Hi All,

A Few Questions as how to use OBMM & Wrye Bash Properly.

When Creating An OMOD are all the files including The Texture and Meshes Folders Converted,Then when activating do those Folders go into there corresponding Folders In the Oblivion data Section?

When using Wrye Bash what are The Balo Groups used for,and do they need to be Checked in the Oblivion Data Before launch.

Do Either of these Programs Have a Auto-Sort function for Load Order?

Should you Only open these programs if you're planning on adding more Mods or should they both be run before continuing your game?

Lastly!!Whats the best way to remove these splinters after scratching my Head lol

Any Help is much appreciated.

James.

I never did that, so I do not know anything about it...



It makes load order as it must be ( you will need do some litle changes by yourself )...it makes groups order correct, ie. it will automaticly put quests after overhauls (but it is not perfect. Within groups, order of mods is alphabetical )



Wrye Bash with Balo Groups...



It depeds...OBMM is used for making load order and "installing" OMOD files, so you do not need run it when you are going to play...but Wrye Bash have "BashMon" function which is needed for some mods, so if you use those mods it shoud be running, othervise it do not needs to be running...

I hope this helps...

Done.

The List of unknown mod files I Don't know what they are or where they have to go in the Load Order.

I have Gotten the Bashed Tag suggestions but I can't Find any Bashed Patches in the load order! Am I using the wrong Wyre Bash which is Version 205.

Thanks for any help That can be given,

James.

Hmmmm,

I'm running a full FCOM setup and let FCOMhelper do most of the work, so I can't help you too much on your load order. Wrye Bash 205 is the newest version and should work fine, it's the same as I'm using now. I don't know what all of those files are at the end of your load order, did you generate these with Wrye Bash???

You should have a file listed in the Wrye Bash mods window called (Bashed Patch, 0.esp) if you do not see one look in the Wrye Bash folder ...\Mopy\Extras this file should be in there, and copy it to your ...\Oblivion\Data directory.

Then you should be able to open Wrye Bash and right click on that file and use the "Rebuild Patch" command. (Pretty much just check all the available options)

I would suggest trying to figure out where all those files at the end of your load order came from, they don't appear to be from any mod I am familiar with. I would try deactivating them from your load order and running your game after you have built your Bashed Patch.

Good luck


Also hopefully by 8/10/08 I will finish writing and will post my instructional guide for setting up an up to date fully FCOM modded game, with a bunch of other fun stuff added, which may help you out. So keep an eye out for that.

As much as I know those are form Balo function of Wrye Bash...

Ok, thats what I thought, I would just get rid of these files, they aren't needed, unless you REALLY know what your doing and have a specific use for them (like creating a custom mod using these as resources).

Hi Both.

Thank you for the Info.

Should I remove these files from Oblivion/Data Folder Then Rerun FCOM Helper?

Regards,

James
