[Relz] Bananasplit's Better Cities - Thread 34 : IV - Oblivion

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 1:43 pm

This is very odd. I posted a comment on Nexus but will ask/comment here too.

I've downloaded the BSA pack from both Nexus and the Mirror and on both the single compressed file and the linked I get an Orc corrupt file on the Texture.bsa. This is very odd since no one else is complaining about it?

Probably still work as intended but still a bit worrying getting an orc error :cookie:

Ismelda has replied on Nexus. Please don't cross-post the same issue on both forums, it might cause confusion

Didn't know Orcs were involved with archive extraction... but a corrupt Orc could be trouble.

He, I think he means crc error. But as Orcs are often mercenaries, they do often "extract" document archives from various locations. :whistling:

All these rules! Luckily the policemen I met in the entrance when I got home today were not aware of my breach of protocol :hehe:
I will ReDownload. Eh yeah - I don't know why I wrote orc both here and on Nexus :facepalm: It's crc error.

EDIT: ReDownloaded from Megaupload. Extracted with no crc error this time. Funny thing, the bit size was the same on the files so the extraction worked last time too but still gave an error. Thank you for your time. (and yes, I am cross posting again :toughninja: as this is a positive outcome.) END EDIT

Cheers!

Is it safe to merge city plugins (exept bruma and imperial city) together?

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:29 pm

Is it safe to merge city plugins (exept bruma and imperial city) together?

Yes it is. We don't do it for practical purposes so people can easily discard the changes in the IC and use other mods like the original ImpeReal cities for instance.

Be sure to remove the duplicate player notes quest and script (duplicate stuff ends with X's)

Brilliant mod, has become one of my essentials. I was curious though if this was normal. Couldn't find any screens or vids to back me up.

The black things hanging from the roofs. Are they meant to be like that?

Yes they are original meshes for nasty stuff dripping from ceiling. They looks very nasty isn't it?

*got a strange error but has since been resolved. Was not disabling BC esp's while loading OBC which caused doubling issues of buildings and other items.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:31 pm

So has anyone tried using this with Vvardenfell Imports? It adds a new shop to Cheydinhal and I don't see it up there in the list.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:55 pm

I just downloaded the Vvardenfell Imports ESP to test. The shop itself does not conflict, but the guar pen beside it does slightly. It's doubtful that any of the guar will actually appear in the pen as there are no pathgrids for them when using BC. Also BC adds an ornamental bowl within the fence of the pen which looks out of place, and VI adds a vineyard bucket within the fence which is slightly buried and clips with a pillar from BC. Minor conflicts.

Been using both of the merged esp's for a while now of this mod. The amount of work put into this project is amazing. :goodjob:

I've only noticed a few things.

-The traveler's sack in Anvil from Alternative Start by Robert Evrae is clipping in a stack of crates by a cart.
-A part of the Anvil boardwalk is clipping together at the seem slightly near the waterwheel by the dock gate. I'll try and take a screen of it later if you want.
-The lighting on the second floor of The Black Flag Tavern could probably use some adjustment. In the hallway all the lighting seems to be centered on one spot.

Apparently I spend too much time around Anvil...

I believe I know the part of the boardwalk you refer to, and it isn't a clipping issue, it's a bad vanilla mesh issue. You'll find it does that with no mods installed too.

Better Cities is great, but it also makes cities crowded. There are so many objects stuff almost all the streets space that I wonder the residents have enough room to walk...

Good, sounds like you're finding the mod doing exactly what it's meant to do then!

~~Beta Test Request!!!!~~ Closed

Could the brave please step forward and test something for me? It won't take long, only about 5 or 10 minutes, I just need to find out whether this actually works for anyone other than me!

All you need is to have the Better Cities resources archive installed to be able to help, (and for your character to hold at least 1 gold coin/septim) and to download the following:
This file [Link_Removed] (3mb) contains the latest copy of our ESM, plus a new ESP and a single mesh. The mesh is not important for testing, but feel free to install it for completeness if you wish.

Replace the old ESM with this new one, then install and activate the new ESP (named "BCLavaCaveBeta.esp").
Launch the game, and Fast Travel to the Imperial Prison Sewer (where you appeared right at the beginning of the game after exiting the sewers).
On the wooden docks here you should see a door, please use it to travel into a cave.
Once in the cave, you should see in front of you a boat, and to the left of the boat, a switch.
Press the switch, then tell me what happens. No need for exact details, I just want to know whether the scripts correctly trigger (in which case you take a boat ride) or whether they don't correctly trigger (in which case you just stand there).

Can anyone verify if there are known incompatibilities between BC and Giskard's mods?

I am talking about Origin of Mages Guild, The Elder Council etc. - The first post mentions incompatibility with CUO Cities, because the author is known to make dirty edits. Is the author of CUO Cities also Giskard (As these can be found on his website)?

I am specifically talking about the Elder Council mod, which adds stuff in the Imperial CIty...

Would be nice if i could get this mod to work. Tried 7zip and wont work cant extract the files needed. Though i dont know what im doing either.

Selecting yes resulted in the rowboat shifting position from beside the dock to angled partially through the end of the wharf.
Nothing else, no boat ride, sorry.

Sadly, due to the mod author in question, discussion of his work is strongly frowned upon on these boards, due to both his wishes and where such posts/threads usually head. As for the compatibility, the last time I used OMG and TEC they worked with BC, but that was a long time ago.

EDIT: Vargr: boat script also resulted in the skiff at that same position for me.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:09 pm

Good, sounds like you're finding the mod doing exactly what it's meant to do then!

If I were the resident, I would complain about the narrow streets. :lol:

By the way, I found some issue and I'll report it later.

» Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:09 am

I'm trying to install it - I've got all the ESPs I need (I think) but now that I'm at Part I, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

"From the folder "00 Core" copy all three files ("Better Cities .esp", "Better Cities - Meshes.bsa", "Better Cities - Textures.bsa") into the Oblivion\Data\ folder."

I've got a folder called that, but it's in the ESP folder and there's only one esp in it. I can't extract the contents of the resource files because they're unknown file types "001" and "002," specifically. Am I missing a few steps?

Thank you both for testing

This morning I thought of a possible reason why it works for me but not for others. However as usual I thought of it while walking to work, so I now have to wait impatiently for several hours before I can get home and find out.

I can verify that the The Elder Council is compatible, but the latest version of Origin of the Mages Guild is not. The latest version completely overhauls the Arcane University, especially after you've become arch-mage. Recent earlier versions were fully compatible, as I made minor adjustments in BC to ensure this, but the latest versions nullify compatibility. However I believe it is ONLY the Arcane University which conflicts, so you can use all the rest of BC without that District. Load BC after TEC and OMG.

Yes you have. I suggest downloading the full resource file from the Mirror (from the TESNexus page) - saves you the bother of unpacking the two parts of the resource files into one (which is what you have to do, as otherwise the file is bigger than TESNexus allows.)

Or you can follow this helpful guide to unpack them:
http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=203148

Using OBMM to run the OMOD script (after obtaining the single resources file of course) is the easiest way to install the mod.
