Re: What is causing this lopsided face glitch?

It seems strange that that only occurs on one side of the face though, and that I've seen numerous screenshots from that angle of a Khajiit character that do not look that way. Ah well, it's a minor inconvenience, and I thought it was something I had done (perhaps a bad PyFFI optimization for ...

Topography maps?

This probably qualifies as shameless self-promotion, and accordingly I won't be the one to edit the world map pages myself. But I wondered if the TESIV topography maps I recently posted at http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/46775 might be of interest to the wiki?

From what I understand, the ...

Re: *SPOILER* Game freezes inside Cheydinhal Oblivion gate

Unfortunately, one of the many known problems with this game was never addressed. I'm not sure anyone ever found the root cause. But if you play the game long enough, eventually certain random cells will become "nuked", i.e. the game will be unable to load them. Using quicksaves and repeatedly ...

What is causing this lopsided face glitch?

I'm an experienced Oblivion mod author who used to contribute to UESP regularly. I've spent dozens of hours reinstalling Oblivion after a 3 1/2 year hiatus - picking out the best mods, carefully Pyffing and DDSopting and TES4Editing and Bashing everything, reading the Readmes for everything, etc ...

Re: Weapon Expansion Pack for Oblivion Nthusiasts - Phase II

Thanks!

If anyone is interested, I posted a poll on Bethesda's forums for WEPON's future direction. I talked about future possible additions (Stalhrim, Adamantium, and the now-not-so-secret Chaos) and asked what the community would like to see. I didn't mention Bonemold, Dreugh, Orhicalcum or any ...

I think if you use a long-term Disintegrate Weapon spell on yourself while you're unarmed, you'll get the same effect. :)

Re: Problem when launching Oblivion via OBSE

Personally I'd recommend disabling Oblivion's native AA and instead enabling it through your Nvidia or ATI console (assuming you have a dedicated graphics card!) That will allow you to run HDR and AA at the same time, and it's often a more efficient antialiasing anyway.

For my next pointless achievement: exploring every single cave, ruin, mine, fort, sewer, etc., and closing all 100 Oblivion Gates (thanks to a plugin I built), all with the same character. The Gates are done and I only have about 30 random locations to go :)

I have no plans to create armour (cause of the technical aspect), so I think you guys should just do it if you want to. We can colour the weapons to match afterwards. Are you asking 'cause you want my input on armour design?

I was thinking about it the other way actually, that you could create ...
