ShaqCommando,

 

There are a couple possibilities. First, have you activated ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated?

I don't understand it a jot myself, but you need it so the game recognizes that new textures and meshes are being added by mods.

 

Also, even if you followed the install instructions carefully, it's still possible your meshes or textures are out of place. Make sure the "meshes" folder that comes with the mod is merged with the game's master "meshes" folder inside the Data folder, and the same for "textures" and "sound" folders if they're there (I've been busy so I haven't tried the bike yet, I'm not sure what all is in there). Also check you didn't accidentally put a mod's Data folder inside the game's Data folder - folders with the same name should merge, not stack.

 

Hope that helps, post if that doesn't fix it.

wait, i have the meshes and textures folders...so where do i put them

ShaqCommando,

 

Open the game's Data folder. In that folder are all the .esp files and the assets (meshes, textures, sounds, etc.) folders. If you've installed other mods or unpacked the game's .bsa files, there should probably already be "meshes" and "textures" folders in the Data folder.

 

The important thing to know at this point is whether, on YOUR operating system and computer, dropping two folders of the same name into the same place will a) overwrite the contents of one with the other completely, or b) merge the two folders and add the contents of one to the other. On Vista, you have the option of merging the folders' contents; I'm not sure about other OS.

 

If you can merge folders, then drop the mod's "meshes" folder into the game's Data folder. The mod folder will combine with the meshes folder that's already there. Make sure you don't accidentally drop the mod's meshes folder INTO the game's meshes folder.

 

Now the game has access to the mod's meshes. Do the same with "textures" and any other folders.

 

If you can't merge folders, then open the mod's "meshes" folder and manually move the contents into the game's meshes folder. Do the same for other folders.

 

Let me know if that helps.

Alright, I apologize if I'm causing any burden,

I'm am running window 7 32-bit OS

its basically Xp with Vista settings (or at least from what I've seen)

I'm running the game in windows XP service pack 2 mode.

 

I've installed "Archive Invalidation Invalidated" and activated it,

 

not quite sure what you mean buy unpacking the "games bsa's" (sorry im a noob :/)

 

and last the only textures and meshes folders i have are the ones from the mods

in regards to you not being able to get it working.. well when i first downloaded this mod i had the same issues.. apart from quite a few others you dont have mentioned.

 

To fix this issue, what i did was download "Fallout 3 Edit" is what its called i believe. I dont have the link to it but i know thats what its called. Then you open that rar. file and READ the readme in it.. follow the instructions about creating a merge patch with all the mods you have.. its all in the readme. I use FOSE to start fallout rather then the disc (since its the original game from the disc i have). Ive found it works better to open it with FOSE then normally.

 

After creating the merge just load up your save and it should be gtg.

 

But i have been having an issue, which im gonna make a thread for. I also haven't found anything regarding it yet so i hope its not a copy of a previous thread. Not that i found any about it.. anyways...

 

The issue ive been having is that the menu that you get when you get on the bike (i have fook 2 installed also) gives a list of options not only related to the bike but also to fook 2.

For example you can open one of the options and take any of the armor in the game from this list, same with weapons. Its a list of every weapon that fook 2 has put in the game. Theres also a list of all the mods for the bike, some of the other options it includes relate to increasing the cap of skills (ie small guns to 250 or 300), increasing or decreasing the brightness of the landscape.. The fook 2 i have DL has fellout included in it.

After i set what i wanted i hit back, and exited out of all the menus then hit DONE. But after the menu went away, i tried to move on the bike and it came right back up and kept doin that ever time i exited the menu.

So i dont know if this mod doesnt work well with fook2 or if ive missed something..

 

You can try the merge patch and hopefully it will work for you.
