I downloaded two of the three that you mentioned and the readme's had no mention of editing the oblivion.ini file so I'm not sure what you are referring to. Perhaps you could provide more detail about what you need...

this is what has me a little confused.Alchemy Advanced Configuration File

 

;; The values of the configurable mod settings can be overriden below.

;; This file will be loaded every time Oblivion loads a savegame.

;; If this file is missing or a particular setting is not specified, the setting

;; value stored in the savegame will be used instead.

;; To specify a setting value, uncomment the line below that contains its name by

;; deleting the semicolon(;) preceding the word 'set'. Replace the semicolon

;; to prevent specifying a value.

;; Note that you can tweak nearly all of these settings in-game by enabling

;; the settings menu (PARAM_SHOW_MENU = 1). :confused: Do I do this in game :blink: Or do I create a INI folder in my Oblivion Data folder.

The ini file is NOT in the same place as the mods. It is in a completely different place on your computer than the game. (I have no clue why BethSoft did it this way)

 

Even if you have installed the game to a non default location, Oblivion.ini will still be in the same place - look here:

XP C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\My Documents\My games\Oblivion

Vista & Win7 C:\Users\your user name\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

 

The Oblivion.ini is created the first time you start the game and is only saved when you make the first game save (not when you install) All of the hardware info that Oblivion needs to run the game is also stored in the ini file, so don't change anything if you don't know what it does. The save games folder is also located in the same place.

there you go so what do I do :unsure:

[DRACNAR]

The ini file is NOT in the same place as the mods. It is in a completely different place on your computer than the game. (I have no clue why BethSoft did it this way)

 

Even if you have installed the game to a non default location, Oblivion.ini will still be in the same place - look here:

XP C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\My Documents\My games\Oblivion

Vista & Win7 C:\Users\your user name\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

 

The Oblivion.ini is created the first time you start the game and is only saved when you make the first game save (not when you install) All of the hardware info that Oblivion needs to run the game is also stored in the ini file, so don't change anything if you don't know what it does. The save games folder is also located in the same place.

Hi there, found it,Im still using XP.My question is how do I make these work. Do I leave them in my Data folder :confused: or move them :blink:

[Shadowfen]

there you go so what do I do :unsure:

 

Put the three files in the places that they say that they need to be placed. I suggest that you leave them unchanged and try them out in the game first. Then you can discover what you like (not to mention making sure that they work with all of your other mods) and what you want to change, and then you can start uncommenting out stuff in the files to change them.
