Tamujiin Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yo Sup Fellow gamers, Okay First off I love Modding, But i cant get any of them to work that have to do with placing textures and meshes in there respective folders in the Data Folder where My oblivion is installed, I have tried Dling Extreme night sky and Bah! dont work. Also Items and Armor and stuff dont work either, I downloaded the construction set and even tried making my own esp files and texture dds meshes nif ect ect ect dont work. Any assistance would be further apprectiated in the form of another mod maker in the universe with great ideas and alot of time on his hands. If need be known Yes i do use The HORRIBLE! Vista. ( not bad whence you learn the go arounds ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamujiin Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hahaha Thought i would never reply to myself, Hopefully The Admint guys erase this. BUT! what you want to do is MERGE the files. Open up The Data Folder and find the Texture and/or meshes folder in yer mod folder and drag it from there to the oblivion folder, you shoul;d get a message that asks do you want to merge these files Ect. hit yes and the mod should work. DO NOT PUT THE TEXTURE FOLDER IN THE OTHER TEXTURE FOLDER cause that wont work for some reason. Thats how i got my mods to work. hehehehe, If admint must erase this please do guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 That doesn't sound quite right, but if it works it must be. Merging the dds into the textures and the .nif into the meshes does what the unzip file was supposed to do for you Most of the time when I see this problem it is caused by using winzip or some other unzip program to unzip the files into the data folder. this puts all of the .nif and .dds (Mesh & Texture) files into the data but not into the proper subdirectories. (proper path) instead try to use the unzip file the author recommends. Most of the mods are zipped using 7zip. 7zip is free and will work with MOST zipped files - read the directions before using though. Before I started using 7zip (I used Tugzip) sometimes I had this same problem. and I did exactly what you say not to do to. I moved all of the .dds files that were in the wrong place to the textures subdirectory and the .nif to the Meshes. However, sometimes I had to create a new subdir under the Textures or meshes to get it to work properly. 7zip fixed all of these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamujiin Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah I use WinRAR, For Some reason it didnt Do what it was supposed to do so i just manually drag Any meshes folder, Texture folder or sound folder into my oblivion Data file and it asks if i want to merge em and i just say yeah. Since this reply i have quit Downloading Crappy cheat files and went to the big boys. Tonight i will download Kvatch Rebuilt, Midas Magic Spells Aurum And Apohphis Armory of the silver dragon. Last night Was Glenvar Castle ( wich buy the way is nice but! confusing). But Anyway Basically What i should be doing is just merging the Data files Like This ,instead of Each Mesh And Texture Folder. But For Some Redicoulous Reason it Dont Work That way. Now to figure out the TES Construction set. I love making Mods And testing them grueling in Everyway to see if they have anything broken. But i have no team to work with cause i live in the woods so it kinda sucks when you dont have a team of friends that know what you are doing. Or you cant get high speed internet cause of where you live. ( which sucks Dragonballs.......) I will Be Around. For some reason i havent found anybad mods yet. Must be the way i look for em. High Amount of downloads and a high rating and mainly Dling off the top 100.....Anybody got good suggestions for some great mods off the list ill check em out! just keep posting em here!

bben46 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Try Verona House Bloodlines. a large quest with a fantastic house as the reward for completing it. You must have already completed the main game first though. The house comes with a nice village - its more like an estate in that way. lose the winrar and get 7zip, it works much better and doesn't misplace your textures and meshes. Its even available as a free download on Tesnexus here http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
