Computer can't find my ESP files!!!!!

[McclaudEagle]

I'm just curious, did you install the TES4 Construction Kit into your C:...\Oblivion folder?

[ABVXYzackattack]

poo. don't judge me 4 doing such a retarded move, but i need sum help on another problem.

while i was tinkering around with the files, trying different settings to try to find them, i accidentally made the entire Bethesda Softworks folder "hidden". i know its still there cause all my mods in oblivion and fallout 3 still work, but i can't find them now!! i'm sooooo pissed!!!!!!!!! is there anyway I can reverse that besides restoring to previous settings? (cause that won't work)

[ABVXYzackattack]

wow. it seriously filters out curse words? that's gay

 

Yes, curse words are filtered. Unfortunately there are some people who's vocabulary is so limited they cannot express themselves without them so we try to help them out. Trying to get around the filter is a banning offense - read the rules please.

Oh ya. 2 answer ur question McClaudEagle, ya. I believe I did install it to the Oblivion folder. Why?

[McclaudEagle]

Nothing, I was just wondering.

 

Anyway, to try and find your hidden files, do this:

 

1. Click on Start

2. In the Search bar at the bottom of the start menu, type: Show hidden

3. You should now have a suggestion called: "Show hidden files and folders", click it.

4. There should now be a list of options. Look for "Hidden Files and Folders".

5. There are two options. Click on "show hidden files, folders and drivers".

6. Click Apply, then Ok.

 

The folder you set to hidden should now be visible with a paler looking folder image. To change it back to un-hidden:

 

1. Right click on the folder and click on Properties

2. Click on General

3. At the bottom, untick Hidden and click Apply.

 

This will make the folder visible completely again.

First off, sorry Mr bBen guy. I forgot about the rules. My bad...my bad...

Alright. Now that I fixed my tard move, what do you know about when I run the construction set as an admin, the mod won't show up, but when I dont run it as admin, it does...

[McclaudEagle]

If it only shows up when you have Admin off, then I don't know anything more that can help you.

 

I suggest asking around more, especially on the Chat.

 

Good luck.

[ABVXYzackattack]

Thanks anyways dude. Ya knew more than I did. At least I kinda know the problem now. Do u know any1 who might know more about this?

[McclaudEagle]

I'm afraid I don't. My only suggestion is to look around. Try Google, this forum again and the Chat.

 

Another suggestion is to try the following PC tech forum:

just something im thinking right now..

create a blank.esp in the cs while running it as an admin

save

look for it

if you found it then you need to search for the mirror folder that windows use when you are not executing as an admin

if you found the mirror folder but your esps arent there try to use CTRL+A to select all

now heres the tricky part check the number of files selected it it shows more files(in numbers) than the actual files visible in the folder then your files are set to hidden

so just go to folder options/ view and then just check the show hidden files

if it does not help then i look for another solution so dont worry and dont trow your pc from the roof of your house :biggrin:
