Snake81 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hey all I am really a noob here atm but I am having a lot of problems putting in mods. I have FOMM and have downloaded several of m fave weapon mods like the SCAR and M41A Pulse Rifle from the movie Aliens. However when I put them in my game data base I am able to get them ingame and when I equip them I end up having a reddish aura around my guy and no weapon in hand. When I installed the AR-15 mod I got the rifle then it just went wacky with all sorts of crazy textures. Is there something I need to do beforehand to run the mods? Thanks to anyone for the help and cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need archive invalidation invalidated! for the textures to work, and are you dragging the meshes, textures, etc. into the data folder like you're supposed to? cause if you dont you will get exclamation marks and messed up textures.

Thanks a lot man for the help I didnt have that so am going to install it now, No problem, let me know if it works :thumbsup:. And one more thing, some mods will conflict and cause unwanted results. Happy modding :D, just never go mod happy. Edited March 21, 2011 by somerandomsheepthathops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake81 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Gah lol man it still isnt working with a couple weapon mods I put in the game, There is still a red bubble when I equip the modded weapon. Do I need to start a new game with the mods in maybe? When I load a saved game to try out the mods it says some files dont have downloadable content and do I want to continue, Really strange. ArchiveInvalidation is on my documents and is activated. Does that need to be in my data folder too? Thanks for any help again man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake81 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 OK I got a mod working. Since I am a nub I never activated the mod in FOMM it was just checked and I thought that was all I needed to do. Whew! Now if I can get rolling with this its gonna be a fun time: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2568714User Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 For mods that need Archive Invalidation Invalidated, in FOMM under tools make sure "Archive Invalidation" is checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
