Deathant2 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I am new to modding, and after following a tutorial to make a companion mod, I tried to test it, but nothing changed. There was no new NPC I placed the NPC in Rindirs Staffs to make sure she wasn't wandering away, then removed wander package altogether.I put some items in there as well, but they didn't appear either. I asked on the sites forum, and was told that it was a good idea to have the 1.2 patch for oblivion and the patch for the cs This brings me to my second problem. When I try to update oblivion to 1.2.0.416, it comes up with the following: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/hakayami/oblivion/sad-face-3.jpg This also occurs whenn I try the shivering isles update. By the way, this is not my image, i found it online, but it says the sameAlso, sorry if this has been posted earlier, i looked at the topic names on the first few pages, none seemed to relate to this problem Could someone help? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those shipped with the updates in. Mine had the Shiv update already, but needed the Oblivion 1.2.0416 patch. I know that some Game of the Year editions released with both exes already updated. The only other possibility is that you're using a no-cd crack. You can check which version of the Oblivion.exe you have by either 1) right clicking on the Oblivion.exe and choosing properties:http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1618/oblivionexeqw0.th.jpg or 2) load the game and the version will be at the bottom left hand corner of the initial loading screen.

bben46 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 If you are using the legal D2D downloaded version the patches at the Bethesda site will not work due to the protection included in the download. I think D2D has a patch on their website. Let me know if they do or not. Also, you need the original DVD in your computer, and The patches are language specific. There are 2 English versions for the Oblivion patch, US & UK (I bet you thought we spoke the same language) You must use the one for your language version. But only one patch for Shivering Isles (maybe sometimes we do speak the same language) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathant2 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have the old version of oblivion, it should need updating.I do not have the game of the year edition.I bought it in New Zealand (if you havn't heard of it its a few hundred kilometres off the coast of Australia) which language version should it need? I recently uninstalled then re-installed a few times, trying different things, and the grass texture seems to have changed to a view of the Imperial City from about 1000 feet up.What caused that? I deleted everything in the data folder, so that I could find out if it was a mod conflicting with the patch, but it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathant2 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Wow I still havn't managed to install the patch, but I just opened up Oblivion, and sawq that it was version 1.2I have no idea how this happened, but if anyone could explain it to me i would appreciate it (it was definitely version 1.0 yesterday) I am still having problems with the grass texture, I would be glad if you could help.Edit: The map changes from place to place, but doesn't show where you are. I think it might be that the mod half installed, enough to make it say 1.2, but not enough for all of the textures to be assinged properly. I havn't tried lots of quests or anything to see if they work, i can't enjoy the game while the ground is a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Yes, I actually do know where NZ is. I have been there, but not long enough to really appreciate it. A layover on a long flight. NZ, along with Australia and most other commonwealth countries, except Canada, use the UK version. Evidently, your attempt at patching was at least partially successful.

Deathant2 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks heaps, bben46, I thought it would be the US version, I seem to remember another game I was buying came from there. I installed the patch and it worked, at least it finished, I havn't had time to try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
