Missing resources from Artifacts : IV

» Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:00 pm

I just added Artifacts to the game and items from it turn up with missing meshes and icons. The bsa is there (and the resources correctly located in it) and I'm using Archive Invalidation Invalidated, so I don't know what's up really. I've been using it in several earlier games w/o issues. Anyone who has an idea what might be causing it? I've also checked it out in TES4Edit, but no other plugin seems to interfere.

You haven't linked to the mod download page, making it hard to assist. However, my guess is that the mod comes with Artifacts.esm, Artifacts.esp and Artifacts.bsa. Is this correct? You do not have Artifacts.esp in your load order, but you do have ArtifactsFemaleArmor.esp and Artifacts - ArmaCompleteAddon.esp, my guess is that one or both of these is a replacer ESP for the original Artifacts.esp. A BSA requires an ESP with an identical filename for the game to recognise it (or it needs to be listed in Oblivion.ini) - if I'm correct, then because the replacer ESP(s) use a different filename, you need to rename the BSA to match one of the replacer ESPs. This should have been explained in a readme provided with the replacer ESP.

Either rename the BSA to match any active ESP, or extract the BSA and install the contents loose.

Thanks! I'm not using Artifacts.esp as I can live w/o the collectors guild house it adds - but I forgot that I must rename the bsa if doing so...
