I think everything is working fine , but I'm not sure. After one hour of gameplay, I ran into a few new monsters.

For Fran, I typed the 'startquest franmenu' command and the window poped up, so i guess it's working.

For MMM, I met blue Scamps, Implings, a badass warlord in dwemer armor that kicked my ass and a Durzog

As for the number of foes at the same time well... I didn't notice anything very much different... I guess I still have a problem.

For Warcry, I met a boneflayer and two boneflayer shamans . Haven't seen any equipment though, anywhere I can go to see if the weapons are available ? (to see if the mod is active)

For OOO, I've met a Blood and Mithril Golem and shadow wolves

The fights are harder now, even on the easiest difficulty on the slider, enemies take multiple hits to kill instead of a few, and some fights (like the warlord mentionned above) are downright ridiculous (for a lvl 1). Although I still run into alot of lone wolves while travelling.

Here's my Wrye Bash, anything's wrong ?

Thank you

Run BOSS. It will rewrite the times on your mods and get rid of the red. They are red because they share the same timestamps.

Shikishima, I seem to remember you posting your suggested nGCD+Progress(+Elys Uncaper IIRC) .ini settings for FCOM... is there a way to find those again without reading hundreds of pages?

Yeah, I ran BOSS already, but for some reason didn't change the dates/time. So I did it manually with File - Redate (was it okay?) now, there's no more red, but still a few orange checkboxes. Is it normal ?

Right click at the top of the list(with File, Load Order, etc) and uncheck "Lock Times" then run BOSS again.

Thank you, everything is green now

I just installed FCOM and I need to know what to name the MMM.bsa.

Make sure to rebuild your bashed patch after letting BOSS reorder your files.


FCOM_Convergence_Mart's Monster Mod.bsa

If you installed via The Nice One's OMOD installers you should have a dummy MMM.esp, so no need to rename it. If not, rename it FCOM_Convergence_MartsMonsterMod.bsa

Thanks for the help.

Actually, the omod script gives you two options, either to rename it for you, or to install the dummy MMM.esp. But in either case, there's nothing more for you to do.

I have an intermittent crashing problem with my uFCOM (latest) setup. It doesn't happens always, but happens most of the time.

If I click on a gem (pearl, sapphire, topaz etc.) in my inventory (to crush it with my mortar/pestle), the game crashes. Doesn't happen all the time, but I avoid doing it anyway. I imagine it is a script issue. Is this a known issue (I recall reading something about it conflicting with Geomancy, but I may be mistaken).

P.S.: My uFCOM setup is fairly stable, with the errant CTDs due to corrupt spawns once in a while.

Not a known issue. You could have a load order issue. Please post your load order with Wrye Bash.

Load order has been BOSS'ed, and I rebuild the Bash Patch+Generate LOD every time I add a mod. Will still post load order once I get home...
PS: Using OBSE v18b6

Ensure that your not using the MMM_ Gem&Gemdust addon as it has known conflicts when used with OOO/FCOM

I searched for the post but it's been purged due to it's date.
I don't currently have a rig that can play Oblivion to my satisfaction and my old one was destroyed in a domestic fire, otherwise it would be a simple copy and paste job.
It's pretty easy to configure though. Use Progress at X7 (my suggested settings to tejon) You may wish to tweak some individual skills to suit your playing style - e.g. Alchemy - which I still felt leveled too quickly.
A couple of ini adjustments will be required:
Progress ini:

set Progress.iLevelUpSkillCount to 9999
set Progress.iTrainingSkills to 9999
set Progress.fTrainingCostMult to 10.0

nGCD ini:

set nGCD.iSkillMax to 200 ; 200
set nGCD.bAbilitiesReduceSkillMax to 0 ; 0
set nGCD.iAttrMax to 200 ; 200
set nGCD.iAttrCap to 200 ; 200
set nGCD.bAbilitiesObeyAttrMax to 0 ; 0

You could set these to the Oblivion max of 255, but 200 is something I prefer as it will allow fortification effects (vampirism etc) room to work properly.
If you use the X7 slow down plus GSD you'll probably never get anywhere near 200 anyway.
Post in tejon's thread or PM me if you need further clarification on any settings.

I can't wait until we get the next version. I still remember that awesome trailer for it. And deadly reflect 6....

After two hours of playtime, exploring everywhere, from the wilderness to Ayleid Ruins and Forts with tgm on, is it normal that I haven't come across a single MMM custom monster yet ?

Is this at the beginning of a new game? If you've added FCOM to a pre-existing game, you'll have to wait for things to respawn (as well some other stuff that you do in Wrye Bash, i.e. releveling all the NPCs). If it's at the beginning of a new game, then maybe your level isn't at a point where new stuff will spawn :shrug:

That's a pretty old trailer. It was originally made for version 8.7 if my memory is right.
Everything you see depicted there plus a whole lot more is in the current version.

@Sephariel, something most certainly doesn't sound right.
You have made a bashed patch?
Also if you've added the mod to a save game at the sewer exit you must relevel your NPC's and wait out your respawn period.

Yeah, well, I guess I hadn't explored far enough.

I advlevel myself to lvl25, waited 8 days, then ran into a Frost Giant, a Hill Giant and a few Rainbow Wyverns, which are MMM monsters right ?

Nevermind

That number of skill increases is normal for how the mod works. Despite the fact that by my reckoning, he enjoys an obscenely slow rate of progression, he DOES know what he's talking about

The game IS hard in the early levels. I had to go back to vanilla leveling rates until level ten or so, because I couldn't get any experience because I died so quickly. As for Balrogs, throw frost at them

Nevermind

We aren't talking the vanilla leveling system here.
Not trying to be rude, but I do suggest that you have a working knowledge of an nGCD/Progress/Uncapper combo before passing comments like "Um? 9999 skill increases to lv up. you would never make it to lv 2"
But anyway, this isn't an FCOM topic. If you want to know how it works I suggest reading tejon's thread.
