Questions

"I have found the Prima Guide invaluable for this since it gives the location of all the dungeons, buildings, .." What is the "Prima Guide" mentioned here? I don't see a reference anywhere. --Clearance 08:58, 18 November 2010 (EST)



Hi There Tom,

This is such an invaluable tutorial that you have decided to write for us aspiring modders. I have learned so much in this short space of time. Well done!

However i have a question about continuous linking. I followed you guide with regard to lining up the upper and lower parts of the Skingrad Upper Interior and they appear to be quite seamless. I haven't added an animated door between them yet, as I wanted to play in game to see if I had lined things up ok. For some reason though, when I want to step through the doorway where the two interiors meet, I am met with some kind of "invisible wall" for lack of a better term. I cant seem to walk through the archway.

Do you have any idea as to what I might be doing wrong? Maybe you could add this as a troubleshooting footnote, in case others are having the same problem. I look forward to an answer soon so I can carry on with your awesome tutorials! :D

Kind Regards,

Rael Harris

  • NB: I'm currently on Lesson 3 if that helps.
It may be that the archway has an invisible wall associated with it. Or that it's too small/your character is too large? Which archway piece are you using? What race? I can't guarantee I'll be able to help, though, and your question would likely get an answer more quickly on the Forums.
Also, please sign posts on the Wiki with ~~~~, thanks!

Problems with Oblivion.ini

I hope I'm doing this right, I'm new to all of this but I wanted to point out that my computer will not allow me to edit the oblivion.ini, it says the location is invalid when I try notepad. When I try Wordpad it says it will not allow this change. Can you perhaps help me?

Hi,
Though I am a newbie to this Wiki as well, I might help you a bit. Yes, you are doing it right ;-). Every contribution is welcome! Just some hints:
- I added a title to your request (see above)
- it is recommended to sign your posts by appending ~~~~ to the end of it (yes, just 4 tilde signs; they will be automatically replaced with your user name on saving). Find more information in the easy-to-read Syntax Guide and the Style Guide
Now to your question:
- What's the full location of the .ini file?
- Have you right-clicked the .ini to check if it is write-protected?
- It might be a good idea to post your question at the Bethsoft Oblivion Forums in the Hardware and Software issues section, or at the TESNexus forum.
