Newbie Help!

[ShatteredLimits7]

I am using an HP Laptop running Windows 7. I am still new to mods and such, but I have gotten them to work with OBSE and OBMM. Now, I want to use mods such as Fran,OOO,MMM,FCOM, and several others. In order to do that effectively I realize that I have to use merged leveled list function of Wrye Bash.

 

I have followed the instructions as best as possible. Downloaded and installed Python 2.5.2, installed wxPython 2.8.7.1, installed Wrye Bash 275 - Self Installer.

 

Now, I have read the readme and looked online on how to fix problems and stuff. This is what I found and what I did:

 

1. Open a command shell (Start: Programs: Accessories: Command Prompt).

2. chdir to the Mopy directory. "chdir" means "change directory". E.g.: chdir C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Mopy

3. Type: c:\python25\python.exe bash.py -d

 

"Doing this will cause any error messages that Bash generates on start to spew to the command shell. This is the bug dump."

"Sometimes the error will be written to a file in the Mopy directory called bash.log. If that file is there, then that's the bug dump. You can open it with any text editor."

 

Well, the file bash.log is there and it is blank. Also when when I type in c:\python25\python.exe bash.py -d, Wrye Bash runs and executes.

 

Wrye Bash only works for me if I use the command prompt and create the bug dump file. The bash.log is created and is blank, but Wyre Bash suddenly comes up and works perfectly. My question is, is there a way to fix this so that I can just click on the Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw and it's shortcut and Wrye Bash work that way?

You should be able to paste the whole line into the "Target" of a shortcut, and it will execute the whole line.

 

For instance: %windir%\system32\javaw.exe -Xmx1024m -jar "c:\Games\Oblivion\Downloads\Utility Mods\TES4 Gecko 15.2\TES4Gecko.jar" is the shortcut to TES4 Gecko that gives it memory parameters.

 

You could also create a .bat file with that line in it, that you could then execute by double-clicking on it.

Thank you so much! It works perfectly now.

 

For those of you who see this and are confused on what exactly to do, this is what I did to fix the problem:

 

1. Right-click your Wrye Bash shortcut.

2. Click Properties

3. Click Shortcut tab

4. Where it says "Target: ", type in:

 

C:\Python25\python.exe bash.py -d "C:\Video Games\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Mopy\Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw"

 

You might need to adjust the file locations as however you saved your files. Make sure to include the -d and the " ".

 

Again, thank you David! :thanks:
