cannot save construction set files

Post » Thu May 26, 2011 9:56 pm

i have tried making a couple of things in the construction set for morrowind. I then try to save the file, it says it has been saved and i can recall my work in the construction program but i cannot find the file anywhere on my computer when i look for it and when i save directly into 'data files' i can still not load it in morrowind. help would be nice thanks

The esp file should be directly saved in the data file folder. Don't open the esp from the data file, but open it from the CS. Does it appears in the MW launcher?

You're using Vista right? (or possibly W7)

Vista loves to hide things from you.
Make sure you are signed in as Admin, and have Admin access for everything related to Morrowind and the CS.
This should make the files appear in the correct places.
Check the http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=781497 for more info. Most people also change the install location, which helps by-pass some of the Vista problems.

Or just turn your UAC off, if you want.

lol, Me too.
My laptop has Vista so I know some of the problems it can cause.

Sulobaid, if that isn't your solution, let us know so the forum can assist.

That sounds exactly like the Vista problem.
Being Admin, and running the game (or CS) as Admin are two different things.

Changing the default location, or turning off UAC are other easy things to do.

i've been searching the forums for hours, and i finally found one similar to my problem.

i have been fiddling around with the cs interface for a few days, and its been working great, but sometime yesterday(and im not sure what i did)
i did something and now when i try edit my interior mod, it works just like normal in the cs, but when i load it in the launcher no changes that i make are apparent, and in some instances (more than not) a static wall piece that i fooled around with at one point is there sometimes when i load, and not other times.
but regaurdless of what i do, no changes that i make appear when i start to play. (like if i insert a object in the room and place it correctly and save it) and some objects sizes' are changed drasticly(which i didnt do).

some help would be incredible, i need it bad, idk what ive done to my game man... :(
