Sarya Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yes, winzip should work. However I believe it doesn't work with 7z format. Try help files offered. I'm sure they'll help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenSwords Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 If you can let me know what didn't work, Maybe I can help, or make the help files clearer. i exported the 7z files into the 7zip software and it unpacked them, i then put the ESP files into the oblivion data file and it did reconize the files when i booted up oblivion and clicked on data files i checked them, but when i went into the game and went to the central statue to find the dagger it was no were to be seen and niether was the other stuff i downloaded, im not sure whats wrong but for some reason it only reconizes BSA files in the game i downloaded a scythe and it reconizes it http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3731 thats the scythe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysus Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 use such a packing tool like winzip/7zp or winrarthe extract ALL files inside into your oblivion/data directory (sometimes you have to move them afterwards as theyre in a nother folder called "mymodsomin" whose content only needs to end up in the data directory) a dagger for example has the following files: blabla.esp --> data directoryblabla.nif --> data/meshes/ directoryblabla.dds and blabla_n.dds --> data/textures directory but make sure they end up in the exact folder as in the archive as the blabla.esp needs to access these files and only looks for them where they belong so most blabla.nifs would end up in a folder like data/meshes/weapons/blabla/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarya Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 You forgot icon files. They give the most headache when you do that manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
