Problems with COBL and Wrye Bash

[Pally60]

Ive been having a few issues with these mods trying to install them today.

 

Since i need the majority if not all of these mods in order to get some of the downloads i want to actualy work ive decided to come here to ask for some help.

 

Installing COBL, it half works. Meaning that i can can select cobl main.esm, and the majority of the esps and the game will run however when i activate MMM-cobl.esp, 000 1.32-cobl.esp, any of the Item interchange.esps, cobl filter late, cobl races - balanced.esp, and cobl silent equip misc.esp the game wont even get to the Bethesda advertisement screen it just starts to run off of OBSE loader then stays at the desktop after the screen flashes. Without those checked, cobl runs fine from what i see in game. I want to use the new frostcrag reborn mod and since i need the cobl esp for it im not sure what to do to get it working properly. I installed everything according to what was said in the readme, including not selecting Cobl filter late.esp when running the game. Do i need Wrye Bash to run the rest of that?

 

As for Wrye Bash and Python...i installed both of them multiple times to different directories each time (the first time being the default placement by the installer) and none of them will even load at all. It gives me the loading circle beside my mouse pointer for about a second then nothing happens at all. Im not getting any error messages, i am unable to create the bug dump from the command prompt either using what the readme told me to type in there. I am completely lost with these two mods. I tried looking for run as admin options in their properties but i am not seeing it anywhere either

 

I am also still having issues with unnecessary violence, being that obmm says its installed correctly with nifscrit and pluggy yet nothing works whatsoever except for the messages in the beginning telling me to select my uv attack, throw and modifier keys. I had posted earlier but only got one reply pertaining that it might be cause with a bug from the UV mod itself not updating to OBSE or OBSE not back dating itself to UV.

 

I tried python in the C: programs folder (default extractiion), desktop, even inside teh wrye bash folder in the c:/programs/bethesda softworks/oblivion/moby folder...nothing wants to run from those two mods.

Actually i seem to have gotten UV to actually funtion without my knowing it, i just tried it and every attack seems to work except some of my items suddenly lose their enchantments...like my heavens wrath curiass and necklace of swords...is this intended?

[Pally60]

Another issue I am having now on top of the cobl and wrye bash problems is with UV enabled I keep getting perfect amber shields in my inventory (I have to keep god mode on most of the time because at one point I looked and I had 120 amber shields) I drop them in crates but they keep restocking in my inventory whenever I attack with UV (I think)

 

Is this a known bug ontop of the enchantments getting taken away?

 

P.S. it is also giving me extra addon item shields, like my black tower shield (had 93 of them in my inventory just now....) so its either amber shields or black tower shields.

I believe COBL Item Interchange wants/needs to be in a "Bashed Patch" to operate properly. Certainly the "Cobl filter late.esp" needs to be.

 

Bashed Patches are a way of combining certain types of mods to eliminate conflicts with ID's and get stuff working together. It is Brilliant. Definitely read up on it and poke around on the Wrye Bash page.

Thats what i heard about wrye bash too, that its brilliant, however after installing everything step by step (python first, then wrye bash) i just cannot get it to even load up or generate any bug reports to find the problem.

[DavidBudreck]

Definitely touchy, but WELL worth it in my opinion.

 

There is a support page here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes4Mod:Wrye_Bash_FAQ

 

And, there is a "Wrye Bash.html" page inside the "Mopy" folder inside your Data folder that has an "If Bash Won't Start" section.

I'm assuming that you are installing the Wrye Python package instead of trying to install some other version of Python. If so, it asks you for the name of a directory to extract it's install packages into - go there after the Python install completes and execute the wxPython installer explicitly.

 

As for directories go, allow Wrye Python to install in its default location - trying to change that one does not quite work. With Wrye Bash, you install/extract that one into your Oblivion directory (where the Oblivion.exe lives). If your Oblivion directory lives somewhere under c:\Program Files (x86) and you have win7 or vista, you will have problems with getting pretty much anything other than vanilla oblivion to work - reinstall oblivion somewhere else like c:\games\oblivion to avoid this.

 

Once you have done this, you may also have to go into the Oblivion/Mopy directory, select the Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw, right click on it and select "Open With..." and "Choose Default Program...". The default program you wish to choose is pythonw.exe in your C:\Python26 directory.

I disabled UAC and reinstalled both things to their default locations and it still does nothing, only thing it did this time was create an oblivion mods folder in the Bethesda Softworks folder (they contain nothing except two blank folders)

 

With uac disabled I have full control so idk, I even selected pythons as wrye launcher default program

Open a command window (cmd.exe) and go to your oblivion\mopy directory and execute "Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw". This should allow you to see any error messages when it tries to execute.

 

EDIT: Also, did you create a bash.ini inside of the Mopy directory (make a copy of bash-default.ini, rename it to bash.ini, and then change the paths listed inside it to match where you have stuff installed)?

 

Second EDIT: Another thing you might try is to set pythonw.exe to "Run as administrator" even though you have UAC turned off.
