What music is used in the trailer?

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:15 am

I'm really enjoying this mod! :nod: (Didn't get to play it in time to vote).

I just finished level 5... GREAT level, BTW! Very creepy atmosphere! Lots of surprises... very cool! :clap:

One question on that level... is there anything to the "Shopping List"? I thought it odd so I tried to find everything on it thinking that it might lead to something somehow. Never did find the Mead though so I figured the list wasn't there for any special reason. Was it?

TIA

I don't Recall it, So if your able to get to the next level, Probably not, (but Don't quote me on that) B)

I think the shopping list was just generic Oblivion clutter. Glad you're enjoying it! :goodjob:

Okay, thanks. I didn't recall ever seeing one before so I thought it might have been something 'special'.

In area 3 there is a locked door in an area called Halls of Malice, where do I find the key for the locked door to the north?

What music is used in the trailer?

The music is the "Prologue" track from the Lady in the Water Soundtrack, composed by James Newton Howard.

In area 3 there is a locked door in an area called Halls of Malice, where do I find the key for the locked door to the north?

Not 100% sure, but I think this is your solution:

Spoiler

Return the Jester's Skull to the stage and the chest will open. It contains the key to the exit

I'll try that out.

OK so the locked door i was talking about was something different. I was able to get through level 3. But now I'm stuck in an area in level 4.

Spoiler

after I drink the poison and walk away from the burning guy I'm in an area with a locked door and I can't find the key. How do I get out? It's the room that says the skulls can't me removed from the book self.

I am having trouble downloading the mod from the link you provided. I registered at the site. Is it currently down? I'll try again in a little bit. The trailer looks great though.

LOL I never looked at the readme to notice that there are hints to help you out in sections that you could get stuck in. Also level 5 was awesome. That had a great haunted house feel like when I was younger.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:29 am

EDIT: never mind it was answered. Now to figure out what to do.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:23 pm

i see there hasn't been a lot of recent activity here. hope the mod hasn't fallen off the radar. It's very well done and an enjoyable romp. i admit having to read the cheat-sheet a couple of times. I was a little let down by the ending, tho...

Now on to my problem. Some how I got the "Fix Fake Replica magic Item Ability" which gave me the "Fix Fake Magic Item Spell"
which has affected several of my amulets and rings by removing enchantments. http://www.pbase.com/ewaldorph/image/134523538/large.jpg

I picked up the Jester's Scepter and Mask and found that their magical abilities were broken. Later, when I retrieved all my inventory from the final chest I found their enchantments restored. I did not use or equip these items nor have I used the spell.

When I check the console I find that I keep getting the spell added and then continually removed. http://www.pbase.com/ewaldorph/image/134523506/large.jpg

How did I get this and, more to the point, how do I get rid of it without uninstalling the mod?

As an aside, I could drop the Scepter and the mask but the ability remained. Also, when dropping the mask it stuck in mid-air and could no longer be retrieved. It became disabled.

I think by this time of year most Challenge fans are gearing up to see what's next, but always nice to see someone enjoying last year's project :nod:

Post your load order please.

Hard to believe this was just a toss-off. :teehee: Since i didn't see any explanation of that ability in the game or docs and the three enchanted objects seem to be worth having (100% shield is nothing to sneeze at) I would hate to have to jettison the mod :stare:

Maybe if I have a little time I can play with reordering—but i do use BOSS :rock: and Bash. :toughninja:

This mod is truly enourmous, scared me more than once and made me feel even a bit of claustrophobia.

So good job :thumbsup:

So good job :thumbsup:

Actually, I laughed out loud at a couple of points. The screaming girl nearly knocked me out of my chair! (WTF?)
:rofl:

When I got to the hanging gardens I had to disable MMM. My machine is no slouch but I was mobbed and it kept crashing when I got to the lake. (I could probably have handled the spawns but I have three companions and they take a heavy processing toll.)

I really liked the mod and the loot. I just wish I could get those bad scripts fixed :sadvaultboy: .

Welllll...I'm the project lead for Darkness Hollows and I'm trying to help you. A post of your load order may narrow down the trouble, the scripts were supposed to be fixed in version 1.6.

Sorry. No offense intended. I missed your first request for load order (it was late. I was tired.)

I thought you were blowing me off as if the project was just a one-off piece of fluff. I thought it was quite good. I had just never seen a script stuck in a loop like that before.

Here is the recently rebashed load order:

Thanks for looking into this.

None taken, and no this isn't a fluff mod, we will always offer support.

This appears to be a conflict or LO issue. The spells being called are not from Darkness Hollows. According to Google they are from Duke Patrick's Combat Magic II but I don't see that in your LO. Have you recently uninstalled that mod?

Actually I just installed it along with Silvercliff about the same time or concurrently with DH but haven't played it yet (which is why it never came to my mind and I reflexively blamed DH—apologies again.)

It didn't show in the load order because BOSS didn't know what to do with it and dropped it at the end. The LO I included was actually the Bash Patch because it was the easiest to cut and paste, and, of course they didn't show up.

I usually don't install more than one new mod at a time and this is a good reason to go back to that practice. I will play around with it and see what happens and let you know. (Later today... It's getting late and I'm fading.

Thanks again for the detective work. i never thought Google would return something like that.

Google is your friend. I usually just google "Oblivion" and whatever phrase I'm trying to track and I get pretty lucky. Let us know how you make out, good luck :foodndrink:
