Testing FCOM : IV

» Wed Apr 20, 2011 8:23 pm

Hey, I just did a standard FCOM installation from the forum following all the steps and I am just wondering if using the testcell feature if I am suppose to be getting chests and loot objects in every single cell. I stop getting them after cell 12 or so. I also am not getting anything creatures or NPC's spawning at cell 01, but 00 and every other cell works fine.

Thanks

No idea really as I've hardly checked out the test esp at all. Post your load order via Wrye Bash.

thanks for reply, alright heres my load order... aside from the empty 01 cell and no items after cell12, things seem to work ok. that is... except i have that annoying COBL races error with the black eyes and missing faces... i have the resource thing installed not sure what the deal is with that.

i think maybe i didnt bash/merge things quite right? i followed what the latest forum recommended aside from a few differences.

When building your bashed patch, make sure Cobl Races.esp is selected under both "Import NPC Faces" and 'Race Records". Race Records is located near the very bottom so it is sometimes easy to miss.

hmm... i have them all selected in both faces and records... however, theres also OOO in Race records I did not select but i seem to get the same result regardless. i remember having this problem before long ago and found out what the problem was but i cant remember what.

Looks fine overall. Some notes:

23 Oblivion WarCry EV.esp [Version 1.08a] - Update to 1.09. Links at the top of http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1122753-relz-fcom-convergence-and-ufcom/.
24 FCOM_WarCry.esp [Version 0.9.9MB3] - As above.

++ Mart's Monster Mod - Shivering Isles.esp [Version 3.7b3p3] - Note that MMM SI will override most of Fran's SI so the latter is a bit useless. No issues otherwise though. Also, speaking of SI, check out http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1112992-relz-zutheskunks-shivering-isles-overhaul-v01/. Makes SI more OOO like and works well with MMM SI.

3F Cobl Races.esp [Version 1.52] - Is this the latest? I have 1.53.

40 Francesco's 10 days respawn time - 1-20 day lenght rescale.esp - Consider using the Bashed Patch tweak instead and save a slot, unless this day length rescale thingy is crucial.

As for your missing faces etc., are you using BSA Archive Invalidation? It's basically a must when using replacers. Otherwise I'm not sure - it's not a normal issue with Cobl Races anyway, so double check the install?

It's pretty hard to mess up the Bashed Patch. If you followed the guide in the FCOM thread it should be fine.
