[Relz] Race Balancing Project : IV - Oblivion

» Fri May 27, 2011 4:33 am

Hmm it still didn't work. Tried it multiple times but no luck :/

Do you have Shivering Isles installed?

Bg, just a quick question...can I add the lessor power of "sense evil" from the Ritual birthsign to the Tower birthsign through tes4edit? I think that would round out my Demon Paladin character that I describe in post 3 with the ability to sense evil.

Secondly, would it unbalance my character too much with the rest of RBP? Finally, can you give me a hint on which esp(s) to change and what fields do I need to copy from and to...thanks in advance.

How to add: If it is only for this character, easiest way would be to use player.addspell ##001D76, where ## is the load order digit.

With tes4edit you would only need to edit the Core file. Open it, expand birthsigns, select the tower. There you'll find a category named "spells". Rightlick, choose "add". An empty line (NULL reference) will appear. In this rightclick again, choose modify, and copy in it this formid: 01001D76
Note however that the first two digits are the load order index in tes4edit. If you opened no other files, it's 01.

This will only work for new characters. For existing you still need to use the above addspell command.

It shouldn't be that unbalancing

. Detect Evil is an interesting spell, but it won't help once you've been in combat with the bad guys.

Thanks for the quick reply...Im not too far into the game yet so Ill start over. Plus I just found the companion mod "Baddy" that I am loading as well. Hopefully Ill make "Baddy" turn into a "Goody" - or maybe Baddy will cause me to fall from grace...

No I havn't got SI Installed.

Emphasis added:

Thinking about it. If you don't have Shivering Isles, then while you can use the file, you won't be able to edit it. In this case you need to edit it first a bit with tes4edit, remove all NPCs starting with "SE" in capital letters.

This would remove the factual Shivering Isles dependency when it comes to editing the file, which in turn should make it possible for you to edit the file.

In tes4edit, when I added then selected modify, tes4edit gave me a pull down menu. It listed your bg "sense evil" under ritual and then I just selected it and saved. Looks like it worked while running tes4edit again.

I figured it wont help me much, more for the background lore of my character to differentiate between good and evil...

Anyone get the problems I get, when I do a character creation the other mods are incomplete....like with face gone and no eye balls. Or they are so bugged that the camera switches, and the skin texture is bright pink. Ive also noticed that the ZIP folder I use has no meshes, I'm downloading them from TheElderScrolls.info site, What am I doing wrong. But by the way AWESOME mod.

RTFM. . .

1. Installation:

1. Two separate downloads are required. One is the main download, which can be found here for the English version, and here for the German version. These are the plugin files. I have decided to use separate downloads, so you don't need to download everything again by every update. Meshes and textures don't have a habit of being changed once a month.
2. Make sure that you use the correct language. EV = English version, DV = German version. Other languages are not yet supported (see FAQ). If you install the wrong language, NPCs will become mute.
3. Additionally you need to download the installation files. Get the complete package here as regular file. Unzip all folders into your Oblivion directory. If you're updating from 9.x you can also just download only the new files, get them here. Remember, you're always needing the installation files, except when using the Light version (which is a separate download)!

Yeah I have done that, two times, all the meshes are in their places.

As I type this I'm looking over the Data/meshes/Charicters/Demons file and both are in there, as with all of the other files.

Did you copy the meshes and textures and overwrite everything? Also the bright pink skin means a texture is missing and it can be something to do with Archive Invalidation. Get OBMM and use that method of archive invalidation. If you've done all of that then.. i'm stumped.

What I'm doing now is manual by jZip. I'm guessing overwriting everything is when they ask about a similar file and going over it, I press yes to all no mater what file it is.

What I'm doing again is going over the installation file and extracting all the textures and meshes again, and if that won't work I will extract further into every file.

I might try OBMM, I really don't use it but its worth a shot.

Could be a corrupted download, I'd try download it again first (the zip should be 285MB big). Oh and it's BAIN ready - means there are several subfolder, the first one has to be installed but opened first (no "00" folder in Oblivion\Data!). ArchiveInvalidation shouldn't be an issue in this case.

What I would like to see is COBL Races get updated with 10.5 stuff, but that is up to Wrye. So I am not complaining I am happy with what is in cobl races at this moment..

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:53 pm

Hah, what complicates this is that my mod list is so jumbled up I will just reinstall this puppy.

This may be because of conflicts, who knows, I can't be sure. I will post again if it works.

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:17 am

Thank you for help, using the Lite version fixed the problem right up.

And I am soooo excited to use it also.

Considering Wrye's retirement level, I... I'm not sure when and if an update happens :mellow:.

Oh well. News regarding RBP: I've got a new glow map for the Ohmes-raht eyes, making them glow a lot more. Quite a new impression they give now. Additionally I hope that the http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=980206&hl= will be successful. I've heard some first samples last weekend, and they were absolutely stunning :goodjob: !

QUOTE
I've got RBP up and running, but in the race selection screen, some of the races are black faced, or invisible, and some of the eyes are all black.....

WHat did I do wrong?

Hi,

please install the installation files, not only the .esp files. Even if BAIN doesn't show .esp files, it will still install the meshes, textures and sounds - which seems to have not happened .

If the problem persists then, please ask in this thread .

Best regards,
bg

I'm not sure what went wrong with the installation via BAIN (only that something went wrong), so I would suggest to either try again, or install it manually

\Please forgive if this question is foolish.

Do I need to activate the subfolders when I install with Bain?
--------I didn't do this the first time and still got new hair, etc.......
And, How can I be sure to install the "install this folder first!" folder, first....?
---------do I just set the other installation batch to install first?

Yes it was foolish of me. I see now.

working on it.

In Bain the Background for the RBP packages (the left-hand box) are red.......

I've selected all subpackages for both. Both packages have a red background in their box.

I've uploaded a very small update.

Again it's mostly the LAMEAdditions file (for a few I saw why the NPCs didn't attacked by themselves, but for others... I don't have any clue).

Additionally I've changed the Daedra Seducer's greater power names, so they're grouped together even if later added powers are gained (SI, I'm looking at you!).

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:48 am

Um. This might be a stupid question, but uploaded a very small update where?

I am not seeing anything on the main download page other than 10.5 and update files from 10 to 10.5... might be just missing something, but would you mind pointing me to the link?

bg2408 is known for "sneaky" updates :lol:

. The file version or link doesn't change but it is the updated version you are downloading.

» Fri May 27, 2011 3:38 am

okay

Thank you for heads up!

So, I should just re-download the installation files? Or was there any updates to meshes/textures and the rest?
