MarkInMKUK Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 BOSS is Better Oblivion Sorting Software - it sets the load order of most mods into a known-to-cause-minimal-trouble order by adjusting file dates. You also probably need Wrye Bash (which is a more complex install but really DOES help long-term) to allow you to merge the effects of certain mods to be sure you know what order they are being applied in. When you download BOSS, be sure to update to the latest masterlist.txt - this is updated frequently and should ensure more recent mods are correctly sorted. once run, read the output file and look for errors and warnings, and where possible correct them. I haven't added links because i'm squeezing this into my break at work and don't have time to hunt them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer9 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Okay, thank you. The load order is sorted now and All Natural seems to work correctly now (the weather thing), but the glare is still messed up. When looked at it works normally for half a second and then quickly turns into a dark thing with a white circle in the middle of it which looks rather ugly. Is there a sunglare mod that could be installed on top of that? If yes, then all the problems are solved. :) Edit: I've found a few of them. Will check them out soon and report back.

Telyn Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yay! I'm so glad it is working for you now, archer9. Is you .ini working alright now too? Auriana, it seems I have a lot of the mods included in that overhaul, and they don't amount to 50 or anywhere near 50 .esps, so I wonder what he has in there and if you really need or want all of it. If AWLS is in there, it would explain why a lot of windows wouldn't be crystal clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Yep, AWLS is in there. Oh, and I was just guestimating on .esp's. Most of them are probably just texture packs. I was just giddy when I found an overhaul that included so many great mods that I didn't have to download individually. I was impressed by the list alone. :blush: Here's the list, if you're interested: QTP3 1.3 Full by QarlANB Hunters Moon by aridale24 Hour Arena Alive by WillieSeaCathedral improver mod with chapels by darkninjaproductionsCity Lights - Imperial City by AnachBetter staffs texture by tidus457Better Looking Tools by CeanoClocks of Cyrodiil by WillieSeaDarker regal IC by Marine Okeefe/Cleitanious/Modder 300/ByblosHex (All same person)Fantasy night sky number 1 by RGMage2Look at shrines by mmmpldExtended IC by stootootExtended Skingrad by stootootExtended Chorrel by stootootImpeREAL City - Unique Districts by SilentResidentInitial glow self by creidikiReally AEVWD 1.31 by Arthmoor and BrumbekReally AEVWD SI by Arthmoor and BrumbekBetter letters by CliffwormsCounty names by CliffwormsBook jackets oblivion by DalethBomret's Texture Pack - Shivering Isles V1.0 by BomretImproved doors and flora by miknmel1Improved fruits vegetables and meats by miknmel1Improved trees and flora by miknmel1Improved trees and flora 2 by miknmel1Improved Signs by miknmel1 and Adam GeldersmaLBM weathered direction signs by lennybookFemale Finery Texture Replacer by CalislahnSB IC Palace Tower Lights by sjors boomschorsCrowded roads advanced by MaXiMiUS, BkWyrm13, ShakhDude Wheres My Horse FINAL by scruggsUnofficial All Natural by wrinklyninjaAll Natural by chongliScreenEffects by quetzillaEnhanced Weather by HTFNatural Interiors by WormheartWeather Inside [seasons] 1.2 by vine-auEnhanced Water v20 HD by LprManEnhanced Water v20 HD SI Add-on by halo112358Animated Window Lighting System 5.0.3 by XMarksTheSpot, Brumbek, Ismelda, Dev_Akm, Kivan, Qarn, Slap, ModMan, and TexianHarvest containers by Dejunai ( DEJ, aka Dejaside), mmmpld ( P1D ), XMarksTheSpot ( XMS ), and PhoenixAmon ( PA, aka Daleth) - The TES Modders DenHarvest Flora and Harvest Containers by Quarn and Dejunai - The TES Modders Den1st extra mp3 music pack Battle music by Michikawa, composed by Matti Paalanen2nd extra mp3 music pack Dungeon music by Michikawa, composed by Matti Paalanen3rd extra mp3 music pack Explore music by Michikawa, composed by Matti Paalanen4th extra mp3 music pack Public music by Michikawa, composed by Matti PaalanenSymphony of Violence by MigTheGreat (aka Rathe)Combat Sounds 300 by CleitaniousImproved Bow Sounds by ZombiemoldOblivion Combat Sounds by WaltherAudia Arcanum Sound Overhaul 2.1 by AkiostacieAudia Arcanum Footfalls of Heroism by AkiostacieDarkUI'd DarN 1.6 By Gothic251DarNified UI version 1.3.2 by DarNDarkUI-ified Main Menu Video and Map-Scroll Video by FritzdogDarkUI Loading Screens by DarkbirdyShivering Isles DarkUI Loading Screens by HTF Natural Environments by Max TaelDancer upgrade by XanthanImproved Flora Harvest Fix v1.0 by XerusDistant trees 1.5 (Author unknown)More books teach by lord22Beaming Sunglare by SonicEtherBetter bell sounds by MorbusKafeis better amulet replacer by KafeidKafeis better ring replacer by KafeidMikes clothes replacer by mikegeminiOblivion Cats v02b by tegealLandscape LOD 4096x4096 replacement textures by Blade9722LOD normal maps 4096 compressed by QarlBorder region Landscape LOD replacement textures by Blade9722 Edited April 14, 2011 by AurianaValoria1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telyn Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hmm, I have most of those. Here is what I think is happening. AWLS has many options for window colors and textures. The compiler has probably set those to his own tastes, which may not be yours. It also overwrites many meshes to provide the curtains and shutters and such. What you can do is go to Dunbarrow Cove and check the broken windows there, because at least in my game it does not color those. If they are nice and clear, it is probably working as intended.

AurianaValoria1 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Alright! I'll check it out, ASAP. Thanks for the quick reply! :biggrin: If it is indeed set to personal taste, would it be easy to download AWLS myself and readjust the textures?

Telyn Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 As long as that mod is not merged with others, it should be alright. You will need to look at the load and install orders in the documentation, but I think you should be able to do it. I would recommend avoiding using curtains if you don't want them to turn up on any of the ships. There seem to be some cases in which the curtains may override your ship window choices. I ended up deciding the curtains might not be unreasonable due to all the glare at sea, but it did surprise me when they showed up because I had selected ship windows without curtains. If you prefer most windows to be clear, you may find you don't like AWLS. I love it for what it does to citylights, but it may not be for everyone.
