bben46 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Not sure what your problem is. Here is a link to my help files on getting a simple mod from Tesnexus into the game. Check these and see if they help. http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibrary/forum/256092/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedantic Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 the one i am trying to use is imperial legion faction mod alpha and some others i cant quite remember and I seem not to be getting contacted by a guy in dawns servant mod OK, after you have successfully downloaded the file (Mod-14453.rar) you need to 'extract' the .rar file to a temporary folder of your choice. Once the .rar is extracted you will have 4 seperate files instead of a whole host of zipped files. Put the 'Legion Faction Meshes' folder into your Oblivion\Data\Meshes folder. Put the 'Legion Faction Textures' folder into your Oblivion\Data\Textures folder. Put the 'Legion Faction Mod.esp' file in your Oblivion\Data folder. (It's a good idea to move the 'Imperial Legion Faction Mod Alpha - Readme.txt' into the same folder and also read it) Note, this is an alpha mod and issues are to be expected. You should read the comments posted by other individuals, who have also downloaded and installed this particular mod, to get a clearer picture of what to expect from it. Whatever method you use to launch your game you need simply to 'check' your new .esp and you're done. (I bet you already knew that, didn't you - quote from: Iron Eagle) Good luck now. :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffydavid Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 sorry sorry but I know how the esp works its just i cant extract textures and meshes to the folders because they are compressed in BSA format and when i just extract them to data nothing happens :thanks: anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 If the textures and meshes are in .bsa, that is the Bethesda compression method. All .bsa files should be placed directly in the data folder. They do not need to be unzipped to work. The game unzips .bsa files on its own.

pedantic Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I down loaded the file earlier from TESNexus, yesterday in fact. Link to the file I do read before I post random information, there is only .DDS .NIF .ESP and .TXT files included. There is no .BSA file whatsoever. It's a .rar file. I GIVE UP!
