Good to know.

Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sconce_%28light_fixture%29 not cookie, I thought I knew what I might have been talking about :toughninja:.

Oh, you did, I just wanted to also mention that I love scones. It's seemed very important at the time.

Due to the complex nature of manual installation and the inability of many bright people to complete it successfully, this mod is now only available in OMOD format. Please download and install Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) to install this mod.

Now during the installation, you can choose to have my black DB armor texture or the default purple one. Additionally, you may also choose purple or black when choosing your hood shape & color. Those of you who loved the original armors as they were, rejoice!

Added an Interior Only version for Better Cities users, or those who simply prefer it. This is not ideal compared to a proper patch, but I can't give an ETA on when I could make one. Anyone willing is welcome to, however.


BDBS is about to break 10,000 downloads. Thanks so much for your continued feedback & encouragement - and most of all, for your enjoyment!

Edit: Links help, yeah?

Khettienna, you are amazing. :wub:



*...suddenly remembers that she needs to go endorse "Automagic Bags".*

Ohhhhhh right... I guess I should be getting that svcker out of beta...

:wub:

Thank you for bumping, otherwise I never would have seen this mod. Downloading now.

I hope this doesn't constitute thread necromancy! Just wanna let you guys know that I'm slowly converting my mods to .bsa-type packages for easier installation. As such, I've updated http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25319, and I'll let you all know when I've done the same for Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.

Enjoy!

Khettienna - thank you!

Edit - I would recommend all to read the readme, since you need to rename the .esp file you select. In my hurry I had selected the "complete" version and did not rename the ESP and went I went to Alamo's house all I saw was a front door and a big Yellow icon with the lovely words "WTF? missing mesh". I scratched my head and then went back to make sure the BSA was in the folder and the ESP selected and then re-read the "readme" and found the part about renaming. It was humorous to just see the front door but I am glad the mystery was solved....had I only slowed down to read instead of thinking I was reading. Good work Khettiena as always. Thank you for your modding talents!

Hi Khettienna :wave:
0r anyone else who may be able to help.

I've been trying to install Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary v2.3 omod.

During installation I select the one option "I have Cobl.". Yet when OBMM has finished the installation, it always shows the "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary .esp" has been installed, and not the "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for Cobl .esp".

Any ideas what my problem may be?

I have switched all my other mods from OMODs to BAINs. Does BDBS need to "see" COBL as an omod perhaps? :shrug:

See the post above yours. Apparently they need to be renamed to work properly.

On a similar note... I just installed the OMOD (2.3). I have COBL and OBSE, but I didn't see that option - all I got was "I have COBL," "I have OBSE", or "I have neither" NOT, "I have both". What gives? And can we get some preview shots for the armors, like the shadowed hood?

Check out the OMOD script. It automatically installs the "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for Cobl .esp" and renames it as "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary .esp"

Here is the script text in question:

Case I have Cobl.	CopyPlugin "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for Cobl.esp" "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.esp"	Break

In other words: you should have the correct file, it is just renamed.

Mucho Thanx for the help, guys.

See, look what happens when I don't check the threads daily! :blush:



Actually, the options presented are:

Select "Tell me what mods you have." "I have Cobl." "I have OBSE, but not Cobl." "I don't have Cobl or OBSE."Case I have Cobl.    CopyPlugin "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for Cobl.esp" "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.esp"    BreakCase I have OBSE, but not Cobl.    CopyPlugin "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for OBSE.esp" "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.esp"    BreakCase I don't have Cobl or OBSE.    InstallPlugin "Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.esp"    BreakEndSelect

Because it doesn't matter whether or not you have OBSE, if you have Cobl. At least, not for this mod.

Previews bloat the size of the omod, so I've been avoiding them. The shadowy hoods are intended to work with madmole's mod "Shadowy Hoods", though, so I would think someone interested in them would already know what they looked like. But then, that may not be obvious to someone who has never encountered that mod, so maybe I will look into it, or at least make the dialogue more clear, or something.

Oh. You should probably explain that for dumb people like me.


Yeah... the best way around this is to simply post some screenshots (for all the armors) on the page - I looked there first to see if I could find some, so I could determine which armor/hood I wanted. I love your armor, though.

Major update to Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary posted!

Anyways, enjoy!

Ooh shiny - Grabbing ( and other stuff )

Kept meaning to pop in and mention this, but hey. Better late than never, right?

You've got some additional NPCs who have been added to the dialogue trees for the conversation greetings. Would it be too much to ask if you could change the conditions on those to check for membership in the DarkUnderling faction?

Can do, on it now! :salute:


Edit: You want just conversations/hello, or would you also like the same edit made to the goodbyes and topics?

Just the Hello/Goodbye actually. The ones were you specified your additional NPCs in Cheydinhal. The other topics all look like they're ok.

The Nexus download page has a new plugin for you, to make sure you're covered before I re-upload the whole thing.

Yes, that works perfectly. Thanks, I really appreciate it

Happy to support! :foodndrink:

On that note... update posted!

NEW THIS VERSION (3.01)===================================================Adjusted some dialogue conditions for better compatibility with other DB-related mods.

:lmao:

Khettienna - Check your PMs on nexus

And courtesy of alt3rn1ty, we now have BAIN installers for both Better Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary and Better Abandoned House. Hoo-rah! Thanks, mate! :foodndrink:

Hmm. Your signature needs to be amended to add a link to the exquisite Rustle House. :wub:
