Hey,

I'm not really sure if I can post this here or not, but the questions about Mods and I can't really see anywhere else this would fit in to on the forums so here goes...

I'm looking for some Mods that will add Crossbow's to Oblivion, also I am looking for some mods that will add/change existing armours in Oblivion to give some of them a more Van Helsing/Solomon Kane look.... I don't know if these mods exist but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would highly appreciate it!

Thanks,
/Rookie

no idea for the other but ask in the mod detectives thread, most of the time they can find the mod your looking for

Thanks for that, I can't seem to get it to work though lol >.<

Yeah I will try the Detectives Thread and see if anyone can help me there

Requires OBSE

I have downloaded OBSE_0018 but can't get the file to unzip, possibly corrupt?

Ok, downloaded OBSE_0018 again, after opening the file I have moved the obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_steam_loader.dll to my Oblivion directory but that doesn't seem to have let me use the Crossbow mod, any ideas?

Are you launching Oblivion through the OBSE Loader? And, if so, are you using the correct loader for your Oblivion install? (e.g. Steam_loader if you have Steam, OBSE_loader if you have normal retail)

ya you gotta use OBSE loader to get OBSE to work. If your running steam drop obse_1_2_416.dll and obse_editor_1_2.dll. If your running a CD copy drop obse_steam_loader.dll. That should get your Crossbows working.

I had just copied what I was told to in the OBSE Readme

"If you are using the Steam version of the game:

1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_steam_loader.dll to your Oblivion directory. This is usually "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\oblivion"."

And what do you guys mean "from the OBSE Loader" at present Oblivion launches through Steam like all my other Steam games.

I've never used the Steam version of Oblivion, so ignore me if someone more experienced says otherwise, but I believe that there should be an .exe file that came with OBSE , and you run that to launch Oblivion with OBSE active. My guess is that it would be called something like obse_steam_loader.exe, or something similar.

Things can never be simple lol...

Anyway its late, I still can't get it working so I think its time to sleep on it and have another look in the morning.

Thanks for the help guys

I don't claim to know how Steam works, but presumably if you go to (root/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Obivion/), you'll find a shortcut called OBSE_loader - clicking this should launch the OBSE-enabled version of the game. Also, it might be possible to change Steam's default choice of .exe to launch the game so that you can do it through Steam anyways.

Good luck!

I don't have the Steam version either I'm afraid.
But that bit about the OBSE Loader is probably just confusing you. According to the OBSE readme; those of us without steam (regular CD version etc.) need to run the game through the loader file. You lot with steam don't even install that. It SHOULD work through your usual means of starting the game.
But I have heard that some mods don't work that well with all versions of the game (steam, GOTY etc.)

Crossbows of Cyrodill is about the only crossbow mod for the game, to the best of my knowledge. A couple of others got started, but never really went anywhere.
As for armours; there are tons of options out there, search TESNexus etc. I have no clue what there is for your particular preferences myself.

When I try and launch through the OBSE_loader I get an error message saying:

"You are trying to use a Steam version of Oblivion. Please see the instructions in obse_readme.txt for more information."

And can't continue any further, I've read the OBSE_0018 read-me but it doesn't say how to solve this problem:

"If you are using the Steam version of the game:

1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_steam_loader.dll to your Oblivion directory. This is usually "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\oblivion".
2. OBSE will automatically be run along with Oblivion when launched. To disable this, rename or move obse_steam_loader.dll. You do not need to use obse_loader.exe unless you are running the editor.

Scripts written with these new commands must be written via the TESConstructionSet launched with obse_loader. Open a command prompt window, navigate to your oblivion install folder, and type "obse_loader -editor". The normal editor can open plugins with these extended scripts fine, it just can't recompile them and will give errors if you try."



Maybe CoC doesn't worth with the Steam version of the game, kinda disappointed now

I just made the models. PM the author Linus.

Does the author use the TES-Nexus site because the uploaded file is by oxfordite

He's on these forums as 'Linus'

Ok thanks,
