Timihendrix91 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 So i downloaded this weapons mod. unzipped it into the oblivion/data file, and clicked the checkbox for it in the data files menu. I went to the spot I was supposed to go to to buy the weapons, yet the cottage that I was to buy them from wasn't there. Does anyone have any idea as to why it isn't working?

HouseAtlantic Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Every single sword in that mod has scripting on them, no idea why, but i am reluctant to launch that mod now with the vast list i have of mods using scripting. I would try launching the game w/ the esp, saving, then reloading.. if all else fails I have been trying to get around to making an alternate esp for that exact mod and it will work fine after that, I had this mod before with no problems though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaugain Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 When you unzipped it to data files did you get the message to overwrite the texture and meshes files? If not, you may find that in Oblivion file, (or in Data file), you have the mod file with meshes and texture ; in this case just drag those two files into Data file.

Actually, to my surprise, i went into the data folder and the file that i had extracted into it wasn't even there. As I said though, it is an option in the "data files" menu for the oblivion start menu. So I just want to make sure that I'm doing this right. I download the file, I right click it, I go to "7-zip", I click "extract", and for the destination I put the oblivion/data folder. Am I missing anything? I don't think I am, but I'm not the most computer savvy person when it comes to stuff like this, so I would be surprised if I made some stupid mistake, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseAtlantic Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I always double click the download file, this prompts you to a window to where you can see the meshes/textues and esp and drag them to a temporary location, like your desktop. with windows vista, sometimes the UAC windows fails to appear and still blocks files from entering your program files folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaugain Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Well, I'm using WinRar and usually I open the mod zip and drag the 2 files (meshes and textures) and the .esp file one into my C:\Programs\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data.... just to make sure everything goes as expected, ....sort of manual install. The easiest way will be to extract all the file within the zip to a new folder, on desktop for example, or your choice , than, copy / paste those three files mentioned above into Data file ; it will ask you if want to override the original ones....just hit yes ... and everything should be fine. Hope this help :smile: PS: I have this mod installed and it works fine, at least in my case, and I think it's nothing wrong with it unless it conflict with something else, maybe!?!

Gaugain Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I didn't catch the reply from HouseAtlantic, by the time I was writing my response, so he is probably right, I'm using XP-Pro, by the way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timihendrix91 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ok,well I extracted the file onto my desktp ike you guy said. The "textures" and "meshes" files that you mentioned weren't actually files but folders, with a ot of seperate files inside each. So i put all of them and the .esp file into my oblivion/data file, yet it still doesn't work. I know that I mods have worked before with my gam, as I downloaded and used a poison apple cure mod quite a while ago. I disabled it to make sure that that wasn't the cause of this, but of course that didn't work either. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot for your help so far..

HouseAtlantic Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Did you replace the esp of that mod with the one i sent you and try it that way? Make sure it is checked in the load order and that the meshes/textures extracted ok and are in their correct place in the Data folder.. i have no clue why it wouldn't be working for you if fixing those corrections didn't work. have you ever used a mod that requires meshes/textures? are you using windows vista? i had problems with mods on vista with the User Account Controls on.. people often report problems about turning it off, those who have a decent anti-virus have no such problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timihendrix91 Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 ^Yeah I tried that one too. Oh well, it's not a big deal. I downloaded the "The lost spires" mod, and it works fine, so whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
