"Posted 14 January 2008 - 07:42 PM i was wondering if anyone could make a mod ..."

It's the one the opposite side of the quay from the one with the ghosts - I'd tell you a name but the merged ships hide each others names so it's a little hard. I took a look in the CS but couldn't make head nor tail of what I was doing in there - too complex for my poor little brain.

A combination of too many mods and application of TNR and Hotter Younger NPCs makes this somewhat skewed, but... (1) Augusta Calida with the above mods - makes her a stunning redhead (2) Lydia - one of the maids added by the Claudia's Little Secret adult mod. (3) the first mate on the pirate vessel in the IC Waterfront. Of course, vanilla Oblivion would change all of those ... luckily I don't run it any more.

I'm no modder, but I vaguely remember something about needing to set a character to be "playable" to get dialogue to work - or is that only for custom races?

Looks good - has a sorta biblical/middle-eastern feel to it

Guardianl - this one? http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=31074 - found it after you posted your comment

I usually run a female character with OOO/MMM.Frans/Warcry/FCOM installed, so I head into the IC, flog my junk to Thoronir who gives the best prices, then clear out the Amazons from Dzonot cave to get the best early-on armor I can get. Takes a while with a level 1 sniper, and I may have to run away a bit, but usually nets a decent bow and some decent armor.

There's apparently a missing quest that Thamriel was going to be a part of, but it never got done in game . Having said that, there's an interesting glitch too - Elragail refers to Thamriel as "He". I have my own theories on that - one a fairly straighforward "wish went wrong" theory, and one rather darker and kinkier.

Have you had a look at http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=31074 - it sounds pretty similar to what you are suggesting

Additional - the Wolven Race - armor style for altered feet. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36924 - look at the images. Is this the way to go for Khajiit feet?

At a guess you are on Vista or Win7? If so, you may be being affected by the dreaded UAC in Windows. Recommended install location for Oblivion is c:\Games\Oblivion, NEVER in Program Files, as Windows stops you from writing data to ini files if they are there. There's a how-to guide for the DVD install Oblivion HERE - steam has one or two quirks such as needed a different .dll for installing OBSE but is otherwise very similar I believe

An obvious double-check - but you HAV got the unofficial patch and unofficial patch supplemental installed? They include a fair number of bug fixes and MAY help (or may not - I haven't digested the entire readmes)

There is one around on certain other sites. It's part of another mod, amd I (having Googled "Oblivion pregnancy mod") don't wish to research further, but you may.

Sounds interesting. You would presumably disable all initial fast travel icone, and then the map would add in (for example) Anvil and surrounding area icons for one purchase. I'd suggest having an underlying sepia tinted map with bare details on, and then each purchased part adds in a coloured, topograhic map with icons to show what you have purchased, and what you have explored yourself. It should also, ideally, add "new maps" for any game mod which comes with a map addon.

Longest fight ever? Probably doesn't really count, but... I had a full FCOM install setup, and had fast-travelled with a level 1 character to Bruma while testing a mod. Ran out to Dragonclaw rock, set in God mode, and was surprised by an ogre colossus. Now, having got OOO/MMM/Frans/Warcry/kitchen sink installed, I'd picked up some handy gas arrows on my way out of the tutorial dungeon (shot a night blade a few times in the dark). Well, the arrow took him down - 500 seconds paralysis Started hacking 450 secs later - no health bar change. Shot another arrow, switched to the level 1 Flash spell - that actually started to nibble away at his health. 8 arrows later, he finally expired. Oh, and just for fun one of those dratted conjurers turned up after a couple of arrows, and he and his imp were blasting it too - when it died they both turned on me instantly - one arrow and >gone< at 450+ secs per arrow, that was about 1 hour 15 minutes targeting a stunned heap to kill it, WITH a "companion" conjurer and summoned imp!

Hi Urrl - great tutorial. You obviously know your way around the whole process, so can you answer me this - why you need to make a new playable race to put this face onto a npc - wouldn't a combination of the techniques used in TNR and NPC Tex Tweak allow you to put the face onto (say) an imperial? Or are there other problems?

If you want to switch between Nehrim and Oblivion, take a look at mTES4 - a teeny biy buggy but VERY useful. I love the feel of Nehrim, and many of the texture overhauls for Oblivion worked with it so the graphics start out at QTP3 level. The quests make you THINK unlike Oblivion in many cases.

Firstly, I suggest you try Oldblivion. That's the best starting point for the nearly impossible task you have set yourself. Also try Omega Drivers to improve your video speeds. hopefully that'll produce SOME improvement.

It's added by later releases of OOO

Now THAT was spooky <cue Twilight Zone music>. As I clicked for the second page, I got a site error. To test the connection, I typed another web address - got a typo, and IT didn't load. Thought I was infected for a moment! All OK now Regarding MS Security Essentials - it MAY slow down your Oblivion (and other games) since by default it scans all processes and all files you open. There's a work-around, but it DOES reduce the security in narrowly defined ways. I have a PDF I picked up with a walkthrough if someone wants a copy to vet it before I post it.

Tried to register on forum. Error on sending email - so cannot log in to send a message to the administrator to SAY that it failed to send an e-mail.

If you search for alternative start, there are several such mods on the Nexus

I have three characters running at the moment, all pretty new Aliona is a cute(ish) red-headed Bosmer - she's a young ranger turned adventurer who loves a good dungeon drawl. She's a chaotic good kind of character, who has her heart in the right place but loathes rules and regulations. Currently clearing the area around the Imperial City to build up a better set of armor and weapons before trying to get to Jauffre. Very much a loner, she'd like a companion to talk to at home, but far prefers to solo dungeon-crawl.(Full FCOM install, plus a few additional quest mods which I hope to start at some point) Astra is a red-headed Dunmer. She's another stealthy type, but somewhat more amoral than aliona, as she only has herself to please. Just left the ship in Sedya Neen (running Morroblivion). Walks-on-Tiptoe is a trial character - a female Argonian using DrakeTheDragon's scripted feet and body mod. Again a stealthy type, but likely to specialise in underwater exploration.

Aha! That sounds like the classic "Windows vista/7 default install path" bug. If you have Vista or 7, uninstall and reinstall in something like c:\Games\Oblivion. That stops the UAC in Vista and 7 making your life almost impossible by blocking access to the files for modification.
