A few problems.

[OleWilliams]

The first thing isn't really a bug or problem, but I really do not like that FCOM changed the guard armor of imperial city guards to be a silver-ish color. I think the textures just don't work well. I raelly want it to go back to the original but not enough to get rid of FCOM ( hell no ). If any one knows a way to change it...

 

Downloaded the loading screens replacement mods, ( normal ones ), and it will show the same vanilla loading screen except with new comments under it, and the position of them changed. It will show this annoying same loading screen around 40% of the time and it is really... really.. really annoying. This has happened to me every time I have ever used this mod on any number of new installs and I am guessing it happens to a lot of people and they just ignore it. But there should be a fix by now, if anyone knows how let me know.

 

Using Deadly Reflex V5 has ALWAYS done this for me on any number of new installs, saves, etc. It never lets me use the dodge, and it never lets me kick, I can use bash keys, behead, skull crush, cut in half, slit throats, stealth attacks, etc, etc, etc, but NEVER can I use the dodge key and NEVER can I kick.

[OleWilliams]

Any ideas?

[OleWilliams]

No one knows anything about it?

[Striker879]

On your first issue, have you tried replacing the textures with ones you do like? Just rename the ones you like to match the ones you want to replace and copy & paste into the appropriate folder created by the mod (overwriting when prompted). I imagine you could do the same with the meshes if the textures you want don't work with the FCOM meshes you don't like. One caveat ... I always keep backups of what I'm overwriting and notes on what I've done. Makes restoring things later (or recreating my changes after an update of a mod) much easier.

[OleWilliams]

I actually ended up backing up all my files after a full clean install of FCOM .... =/

[Striker879]

Good thing hard drive space is cheap (ish). Backups are great, but when you get older you'll learn how valuable notes on what you've done are. I keep 'em right in the folder with the backups so I'll know where to find 'em.

[OleWilliams]

Well I still have the guard textures I know that. Outside the imperial city you will see guards with the regular gear on. They changed what guards the ones inside the city use, and I hate it.

 

The biggest problem here for me though it the loading screens one. I can't explain how annoying it is to have this same god damn loading screen pop up every single time ( close to it ) when you downloaded 1,000 other ones.

[OleWilliams]

no ideas?

[Laiko]

Hi Williams,

 

Let me just confirm something, you have multiple loading screens installed? please link out which replacement mods yours using. Also I believe some mods introduce their own loading screens ie: bartholm(I think).

[OleWilliams]

My original set up was a clean FCOM install. I added in loading screens next. ( Reg, add on , and shivering isles, Regular colors ). Since then it has been showing the same loading screen ( a imperial wearing a elven crown/helmet ) but with new subtitles every time it shows.

 

Here's my LO in case you need it. But it's pretty long now.
