't clear withmy first post but.. i am already in the factions window when this is going on. When i said i can only delete their faction,that should hint that i am in the faction window. The problem is there is no drag box and when i double click an existing faction,no box opens,which is what usually happens when i edit fallout 3.

same here. It seems to me that the lower ranks get all the action.. then when you become 2nd in command all you get to do is talk to a statue once a week for a lousy 200g. Not only did it not stop me from killing people.. it forced me to build my own sanctuary and the splintered faction of the black hand now known as "The Black Fist".. because "The Dark Finger" just wasn't cutting it for me..

So.. i've been modding Fo3 for ages and recently got into oblivion and decided to do my own thing. problem is alot of the Npcs i am using are by default..not all that nice..Thing is i can't edit their faction in the CS for some reason. i can only delete and even after deleting i can't add. Someone wanna shed some light fur meh?

First time i played it way back in the day (like a week ago) i figured it would be hell on my computer fx card because i own fallout 3 and couldnt even do anything in the game once i left V101 because my fx card blows. Anyways i load the game up and play it and start doing the jail dungeon but not with hopes up as i know this is a low graphic area made for tutorial.. but when i reached the world map,didnt lag and actually was able to run around..i freaked.. i was happy as hell and angry at the same time.. happy that i could play this awesome game.. and angry because ive known about oblivion for years but passed on it because i figured it wouldn't run on my laptop.. Ive made 3 chars so far. 2 for cuirosity and one for main roleplay and so far (on my main) i've probally put in 14 hours of gameplay and haven't even gone to weynon priory yet..decided to download a couple mods and advance up the dark brotherhood ladder, starwars sith style. I love this game..just wish i had bought it at a way earlier time..

even that little bit of info helps bigtime. Your signature says it all. Yeah i downloaded the contruction kit a few days back and actually got depressed and turned it off..figured instead of modding i'd just download mods and be happy wit hthat..but now i've downloaded mods and want to tweak them...the urge can't be helped lol. Thanks for the info.

I am a long time fallout 3 modder and am familiar with the geck modding tool. The CS for oblivion is similar in interface and most aspects but there are no search options or preview modes and that makes it harder to find the specific items/build kits i am looking for. i was wondering if there was a plugin or something that added these features and if not (probally not) if there was a way to improve upon finding specific items.

I re-installed last night and got it all working again. The game formatted the skeletonbeast file for me and now everything is fixed. although since i'm a major roleplayer.. i will now inact sweet revenge on random IC districts..even though my own faults kept me out of the game.. as a dedicated super villian.. this is my duty When the world is mine and species purification begins.. i will skip yours.. Thanks.

I actually spotted this from another googled post on these forums after reading your last comment.. it's twilight zone irony that you actually posted it helping somone else with skeleton issues. I got impatient and re-installed last night. It seems to have fixed the town CTDs for me. i will probally still download the compatibility mod since it doesn't seem to conflict with anything but stop alot of things from conflicting. thanks for your time.

I recently downloaded one of the custom races(abyssdemon) and since the install i've had problems loading towns and fighting in certian towns as the game crashes to the desktop randomly. On a not so random CTD. Anytime i try to enter Skingrad , weynon priory or bravl(only three i tested) i CTD. This is after i've uninstalled the mod,deleted textures and meshes,loop files. I think the mod directly changed the skeleton files but if i delete those my game probally won't work at all as it replaced original skeleton files. I need to know if i can find the default files anywhere so i can replace the ones i have or if there is a repair i can use to fix my files. i am using the latest patch with shivering isles installed. If anyone knows how to fix/replace the skeleton files or completly replace the _male folder data please reply. I've only been playing this game for a week or so and have become slightly over addicted ..and these CTD's are party poopers. EDIT: i just did some file searching to see if i could spot the problem myself and noticed that the mod installs a file labled "Skeletonbeast" (beth art file). i do not know if this file replaced an original art file or if this is a standalone skeleton file so i can't go about getting rid of it without some help. If anyone knows what this is please answer.

That's what i am thinking. I just don't know how to fix/replace the skeleton files. I know i should have backed them up like a good boy but i was excited about the mod and quickly installed it without backing anything up..which i regret now. I will try deleting the idleanimation folder though i think i went in there earlier and deleted anything to do with the mod. Though now i am remembering that i didn't test out my animations after i did that. This will probally get rid of the animation glitch for me but the big problem is still a problem. If you are anyone else reading knows where i can replace/fix please reply. I've only been playing oblivion for a few weeks now and i am somewhat fixated on the gameplay and these crashes are killin the mood lol. EDIT: Got my animations back to normal. Tried mapping to a different town again and still CTD'ing. Thing is i can fast travel to any part of IC no problem but if i try mapping to one of the smaller towns like bravil or the towns i mentioned in my starting post, i crash right after the load screen finishes. i really don't want to re-install this. i just did some file searching to see if i could spot the problem myself and noticed that the mod installs a file labled "Skeletonbeast" (beth art file). i do not know if this file replaced an original art file or if this is a standalone skeleton file so i can't go about getting rid of it without some help. If anyone knows what this is please answer. EDIT EDIT: (lol) I just decided to backup the file and see what would happen if i ran the game without it. The game crashed before i could load my game. So "Skeletonbeast" must be a required file. It's also however,the skeleton file that is giving me trouble. Abyssdemon doesn't modify the "Skeleton" file,just the "Skeletonbeast" file. so this narrows it down for us.

If you travel just a bit north of IC and stare back at it..that to me is one of the best sights in the game.. i know.. it's the first thing you see when you play the game.. and you see it alot.. but to me it never gets old. so massive and so perfect for eye candy. On a side note,any town i visit where gaurds try to arrest me,fail, and i end up having a 15 minute battle with..instantly becomes my favorite place in oblivion.

On a side note. I loaded a clean save(no mods) from when i first started playing and mapped to weynon only to CTD. Also even though the abyssdemon esp is not active, i still use some of the animation. i need to know how to get rid/replace these animations.

There are no current planets with intelligent life on them. (including Earth). You humans just go about your lives,worrying about stuff on your own planet..last thing we "aliens" need is you humans starting a war on our planet because someones racist against purple people..so watch your star streks and your battlestar galacticas.. cause us other intelligent lifeforms don't frakkin want the extra attention. PS: i totally forgot.. it slipped my mind..Earth is currently in the way of an intersteller highway construction and if it doesn't move in the next 2 years we'll be forced to destroy it. ( hey..people need to get to work) so long and thanks for the fish.

it's obvious how we all die out.. it's staring at you and you don't even realize it... mesmerized by the question of what could happen..everyone flocks to forums and glue their eyes to the computer screen in hope for an answer!.. in hope for a present escape of an unescapable fate! and while waiting..everyone fails to realize the world has stopped without anyone to preserve it..with everyone on the internet waiting for the ultimate bypass of destruction..they indeed ironically..cause their own extinction..Blame karma..blame the clouds...blame Al Gore....but in the end..when everyone has starved themselves in front of their computer..waiting for their internet to come back on...the only person to blame will be yourself.

The entire point of a government is so the guys working for it has more power than the guys dependant of it. As long as you need the governments help,they have a bright smile on their face. is the govt watching us? they have the power to. When i was in the service,we'd get to see all these super detailed sat images of mission areas/perimeters.lot better than a map or drawn images and a "cheater " move that got the job done alot faster. With satellites everywhere no one is safe from privacy..do they use it on us? damn right they do..wasn't that long ago the prez got in trouble. Leaked intel got all over the media and they abused the hell out of it. they were tapping cell phone freqs that belonged to civilians.. they were suspects but still.. it's illegal...but again!! they are the government..they make the rules...they just aren't all that good at covering it up when they break them...

Spending millions of dollars on giant fans to build in the desert is a waste of money and an insult to human intelligence.. sad.. really sad lol..

We exist because one primary instinct of humankind is to survive. it is that same instinct that will most likely be the answer to a future forum thread entitled " Why did the humans disappear?" Unlike other animals,humans are not specialist. we did not adapt to only be good at one thing. we can survive in mostly any climate and work our way around complex obstacles such as food, resource and housing. Much unlike the fish,who has adapted to only the water..and would suffocate if pulled out.. We are here because through nature and climate change,we adapted to survive..and so far.. it's worked out decently... From a different perspective.. those wanting to know if there is a certain purpose for our existance,any special means..I'd say the same thing.. Survival is as special as it gets..We are almost no different than the process of pollenation. we mature as a plant does and when in our prime,we spread our seed around the world to survive us when we pass on..and then that seed reproduces in time.. and so on.. i've always thought,science or religious belief..the meaning of existance is to exist.
