Quarls Texture Pack 3 file not extracting

[R0NiN86]

Downloaded Qarls Texture Pack 3 mod but having problems extracting the qarltp3.exe in the archive. I've tried using both Winrar and 7zip but keep getting back "unsupported format" From what I could understand in the readme notes is the .exe supposed to be a self extracting 7z file? Is there some other process I'm missing?

 

I downloaded it from a www.ausgamers.com mirror. Just hoping the file isn't corrupted. I saw multiple people having the same issue in the comments listed on the file planet link but no solutions :(

Ok your right about the Self file Extracting. and when it extracts a little file location field comes up and then it will have a "Extract to" and when i click it it seems to load but it doesnt appear in the game. :confused: so anyways to answer yor Question. Yes it is a self Extract Executable file.

I use Qarl's Texture Pack 3 Redimized (Reduced and Optimized) and I got it by following this link to Planet Elder Scrolls, but there are other mirrors. This page also has links to other texture replacers, LOD's and help and info.

Don't think "Reduced" means loss of quality. The files have all been painstakingly optimized and I can tell you the game looks photographic with it installed.

 

Make sure to get any patches also.

 

 

If you have the bandwidth to download it again you are better off getting the manual install version and making an OMOD of it.

It takes awhile so be patient and let OBMM do it's work. It was an hour and a half for my computer which is fairly fast and considering the number of files and the size that's pretty reasonable. I thought so anyway.

 

Doing it this way is better than an exe installer since you're going to need OBMM anyway and it makes it easier to remove if necessary. The exe file won't revert your textures back to vanilla if you have to remove it for example, but OBMM will if you follow the instructions.
