New Birthsign Image does not Display

[lambtonworm]

I have made a brand new birthsign mod and almost all of it's components are working properly (i.e. I can select my new birthsign from the Chargen screen and the emperor says his bit about my new birthsign.) The abilities and spells all work, except the new image of my birthsign does not display in the chargen menu. I have placed the texture in the menus/menu50/menu80 sections of the data files and it would seem that I adjusted the images for the appropriate resolution size in each one, but it still does not appear in the chargen menu. I have already tried the procedures in the birthsign article in the CS Wiki and it still does not work. I'm at my wits end and need help. I don't know if I did something wrong in the resolution sizes or in the naming of the files, but I am not sure. I am using Gimp to alter the resolution sizes. any ideas would be welcomed.

Try exporting without mip-maps and duplicating the vanilla ones a couple of times and use/test out each hone of them for your own. Still...birth-signs are known to be bugged, hence the reason why almost everyone failed.

Thanks for your help. I tried it without the mip-maps still does not work, but considering the high failure rate of birthsigns you mentioned I'll probably release it without having the image.

Thanks a bunch

I would ask someone who has made a birthsign mod, preferally if they actually got it to work. I tried dealing with that and failed miserably, it didn't even show up in game.

 

God

100+ To pratically everything. Pretty much a cheat birth sign.. If only it worked, that way I don't have to set my stats.

Well i sucessfully did my own birthsign and custom class. At first i did have the issue with image not loading but after i patch my game with Oblivion unofficail patch, it did worked for me.

 

So the important things are as follows:

 

1. Update your game with uop (Unofficial Oblivion Patch).

 

2. Make sure your folders is named correctly as e.g :-

 

Textures\Menus\BirthSign\Birthsign_The Scion.dds

Textures\Menus80\BirthSign\Birthsign_The Scion.dds

Textures\Menus80\Stats\Small_BirthSign\Small_The_Scion.dds

Textures\Menus50\BirthSign\Birthsign_The Scion.dds

Textures\Menus50\Stats\Small_BirthSign\Small_The_Scion.dds

 

Note that "The_Scion" is my file name. Put your own file name in that place.

 

3.Make sure about the Upper and Lower case of the files and folders is named correctly.

 

 

Hoped it works for you too.

Did not work for me. Heck, I've tried every sh*t on the book, including playing around with the upper and lower cases, even changing the name and copied the originals. None worked.

 

Well, to be fair, it DOES work, but just once, and in the player sheet the small icon does not show up

 

Other times, however, it simply is not selectable. It is selectable alright, but the image and text do not appear (loads the last original selected instead) and clicking done will not do anything

 

So, I gave up and edited the original

[Ibne]

I was just like you Raetloz and not only that, i even gone mad with that issue until i patch my game with UOP.

 

Yeah i forget something else, if you want a fully working selectable birthsign/class, create many copies of the birthsign in the TESCS like BirthSignSerpent, BirthSignSerpent01, BirthSignSerpen02, BirthSignSerpen03 etc... create as many as you like.

 

Then test it in game and see what is the one that works and delete those who do not worked.
