Hmmm, the only load order issue I see is that the FOIP_FWE_MMM esp should load after the rest of the MMM esps. I don't know why that would cuse the errors you're seeing. Try disabling all the mods in FOMM to verify the fact that it's a mod problem you're having. After that, if it does work, enable all the mods again, and individually turn each one off in sequence to see what might be causing the error.

In other news, I've actually made some progress towards a full FOOK patch. I think for my mental clarity, I needed to release 3.2a and get that out of the way before I could concentrate on FOOK. I may have a hot patch for FOOK compatiblity in the next couple of days. Sweet!

No main menu isn't a mod error, does it work without FOSE?

Yes. You'll get CTDs if you mess with the intended load order.

Most likely the mod didn't install correctly for some reason. Check the following directories for the listed files:

\Fallout 3\Data Files\textures\interface\icons\pipboyimages\items\
item_morphine.dds
item_rad_x.dds
item_VTProducts.dds
items_ffpli_inf.dds
items_ffpli_lab.dds
items_fg2070.dds
items_pbx19_bed.dds
items_wp2066.dds

\Fallout 3\Data Files\textures\interface\icons\pipboyimages_small\items_small\
glow_item_morphine.dds
glow_item_rad_x.dds
glow_item_VTProducts.dds
glow_items_ffpli_inf.dds
glow_items_ffpli_lab.dds
glow_items_fg2070.dds
glow_items_pbx19_bed.dds
glow_items_wp2066.dds

I wish I could, but there doesn't seem to be any obvious reason for it.
If you manage to fix it though, be aware that FWE already contains at least parts of Repair Rethought, so using both might cause problems.

Ok, thanks.

I'll try that, even if I'm not too sure how to it, when I get home from work...

I'm very noob, remember...

You know what a file folder is, right?

"\Fallout 3\Data Files\textures\interface\pipboyimages\items\"

Simply means the "items" folder inside the "pipboyimages" folder inside the "interface" folder and so on.

item_morphine.dds
glow_item_VTProducts.dds
(and the rest)

Are just the names of the files that should be in those two folders.

To the best of my knowledge, the files I've listed in those two folders, are the ones that aren't displaying correctly in your barter menu and PIPBoy. That's why you should check to make sure the files are actually there.

If the files aren't where they should be, first try searching your computer for them. If they show up, move them to the folders I mentioned. If the files aren't on your computer, re-download the latest full version of FWE and extract them from the zip.

If the files are there, please make sure you've downloaded and enabled http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944, and if you're absolutely certain you have, post a copy of your load order.

Aha, I've actually forgot about the 'ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated' this time around, probably because when I did it a while back the mods I used back then stopped working when I used it... No idea why really.

I'll try that before checking your other advice, and see if that is enough to make it work. Where should I put in the loadorder on the FOMM btw?

I'll probably install the latest version of FWE as well while I'm at it, do I have to start a new char then?

Also, I plan to download the latest MMM-mod. Anything I must keep in mind for that as well?

Many thanks for taking your time to help me reducing my noobness (hopefully). Seems like I'm learning something new all the time here

Sorry Tubal, I have to correct you on this one. At one time I mucked about with FWE's CFW compatibility patch in the GECK and resaved it. Although it loaded fine, during the save it dropped its dependencies on its esp masters. This caused exactly what Lost Pride is experiencing; i.e. music playing, load screens paging by, but no menu being displayed at all... and in my case, no mouse or keyboard response either... I had to do a reboot to get out of it

Download the program version of ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated, and follow the instructions to the letter. ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated can't mess anything up, but if you decide reading a 10 line readme is too burdensome and get the install wrong, no mod that replaces, retextures or otherwise adds anything to FO3 will function for you.

To answer your questions:

• If ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated somehow ends up in your load order, you've done something impressively wrong. If it's installed right you should have a new bsa archive in your data folder and an ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated executable in your Fallout 3 folder. That's all. Just read the instructions.
  
• You don't have to start a new char to play with an updated version of FWE. But you need to read the readme carefully. If you're upgrading from the last version, you may lose your Bobblehead collection if you get it wrong. If you're updating from an earlier version, a great many bad things can happen if you get it wrong.
  
• Read the readmes for MMMF carefully before you install it. It's a massive mod and there's a lot of little things you need to know about it. When you're done, make sure you check the patch and load order instructions in the FWE readme, because they currently supersede MMMFs (read: if they contradict each other, go with whatever FWE_Fallout_Wanderers_Edition_3-2a.html says).

Finally, I don't mind helping out a fellow noob (I'm one too), but so far all of your problems/questions are answered in the readme files of the mods you use. It's why I didn't initially suggest you download ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated, because.. You should have had it already, you know?

How did you fix it?

I disabled all the mods and the game worked. But when I turn on FOE and MMM it doesn't work.

Help anyone?

I fixed it on mine by turning off FOIP_FWE_MMM and FOIP_FWE_WMK (CFW_FWE and CFW_FWE_MMM seem to be fine.)

I simply deleted the newly saved version of the compatibility patch and replaced it with the original, then made the changes I was after using FO3Edit. If i had to make a suggestion based on your load order, I'd say try this:

Fallout3.esmAnchorage.esmMart's Mutant Mod.esmFWE_FO3_Wanderers_Edition.esmMart's Mutant Mod.espMart's Mutant Mod - Hunting & Looting.espFWE_00_QUEST.espFWE_01_COMBAT.espFWE_02_COMBAT_II.espFWE_03_CHARACTER.espFWE_04_CHARACTER_II.espFWE_05_ITEMLOOT.espFWE_05_ITEMLOOT_II.espFWE_05_ITEMLOOT_III.espFWE_06_SPAWNS.espFWE_07_IMMERSION.espFWE_08_FEATURES.espFWE_09_OPT_PrimaryNeeds_MMM_full.espWeaponModKits.espFOIP_FWE_WMK.espFOIP_FWE_MMM.espOwned!.esp

Note the removal of repair rethought as its already integrated into FWE. No guarantees mind you, but certainly worth a shot for the little effort it would take to try it.

Good Luck

FritZ

Edit: Butcher Pete's reply spurred another idea... make sure you're using the latest version of WMK that includes the energy weapons. -FF

You guys are brilliant and amazing. I love you!

Thanks so much. That worked.

Cant wait to enjoy the mod!

Thanks Kaoten, very helpful.

Dunno why I couldn't make it work the first time around, but it's very likely I didn't understand all the tech language that's usually there. Heck, I don't even understand half of what my computer tries to tell me half of the time...

Again, thanks to Mez and every other modders responsible for this mod, it has changed the game for me.

In a good way. Really.

Also, pardon me, if all my noob questions deviates too much from the main topic...

Really nice mod. Keep up the good work.

I've found a bug in the FWE_05_ITEMLOOT_III.esp. (ver.3.2a)

I get a cdt when I want to interact with Vampire's Edge in the inventory. (game crashes on mouseover)

Everything works fine with all the other mods loaded except Itemloot_III.

Hey, why do the skins on most of the animals in the wild keep like shape shifting? They don't keep one skin. Like for example a dog will run at me, and he will blink other dog skins. Very annoying, ruins the immersion.

How can I fix this?

double posted..

I am getting a crash whenever i activate the terminal in the Shack

everything initializes fine, but i always seem to crash, even when i remove all mods except FWE :/

Thanks in advance

Hi Mez,

I noticed that in 3.2, the RI_Primary_Needs defaults were changed. It used to be Hunger was Vanilla, Thirst was preset 2 (ie: no healing from water/nuka/etc), and the well rested perk was disabled.

Now, hunger is set to preset 2 (no healing from food), and well rested is enabled. I was wondering whether this was your intention for game balance? Or do you intend for those items to heal?

Oh, also, I just started another new game, and still no sleeping bag from primary needs... I tried uninstalling it, saving, and then reinstalling it, but still nothing. Anything else I can try?

ah ok, disregard my post above.

It should probably be noted somewhere that if you install DarN wrong, it can lead to some complications (follow its read me, loading it last also seemed to help)

FOIP_CFW_FWE_MMM.esp needs to be AFTER the mods it affects... so after FWE, MMM and....Classic Fallout Weapons BETA.esp
Also I see the Hairpack esm but no esper...re-read the readme for Hairpack as i suspect this is you problem with the terminal

Nice job as usual and FOOK integration projects are very good news

I only noticed a minor problem: I can't hear the new WMK sounds for silenced rifles. I have the usual sounds (which are identical to the gun shots). I use the same load order indicated in fwe readme. Any ideas?

Hows this for a load order?
When ever i seem to start a new game and the message in the top left comes up and says "Bullet time tool".
It crashes.

Anyone have any idea?

Ive bolded what needs to be removed. You also should take a look at the other optional files included in the install (you seem to be missing a few optional plugins you may need for compatibility)

Hope this helps, post back if it doesnt

Not to mention that FOOK and FWE really are not very compatible, so you may want to rethink using them together. Plus all of the FOOK files need to come before MMM files.
