hellbringer616 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I just got a 60GB SSD, so rather then fill it up with games i am using my 500GB RAID0 array to use for program files. However, since Users is still on C: games still look there for their saves, no big deal, But OBMM doesn't see the oblivion.ini file. because it's on X: instead of C: with the Users folder.. Is there any way i can change it? cause i'd love to play Oblivion, But i don't want it on my SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygfbv Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Uninstall OBMM and reinstall it, I have OBMM on a different partition too and it works fine. Point it to the right dir when installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbringer616 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Same error, Pointing it to X: where Oblivion is installed. Still getting the same error about being unable to load .bsa lists, and a missing oblivion.ini EDIT: it says when i try to use archive invalidation "failed to unregister BSA ..\obmm\BSARedirection.bsa because the [archive] section could not be found in Oblivion.ini" Edited September 10, 2011 by hellbringer616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Many problem after a reinstall are caused by entries placed in the Windows Registry the first time that you install the game that are NOT removed by the game uninstall. This is especially true when you reinstall to a different location. I don't remember any users who have tried this with a SSD yet, so please let me know how this turns out if you try it. :thumbsup: Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the WIKI section of the Nexushttp://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Oblivion_reinstall_procedure It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.

MotoSxorpio Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 You can change OBMM's two directories in the settings, one for temp files (bsa extraction, etc) one for OBMM's omod directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbringer616 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 @benn64: No luck. It was installed to X: the first time i installed it, the second time it was no different. @motosxorpio: Thats just for temp files. I am trying to tell OBMM that only the saves folder is located in c: instead of x:, is there a way i can just change oblivions save directory? cause if i can move that to x: then i'll be fine.

nosisab Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm not sure if I follow what is the problem, the game uses the Documents folder under /User to store the inis and saves... just move your savegames to there and make backups on X. If for any reason you want your original ini files there, move or copy them there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for any reason you want your original ini files there, move or copy them there too. The problem is (i believe) i am getting an error because i have Oblivion and OBMM installed on X:, and the save games and .ini files are on C:\ which OBMM can't find. And this gives me the .bsa error. Note however. i just copied the files (and path) to X: thinking it would work, and didn't... any other ideas?

bben46 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 When you 'just copy' the files to a new location, you lose the registry links put in when the game is installed. That is why I specifically say to run a registry cleaner before reinstalling - to clear out those no longer valid registry links that point to the wrong place. It doesn't matter where you install to, the installer still places the save games and ini file in the user folder of the user who is installing the game. If you were to move the user folder before installing, It should be able to find it in the new place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbringer616 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Can't actually move the real users folder without reinstalling windows (or recreating my profile) so in short i'm basically screwed? As i said the reg links should be valid as i first installed obmm to X: with oblivion. So that is set up correctly. I'll monkey with the registry and see if i can get it working Can't find reg entries that would point it to different locations. is there a .ini file i could edit?
