Cant select objects in the CS.

Post » Wed Dec 30, 2009 9:09 pm

hey, the other day i was making some random-crap in the CS, got a wee bit frustrated and grabbed the mouse and clicked and dragged it all around the CS tabs clicking crazily,
and then i couldn't select the objects anymore.. at all
i shut down the CS, and launched it again yesterday (after a 5 day long brake)
still couldn't select objects. so i went to a vanilla cell (to test), i could select everything.
i went back to my cells and i could select objects again, but after awhile it stopped working!

but now 1 of my cells works like a normal cell!

wtf's going on?

The CS has stopped doing a little thing or two for me, I think two separate times, and I had to uninstall it, keep the mods, and reinstall it.
It worked for me, and I don't know why mine stopped doing whatever it was supposed to do.
And if this doesn't work, good luck getting more advice from out here in Endsville.

Come on now, show the CS forum some love. While this isn't the liveliest of places, posting questions belonging here into the mods forum only furthers the problem.

On topic, I've heard of similar issues happening when objects' positions in a cell become corrupt in some manner. Try opening your mod with the Enchanted Editor and taking a look at the positions of object references in your cell. If they are noticeably off, try changing them to some viable value.

I had a similar problem recently http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1171439-cant-move-objects-in-render-window/. While I could "select" an object, i couldn't do anything with it (rotate, edit etc) outside of delete or add. Non "my mod" cells worked just fine.

It's not all that bad. :confused: Just make sure to remove any mods you have in the Morrowind folders before reinstalling.

reinstalled, nothing happened, put the ESP in my "mod-testing" game file, still doesn't work

time to try that other way, though, i did delete ALL THE OBJECT I COULD SEE, and it didn't work..
