Balakirev Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm having some problems with missing armor meshes to the various cities' guards. So I'm looking for a mod that would replace all the town guard meshes. Alternatively, if I could just open the CAB files on my Oblivion CD--but for some reason, they all report as "damaged" when I try open them. Help with either would be appreciated.

Maigrets Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Are you playing a vanilla game? Or do you already use mods that change guards armour? In this case the files haven't been installed correctly. You can't open the CAB files on the DVD to retrieve files. They need to be installed first so they are extracted to your hard drive in the correct format to play. The game files, ie meshes and textures, sounds etc, are in the BSA's which are installed into your Oblivion\data directory and are highly compressed archives. You can however view, and or extract these using OBMM(Oblivion Mod Manager) or BSA Commander, but if you do make sure you extract them to a directory outside of the game folders. You can't have both the extracted files and the archives in your data folder without causing big problems. This is not recommended unless you know what you're doing. If you're using a vanilla game you might be better off re-installing. Or, if you're using mods post a load order here also using OBMM by going to Import/Export on the right of the main window, then View Load Order. Save the resulting file to a text editor and copy and paste it here. It must be in order of loading rather than an alphabetical list because mods that load last get priority and can change what another mods does. However, in the case of missing meshes from mods, it's usually a user install error and won't be fixed by changing load order. If you remove files added by mods the game should revert to the default anyway, unless your install is messed up for some other reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakirev Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thank you, Maigrets, for that very thorough response. ...and by the way, thank you for your Cats mod. I know you no longer offer it, but I have it from several years ago, and just started up a new character. She couldn't do without Cleo and Echo in her Alchemy Tower!

No problem. :smile: BTW my mods are still available if you check my profile. House cats has been updated as well so it doesn't need a compatibility esp for Better Cities. Plus two new cats. :yes: http://savageartistry.darkbb.com/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
