#OBLIVION CHARACTER OVERHAUL NOT WORKING VORTEX MOD#
Specifically, this mod adds a new "Survival Instinct" feature to the NPC AI. I will provide you the link for the "outdated" version, but first check what I suggest in this post.This plugin greatly improves the root AI used by NPCs when they are in combat. If this fails, then you are affected by a bug in Steam that forces some users to use the newest version of OBSE with an older version of the obse_loader.exe. Start Oblivion normally using the Steam launcher as usual, do not use the obse_loader.exe nor the obse_steam_loader.dll. You need to put on your Oblivion installation folder the same files as for the disc version, including the omitted obse_loader.exe, and enable the Steam Overlay in game. Secondly, the installation instructions provided in the Description Page are outdated. Newer versions of DirectX will render OBSE unusable. However, let's try again to fix your issue.
#OBLIVION CHARACTER OVERHAUL NOT WORKING VORTEX HOW TO#
The best way to learn how is using OBMM Help menu, and then asking here about anything that is unclear.įirst, what I meant with "you could have installed OCO with OBMM provided that you knew how to create an omod installer from a downloaded package" was exactly that: you can take OCO's package, and use the Create Omod utility from OBMM to turn this package into an omod installer file. Pretty well any mod that isn't specifically designed for WB installation can be converted to an OMOD and installed using OBMM. files with the OMOD file extension are designed to be installed with OBMM and often include scripts that walk you through selecting the various options provided in the mod.
#OBLIVION CHARACTER OVERHAUL NOT WORKING VORTEX MODS#
Some mods come in a compressed format that is unique and specific for OBMM.
#OBLIVION CHARACTER OVERHAUL NOT WORKING VORTEX INSTALL#
Most mods that don't come packaged specifically for WB can be installed with OBMM, in fact many if not most older mods come packaged in an OBMM friendly format, often with a folder named "omod conversion data" that contains files that help OBMM install the mod. not as sophisticated as WB, but certainly better than Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) for Oblivion.

OBMM works reasonably well as an Oblivion mod installer.
#OBLIVION CHARACTER OVERHAUL NOT WORKING VORTEX ARCHIVE#
Something that OBMM can take care of that WB can't is resetting the dates on the vanilla game BSA archives (Steam in all of their infinite wisdom changed the dates on all of the vanilla game BSA files, thus breaking archive invalidation for all of the users). One of the functions it has to offer (as well as Wrye Bash) is archive invalidation. Not the most recent manager, and certainly not as up to date as some others (Wrye Bash is Oblivion's premier manager/swiss army knife). The most recent, problem free and successful is BSA Redirection. There have been a few different methods tried over the years. Archive Invalidation was developed to give a method to get the game to use replacement assets without an ESP (the default game is limited to 255 ESPs) if the change is a simple replacement like the female fur cuirass example. So when a mod wants to change the colour of that female fur cuirass to pale almost white it has to use an ESP to direct the game to make that simple change.

the texture for the female fur cuirass is inside Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa). By default if it needs something to display on the screen it will grab the asset from the BSA files (e.g. The vanilla game comes with almost all of it's assets (meshes, textures etc.) inside compressed archives and decompresses and uses them as needed. OFF is worth to check if you want such.Įdited by LFact, 16 February 2015 - 08:39 AM. For the annoying neck seam, there's no way to eliminate it unless someone makes better EGT file.

If the game is not a DVD copy, nor from Steam, forget about OBSE and mods require it. If you downloaded the game from Steam, there's guide for launching the game with OBSE. If your game is installed from DVD, you have to run the game via obse_loader.exe. Make sure OBSE works after 'install' it. All OBSE plugins should go under \(Your Oblivion installed)\Data\OBSE\Plugins. > OBSE executable and dll files should go to the directory which you installed the game. You must manually install them at right place. Since both are not a mod at all, they should not be installed via any of mod managers. > That means you have to install OBSE and Blockhead. OCO v2 requires OBSE plugin called 'Blockhead' to assign different head meshes to each gender(of same race), for Oblivion engine allows only one head mesh per race. Otherwise, it is recommended to use Oblivion Mod Manager and/or Wrye Bash to install and manage your mods.

If it is installed well with NMM, you can go on.
