How to make your esp compatible while enjoying SI
To be able to play Shivering Isles and still mod for Silgrad Tower, please duplicate your Oblivion.esm before installing the expansion pack. Next time you start a plugin, work from the "Copy of Oblivion.esm"* you created + the modding esm version of Silgrad_Tower.esm.
Before submitting your esp, open it in TES4 Gecko. Click the button called Edit Master List and double-click your esp. Highlight "Copy of Oblivion.esm"* and then click the button Rename. Enter the original filename, "Oblivion.esm", and then click Ok. Then hit the Done button and now your esp will be compatible with the main esm. It takes like thirty seconds to do it. [indent][/indent]You must not continue working on that file after doing that. If you want [indent][/indent]to continue, open it again in TES4 PU and change the master file name back [indent][/indent]to "Copy of Oblivion.esm". If you don't have access to an unaltered Oblivion.esm let me know and I'll try to upload a copy of mine. (I don't believe that's illegal since you would have had to have bought the game to use the content of the file.) That copy should only be used for modding of course, it may not be compatible for playing purposes with the rest of your install. * You can name the duplicated file to anything you like. black[/hr] If you've already installed Shivering Isles before joining us it might be easier for you to download the following Oblivion.esm which is free of SI content. Download: Part 1 | Part 2 Save both parts to a new folder on your computer. Start up 7-Zip** and browse to the folder you created. Highlight Oblivion_ESM_No_SI.7z.001 by left-clicking on it, then right-click and choose the option that says "Assemble files" or something to that affect. Click Ok on the popup window, and the full 7-Zip file will be created. Double-click on it and extract it to the folder you created. Rename it to "Copy of Oblivion.esm" and drop it in your Oblivion\Data folder. This "Copy of Oblivion.esm" can only be used for modding purposes and it is unlikely that you can use it to play with since it might differ from the rest of your install. To playtest your plugin, change it's master dependancy from "Copy of Oblivion.esm" to "Oblivion.esm" in TES4 Gecko and then play with your usual Shivering Isles-version of "Oblivion.esm". This won't be a problem after your plugin is merged since our main esm is compatible with both versions of Oblivion.esm. ** 7-Zip is a freeware zip program that is far superior to winzip. We use it a lot in our community. You can download a copy from 7-zip.org.

My pet peeve: huge images in img code. I reserve the right to make any such image into a clickeable thumbnail whenever I see it. Angel mired in filth |
