rampag3 Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Alright, so I'm in the cave Frostmourne works great for me no problems. The armor doesn't work so good though. When I killed "Arthas" his whole body was gone and just his head (no helm could be seen), weapon and shield I could see. I killed him and took the armor and it happened to me. I zoomed out and big yellow triangle is there covering my character and in the middle there is a big exclamation mark. / \ Like that. I'm on 1.2.0416. / ! \ /___\
blackmesaadimistrator Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Make sure you put the meshes and textures in the right place. All the meshes and textures that are in the archive (.zip, .rar) should also be in your Oblivion Data's meshes and textures folders.
rampag3 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Alright, when I download the mod I just throw everything into the C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data folder. What am I doing wrong?
blackmesaadimistrator Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 To make sure you put everything in the right folder, follow these steps:1.Open the mod's archive2.Press Extract To, then click ok3.Open your Oblivion Data folder4.Open the unzipped mod folder5.Move the Mod's Textures and Meshes folders to your Oblivion Data folder6.Click yes to all the pop up messages7.Move the Mod's .esp file to your Oblivion Data folder8.Again, click yes to all the pop up messages9.Check the mod in your Oblivion Launcher10.Play Oblivion, and see if the problem is resolved If that still doesn't work, download the file again, and repeat the 10 step process again. It should work, if not Idk. I hope this works. :thumbsup:
rampag3 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 I'm uber happy now. thanks very much! Do I do this with every mod to? Like Bravil Sea Domes/Pyramid Head
blackmesaadimistrator Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Yes, make sure you do this for every mod. I'm glad to hear you got it working. I was happy to help. :biggrin:
RNGUtopian Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 I am late by 7years to this thread, but your 10 step will not work. i renamed textures, meshes etc to textures3 meshes3 etc because i have other mods installed and windows is a pain. How screwed am I? I have reinstalled this mod numerous times, same mf issue.
DrakeTheDragon Posted May 24, 2021 Posted May 24, 2021 What made you "rename" any of the mandatory folders, so now the game doesn't even know the files you installed exist? The 101 of manual install is to "merge" those folders, so what's inside "meshes" goes into "meshes", what's inside "textures" goes into "textures" etc. Don't touch or rename files or folders unless specifically instructed to. There's now records inside your game pointing to resources in paths like "Data/textures/<item-type>/<mod-name>/<item-name>.dds" and in your install they're not where they're searched for.

It worked for my other mods for some reason. Thanks for helping!
