Midas Oblivion Portal

Yes. Outside. Otherwise I get message, "Must be outside to use this" I always go to the overworld cell.

Ok, did ya do a manual install or use the Oblivion Mod Manager? This one link seems to work fine. If ya wanna download that and OBMM I can walk ya thru how to install it real easily.

[CredibleJoe]

I did a manual install. I just replaced the .esm and .bsa (or whatever) magic files, which I think is the source of the problem. This mod manager seems cool, so a walk through would be appreciated.

[Valkyrie]

KK download that and install as directed. I type a quick walk thru of how to use it.

Ok here we go....

 

Go to your Oblivion/Data folder and delete the old Midas Magic esp file.

Start your OBMM, on the left side of it you will see your data esp's just like when you start the game. Go ahead and check any you normally use.

Now open the zip file you downloaded at the link I gave ya for the mod. Inside will be an OMOD file. Stick that in you Oblivian/OBMM/Mods folder then click on it.

That will wake up Mr. OBMM and he will install the mod for you.

In the OBMM right side box you will now see a green, blue or red square with Midas Magic next to it. Highlight it.

Then on the bottom click "activate"

Being that you already had that mod installed you will get a message somewhere about being warned about files it is going to overwrite, click no to all.

It may take a minute or two but when its done close the OBMM.

 

Start Oblivion as usual and go to the data file part and check the box next to Midas Magic.

 

All done :wacko:

....Bummer, it didn't work. Something must be wrong with the normal Oblivion codes. That mod manager is pretty helpful, though. In any case, I'm still getting the 'This door leads nowhere' message.

[Valkyrie]

What the.... Imma dig around in the editor abit. I wonder if load order can effect that... You can download this and run it if ya want link It straightens out your load order.

[Valkyrie]

Yeah I would try that. Cause it works for me and I downloaded the same mod you did.

I am not surprised that you encountered a problem with the Midas Oblivion gate. I ran into a weird bug too. I know my version is not the newest, but I am not sure how many updates there have been since I downloaded.

 

I went into an ordinary Oblivion gate by Skingrad. While inside, I noticed a second Oblivion gate in the worldspace. I fought my way over to it, and went in. I ended up in the Midas stuff, and exited out into Midas's basement in the IC Arcane University area.
