Unable to .additem or .addspell from mods

Greetings, short time reader first time poster. (mmmm, in the Oblivion section anyways)

So I've always played games on consoles but decided to go back to Oblivion on the PC and see what all the hype is. OMG, I love it.

Problem is, I've created my own spell following a tutorial from online. It was saved, the data file added etc. I checked in Oblivion Mod Manager to be sure of the first two numbers for the
form id. In the Conscturction Set it lists it as 01000ED3, of course OMM says it's number 13. So to add the spell I'm assuming I either type player.addspell 0D000ED3 or 13000ED3. Neither of these work though. I've tried adding items to myself from mods that I have installed (armor) with the same result.. No go. For items it says something about item not found something parameter. I can't remember the response I get about addspell.

I tried updating Oblivion, I read somewhere about a conflict between CS and original Oblivion without patch and that works for some people with my issue but again, no joy for me.

Thanks for any input you can give. Messing around like this was my main reason for buying Oblivion for PC (i already own it and have finished it multiple times on Xboxx). So it svcks that it's not working out for me.



On another note, I was able to copy a piece of armor from a mod in CS and drop it in a location for myself to find and that worked.

Reading this over perhaps it's in the wrong forum. I'm not sure if this is a problem to do with what I had done in Construction Set or the mod itself. So if a Moderator feels this is in the incorrect forum please move it accordingly. Thanks.

To call up items the syntax is player.additem FormID . So, for example player.additem 06000012 1.
To call up your spell, you're doing it right. It would be player.addspell 13000ED3 (not sure where you got 0D from). It would help if you could say what message you got.

Well, your powers are astounding Hanaisse. All works now. :P Thank you, the was exactly what I was omitting. So that worked fine.

I tried .addspell again to get that message.....and it worked fine as well. I tried every number from 01 - 17 the other night although I knew it was 13, with no luck. For some reason it worked fine now.

The OD was something I read on the construction set wiki it was something about hexidecimals and such ( 10 being 0A, 11 is 0B etc). It was me grasping at a solution.

Anyways, seems to be working. Thanks again.
