Adding birthsigns to Oblivion successfully


Squeakurs

Recommended Posts

I am working on a mod that consists of adding 3 birthsigns to the game. I have completely set up the birthsigns, including graphics, description, and the abilities.

 

My problem is whenever I go into the game to use the birthsign, the names appear on the list however they cannot be selected and their graphic/description doesn't appear. I was wondering if there is some sort of bug fix for this....

 

I have been to several different forums and so far have recieved two replies. One gave me this link, even though I said I had already visited it:

 

http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Birthsigns

 

The other reply was "HAY THAR!"... :confused:

 

I love the CSWiki site and have used it to the fullest, but this bug fix just isn't working for me. I have tried this method several times and had several copies each try, however I cannot seem to get it to work properly. Is there any other method to getting around this? Has anyone done something different to get birthsigns to work? If this is the only bug fix, then I will keep trying it.

 

:thanks: in advance.

This may require several tries or more than three copies.

That is likely the only way to get this working. Custom birth signs have been broken since this game came out. As a result, very few mods make use of them. As you are probably aware, you have to go though alot of hassle to add something which only plays some role early on, and which the player can only decide upon once. If your mod has other content, people playing your mod may not even be aware that you had added them.

Dang, I was hoping someone wouldn't say that... oh well lol. That's what I figured from the start, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask around. Thanks!

EDIT: ACK! My internet freaked out and posted this twice. Sorry!

I know this thread is pretty old but I was wondering if you had any success with this. I bought Oblivion when it first came out(on dvd) and never had a problem adding a couple of birthsigns then. I bought Skyrim through Steam earlier this year(and got Morrowind & Oblivion GOTY editions with it) and now can't seem to get it to work. Actually I have had quite a few problems getting some mods to work with the Steam edition but usually find a workaround or accidentally got them to work. My dvd player wont load the Oblivion dvd otherwise I would just intall that way but, oh well.

As a note of etiquette, its generally better to make a new thread, instead of bumping one last posted in over three years ago.

 

Regarding the situation at hand, I know there are a number of mods that modify existing birthsigns, but I don't know if a workaround for the problems with adding birthsigns was ever found.
