Construction Set Saving Problem

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 11:13 am

Hey,

Well as the title says i am having problems saving in the construction set. No matter what i do when i try to save it comes up with 'You must close any open dialogue boxes before saving', when i have NO other boxes open. Its getting quite annoying now, as in workng for an hour on a mod then realizing you cant save it an in way. I'm on windows 7 and im using the newest version of TES CS and the latest unnoffical patches from TESNexus.

Regards,

James.

This might sound like a dumb question, but -- Did something minimize without you noticing? Check the bottom left corner of the CS. I only ask because I've done this before. =P

nope only the main window, object window, cell window and object window are up. unless there is a way of closing the last 3.

Did you install your game in the default Program Files folder?

If you did, you need to run it as Admin. Make a simple change and try saving it instead of working for hours on end and then trying...

I would actually recommend installing the game somewhere else.

The CS seems to have some issues with Win7. I had the same problem, have the game/CS installed outside of Programs Files, tried running it as admin and just about everything else I could think of. Never could get it to work.

The workaround is to go to Documents\My Games\Oblivion, and in your ConstructionSet.ini change bAllowUnsafeSave to 1. You'll have to be careful though that you actually do close all dialogs before saving.
