jordazJC Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 So I download mods, do everything the instructions say, download them right, simple, and quick. I have fodd, and make sure they are all checked in data files. But, when I go into the game, when holding a weapon not originally in fo3, it is invisible, and this giant greyish triangle with a red exclamation mark appears where my gun should be. What's going on? I have Vista, so I'm wondering if thats a problem. I've fought with enemies that have the weapon, and it doesn't show up there either, but it shoots. What's going on????

Perhaps the texture/meshes folder is in the wrong place. Perhaps you haven't activated ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated. From what I have read if you use vista do not install Fallout 3 on Program Files. Install it somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGBlank Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Exclamation mark = missing mesh.Meaning you installed it wrong. Probably placed the meshes folder of the mod in the wrong place. I have Vista, so I'm wondering if thats a problem.Vista is always a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordazJC Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well, at least it's a fast computer so the re-installation won't take that long.Thanks for the help buds, I hope it works.I'm re-installing it into the public games area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordazJC Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Re-Installed it to C:\Users\Public\Games and extracted all the files from the unzipped modded weapon, followed the instructions, but there is still no weapon showing up in fo3, just that exclamation mark. I took the meshes out of the meshes folder that came with the file too, and put them in data. I also checked the Fo3 meshes, and I can't seem to find it, but I am wondering why I can't extract the meshes from the mod. I really need help, if someone with vista knows whats going on, It would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragarr Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 You placed them directly into the Data folder? If there was a file structure inside the rar/zip (ie "Meshes\weapons\1handpistol") you need to replicate it inside the Data folder, for you would be "C:\Users\Public\Games\Fallout 3\Data\Meshes\weapons\1handpistol" Also with Vista even installing outside Program Files it is best to run as Admin.
