Oblivion Modding FAQ - Page 2 - Overclock.net

Bethesda has an insane modding community. Largest I've seen, and they churn out mods as fast as Hershey can make candy bars. YIKES!

Envious, because that's not the case with F.E.A.R.. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Differences...

Construction Set: everything in one editor. Active preview of mod. Extensive FAQs upon FAQs. One HUGE mod community, loves sharing knowledge on modding. Convertors and repackers.

Hundreds of mods (thousand for Morrowind).

F.E.A.R. Editors: ***5*** seperate programs. Each without much of a FAQ (boot camp editing). Have to boot game to preview mod (this is the F.E.A.R. engine booting......). Community that loves to hide tuts (have to request permission to join it's "official" mod group), and catty about knowledge. Shipped with 3 compile errors. Only convertors for the latest 3dMax and Maya editions, with limited editing and importing/exporting possible (forget adding new character animations into the game). Maybe 100 mods total, almost all related to MP.

:miffed: :miffed: :miffed:

That is fantastic! I'd so love to have time to play at modding in Oblivion or Armed Assualt. Used to a lot in OFP, wounder how someone would get paid to do that stuff.

. Great effort though. I didn't read it all, but it looks like a lot of work went into it. Did you write it all from scratch, or did you "borrow" bits from various places?

Well the format is all mine, except the idea of grouping Mods did come from
one recommended Mod listing that I provide a link to in my FAQ. But the way
I group my mods is different. Then of course all the links I provide are not
websites I created! But yeah, the FAQ is based on my own research and
Oblivion game playing with mods. I guess I wanted to get the most I could
out of an incredible game. And then why not just share my knowledge with
people it might help?

Recommending Mods is not new, and many of the mods I recommend are
recommended by others. But having each recommendation linked to a download site
with the latest version number is I think unusual, and I'm rather proud of. Heh.

jamenta, any idea where i can download mods?

I'm wanting to get the BTmod and the 4096x4096 textures mod, but the 3 sites for DLs in your FAQ either don't work (file not found) or require you to pay (planet elderscrolls).

Hm, I'll double check the links. Planet Elderscrolls you can sign up
for free and use the public servers (I mention that in the FAQ). Plante Elderscrolls has
two types of download services available - public which are slower, and
the fast premium servers that you have to pay for.

Checked all three links, they're working good for me.

Actually if you click on the links for any of the mods in the Texture groups it
will take you to a download site that will have pictures of the mod in question.

You can also visit this TOTO website here:

http://devnull.devakm.googlepages.co...extureoverhaul

This is an excellent site if your looking for new textures for Oblivion, and has plenty of
comparison pics of the different types of texture downloads.
