Equiti

Still having trouble getting it to work, does anyone have any idea? Anyone at all? :(

I am relatively new to using Nifskope and the Construction Set, but over the last few months I have been doing my best to better familiarize myself with modding with these programs. What I am trying to do is essentially combine two simple mods. The first is a mod that adds standalone vanilla black leather armor to the game through meshes, textures, and a single .esp file. The second is a simple leather armor replacer that I use. What I am trying to do is the use the mesh from the replacer mod for the black leather armor mod, but leave the textures. At first I edited the .esp file directly, editing the mesh directory to tell the game to use the replacer mesh, but I realized that by doing that it wouldn't use the textures for the black leather. So I knew I had to use Nifskope to edit the texture paths, and I copied the meshes from the replacer into the standalone mesh folder overwriting the original black leather "cuirass.nif" file. Next I went to "Render > Settings > Rendering" and added the standalone texture folders containing the mod's texture files. In Nifskope the mesh shows the armor with these textures now. After that I checked to see if the replacer had hard-coded texture paths, which it did in different "NiSourceTexture" nodes (with the flower icon next to the texture path). I went ahead and edited these as well, directing Nifskope to use the textures that the black leather armor mod came with. Now, did I do everything correctly? I read all the tutorials and looked through different forums for help, and according to everything I read it has all been done correctly. As I said, even Nifskope shows the mesh using the black leather textures. But for some reason the game is still using the vanilla leather textures? I am not sure what to do, or if I'm missing something.. The .esp is edited to use the new .nif file, the .nif file is edited to be directed to the new textures, and the textures haven't moved. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sorry to bump this, but I seriously need some assistance. Does nobody know how to troubleshoot this..?

I've been making myself mesh packs for shields, weapons, etc. for the Dual Sheath Redux mod using NifSkope, but for some reason there has been one shield that has proved stubborn. The shield I'm trying to make 'OnBack.nif' and 'OnBackClk.nif' meshes for is this simple 'Steel Heater Shield' mod. For shields I go through the normal process of editing the string index (of the 'NifStringExtraData') from 'SHIELD' to 'ShieldBack' and then adjusting the 'NifTriShape' translation values to put it in a good spot on the character's back, but this shield simply won't work. Could it be that it won't work because the shield requires the mod's separate .esp file? I tried placing it above all DSR .esp files in my load order but it still won't work. Can anyone help me get this shield to work with the "On-Back" feature? It would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I started with 0221 as per instructions and put in 0264 to see if it made a difference, which it didn't, and as a result kept it there. To see if this was the issue, I reinstalled 0221 yesterday to see if 0264 was the issue, but nothing was resolved. I know how to follow installation instructions, after all, but I do appreciate your concern. I'm just going to leave "UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true" for ENBoost, because I'm fairly certain that the "Project ENB" is causing this issue. I'll tinker with some other ENBs to see if they yield the same result.

The only weather mod I have is "Climates of Tamriel". I don't understand why when it is raining the ground is dark as it should be, but the sky is SO bright!

Yes, I waited 24 hours and more. Fast traveled, walked around, etc. Still get clear skies during inclement weather. Edit: I also noticed during a snow storm that there was no fog effect. Basically, I could see far off into the distance as if there was no weather at all. So not only do I need my clouds back, but I need my fog back, too. Seeing the other side of the game world perfectly fine during a blizzard is ridiculous.

I recently installed Climates of Tamriel with Project ENB (Realistic setting), but for some reason when it starts to rain or snow the clouds never change. I get pouring rain and lightning on what appears to be a partly cloudy day with the sun shining high in the sky. This simply can't be how the mod was made, can it..? I miss having dark clouds on a rainy day.. this blue skies and downpour nonsense is frustrating. Like I said, I have the latest "Climates of Tamriel" mod with appropriate patches. I have the latest "Project ENB" md and I installed the "Realistic" settings (looks best, in my opinion). I also have ENBseries v0.264. I don't want to uninstall these mods, but I feel I may no longer have a choice. Any help is much appreciated!

So, whenever I am outside--doesn't really matter where--every five seconds or so I get about 2-3 seconds of a huge drop in FPS. I normally can run with decent graphics at 22-25 FPS outdoors and 30-35 indoors. With these lag spikes my FPS goes from 22-25 to 7-9 every few seconds. At first I thought to myself, "Too much grass and trees, I guess." So I went into option and reduced Grass and Tree visibilty distance to nearly 0. It was like walking around with paper trees everywhere. But still, I kept getting these lag spikes. So I got the LowLowPoly Grass mod to see if that worked, and I still have these consistent FPS drops. I installed texture reduction mods, put game setting to medium, then low, installed more mods that reduce texture and LOD detail quality, water quality, tree quality, Combat FPS Booster (made everyone stupid..) but I am STILL getting these spikes. I finally went in and tweaked my .ini file and set the imingrasssize to 120 to thin out the grass as well as many many other things via this guide: http://www.tweakguides.com/Oblivion_8.html, but I can't shake this problem. It is very, very annoying and it becomes difficult at times to go into combat even against one lonely bandit. I'm afraid to do any major quests or to go into an oblivion gate because of what might happen. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, Intel® Core i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz, 4GB RAM, Intel® HD Graphics Card with about 2GB of memory for that. I know it's just some basic specs, but even on the lowest possible settings for this game I am having some major issues. PLEASE someone give me a solution! I want to play my game! EDIT: And before you ask, I have reinstalled this game two times now, and tried running it without any mods as regular vanilla Oblivion.. It is worse without the texture/grass/tree/LOD reducers, but still bad with them. Help much appreciated.

Hello, recently I've been having issues with Oblivion and I'm not sure what caused whether it's a recent mod addition or what. I use Wrye Bash for load order and I am always so careful to make sure the mods I have don't conflict with one another, and I honestly don't have very many. I also use Pinnacle Game Profiler to use controls on an Xbox 360 controller, not sure if it's relevant or not but I want to give as much information as possible. Anyway, how the game crashes is once I load my save game it runs normal for 2-3 minutes, nice and smooth. Then all of a sudden it jumps to my desktop and the game windows itself as if it alt-tabbed for me, and I can't get back in the way I normally do when I switch applications. The music continues to play in the background when I try to "Switch to.." in task manager but it remains windowed and unresponsive. My computer has handled the game perfectly well for the duration of the time that I've played it and I've never had this issue before. I can't even fight a few goblins before it does this. I've tried reloading a new save, starting a new game, fast travelling, running to different locations, caves, etc., but I don't know what is causing it to do this. I would really love some assistance, this is making the game unplayable! I installed BOSS to make sure the mods were in correct load order, and after that is when the game started doing this so I promptly uninstalled it thinking that BOSS and Wrye Bash conflicted when loading the game but it's still doing it. These are my mods in their load order, if there is an issue with them please tell me: Oblivion.esm [sI] All Natural Base.esm Better Cities Resources.esm Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp UOP Vampire Aging & Face Fix.esp Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp DLCHorseArmor.esp DLCHorseArmor - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCOrrery.esp DLCOrrery - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCFrostcrag.esp DLCFrostcrag - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCThievesDen.esp DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch - SSSB.esp DLCThievesDen - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCVileLair.esp DLCVileLair - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCMehrunesRazor.esp DLCMehrunesRazor - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCSpellTomes.esp DLCSpellTomes - Unofficial Patch.esp All Natural.esp All Natural - SI.esp All Natural - Real Lights.esp Knights.esp Knights - Unofficial Patch.esp DLCShiveringIsles.esp PassengerShips_BetterCities.esp Purge Cell Buffers - Loading.esp Realistic_Weighted_Armor.esp all armor and clothing playable.esp Imperial Outpost Wilderness.esp Imperial Outpost Bruma.esp Imperial Outpost Jerall Mtn.esp Imperial Outpost Leyawiin.esp Realistic Weapon weights-3534.esp DLCBattlehornCastle.esp DLCBattlehornCastle - Unofficial Patch.esp moDem's City Life.esp Enhanced Vegetation [110%].esp My Voice Extender.esp Cjsch-Fasterarrows.esp Immersive Interiors.esp Sounds of Cyrodiil.esp Notused_leather.esp RealisticPrices.esp nu_female_player_idle.esp Oblivion_Character_Overhaul.esp Better Cities .esp Better Imperial City.esp Better Imperial City FPS Patch.esp Better Cities Full.esp Better Cities - All Natural.esp Bashed Patch, 0.esp If you need any specs on my computer I'll gladly post them on request.
