Oblivion General Technical Issues Thread, What’s buggin’ yas? Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I didn’t see a thread for general issues with Oblivion that has been posted in in the last decade, so I decided to make a new one, because yesterday I ran into an issue that I think is pretty major.

I decided that I wanted to add the Wizard’s Tower DLC to Saryn’s game before she went up north to Bruma for her last recommendation. So I went to the Microsoft Store on the Xbox Series X and tried to purchase and download it. First of all, it’s weird that I needed to purchase it because I’m positive I had already done so many years ago before my Xbox360 died. Ok whatever, I thought it was probably just because it was so long ago and it was less than $2. It gave an error message saying something went wrong and to try again later. I stopped after that and forgot about it for a few days and tried again. Same error message. I looked it up to see if there were known issues with this, and sure enough, there were. I tried things people said worked for them but no dice. I tried about 20 times or so. This morning I looked at my bank account. It charged me each time I tried. I had to contact Microsoft support and now I have refunds pending, but still no Wizard Tower DLC. Frankly, I’m not sure if you can even get this DLC on Xbox anymore since they shut down the Xbox360 storefront like just last month. I don’t expect this to be resolved, but I thought I would make a post about my experience to serve as a warning for anyone else trying to get this DLC on Xbox Series X/S or XboxOne.

I think we have a little confusion on how to attach scripts to quests, and I fear Khajiit is going to run away screaming. The thing is, Renee and I are describing two different ways to attach a script to a quest. So I'll try to sort it out.

Method 1 - create the script from the Quest window. This is what Renee is saying. When you open the Quest window and click your quest (or make a new quest and click it), you can attach a script to it. But what if you haven't made that script yet? Well, then you can click the three dots near the "Script" drop-down box and it will take you to the script editor where you can enter and save your script. Then you return to your Quest Window but your script is not in the list... because it hasn't caught up with you yet. I find that you actually have to click another quest first, then come back to your original one, and then your script will be in the list.

For this reason I do it differently.

Method 2 - create the script first. In the CS there's an icon with a pen on it - that's the script editor. You can also open it from the menus. Click it, and select "New script". Copy-paste the script above (or write your own, hehe), and save. Make sure that the script type is set to "Quest" rather than "Object" (it is "Object" by default). In the standard CS this drop-down is on the bottom of the window, but in the CSE it's on the top.

Now open your Quest window, go to your quest and you will find your script in the drop-down box. If it isn't there, then you didn't make it a Quest script.

Once you set the script to your quest (or do any other thing, like give your quest a name or something), make sure to click another quest or at least one of the other tabs of the same quest. THIS IS WHEN YOUR DATA GETS SAVED!!! If you close the window without doing this, you may find that your changes weren't saved! This is a problem that I encountered on every tab!! You think you've done something, you're sure you weren't drunk, but you go back in and it's not there! So I now have a rule to always click on another quest before exiting.

But it isn't all that complicated, really. It's a bit scary at first, but you soon get the hang of it.
