Good ole exclamation marks

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:40 am

So I got the urge to play oblivion again after quite a while. I didn't have many mods a few years ago and I still had them in my downloads folder so I knew what I needed.

I have:

Natural environments
OOO 1.33
Illuminatioin within

I also remember having Harvest flora, but the plants are acting like normal.

Anyways, I go into my shack in imperial city and there is a big yellow box. Also, some of the guards have them as well. I thought it was the torches at first but it isn't. I also had a basic glass helm that was enchanted and for some reason that gave me a box too.

My question is, is there a way to debug or show what textures are loaded/missing? The game puts a box there for something, it must tell us what it is there for.

I read the super FAQ on mods and read the yellow exclamation box part twice but I still don't really know what to do.

Thank you :)

I know OOO changes the guard armor... Maybe its that? Did you try re-extracting the meshes and textures from OOO?

Seems you just didn't put all of your meshes or textures where they belong, try just re-extracting them.

Thanks for the responses. I completely uninstalled everything and re-installed OOO and the other few mods I have. I think the problem is that my save is quite old. I didn't play oblivion for a few years and maybe something small changed. That is why I would like to see what textures are missing and then maybe I can get them individually. It certainly isn't as bad as it was before. Before I was getting purple things too, the textures were in the wrong place :S.

That FormID mod looks like it should help a little. I will try it when I'm out of the merunes dagger quest!!!

EDIT: Hmmm. I just went into my shack to unload some loot and the yellow box was gone. Sitting in its place was a Kvatch Curiass which I could not pick up before (I tried to pick everything up to see if the box went away). Also, because that was gone I was feeling lucky (my luck attribute is at 50 after all) and I brought out the shield that gave a big box on me. It works now for some reason. It didn't when I made the first post and I hadn't even closed the game. So either one of you is a pro hacker or the problem just fixed itself.

IF it does happen again I will definitely give that FormID a try.
