Mods not working

[Duney]

Hi,

 

before I uninstalled and reinstalled Oblivion, Wrye Bash, Python and BOSS worked perfectly, before I started using Wrye I used OBMM.

But after I reinstalled everything Wrye doesn't work. I've tried different versions but none of them seems to work. So I tried OBMM again, it does show the mods and the .esm and .esp. But they don't work in Oblivion.

Anyone who can help me with this or have any suggestions?

I suggest that you remove everything that has something to do with wrye bash first, the Python MSI, the wxPython libraries and any other applications that use them.

Then you need to find stable(mostly) versions of Python that can run on your OS. That also depends on your OS you are currently using, cause you cant install just any version of Python on any OS, mostly because of the different bit versions of it(32/64). Now according to that, DL and install the according version of Python on your pc, the link is here.

When you manage to find the matching versions of both the MSI and the WX libraries, wrye bash wont be a big deal anymore, and dont forget to install the runtime library of C++ before everythin i just said, if it isnt allready on your pc.

Reboot after every install you make, then try to install wrye bash. If you have any more questions regarding to this, folks are always around to help.

The most issues about Python and wrye bash are that the single versions of each applications are not matching the same numbers (at least i think that this is causing the most trouble, but it could be something else too)!

I hope this was somewhat useful for you and everyone else who has similar problems with python, wrye bash and anything regarding to them.

Stay tuned.

Whoa Lexx. You're way over-complicating the whole Python thing. It's really as simple as following the instructions on the Wrye Bash page. There is a package, Wrye Python 03a, that includes everything you need as far as Python is concerned. No need to stumble around with this and that version, or what OS you have, etc... Just follow the instructions for Wrye Bash, and it's real simple.

 

Below is some more information and a step by step installation procedure.

Well first, what directory did you re-install Oblivion to? If you installed to a protected directory, such as Program Files, that's likely causing issues or will cause issues in the future.

File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\

Bad idea to install Oblivion and mods there. You'll only have issues with mods and utilities due to UAC. UAC doesn't like it when files are altered in anyway and sees this as a security threat. This is why you should always install Oblivion outside of Program Files to a directory such as <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. Follow Bben's Installation Procedure to reinstall outside of a protected directory. In all likelihood this alone will solve any issues you have and prevent weird issues from happening in the future.

 

Upon reinstalltion you need to ensure you properly install Wrye Bash and the Python Libraries. Proper procedure is as follows.

 

1. Go to Control Panel and remove anything with the word Python in it.
   
2. Next, uninstall Wrye Bash and delete the Mopy folder. If you used the installer version you should have an uninstaller as well.
   
3. After you have removed everything related to Python and Wrye Bash it's time to reinstall, properly.
   
4. Install WryePython03a from the Wrye Bash page here on TESNexus
   
5. Install Wrye Bash 275 from the Self-Installer
   
6. Update to Wrye Bash 287 by overwriting the Oblivion\Mopy folder.
   
7. Finally, Update to Wrye Bash 290 by again overwriting the Mopy folder.
   
8. Go to your Oblivion Mopy folder and create a shortcut for Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw and send to desktop.
   
9. You're done! Double click the shortcut and Wrye Bash should launch and you're good to go.
   

 

Wrye Bash v291 will be released as a full Self-Installer version and will eliminate many of the above steps. It's currently in BETA and it's working very well, I've had virtually no problems with v291. The full release to the public should happen in the near future so keep your eyes open for it.

 

The Wrye Bash Pictorial Guide for Newbies is also an excellent way to get your hands dirty with Wrye Bash. Check it out!

 

If Wrye Bash fails to start or you are still having issues, first check in your Oblivion\Mopy folder for a pidfile.tmp. If that file is present and Wrye Bash is not running, delete it. Then try to start Wrye Bash again. If that fails you need to post the bug dump information in the Official Thread @ BethSoft for someone to look over.
