Installing FCOM Superpack on fresh Oblivion install, wont start.

[Anthony477]

Okay, for those of you who dont know what FCOM superpack is, its a collection of FCOM and all the overhaul mods with a step by step tutorial on how to install, I followed 90% of the steps carefully and accurately, with the exception of two sections.

 

a) Install these main optimization plugins:

- Streamline v3.1 Beta + Patch (install both).

- Fast Exit v2.0 (copy in "Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion").

- Oblivion Script Optimization v1.0 SI Version (copy in "Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data").

- weOCPS 2009-03-28 (copy in "Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data").

 

I didnt do that simply because it felt like unnecessary work, and if it wasnt running smoothly id go back and install the optimization plugins.

 

b) Open "Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Mopy" 

- Run the file "bash.pyt", say "No" on the pop up. Once opened you'll see the mod list with many colummns, sort the mods by "Modify Date" there should be Oblivion.esm [sI] first and Streamline 3.1.esp last.  

- On the down-left side of the window there is a bar, check for "BOSS", if you hover the cursor on it, it will display "Launch BOSS", click on it and a txt file will open, done.

Always on the down-left bar, there are a green and a red box, if you put the cursor on them, it will appear "OBSE Disabled" and "Auto-Quit Disabled, just check them to enable the OBSE support (this is supposed to be useful when running Oblivion directly from Wrye Bash) and to make Wrye Bash shut down after launching Oblivion.

- Keep pressed the shift key, select all the mods (from the first to the last) then right click on a random mod and check "Mark Mergeable".

- Check all the mods, leave unchecked only the RED ones AND "Mart's Monster Mod – Resized Races.esp".

- Right click on "Basher Patch, 0.esp" select "Rebuild Patch".


Organize Bash Patch options in this way:


•  Alias Mod Names     - DON'T check  

•  Merge Patches       - Check EVERYTING

•  Import Cells        - Check EVERYTING

•  Import Factions     - Check EVERYTING

•  Import Relations    - Check EVERYTING

•  Import Roads        - DON'T check

•  Import Scripts      - Check "Mart's Monster Mod – Hunting & Crafting.esp"

•  Import Sounds       - DON'T check

•  Import Spell Stats  - DON'T check

•  Import Stats        - Check EVERYTING

•  Tweak Assorted:

* Bow R. Fix
* DarNified Books
* Nvidia Fog Fix (only Nvidia)
* Right H. Rings


•  Tweak Clothes       
  
* Gloves Show Rings
* Robes Show Amulets


•  Tweak Names         - DON'T check

* Combat: Recharge Weapons [Disallow]
* Essential NPC Uncnsciusness [30 Seconds]
* Greeting Distance [100]
* Horse Turning Speed [x 2.0]
* Magic: Chamaleon Refraction [Zero]
* Msg: Equip Misc. Item [None]



•  Cobl Catalogs       - Check

•  Cobl Exhaustion     - Check EVERYTING

•  Contents Checker    - Check

•  Leveled Lists       - Check -> Automatic

•  Morph Factions      - DON'T check

•  Power Exhaustion    - DON'T check

•  Race Records        - DON'T check

•  SEWorld Tests       - DON'T check


- Select OK and wait the loading, when it's finished close Bash.

 

Simple problem with that is, when I run bash.py, it opens a command prompt window for a fraction of a second, then nothing happens. Ive attached the entire install tutorial, and I did everything in the guide, but Oblivion crashes on startup, which usually happens, as i remember, when im missing an .esm.

Ive attached the Installation guide to FCOM superpack, so you guys can see exactly what I did. Im running Windows 7 64bit with Oblivion, all DLC, SI, and no other mods other then those included in FCOM. FCOM seems like such an awesome mod but its such a hassle, any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

[AxelDominatoR]

Is there a file called "Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw"? If yes try running it.

 

If you have the same problem (command console opening for a second and quickly closing) then you have a bad installation of Python or Wrye Bash, so it's better if you install them again from their original packages here: Wrye Bash and Python

[Anthony477]

Oh, I fixed Wyre bash not starting up, but I still cant get Oblivion to start. Heres my load order:

[AxelDominatoR]

In Wrye Bash there is a Mod Checker button (near the bottom, to the left of the blue/white question mark button). Could you please copy/paste the result in here?

[Anthony477]

Done

[AxelDominatoR]

Oh, that's not good. It seems like a Wrye Bash problem.

At the Wrye Bash page there is a new version, 285. Try installing it along with the Wrye Python 02, then try to run again the mod checker and tell us the result.

[Anthony477]

Ah, okay. I just wrote over the old Wyre Bash, is that OK? also do I have to reconfigure the bash patch? Anyways I installed 285 and heres what the mod checker says.

Looks like the same thing...

[AxelDominatoR]

Yes, this is strange.

It is just a supposition, but sometimes Oblivion gives problems when run under Vista/7 into the default install folder (problems with UAC). Try to move the Oblivion folder under C:\Games\Oblivion and see if something changes (both with wrye bash and mods issues).

[Anthony477]

Do I have to uninstall/reinstall Oblivion? I just copied the bethesda folder into Games and started OBSE, still nothing. Even with no mods activated but Oblivion.esm...

 

Is there any place I could go to get professional help with people who might be able to help with this? Probably a stupid question but whatever.
