Ratzlab Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 OK - I bought F3 on release and played it to death.......so.......Ive been out of the F3 circuit for a bit, Game completed so way OTT - but finally I went out and got the DLCs (notably Point Lookout - havent tried the others yet !!!) I also see that there is patch 1.6 now - seems to be very cool and a definate performance boost. MY PROBLEM.........I also updated some of me Mods.......STRANGE that the game works perfect except that I could not open the trade window with a merchant ???? OK - So Clean install with new Mods and no overwrite of the old......NOW the merchants Trade screen works but I have now discovered that I cant open Crates, Ammo Boxes or loot bodies - WTF ???? The game makes the click noise and animates the box opening etc but nothing happens and there is no menu screen for what should be in there ?????? I searched the forums but found a lot of mod Jargon and nothing that seems to relate to my issue - so can someone plz help ???? These are the Mods that I run in the load order I use with Timeslips Mod Manager NOTE: Some of these Mods have NO esp - Marked with a star(*)LOAD ORDER LIST 00 - Fallout3.ESM 01 - Eyesaddon02 - KTs Camera Mod03 - Vanity Camera04 - F3 Colour Map (*)05 - F3 Colour Icons (*)06 - Mighty Mouse07 - Moira X3 Caps08 - PipWare UI (*)\09 - Ammo Sorter-End10 - KaBoom11 - Less Bouncy Grenades12 - Quieter Dogmeat (*)13 - Folowers Hire13 - Essential Companions and Caravans14 - Zumbs Darker Sunglasses15 - The Wandering Ranger (Locker)16 - DIM Type3 Body v3.5 (*)17 - DIM Type3 v2 Texture pack (*)18 - DIM Type3 Raider Texture pack (*)19 - DIM Type3 Conversions (*)20 - DIM Type3 Conversions Updated21 - DIM Type3 Addon Clothes Retail22 - Arynns Sexy Leather Dress 23 - DLC-1 Anchorage24 - DLC-2 The Pitt25 - DLC-3 Broken Steel26 - DLC-4 Point Lookout My game was installed Clean - and as I dont like the Windows Live I have put me DLC directly into the Data folder (there is no difference if i install DLC where its supposed to go but a slight lag and crappy windows live messages if i hit the wrong key oooops) This how I installed 1) Load/Install Game from Disk.2) Patch Game with Latest Patch (1.6)3) Install Latest Version of Fallout3 Mod Manager by Timeslip v1.9.4) Drop my complete Mod Data directory (Already prepared in advance - saves time for endless installs or problems) with all the Mods in the main Fallout3 Directory and accept overwrite all.5) Alter the Mod Managers Load order to reflect the list (Drag the files up and down).6) Use the Mod Managers "Toggle Invalidation" Button to get the archive invalidation correct - to enable all the Mods.7) Load up Game and make me settings for Graphics, Hotkeys etc...8) Restart - Play tha Game My Comps a nice PC and can run the game with max settings no problem and my OS is Win XP.....so its very stable So where or what is this problem Im having with Menus ????? WTF Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated................Thx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Must admit, I don't see much problem with the load order. The DLCs may be at the bottom, but FOMM is smart and loads all ESMs first regardless of position, so the only real issue is making sure Fallout3.esm is at the top, which it is.I think the first thing I'd look at is disabling that ammo sorter, deleting pipware's files, and failing that, disabling everything and painstakingly enabling one by one.
