pueojit Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I need to use Archive Invalidation in order to get Qarl's Texture Pack to work but no matter what I do I can't get it to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 For the Steam version of the game you also need to reset the BSA dates back to original (Steam changed all the dates, thus breaking archive invalidation for all Steam users). You can either use Oblivion Mod Manager (Utilities -> Archive Invalidation -> BSA Redirection -> click on Reset BSA Timestamps -> click on Update Now) or a file date changing utility like File Date Changer 1.61 (change the year to 2006).

IkeCoast Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 And above all do not download and install any third-party "Archive Invalidation mod" nor the ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.txt file. Use OBMM or NMM (if NMM allows the Reset BSA Timestamps). Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueojit Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 That still didn't help. I've gotten it to work a while ago but I don't remember what I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Actually the BOSS/Wrye Bash combo also takes care of the BSA dates as well as BSA Redirection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Which method ... OBMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueojit Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Which method ... OBMM?Yes, OBMM since I am using the OMOD of Qarl's Texture Pack Edited March 22, 2015 by pueojit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkeCoast Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Then there's no reason why OBMM Archive Invalidation wouldn't work. Does Qarl's Texture Pack mention some specific setting for AI? If not, make sure you don't change any of the default values for BSA Redirection, click Reset BSA Timestamps, then Update Now, and once the "Done!" message appears, close the Archive Invalidation window and start the game. If it still doesn't work, then the issue is not Archive Invalidation. Have you any Body Replacer installed? If the body replacer works right, then Archive Invalidation is indeed working. Cheers!

pueojit Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I did the specific settings and BSA Redirection and got nothing. I have the FCOM install, optimized distant land and Oblivion Stutter Remover. Is there an issue with these that's causing AI to not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkeCoast Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think not. Check your body replacer, have a look at how your character looks when nude. If all the body and face textures show properly, Archive Invalidation is working. Archive Invalidation works for all the texture replacers or does not work for any. The conflict is on Qarl's Texture Pack, something is preventing its textures to work. I suggest you uninstalling it and reinstalling again. If it comes with an esp file (I don't know), be sure to put it as low in your load order as possible, and check your Bashed Patch (if any). Cheers!
