Again? I have never opened it against the 2.5 esm. I don't even open the CS with it, but I do have a bit of an idea what might have caused it, possibly, maybe. In the SHC29 esp there where 2 of each area (Steadhelm29 = 29b, 29a = 29d) The originals (29 and 29a) had been emptied and renamed "
insert cell name here old". After I merged them, both old and new sets were exact copies. I didn't like the idea of unexplained duplicates so i deleted the copies. But if you fixed the SHC38 esp, there never should have been a problem I would think.
But if it matters, even with the 2.57 esm (the one you told me to get) if I don't use the travel esp (I don't use it in the CS) I do not have any castle walls. The exterior cells are very empty. There is some stuff, but mostly lightbulbs and a couple of doors. I even started Oblivion with it and guess what? - no walls. I'll sign up for the gallery and post the screenshot of what I see. Also, if it matters I do NOT have Shivering Isles (yet). It is just stock Oblivion with the latest patch.
Maybe I'm just not supposed to do this - this is a bit discouraging to say the least. I tried to follow the instructions to the letter, do everything I was told. Where I was wrong you corrected me and I followed it religiously. X( :bash: (<-seems me and this smiley are getting a bit too familiar...)
Edit: Ok, here we go, lots of files:
SteadhelmMergedblahblahblah_no_teleport: I simply unchecked all the teleports on the doors leading to exterior cells
SteadhelmMergedblahblahblah_gecko_modified: I used TES4Gecko to remove the world spaces from the esp (after doing above modification)
I also included the two files I originally merged using Gecko (38 with number 1 and 29 with number 2). Maybe with all this you can figure out what the hell is going on. Like I said, this is annoying me to no end. I am enjoying doing these mods endlessly, then this... :bash: (<-told you me and basher here was getting to be good friends)
P.S. do other people have this much trouble? ever? at all?
Edit 2: Screenshot of my CS render window:
Edit 3: I forgot about this. When I first load the stock esp's I downloaded from here (not including the one you edited for me) into the CS I get these errors:
-------------------------------------------------
Form (01085716) in file "Steadhelm29v1.00.esp" has wrong type.

Attempting to use existing form WRLD 'SilgradTowerLand' 009BD547 as parent form for following child forms.

Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\Devon Null\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\EditorWarnings.txt file for more info.
----------------------------------------------------
I loaded the re-downloaded the SHC29 esp and got those when I fired it up in the CS. Just thought you should know. It did that to me for SHC38 also. Don't know if it means anything.
I figure an overdose of info is better than not enough.
