Copying the entire FO3 folder

Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering if anybody knows what my problem might be here. I had to reformat my system, so I copied the entire Fallout 3 folder since I have a ton of modifications I've made myself and I didn't want to lose them. Now, in some places (specifically Rivet City) tons of those red exclamations marks are everywhere, and there are some animations (some holstered pistols, etc.) that display improperly. Is there some .ini or some ought somewhere that I need to redirect to the right place, or is there something else going on here? Thanks for taking the time to help me out!

 

P.S. I wasn't sure of which forum would be appropriate for this, so I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place.

I think just copying the /Data folder in Fallout 3/ folder would have been sufficient.

 

Then you'd only have to had install Fallout 3 + patches and then things like FOSE and FOMM only and then just stick the /Data folder into you're fresh installation. I don't know if you should have copied the fallout 3 settings files in my documents (like the .ini's and so on). Probably not as some of the settings there I think are system specific. But I think some mods do modify the files there like for example pipboy readiues if I'm not mistaken.

 

The red exclamations mean it's missing a model I think. Did you remember to apply archive invalidation?

When I backup my Game I copy the whole Fallout 3 folder plus the INI files from my documents and a few save files.

I have copied this onto a new PC after initially installing the basic F3 game then replacing it with my backup and everything worked fine.

Amend that, I did have a minor error about a windows live driver missing the error was

The Ordinal 5360 could not be located in dynamic link library xlive.dll

 

I asked for help in the forum

Windows Live isn't installed. Rather than install it though, install FOMM and use it to create a fake xlive.dll.

Or download the latest GFWL client http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=128962

 

I used the downloaded client in the end
