Kuraikiba Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Half the textures and meshes have completely gone haywire! Everything looks totally screwed up! All I did was modify this line in oblivion.ini: bAllowScreenshot=0 to bAllowScreenshot=1 I think I had anti-aliasing on. How do I fix it???

Kuraikiba Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Uh-oh. Found out something even worse. I edited the DEFAULT INI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Copy the oblivion.ini from the location where the save games are stored into the Oblivion folder. Make the change to the allowscreenshot entry. Then rename it to Oblivion_default.ini. Now the default and the oblivion.ini should be the same. OR Rename your entire data folder to something like Oldata. Rename your save game folder to something else. Then reinstall. This will install a new Oblivion_default.ini (the one you are not supposed to change.) Suggestion: Make a backup of the entire Oblivion folder when you get it working again. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuraikiba Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Umm, it's still not working. Nothing changed. I do not have the room to do your second option, and it's still not working. I need serious help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuraikiba Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 I seem to find the icons for ANYTHING added by mods is messed up. Whatever is vanilla is fine, but it seems everything mod related is screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Reinstall the game. Depending on how many mods you have, that might be the easiest/fastest route to a functioning game..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuraikiba Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Umm... There is a bit too many mods for that to work. I have over 40. ONLY mod textures and meshes seem to be messed up. What could have done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 if its only mod added stuff, how are they screwed up? Not there? Missing mesh symbols? things of that nature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuraikiba Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 No icon (missing textures), meshes are either pink, black, or missing, distortion... Nothing was like that before I made that ONE change to the ini. Is there ANY way to fix it short of junking all my data and a reinstall? I mean, all I was trying to do was enable screenshots, but I accidentally modded the DEFAULT ini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAubrie Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Did you happen to install any mods that overwrote any of your vanilla textures? My only advice is - if nothing that's been suggested has worked - to back up some of the mods you want to keep (you *have* been keeping extra copies of them in their own folders, right? :) ) and then just uninstall the game completely, deleting your entire Bethesda/Oblivion folder. Then do a fresh reinstall...I'm not an expert by any means but I know files like Archive Invalidation, or altered oblivion.ini files, could possibly continue to mess up the game even after a reinstall, and so can mods like Really Textured Normal Maps for Vanilla or Natural Environments, which overwrite the original vanilla files and (at least on my system, anyway) don't get replaced after a reinstall. I'd installed RTNMfV and it messed up some textures in my house, so I had to figure out which textures those were, open up BSA Commander, and unpack those vanilla textures by hand from the .bsa file and overwrite the ones in my /textures folder. Ugh, confusing drudgery...but it worked. I hope I didn't stray too far from your problem...and if it's in your Oblivion.ini, then just delete that file and reinstall the game, maybe? Hmm.. I know it sucks...but I think just about everyone has to reinstall once in a while...you'll get it fixed, for sure. :) Edited May 21, 2011 by LadyAubrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
