Deadly Reflexes trouble

Post » Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:11 am

So I had a pretty difficult time getting Oblivion to accept my mod order etc, but as I was posting a topic to this forum to try to find some help I managed to make it work? Not sure how but not questioning it.

Anyways, I get in game and I notice that even though Deadly Reflexes 6 uses an INI to control combat settings, I am being prompted to hit keys to assign the various abilities (ie - flip, shield bash, etc), and at the end I get a message about horse combat being disabled. Now this is extremely confusing as those are the exact messages I got from Deadly Reflexes 5... but I never started a game with 5 installed, and uninstalled it before installing 6... or so I thought?

So now none of my DR moves work and I have no clue why. I installed DR via an OMOD and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail...

Not really sure what's going on so if someone could please help me figure this out I'd greatly appreciate it.




EDIT: So as not to double post, I found the DR6 bug report thread and this:

DR Hourglass does nothing when clicked. Even after change the INI "set scc.resetMod" to 1. Skycaptain wrote concerning this: "well that serves pretty little purpose right now, the ini is re-read on every restart, there′s no messages to display anymore, keys must be configured in the ini. The reset just resets silently some script variables, and is mostly an attempt to fix possible stuck scripts. Without unresponsive scripts, it doesn′t seem to do anything."
BurnsBabyBurns reported: "Config menu does not work. had to set keys through the ini file. Worked fine at first, but when attempting to reload saves get corrupted. none work." Sean144800 reported: "I don't think DR 6 reads the ini, it is also not a configuration file for me." Another report: The DR Reset hourglass breaks the mod and requires the game to be reloaded for it to function again. Another report: "None of the new keys works. And I get this error messages" . Another report: "when i load the game, it freezes for 30 seconds and then sais that deadly reflex is ready, but i didnt even pick any hotkeys, and the reset just makes a . appear at the top of my screen". / "Consistantly having problem with using the DR Hourglass to reset the configuration. When activated, only see a period on the top left corner of screen and all DR functions stop working, reloading the previous save game normally fixes this." / "When I start a saved game either a. the menus come at the beginning that came up in DR5 to let you change your controls, right? Well, they are unresponsive and when they finish (even though I have clicked no button) there is no DR6 reset hourglass. None of the keys are responsive. (That have to do with DR6) or B. I have no hands and the buttons work but they are incredibly laggy, including unsheathing my weapon several times or bashing several times without my consent." / And the beginning popup window for setting keyes is the same from v.5, not prompting to set a throw key and telling that "horse combat will not be in this version", DESPITE the fact I removed ALL deadly reflex 5 esm and esp files and the animation files mentioned in v.5 readme's uninstall-section (check this threads page one). / Well deadly reflex 6 is driveing me nuts. ive done everything from updateing OBSE to starting a new game and still the deadly reflex 5 menu is popping up along with sheild bash flip and dodge not working.ive deleted all files of deadly reflex 5 ive checked everywhere in my data files and cannot find anything.


Appears to be exactly my problem. Pretty much any and all of the things listed here are happening to me. : /

I had some issues going From DR 5 to DR 6 also...I am rock solid again and these are the hoops I jumped thru....

At first i just uninstalled DR 5 loaded the Game and Created a clean save. Closed Oblivion and then installed DR 6. Load game back up and for some reason it did as you say..the old promps showed and asked to asign Keys.?

Uninstall 6....hmmm OK retry..

install 5..Load Game. Save in new slot. Exit. Reload game to verify it does indeed load without asking for keys. (this is with 5.)

Uninstall DR 5, Load game...save in a new slot,close Game. Load game a second time. Save over the new save. Now proceed to install DR 6. This worked for me.

Now another quirk is that...you can only load ONE save per Game start.Say I have 15 saves I cleaned of DR 5. When I start Oblivion I can load a save and it will Say thank you you are ready to play. IF I try to load another cleaned save it will revert to asking for the Keys. But if i close down Oblivion and restart it will load that save the right way.

In short. took 2 saves to clean DR 5 from my save games. and you can only initiate DR 6 on One save per Oblivion Start-up. this could have just been a quirk I was getting but I was able to Clean and initialize Dr 6 on 15 important Saves I have. ( Some mile stones...save just before finish main Quest....ect.)

This is only necessary when trying to Update to DR 6 . After getting DR 6 up and running all my new saves are no problems.

Edit:
Also make sure that you open the INI and make sure that the default Keys that are assigned are not already being used in your Game.(think one of the default Keys is for "b" and in my Game "b" was already used, its my "book" key for my journal mod.
and another was the "f" ? Sheath weapon.

Thank you for your advice. I uninstalled 6, reinstalled 5 via an omod, then disabled and cleaned it, then reinstalled 6 and it worked. XO Should not be that difficult : / Especially considering I never ran a game with DR5.... >_> and the only thing that was left was meshes/textures/sounds... so why the hell did it still remember the dialog pop ups? >_<

whatever... Thank you for the help!

Should have read/posted in the main thread either here or on Nexus. :) Anyway, open up the .ini and find scc.giveDrResetItem, change it to 0. Now it should never ask you to assign keys again, that's not suppose to be in the game any more, leftover from previous versions. Also the reset token doesn't seem to work.
