OMOD load orders "assisstance / ideas"

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is out of place but I figure it's best fit in this since I also have a technical question / assistance required if anyone is willing to help. Anyways, I just recently started playing oblivion again and am remembering why it sucked so much of my time away especially after going mod happy on the various sites, but somewhere along the way of my grabbing mods that I liked or thought might be interesting have botched my game. So with a new install and reload of my mods and turning them on one by one through trial and error of trying to get them all to work without any crashing have forgotten the original load order I had been using and can't seem to get it working right. If anyone can give me any assistance on a good load order for the below mod list I would much appreciate it as well as any ideas for other mods I may have over looked to add to my collection. "I mainly prefer minor mods: houses/quests/rare weapons to go spelunking for ^_^"

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this or offers any assistance.

hi helfira, you dont have too many installed yet, but it helps to use BOSS (better oblivion sorting software) which reorders everything for you, and mabye also Wyre Bash which works with BOSS to merge things for better integration, among alotof other things

 

what do you mean about trying to make omod's from plugins?

 

btw theres a Deadly Reflex 6 beta now if you wanto try it, Ive not used 5 so cant tell what the main improvements are

 

also with your map, ive gone for TWCWM over the Elven ones if you wanto check it out

Thanks for the info, Ill def check them out, and as for what I was meaning with the O mod's is somewhere in the read-me "I forget where" it says that you can create an O mod version of a plug-in so that it can be easily removed and reapplied "more specifically for ones that involve re-textures/ new mesh's". It had a bunch of info on writing like a script and other stuff for the mod but "psh" I can't even edit my dark UI .xml configs so I can save my HUD settings let alone script a mod lol...

 

Edit: And I do have more mods or rather "additions" to the regular game space I made myself, but they are varying things like altering the arboretum in the University and other various "personal" tweaks in areas I felt lacking. Hence why I didn't list them because there isn't any way someone else could figure out where it would fit within the list without knowledge of them. :P

so your skill levels medium/high with modding, mines low/medium, but can make most things into omod's if not too complicated. Out of curiosity have you personally installed any of the omod's youve got active, as in click create, add archive/add folder etc, or were they allready omods and just needed activation. btw, most mod instructions dont mention if it can be turned into an omod if its simple enough to go straight the data foder, but those are just as safe to install as an omod (if you like the ability to remove them easily)

"so your skill levels medium/high with modding"

 

Lol, I wish, as far as I know how to use the CS is for adding and creating clones of objects from scratch like empty chests etc and slightly editing loot tables, other then that I just know the basic object placement and things like door scripting for making housing and dungeons, nothing advanced like quests etc, wish I did though...

 

As to the UI settings, yeah I don't get most of it and never mess with it to try and figure it out for fear of breaking it and needing to reinstall my games, I know where the x-y positions are in the xml's but not to which string is connected to which element on the HUD i.e. reticle compass etc... So if anyone else knows how to do that too and wouldn't mind giving some pointers or a link to somewhere that can explain it, I would appreciate it as well, I've Googled till my thumbs bled the letters xml to no avail. :wallbash:

And thanks for the ref downloaded and am loving the new map, The elven one was a bit bright but I think I may need to edit the image of the ap to make some of the writing on the map a bit brighter cause it can be a tiny bit difficult to read at times on some of the road names "I'm a sucker for aesthetics :biggrin: "

Below is a pic of my HUD, also using HUD Status Bars, for DarkUI'd DarN.

This is the hudmainmenu_config.xml if you're interested in comparing settings I've adjusted to the defaults. Then you can modify even further to fit your personal taste.

That's almost exactly how I configure my UI every time I load my game up except everything is based in the lower left corner, so I should only have to modify one of the 2 planes to make it work, thank you very much. Will def make my life a lot easier with editing the xml.
