Diano Armor 2 mod

[Balkhan1]

Is anyone familiar with NPR's Diano Armor 2 mod?

 

When installing (omod) you get the "esp files in subdirectories" "packed in a non standard way" message.

 

And the readme says "Please overwrite File because same File though the superscription message appears."

 

Can anyone tell me how to install this mod?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: what is the best way to see what a mod conflicts with?

The message would be correct.

I always advocate studying the read me, and folder structure of a mod

rather than the quick and "easy" - extract to your Oblivion folder, which,

even when it works, often leaves your game cluttered with unnecessary files.

ie. - jpg's and read me's. - When it doesn't work it leaves you scratching your head.

It is far better to extract the mod to a special folder outside the game and then install

the mod from there, and save the Zip - you may need it later, and it may become unavailable.

 

So look at the mod - find the esp and place it where all the other esp's are.

Then if the mod also has sub-folders that have their own name (a good way to package

for easy removal and trouble shooting) then be sure that sub-folder is placed in the

appropriate main folder. ie. - Meshes/(this mod folder name).

OK but I was under the impression that if I just manually install it can cause conflicts (obmm checks conflicts before install). I don't know how to check for conflicts myself and am afraid it will screw up my data folder. Don't want to install the data folder again!

O.K. - I think I am getting the picture.

Just noticed your name on both posts.

If the mods work then don't worry about the conflicts.

Most conflicts are not a problem. It is confusing terminology.

Read the section in OBMM in relation to this. (It may be in the read me or in the program)

 

EDIT - Always manual install
