[RELz] Return Of Shadows Chapter I : IV - Oblivion

» Tue May 24, 2011 6:15 am

I downloaded the version with the music (very cool music, I like it - I think I'm gonna keep them either way

) and installed it successfully. However, I encountered a problem immediately after trying to load my savegame and game crashed. I tried second time, taking another save and that worked - I did some tests, saving wasn't problem and I could quick travel without any problem. Then I decided to figure out HOW to start this questline and went to Namira's shire - weather changed so suddenly from sunny to stormy (pretty cool btw) and knew that it was effect by this mod.
Then I tried to start Namira's daedric quest and in order to get my character a little more... unattractive I changed my fame to 0 and raised infamy to 200. After doing that Mirage appeared and said something like "Are you looking place to die?" but she didn't have any more dialog. She didn't have any voice (this was fully-voiced, I think?[EDIT: yeah, I read that this doesn't have yet voice-acting. No issue then.) and she was also essential. Then I opened my inventory, which immediately let to crash.

This mod looks so far very interesting and cool, but there are some strange bugs/mod conflicts which make playing this veeery hard. Sad, I looked really forward to playing this =/.

Actually, if you've gotten it to load on one of your saves, just keep playing the game as normal, the story line will come to you, not you to it

Seriously, you cannot force the mod to start, it will start when the time is ripe, and there is no way to ripen the time, lol it's pretty random actually. I've had it start right out of th dungoen as well as 5 days into the game. Resting helps.

So Begins Project "remove all instances" o.o I will work hard to figure out this weird error and have it corrected asap. I suspect its caused by the 3 (count that, 3) times we actually changed something in the default game -_- a npc Cryon who most of you have had the pleasure of meeting by now? a item in a container and ... another npc

but i'll fix that easily enough

Is this balanced with FCOM in mind or is it like KDQ where you have quests more made with an unmodded game in mind?

Fcom? What's that >.> >.>

*has never used Fcom, OOO, MMM AAA, or ZZZ um.... or any of that stuff o.o However I will leave it to you to decide how balanced this mod is, we did not use default creatures or npcs but our own. one day I will use one of these 3 lettered mods and perhaps I will enjoy it... one day.... when one of my toons manages to get lvl10 again.... when my CS breaks.... when all links to new cs are destroyed by angry princessrabbits.

Francesco's Oblivion Overhaul, Oblivion Warcry, Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, Martigen's Manster Mod. By all your POWERS COMBINED I AM CAPTAIN FCOM.

Basically do you use default dungeons in the mod? Or did you create and populate your own?

If you used default dungeons then I'd have to power level a character up a few(or more) levels. If you created your own and used leveled content than I'd be fine.

Also thank you for the very prompt reply.

We used one default dungeon, but it was an easy one and didn't have many creatures as you are the last to past through it... after a shadowknight... Hunted by the Order of Dragon, stalked by the dark Sisterhood... Point is, you will find mostly everything dead in it and thereforth it matters very little.

All other dungeons we created.

IF YOU ENJOY OUR MOD PLEASE VOTE FOR IT FOR MOD OF THE MONTH ^.^

Kay thank you I'm already downloading. I was just making sure I knew what I was getting into. This thing looks [censored](THIS WAS IN CAPS [censored] YEAH) ORESOME.

For the Time being, this mod is best to use when creating a new character. You must have OBSE installed as well.

If any wish to help us find the source of this CTD On Load of saved games error, please post your findings here. The more people working together the faster a fix will come. As of now this has me stumped.

This fits the definition of...

Don't use it if you have a game in progress RR9 it has a persistent CTD that only happens with a game already in progress. I'm waiting for a patch to play it.

» Tue May 24, 2011 10:10 am

the patch is coming... but we have to comb every single hair of the mod to find what is causing this CTD -_- and man am i tired of combing... lets put it like this, we've went through and deleted almost every single aspect of the mod one by one to see if the crash stops... random deletions without links we can see have cured it on some pcs but not on others.

I have personally went through and re cleaned and then cleaned again the mod, and then removed references we created but never used... still it crashes, speaking of which, i have a ideal !

Just looked at it REALLY quick like mate, from what I can see right off the bat. Now I don't know if this is normal for such a mod. But looking just at it's file header it doesn't seem to reference a Next Object ID. I've tried loading several other mods last but all of them reference one.

Really wish TES4Edit had better documentation so I could figure out what that meant.

I'm gonna change that now and see if it works then.

No dice. Well that was my [censored]ing around with the editor trying to fix something for the month. Just kidding I'll keep looking.

I've tried everything to pinpoint the source of this error, still no luck, if any experienced modders are here please take a look at the file and see if you can determine what is astray... i'm going to sleep now as i've been up for a few hours trying to fix this problem

*kicks mod in the ass* -_- night night!. this is slowing down all the add ons we were about to issue forth... grrrrrr by the end of monday i will have this fixed, so swears mojojojo. >.>

I am the code of my scripts. Driven is my will, creative is my mind. I have birthed many a dream. Unknown to failure, nor known to success. Having withstood strife to change reality for you. Yet this body will never know fantasy. So as I paint for you, I pray now. Give me unyielding support. ~ Tc2r

After almost two full days of testing and error checking, I have corrected the problem. I do it for you...

Thank you everyone who helped, you were an amazing source of support and without you this would have taken much much longer. :celebration:

I'll have everything uploaded in a bit, doing a few more updates to the mod

*looks worried just because of how severe that bug was* ..... everyone starting mod okay now right??? RIGHT (puts knife to your throat) RIIIIGGHT? o.o (say yes.... "okay" is an acceptable answer as well, even "sure" will do, but "sure" isn't the proper word to use in such a situation as this, however i may overlook it and my knife hand wont twitch.... right?)

IT'S FIXED! IT'S FIXED! SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!

Do you also have to load the seperate ESP? Because I DL'd the new updated ROS:C1, and the game got to the title screen, but when I wanted to dowload my game, it crashed.

NEVER MIND...IT WORKS FINE! I just had to take off this mod that adds more Daggerfall NPCs...it was the screwup.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT MOD!!!!!!!!!!!
