Povuholo Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think that maybe the archiveinvalidation.txt thing should be explained, since there's often more to installing texture mods than extracting stuff to the correct folder. I know that 'read the readme' is the sort of the same, but not every readme has clear instructions... Automatic archiveinvalidation.txt updaterGuide for an alternative archive invalidation method using OBMM (Recommended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povuholo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The mod you downloaded probably has either a .rar, .7z, or .zip extension. These can be opened with WinRAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejake1453 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 thanks a bunch, i'll download as soon as i can. i downloded it and it works, but i downloded a mod that needs to go in to the meshes and textures folders, but in my data folder there are no folders that are titled meshes or textures, only bsm folders that are called that, is this normal? where do i put the mod folders? actually i do have those folders but there only there because i extracted a mod that alows me to play as an imp, but those 2 folders only contain a folder with the imp stuff. Can you please help me? EDIT: Posts merged. Please use the edit button rather than double posting, thanks. - Switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 If you haven't downloaded any other mods that add textures and meshes yet those folders won't be there yet. Just extract the meshes and textures folder in the data folder. If there's a meshes/textures folder already, it will ask if you want to overwrite. Say 'yes'.

tom_mannix Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 hi there, i've had a thorough look through this thread from start to finish today, i have downloaded winRaR from the link you provided and also 7-zip. I've downloaded a few files from http://www.tessource.net/ and i've unzipped them fine, they're all in "Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data" etc, when i load oblivion up, i check the boxes of the mods that i want in the game, yet none of them are working are you able to help? do you need to know which mods i've downloaded? *edit* sorted it now, all downloads were saving as the same file as the TES constructor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namei Lynre Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 umm i kind of need some help ... sorry, i've looked through the other posts but i don't really understand how the modding really works :S i've been trying to download Ren's Beauty Pack, i go to download it and it asks if i want to open it or save it and ive tried both, open just makes another blank internet explorer page thing come up and then closes again within a few seconds, saving it into the Data folder seems to work but when i open the laucher and click on Data Files theres nothing but the Oblivion Master thing or whatever it is. really sorry for my stupid newbness >< hope someone can help me out... thanks :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 At a guess, it's an archive type that you don't have an extractor for. See this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
