Be warned: while this mod is supposed to be a performance enhancer, the texture pack required to go with it will beat your graphics card with a spiked bat.
Kinda not what you might expect from the description provided, just giving fair warning. Check the requirements and comments for the other files before downloading this one.
Thank you, wish I had seen this in advance. Indeed the description does perhaps lead you to think that it increases performance and decreases pressure on the system compared to vanilla requirements. Although I don't think it explicitly says that, it's the impression that I got. It's just slowing my game down, though, the opposite of what I needed.
For anyone having trouble with the missing robes, I found a fix that worked for me and will (hopefully) work for you! Just so you know I am using OBMM so if for some reason you don't use OBMM this might not work ">.
1. Go to your Oblivion's Data/meshes/ folder 2. Move the folder RobeMage out of your data directory 3. Open up OBMM 4. Go to Utilities - Archive Invalidation 5. Choose Remove BSA Edits 6. Now tick the Meshes and Textures boxes under the file types to include header 7. My mode is in BSA alteration (not sure if many people use this or no?) 8. Choose Update Now 9. Start up your Oblivion save 10. Enjoy being able to see people's robes "> 11. ??? 12. Profit.
That is what i did to fix the invisible robes problem, but I'm not the best at using this software so if some of my steps aren't necessary then sorry haha. Confirmation of this working with other people would be appreciated ">
Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm back now so you can feel free to post more feedback, last time my hard drive died so I lost the will to reinstall Oblivion =(.
Yeah I remember noticing a few problems with this mod way back when I made it but nothing serious, a few meshes were a little weird so I just removed them, no serious problems like crash to desktop though.
I got a new pc and I reinstalled Oblivion so I will use this mod on my main save game and along the way I will fix anomalies that I see, hopefully I'll get the crashes where you guys said you got them so I can check whats going on, as while right now I do not need this mod since my pc runs Oblivion fine, back when I had my old pc it actually helped me a ton!
@181sp1:Not all areas have a huge performance gain, the one in the screen shots are some of the ones with the most obvious frame increase, I'm going to check if I can still gain some fps on my new pc in those areas.
@sleekie: Yeah its meant to make playing with those mods a lot more bearable.
From what the screenshots show, i'd say it's safe to assume theres a bit of incompatibilities with this and QTP3 full. The most obvious example would be the streets in anvil. The screen shots display the vanilla anvil texture, but in QTP 3 this texture has been changed, so by using normal maps created for the old anvil street texture you will have misaligned shading. I actually noticed this quite a while back and just thought to point it out since i started playing oblivion again.
Absolutely no fps change with this for me. I'm running a core2duo 3.0 Ghz, GTX 285, 4096 RAM. FPS at test spot before and after were the same 23-24 fps.
