ButrBiscut Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 XJDHDR made a good suggestion, try using BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Software) to handle your mod load order, in addition to the control you get from Wrye Bash and OBMM. I can tell you right now just looking at your load list that there's a much better way to load all those files. With BOSS you may need to re-order any unrecognized files by hand, but overall you'll get the idea, just be sure to read the documentation in the BOSS file. There's a database update coming for BOSS, and you can use the most recent database (file title: 24 Nov 08) until then. You can open the database (masterlist.txt) and scan through it, you'll get an idea of how BOSS sorts mods and that will give you a good starting point for re-ordering anything BOSS doesn't yet recognize. It also doesn't matter if you're using FCOM or not, in case you end up wondering after reading the documentation. Also, are you running the most recent version of Fran's or an older version? If I were in your shoes I'd make sure I had the most recent Fran's, use BOSS, use WryeBash/OBMM to finalize load order and try things that way.

Johny Obliv Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 I tried to run BOSS but when i opened the file it just dissappeared from the screen without showing if it works. I don't know if it works because my load order hasn't changed. How can i know it works? I'm using francesco's 4,5b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To run the program, you have to double-click on "BOSS.bat". This is a relatively common mistake. If you don't see a text document appear on your screen, your load order hasn't changed.

Johny Obliv Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 When i downloaded BOSS, and unpacked the files, there were only three files. BOSS application, BOSS Ms Dos, and a boss readme. When i double click on BOSS ms dos, a document comes up, but it won't change my load order or something. When i open BOSS application, it just shows a flash and then dissappears again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know the problem here. You have to open BOSS Ms Dos for this application to work properly. If you try opening the BOSS application, you will only waste your time. Does the document which appears when opening BOSS Ms Dos appear long enough for you to copy the contents? If so, can you paste the contents of the doc into your next post? That document should reveal the problem with BOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Obliv Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Uhmm, i think i found my problem. It's pretty stupid actually. I took a printscreen when the message appeared, and i found the problem. I didn't run BOSS from my data folder :wallbash: I'm sorry for this :P One last question. Boss changed my load order so that Knights of the Nine doesn't load last anymore. Can this cause any problems? Because i read something like that on a website.

Can this cause any problems? Because i read something like that on a website. I have read this as well. The website says that "Knights of the Nine" should be loaded near the bottom until you have finished the quest. I also read that if you use the Unofficial Official Mods Patch (which you do seem to have), this problem disappears. Can you try install Francesco's again and then use BOSS to sort Francesco's and see if the game crashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
