slepius Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is it possible to get fallout to run oblivion's esm and bsa files? I've tried replacing the esms and the various bsas. as well as the file list in the FALLOUT.ini and fallout_prefs.ini. This does not seem to work when i try running fallout3.exe and it just crashes to the desktop. Has anyone else tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmayor Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 well let's first look at the point that what you're trying to do is illegal...as you're trying to use one games assets in another (whether it's made by the same poeple or not is irrelevant)... second...why on earth would you try to do this?

Growlf Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Third, Fallout 3 uses completely different .nif files and armatures. 4th, the names of meshes and textures are different from which saved in the Fallout3.esm. The only thing you will get is a crash. But try and tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slepius Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hehe thank you for the replies. @kyosuke1000 - I did this because boredom and curiosity got the better of me :whistling: I've played both Oblivion and Fallout3 and enjoyed them thoroughly. @jmayor - Really?? It's illegal? :blink: Oops i didn't realise it at the point cuz was too excited at the prospect of a interesting experiment. I just got the idea out of the blue since it's the holidays and i was boreded :unsure: Also i was curious hehe. @growlf - Theoretically if i replace fallout3.esm with oblivion.esm while leaving the other bsas unchanged, wouldn't the game recognize the proper archives if i change the essential files and archives list in the inis? However you are right - so far all I'm getting is a crash to desktop :biggrin: If this really is illegal then i guess i'll stop trying :confused: But if it's not.. let me know your ideas on how to get oblivion to run using fallout3.exe :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
