Purple Weapons, Help please.

Notice my weapon isn't purple but it's also silver. A handful of the silver weapons are coming up purple.

I imagine this has to do with some missing files?

I can not remember what mod replaced these files because I got the mods a few months ago.

 

My load order:

Oblivion.esm

Cobl Main.esm

Mart's Monster Mod.esm

Any conflicts here that could cause this?

Do you know which mod replaces the silver weapons? A few of the silver weapons are purple.

I can't play Oblivion until I find out how to fix this. I need immersion and realism to enjoy it. :(

Pink weapons means missing texture or mesh with wrong texture path.

 

Since you didn't specify whether you have tried using various softwares to find the problems, I recommend you to:

 

1. Use Better Oblivion Sorting Software (BOSS)

2. Check for any conflicts with Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM)

 

More professional modders might have a better way to identify the problems. If I were you, I'll try using my own way.

 

1. Create a dummy esp with modified steel weapons in the CS.

2. Use OBMM to detect what conflicts with your dummy esp.

 

That should help you find the problematic mesh.

 

But then I don't use most of the mods in your list, only the official DLCs. Users of those mods will have more experience.

Thats how I found out which mod changes the appearance of my Shadowmere.

Alright.

I've used BOSS to resort my load order.

How do I use OBMM to check for conflicts?

How do I create dummy esp with modified steel weapons... whats CS?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Cs is the Construction Set, a powerful tool for heavy and casual modders alike. It is actually very easy to use, even for a normal gamer.

As for OBMM, after you installed it, open it up. Go to Utilities > New conflict detector. Check if there is any mod with red name.

 

I recommend you to try the OBMM detector first. If that doesn't help, I'll elaborate more about the construction set.

 

Edit: One thing that came up into my mind a while ago. Since you use a lot of replacer, the mod with the missing texture sword might be using a different weapon without touching the original steel. If it is, then using the CS will be futile. Try checking it with the console 1st. Press ~ and click on the weapon mesh (make sure no one is holding it). If the first 2 numbers that appears beside the weapon name is 00 (for example 0000056), then use CS. If its numbered (like a300056), then move onto Beta Comments.

This is a missing texture from some mod. The mod is calling for a particular texture to be applied to the weapons and is not finding that texture where it expects it to be usual place is Oblivion\data\textures\modname

 

You will need to find that mod and reinstall it to fix the purple weapons. First try disabling the mods that make any changes to weapons. If that dosn't work, you may have to completely uninstall those mods (not the game). To do this go into the textures folder and find the subfolders relating to the weapons mods and MOVE them to another folder outside of the Oblivion folder. Once you find the problem mod, you can move the rest back.

 

OR, if you use the optional OMODs feature included in OBMM to install mods, just disable them in the OMOD list, and every part of the mod will be removed - including all texture and mesh files. OMODs make this kind of troubleshooting so much easier.

This worked. I found the problem. Thank you.

As far as the conflicts go with OBMM, is this a big deal? All those reds?

[bben46]

OBMM shows every change in a file as a conflict. Most of them are no problem as changes is what mods do. I would only worry if you see a problem. The conflict list is a good place to track down a particular conflict, but not as an indicator of a problem.

some mods on nexus can help you
