I swear one day I think I noticed that someone created a utility completely separate from the construction set that generated lip files, eliminating the pesky business of reinstalling the old version of TESCS... Or am I delusional? Cuz I can't find anything like it at all, but if it DOES exist could someone kindly point it in my direction? I had successfully extracted all the dialogue from Dragon Age I, took some of Lelianas' dialogue mp3s and saved them over Jaheiras' mp3s from the companion sound sets mod (cuz it sounded super annoying). I generated the lip files in proper .wav format but found that they were far from perfect, I turned the sound way up so the lip file generator could clearly hear it but still - the synching was quite off on a lot of the dialogue, other than that I was surprised at how easy it was... And I think they got deleted or something, my data folder's been through hell lately. PS I made this for personal use only, I imagine if I had released this on tesnexus there would be legal issues as i ripped the dialogue mp3s straight from Dragon Age, heheh.

PROBLEM SOLVED. Damn superfluous audio codecs caused the problem - I should've known about this cuz I've had this problem before - years ago! While downloading sound editors to work on my Leliana companion sound set I must have downloaded a bad codec! This codec reset utility in this link fixed all my problems http://nightmare2013.brashendeavors.net/ Thank you bben, your revert to vanilla method was the key to my success! As a token of my gratitude, I'll let you try out my Leliana companion sound set mod, send me a PM if you're interested.

I've tried this method several times over and found the same results, menu screen - no music - quickly CTDs. I remember updating my sound drivers lately... I didn't think it could be that since I have no problems what so ever with any of my other games, and I also can't find old drivers for my striker 7.1 sound card.... Also I'm trying to find a windows 7 guide on deleting unneeded sound codecs but I'm having some difficulty, if someone has the time could they please link me a guide? Otherwise I'm certain I'll find one eventually, my patience with this is already stretched so thin lol.

I double checked that my game, OBSE, OBMM, wrye bash and python were ALL completely up to date as well as all my cross-mod patches. I'm nowhere near 254 active mods, I was able to merge so many mods once I upgraded wrye bash to archive 285 that I had substantially decreased my active mod count. There were 426 mods in my data folder lol... But cutting the number down to 343 didn't do the trick... I suppose I'll try your revert to vanilla game method once I have the time bben, if only I knew such a method even existed since the last 10 times I've had to start from scratch thanks to problems like this, thank you. ... This so inconveniently happened right after I had perfected my own companion sound set, I decompiled Leliana's voice over dialogue from Dragon Age and quite successfully integrated it into the companion sound sets mod (actually i saved over Jaheira's sound set... because it was so annoying). I even generated the lip synch files for it and everything! And this is why I'm so desperate to get my oblivion back online so I can continue perfecting this project of mine.

Please, everyone - in 6 years of modding I've never encountered something like this before. My install's folder setup is correct, my wrye bash isn't detecting any problems. My only hint is that in the extremely small moment that the menu appears before it CTDs I try to click on a menu option - but when I do it crashes. Again, there's no music in the menu screen but there IS sound... The chance that this is a bash patch or load order problem I believe is very very small, so there may be something wrong with the in game windows (IE save/load menus) OR whatever works the in game music. Here's what I recently updated that may be causing the problem: I updated my devil may combat mod with the new version (SSS.esp, I notice the mod is hidden from public view now, I've disabled it but that did nothing) My UOP supplemental patch is 326, I copied over the .esp with the Frans MOBS 326 patch for it. I've updated my romuska fantasy store with the 3.3 final fixed version (I don't remember if I disabled this so I'll try again if I haven't). And finally, I am NOT running COBL as my stability becomes very compromised when I try to run it. Does ANYONE have any hints for me? Or is everyone who uses FCOM with MMM OOO Frans and Warcry an anti-social e-hermit that don't check the forums whatsoever?

And moving my save files folder didn't work :<

lol no red boxes dude, I am no nub. Also, I like my companions to have a selection of armors to choose from, and I like to mix and match elements from multiple different armors. Corrupt save files can cause CTDs even before getting to the load game menu?? Trying your solution...

Hah, didn't realize it didn't accept notepad files for an attachment... List updated there.

So one day my Oblivion starts up just fine until it gets to the menu screen - then it quickly CTDs. The thing is... It was running JUST FINE the day before without any changes! The only thing I can tell you is that I noticed that the music doesn't play during the small moment that the start menu DOES show up before it CTDs and that's my only clue as to what the problem could possibly BE. I've BOSSed my load order and I've made sure to bash patch everything EXACTLY to how BOSS tells me to. I've made sure all my mods were up to date and gotten rid of the obsolete/incompatible ones. I'm using the MOBS version of francesco's mod and I'm using the MOBS version of the UOP supplemental patch (though one of them is the 326 version and the other is the 325 because I can't find the matching versions as the downloads for them have been discontinued apparently... could this be it?) Is there a common problem about this I'm overlooking? I'm at the end of my rope here, everything I've tried has yielded the same result: the start menu pops up with no sound (but menu sound effects still present) but quickly CTDs...

PROBLEM SOLVED http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28379 <-- I noticed the problems started around the time I installed THIS mod, in the debug and setup menu for this mod is a setting to RESTORE HEAD TRACKING. This mod turned out to be the problem, and also the solution. I guess I should have poked through all the menus hahahah.

Why yes I do have all the zips from everything I've installed, it'll take some time tracking it down since I can't quite remember when my problem started... I installed some big quest mods recently so I'm wondering if one of them disabled the AI from turning their heads with some command I've never heard of, I wish there was a thorough library of every single command in oblivion - if there IS then I haven't found it.

Someone please help, I took out all my meshes and even THAT didn't work! I'm all out of ideas

Topic title pretty much sums it all up, NPCs facial expressions change but their heads dont move... Like when I approach an NPC they don't look at me, it's not a mod problem because I disabled all my mods and tried a fresh game but the problem was still there. I thought it might have been my "look here you" mod or it could be my sexy walks and idles for females mod but if that were the case all I'd have to do is disable them, which I tried already. The only other thing it COULD be at this point is a screwy mesh of some sort? I've practically got a custom animation for everything - and I've installed the better bouncing breasts skeleton. I suppose I could throw out all my custom animations to see if that's the problem but I really don't think it would fix it...

Man.... I had a feeling this would be the only possible solution but I was hoping for another. I made a little progress but now I only seem to CTD upon loading any new area, but I'll try your idea - if only I didn't go through so many mods without noticing the CTDs...

So I've probably been venturing into modding territory that I shouldn't have... Japanese mods. Installing random ones and seeing how they work (because I can't read Japanese even if I wanted to cuz I don't have Japanese text installed) after running into too many problems with them I turned them all off... Only to realize that when I look at some doors and some npcs their names are all strange symbols which can only be explained as my computer failing to interpret Japanese characters - but the CTDs happen when I move to a new area when the pop up that tells me which area I'm now in fails to show up. So my question is - why is it doing this when I have disabled all the Japanese mods and is there a way to revert the vanilla npcs and interior names to english?
