Gog Oblivion Options

[SubRosa]

I bought Oblivion from Gog.com a while ago, and finally got around to installing it. It comes with the executable already pre-patched to 4gb aware. It also comes with all the dlcs. They install automatically with the game.

I tried it with my old Morroblivion files, and they work! For some reason Morroblivion had stopped working with my old GOTY disc install of Oblivion. So I think I might give that a try sometime soon.

I also got my Martial Arts for Oblivion mod mostly done today. As I did with Morrowind, I took a dagger and changed the mesh to a ring, and renamed it Martial Arts. Works like a charm. I just wish there was some way I could change it to use the hand to hand animations instead of the dagger animations. But I am not sure that is even possible.

I also created a shield the same way, but have not tested it yet to see how it works.


And now Morroblivion CTDs every time I try to load a save again.

Ah Ha! I got it working. The problem - somehow - was that after my initial install I added the Morroblivion files into OMOD files for OBMM. For some reason those files coming out of an OMOD broke the game. I deleted the OMODs, and copied the files over directly. Viola! It works again.

All right very nice with the technical fix there.

It's funny because when I was new to PC modding, I installed MMM, which I had heard about for years, and I really wanted all these extra monsters in my game. MMM was the first really BIG mod I added, and since it came with an OMOD installer (something like this) I got it in my game through the OMOD. Well, everything worked fine except I kept seeing all these *STOP! I'm A MISSING MESH!* signs in my game.

Long story short, a frienmemy I had in the old Beth forums (him and I sparred a bit publicly... you know how those forums were) is the one who diagnosed the problem. "Forget about OBMM. Just copy/paste all the files directly into the Data folder." And this worked. It's because I assumed modding had to be complicated for it to work back in those days. I didn't expect a simple copy/paste would do the trick.

Are you gonna be posting pics SR? I am curious what Morroblivion looks like, or if it's any different from the base game.
