• Select all components, then select the temporary install directory and click "Install". Upon doing so, installers for selected components will be unzipped and run in sequence. It's best to accept the default settings for each installer.
• Note: This is the actual Wrye Bash code/application. It updates fairly frequently, but is small and easy to install.
• If you're upgrading from an older version of Wrye bash, then just get the last Wrye Bash XXX.Zip file from Wrye Musings and unzip to Oblivion directory. There's no need to remove anything or reinstall any python components.
• On Windows Vista, the UAC (User Account Control) protects the Program Files directory (usually c:\Program Files) against write by regular users. This can be a problem for Bash and other mod editing and management tools (TESCS, TES4View, OBMM).
• You can drag "Wrye Bash Launcher" to your Quick Launch toolbar. OR...
• In Explorer, copy "Wrye Bash Launcher", then go to the other location and use "Paste Shortcut".
• Most likely there is a problem with your setup. Alternatively there may be a bug with Bash.
• If you have a different version/location of python, adapt the first
argument accordingly.
• Doing this will cause any error messages that Bash generates on start to spew to the command shell. This is the bugdump.
• The problem here is that python is not very good at getting the user directories. There are two options here.
• This used to be semi-common problem but should be an issue for users who have pywin32 installed. (PyWin32 is included in the Wrye Python installer.)
• I don't understand the source of the problem, but it has something to do with the way python is installed. The solution seems to be to reinstall python and wxpython in that order. (You may have to first uninstall both of them.)
• You haven't installed wxPython or you haven't installed it in the right place.
• If, when installing wxPython, you did not see the usual installation wizard dialog, then you almost certainly downloaded a corrupted version of wxPython. Re-download it. Make sure that the downloaded file is larger than a few kB (actually, it should be about 8 Mb).
• If an error message like this pops up (very rare) the problem is with your OS installation. For some reason the Microsoft utility that handles the installation of installer files is messed up. As far as I know, the only solution is to fix (maybe reinstall) your OS (the utility is part of the Windows OS).
• If the problem is not listed above and thinking about it doesn't help, then go to the forums and post the whole bugdump. Preferably, you should post the dump in the Relz/Help topic (see Discussion link at top of page) or you can start a new topic. Be sure to mention "Wrye Bash" in the text of the post.
• If you're having difficulty getting or installing Wrye Python or if you prefer to do things by hand, then here's some additional info on the python components it installs.
• This is the main install for python. It provides the base interpreter/compiler and the basic libraries. Python 2.5 is the preferred version for Wrye Bash.
• Python supports several different GUI libraries. Wrye Bash uses wxPython. Note that it's important to get version 2.8.7.1 – later versions of wxPython 2.8 are not compatible with Psyco.
• PyWin32 provices access to windows registry info on user folders, etc. Wrye Bash uses this info to locate user specific info (active plugins and save games folder).
• ComTypes is not strictly required, but may be used by later versions of Wrye Bash. (It's useful for copying screenshots to the desktop, etc.)
• PIL (Python Imaging Library) is currently required, but may be used by later versions of Wrye Bash. (It's useful for manipulating screenshots, etc.)
• After running Wrye Python, you'll be left with separate installer files for each of the components. You can discard or keep these as you prefer.
• This may happen if you reduce your screen size or remove a second screen. Symptoms are that window shows up in taskbar, but doesn't appear. Also, you can use the taskbar to maximize the window, but once minimized it disappears again.
• As of v190, Bash's main window should autocorrect to be displayed when you start Bash.
At the bottom left of Bash's main window you'll find launch buttons for Oblivion and other applications (if they're installed). You'll also find one or two toggle buttons.
• Each of the application buttons will be present if the corresponding application is present in the Oblivion install directory.
• Tes4Gecko will be available if the javaw.exe is present in Windows\System32 and if the Tes4Gecko.jar file is present in the Oblivion install directory.
• Tes4Edit, Tes4Trans and Tes4view are just different modes of Tes4Edit.exe and will be available if Tes4Edit.exe is available.
• When checked this will launch OBSE when either the Oblivion or TESCS buttons are clicked.
• If checked this will cause Bash to quit when launching Oblivion. This is useful if you're concerned about memory usage.
• This launches bashmon.py in a command shell window. This is for use with Breeze582000's Seducers/Succubi mod and Wrye's Morph mod.
The Installers tab provides a mod package installer facility. In general purpose, it's much like TimeSlip's OBMM tool, however implementation is somewhat different from OBMM. Relative to OBMM, there are several substantial improvements; however in other ways, it is simpler and less powerful than OBMM. (Notably, there is no BSA archive handling in Bain.)
Here's a brief getting started guide. You may have to read sections further down before this section makes full sense.
• A "package" is a collection of esps, esms and/or resource files. Everything listed under the Installers tab is a package. Packages can be either archive files in (zip, 7z or rar format) or directories (aka Projects).
• A "Bain Conversion File" or "BCF" is a special archive that tells Bash how to convert a standard archive into a Bain-ready archive. It also contains any new files that weren't present in the original archive. BCF's allow mod users to easily share their custom Bain compilations.
• When you first visit the Installers tab after starting Bash, Bain will need to go through an initialization process. If you've done this before, and no new packages are installed, and the machine is "warm", then it will take on the order of ten seconds.
• However, if you have just added a bunch of packages, then Bain will take longer to intitialize, since it will need to scan all new/modified packages.
• If Bain is disabled (which you may have done by answering 'No' on the first time visit to the Bain tab), you can re-enable it by right clicking on the column tab and choosing 'Enable'.
• You can disable Bain entirely by unchecking "Enabled" in the column context menu on the Installers tab. (Note that this does not erase previously stored info. I.e. it's safe to disable Bain and then later re-enable it if you prefer.)
• You can choose to "Avoid on Startup" (again from column context menu). This will cause Bash to try to avoid the Installers tab when it starts up. And since Bain won't initialize until you visit the Installers tab, you'll save a bit of time if you weren't planning on visiting it anyway.
• If you're a modder with existing project directories, you can move those to the Installers directory too.
• Some packages may be green, but most (even ones that you have previously installed) will likely be red. (Even if you have installed a package, Bain's Doc File Sweeping means that some files will be in unexpected places.
• For each package, you can select it, and then review its details in the Debug text box. In particular, look for Missing and Overridden files.
• For complex packages, you will likely want to configure their sub-packages before activating them.
• For packages with unrecognized structure (grey checkbox and name), you'll need to restructure the package's directories and files to something more like what Bain expects before you can install them.
Icon colors indicate the degree to which the package is synchronized with the Oblivion\Data directory:
• Green: Package is fully synced. Note that a package can be green even if it is not "Active". E.g. if you have two identical packages and one is (fully) installed, then it will be green and checked. But the identical package will also be green – since it too is fully synced with the data directory.
• Orange: All package files are present in the data directory, but some esps/esms are not identical. (E.g. another package installed an alternative version of that file, or the user modified the file after installation.)
• Yellow: All package files are present in the data directory, but some resource files are not identical. (E.g. another package installed an alternative version of that file, or the user modified the file after installation.)
• White: This is relatively rare. It just means that the package is configured in a way that it has no files to install. This can happen for complex packages where none of the sub-packages are checked.
• Grey: This indicates that the package has a structure that Bain does not recognize, and so cannot install.
• Red X: The package is corrupt and/or incomplete. You'll likely see this for packages that you are currently downloading into the Installers directory.
• Square: A mod package archive. Note that only rar, 7z and zip formats are supported.
• Blue: Indicates a package with sub-packages. The files to be installed, and thus the install state of the package will depend on which sub-packages you have activated.
• Grey: This indicates that the package has a structure that Bain does not recognize, and so, cannot install.
• Orange: Indicates that the install is dirty. This will occur for packages for which the configuration has been altered (either by altering active sub-packages and esmps, or by altering the package itself). This can be repaired by running Anneal or Anneal All.
• Yellow: Indicates that the package has "underrides" i.e. some of its installed files should be overridden by higher order packages. This may happen after reordering mods that have already been installed. It can be repaired by running Anneal or Anneal All.
Details for the currently selected package will be show on the right. There are (currently) three fields here:
The tabs at the top display several types of information relevant to the current mod. Note that much of this information is dependent on the install status of the mod and sometimes it's order.
• General: Shows summary info and the files to be installed – as determined by sub-package, esp/m, voice filtering, etc.
• Mismatched: Files which are present in the data directory, but which aren't identical to the package's version of those files.
• Conflicts: Shows which other packages will conflict the current package and for what files. Note that if a given file is mismatched, but the mismatch isn't due to other packages, then it won't appear. This report can be modified to show inactive conflicts and/or lower order conflicts through Package Header Commands.
• Dirty: Shows files which the package previously installed, but which now should be removed or altered due to a reconfiguration of the package. Dirty files can be cleared by running Anneal or Anneal All.
This will be blank unless the package has sub-packages. You can determine which of these to install simply by checking the ones you want. Note that sub-packages are installed in the order they appear. So if different subinstallers have different versions of the same file, then the subinstaller that is later in the list (and active) will win.
This tab can be used to filter out specific esps and esms from a packages. This is intended for use with packages that provide alternate and optional mods. Note that Esp/m filtering is applied after sub-package filtering. E.g. it may be easier to turn off a sub-package entirely rather than disable individual espms from it.
This is a field where you can enter comments about the package. Useful for keeping track of what the package is supposed to do, etc.
• If the package has esps, esms or bsa's at the top level, or if it has any of the regular Oblivion\Data subdirectories (e.g. Meshes, Textures) at that level, then it will be categorized as a simple package.
• If a package is not simple, but has subdirectories which appear simple (have esps/esms/bsas and/or have standard sub-directories), then it will be categorized as complex.
• In this case, each top level subdirectory (that appears simple), will be treated as a sub-package, and you'll be able to activate or deactivate it as desired before installing.
• If a package is complex, but has only one sub-package, then it will appear as a simple package in the interface. (I.e. there will be no sub-package options.)
A few files are skipped silently. Files in this group are: Thumbs.db files, and the omod conversion directory and its subfiles.
Files and directories that begin with '--' (two dashes) and are at either the top level of the package or the top level of a subpackage will be silently skipped.
• This is for modders who want to keep files related to the project in the project directory, but not have it be considered for syncing with is useful for project directories and files for modders
• It's also useful for including material in a package archive that is there for background info, but should not be installed. E.g. screenshots, copies of resource readmes, etc.
Bain will skip files from directories that it does not recognize. I.e. it will only install files that go directly into the Oblivion\Data directory or one of its regular subdirectories (Meshes, Textures, Sound, etc.). Files from irregular directories will be skipped. If this happens, you'll find them listed in the debug pane on the right.
Bain will skip files with certain extensions - mostly executables (exe, dll, dlx) and subarchives (7z,zip, etc.). Again, these will be listed in the debug pane on the right. (But only if they're not already skipped because of the directory that they're in.)
In order to prevent clutter and centralize doc file storage, Bain will sweep files that appear to be doc files into Oblivion\Data\Docs. Also, files named simply readme.txt (or readme.doc, etc.) will be renamed according to the package name before being swept into the Docs directory.
Bain assigns an install order to all packages. When packages are installed and/or uninstalled, the order is considered in determining which files will actually be installed/uninstalled.
• Install order is shown the table in the "Order" column.
• All packages are moved to just before the ==Last== marker when Bain first encounteres them.
• Order can be changed by right clicking on a package (or group of selected packages) and selecting "Move To". Just enter the position to which the packages should be moved. If you're moving many packages at once, they'll keep their relative order, with the "oldest" moving to the specified position, and the others following after it.
• You can also use Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down to change the order of packages. This preserves their relative load order without moving them as a block.
• Last is a special marker entry that Bain automatically adds to the archive list. It corresponds to the position at which any newly encountered packages are inserted. if you want specific packages (e.g. your personal projects) to always have high order, then move them to after the ==Last== marker.
• When you install a package, then the order of higher packages will be respected. I.e. if the package being installed conflicts with a higher order package that's already active, then it won't overwrite the files from the higher package. Rather, only the files that don't conflict with higher packages will be installed. (However, if you want to overwrite later packages, then you can use the "Install Last" command, which will move the selected packages to the end of the list and then install them.)
• Uninstalling a package will also respect order. Specifically, files that are owned by higher order packages will be left in place. More than that, files that aren't owned by the package being uninstalled will also be left in place. (Hence manually edited mods and files will be left in place.)
• Also, if a lower order package installed an identical version of a given file, then that file will not be removed. (I.e. ownership will cede to the lower order file.)
• By the way, you can "uninstall" packages that aren't active. This is useful for cleaning out the files from packages that you have previously installed.
• When you uninstall packages, Bain will also attempt to "anneal" the file system by restoring any files from active packages that were previously blocked by the packages being uninstalled. If you prefer that Bain not auto-anneal files, then you can deactivate "Auto-Anneal" from the context menu of the column header.
• For the screenshot, just copy a jpg file to the omod conversion data directory and rename it to "screenshot" (with NO extension).
• If you need a script file, you can create script.txt in the omod conversion data directory. You can edit this file with any text editor. (However, testing/debugging the script is best done in OBMM itself.)
Bain Conversion Files (BCFs) allow modders to essentially repackage existing archives into a new layout. A BCF doesn't contain any files that are available in the original archives. This means that a BCF is freely distributable, and there is typically no need to worry about permissions. The only files included in a BCF are any new files that you added to the new layout (typically "package.txt" and *.ini tweaks), and a BCF.dat that tells Bash how to reorganize the files. A BCF is usually under 20kb in size.
• The fastest way to access this directory is to open Bash, navigate to the Installers Tab, and right-click on the column header and choose "Open...". This opens Oblivion Mods\Bash Installers and you should easily see the BCF directory.
• BCFs must end in -BCF.7z, but the resulting converted archive may use .7z or .zip.
• Name the new archive, and choose whether to use solid compression. Solid compression will improve performance (at the cost of disk space), so it is only really recommended for archives such at Qarl's Texture Pack 3. The name will be used as the default suggestion for the BCF name. If this archive uses solid compression, the converted archive will too.
• Set any options on the new archive package that you wish to be initially set whenever the BCF is applied.
• Select all of the source archives in the Installers Tab, right-click and choose "Create..." under the "Conversions" menu. Select the target archive (that you just created and setup), and name the BCF.
• Look over the result log, and make sure that it looks alright. If there is a large number of contained files in the BCF, you may have chosen the wrong source or target archive.
• If it looks wrong (large size, large number of contained files), you may either open the BCF directory and manually delete the new file, or you may simply overwrite it by creating a BCF with the same name.
• If it looks right, you can find the BCF in the BCF for distribution. It is recommended that you copy/paste the result log into your readme for your BCF.
You've downloaded a bunch of BCFs. Now what?
• Simply copy all of the *-BCF.7z files that you downloaded into your BCF directory.
• Bash will only display the BCFs that are currently valid. Valid BCFs are those that end in -BCF.7z, and have all of their required source archives visible on the Installers Tab.
• If a source archive has any associated BCFs, you will see them listed when you right-click an archive package and open the "Conversions" sub menu. If the "Apply" menu is grayed out, then there are no valid BCFs for that particular archive.
• An asterisk is added to the end of the BCF name for every source archive it requires that you don't have currently selected (but do have installed).
• Choose a name for the converted archive, or use the default name suggested.
• Wait while Bash unpacks the source archive, rearranges the files, and packs the converted archive.
• Once finished, you are free to delete the original archives if you so desire.
• If the assumption is wrong, then then some random TesNexus page will be selected.
The following commands are available by right clicking on the column header of the Installers tab:
If you're currently using the Textures BSA facility, you should switch to using the newer BSA Redirection method instead.
• Click the "Restore" button to restore the Textures archive to its original state.
• Go to the Installers tab and activate "BSA Redirection" from the main context menu (right click on the main column header).
• Sort Mod list items by (left) clicking on a column header, or by
using the sort submenu of the column popup menu.
• Reverse a sort by redoing it. E.g., left click on the File column header
twice in a row.
• Force ESMS to the top of the list by selecting "Sort by Type" from the
context menu.
• Force selected mods to the top of the list by selecting "Sort by Selection"
from the context menu.
• Activate mods by clicking on the checkbox next to their name or by pressing the space bar when the mod is selected.
• Note: When a mod is activated, it's master mods will also be activated.
• Conversely, when a mod is deactivated, any mods that depend on it (its "children") will also be deactivated.
• Checkbox colors indicate the "health" of the mod file's master files.
• Orange: Some mods have changed order. Oblivion and TESCS will adjust for this when you load. However, if some of the mods that you depend made conflicting changes to the same item, a different mod may now dominate because of the reordering.
• Red: A master is missing. You should check to make sure that you have not inadvertently renamed or removed the mod.
• Oftentimes users will have different versions of the same mod, or different mods which do the same sort of thing in an incompatible way. Exclusion groups can be used to help flag these mods so that you don't accidentally activate more than one at once. When an exclusion group is violated, all violating mods will be highlighted in orange.
• Defining an exclusion group is easy – just change the name of the mod to include a comma. The part of the name before the comma is the exclusion group.
• The "Drop Lit Torches in Combat" mod come in several variants with different messages and levels of brightness: plain, B (Brighter), NM (No messages) and BNM (Brighter, No Messages).
• Rename these to: "Combat Torch, A.esp" (plain), "Combat Torch B,esp", "Combat Torch, NM.esp" and "Combat Torch, BNM.esp"
• Different mods of same type: "Overhaul, Oscuro.esp", "Overhaul, Adventurers.esp".
• Make changes to the file in the details view.
• Note that this affects file order.
• The masters list show the esm files that the current mod depends on, and the load order (modIndex) of that master.
• This field lists any bash tags assigned to the current mod. You can alter the tags by right clicking on the field and checking/unchecking specific tags.
• In case of conflicts between mods (e.g., two mods changing the same race), the last mod to load "wins", i.e., overwrites any changes made by any previous mod.
• Since load order is determined largely by modified date, load ordering utilities (including Bash) allow you to configure load order by setting the modified date of mods.
• However, Bash goes further than load ordering – it maintains the load order of mods by resetting their modified dates as needed.
• You can change the load order of any file by editing it's modified date in the details panel and saving the changes.
• You can alphabetically sort several mods at once by selecting them and then selecting "File: Sort" from the context menu.
• You can move files up and down the load order with Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down, respectively. This also works when multiple files are selected, and preserves their relative load order.
• You can select multiple files and use the "Redate" command. The first mod will be moved to the specified date/time, with other mods following at one minute intervals.
• First, make sure that the "Lock Times" option is selected on the column header context menu.
• Then, after making any changes to mod files, bring the main Bash window to the foreground, and Bash will reset times as needed.
• If you want to use another load ordering utility (e.g., Oblivion Mod Manager), then be sure to turn off Lock Times first. When you're done using the other utility, you can turn Lock Times back to continue to maintain the new load order.
These are the commands for the context menu for the mods list. (You'll get this menu by right-clicking on the header of the mods list.)
• The main problem with ghosting is that it hides mods not only from Oblivion.exe, but also from non-Bash utilities. To deal with this, you have two options:
• Aside from using checkboxes to select and unselect mods, you can also use load lists. These are accessed through the column context menu, and work in the same way at the Load Masters command.
• This feature allows you to quickly modify Oblivion.ini by copying settings from an Ini Tweak file. Ini tweak files are just like Oblivion.ini, except they contain only the section/key settings that are to be changed.
• Displays list of currently active mods and copies that same list to the clipboard. Useful for posting your list of mods to forums for load debugging help.
• This feature will activate debug printout. Note that there are few commands for which this will have an effect. (E.g. Update Save Levels... will be affected.)
• Snapshots are indicated by appending to "-l.n.m" to the root of the
file name. E.g., "My.esp" becomes "My-01.esp" or "My Mod v1.01.esp" becomes "My Mod v1.01-01.esp".
• Note that Bash will automatically generate the next available snapshot
number. However, you are free to choose a different number if you like.
• Also, if there's an existing version line (e.g., "Version NN.MM-LL")
in the description field of the mod, then it will updated with the new version plus snapshot number when the snapshot is saved.
• Use this on seldom used mods to keep them from cluttering the mods
listing.
• This is especially useful when modding, since the TESCS Data list
cannot be sorted.
• Note that there's a corresponding "Unhide..." command in the column context menu.
• If the file's group is defined (e.g. Heads), and if the Bash\Hidden directory has a subdirectory with the same name (e.g. Bash\Hidden\Heads), then the file will be hidden in it.
• Modified time of first mod is set to time of first selected mod. Other mods follow it at one minute increments.
• Bash will make a backup of a file the first time it is significantly
changed in an application session.
• E.g., if you make two or three changes to a file in a given application
session, then only the first change will generate a backup.
• The first backup is generated the first time that Bash alters a file, and
is never overwritten. Hence it is guaranteed to be free of any problem that Bash might introduce.
• Adds specified master to list of masters, thus ceding ownership of new content of this mod to the new master. Useful for splitting mods into esm/esp pairs.
• This command will remove the effects of a 'compile all' by removing all scripts whose texts appear to be identical to the version that they override.
• If multiple files are selected, this is only available if the entire selection qualifies to be espified or esmified.
• Systematically replace formids with alternates. This is for advanced modders only. Useful if a mod depends on elements from one master, and you want to replace those with equivalent elments from another master.
• First step is generating an old formid to new formid mapper file. This file is basically a spreadsheet (in csv format) that lists all of the old formids and the new formids that they map to. Obviously if you already have such a file, then you can skip this step.
• Second, you apply the mapper to a given mod to given mod.
• If you have Tes4View, then you'll probably want to use it since it's easy to use and covers all uses of formids.
• First, create a formid mapper file. This is a csv spreadsheet. You'll find an example at Oblivion\Data\Bash Patches\TI to Cobl_Formids.csv.
• Record type: (ACTI, INGR, etc.). Actually, Bash ignores this column, but its a good idea to have it set the type of the old formid.
• Old Mod and Old Object: Together, these constitute the formid (long version) of the original object.
• New Mod and New Object: Together, these constitute the formid (long version) of the replacement object.
• To build the file, use Export: Editor Ids on both the old and new mods (old mod is the one that defines the objects you'll be replacing, and the new mod is the one that defines the objects you'll be using as replacements). Open these csv files up, then use spreadsheet-fu to merge them into the desired format. You'll likely want to:
• Trim each spreadsheet before trying to combine them (i.e. chop each list down to just the relevant entries).
• Move the column of old eids so that it replaces the column of old record types.
• After merging the two csv files, you'll need to add and remove cells to make sure that the entries line up correctly.
• Note that it's okay if either the old side or the new side of a given row is empty. If bash sees that either the old or the new entry is missing, it will ignore the row.
• Note that the new type does not have to be the same as the old type. E.g. you might replace an old misc. item with a new leveled list. But of course, the types should be compatible. E.g., replacing a spell with a misc. object would be a bad idea.
• Start Tes4Edit with the mod loaded, then select "Batch Change Referencing Records", and the select the XXX_Formids.csv file that you just created. Tes4Edit will apply the changes to every record that uses that formid.
• You may need to first add the dependency to the mod. E.g. if you're replacing OOO items with Cobl items, then you'll first need to make the mod dependent on Cobl Main.esm. You can do this using TESCS or Tes4Edit.
• Once the dependencies are set, just use the Import: Formids command on the mod with the desired Formids.csv file. You'll get a report afterwards.
• It's probably a good idea to create a copy of the original file and make the changes on it. That way you can use Tes4View to do a before/after comparison to check the changes. (You'll want to use Tes4View's Compare To... command.)
• If you've completely swapped from one base mod to another, then you may want to remove the old dependency. You can use that using Tes4Edit (Clean Masters command) or Tes4Gecko (Edit Master List). Note that Tes4Edit will only remove masters that you're not using at all. Tes4Gecko will remove used masters (with appropriate cleanup), and is a bit more manual – i.e. it will only remove masters that you specify.
• Export and import editor ids. This is for advanced modders only. It allows you to export editor ids to a csv file, systematically modify them and then reimport them. I.e., it's only useful if you want to change the editor ids of a lot of items at once.
• The import command will also update the text of regular scripts (but not quest stage scripts or dialog scripts) to adjust for any name changes.
• If no scripts were changed, then don't worry about it. (If any scripts were changed, they'll be reported at the end of the import.)
• If scripts were changed, then test the mod and recompile if necessary.
e.g. MISC Oblivion.esm 0x0123456 newEid oldEid
• Export Names exports object names from the mod to a tab delimited spreadsheet file. You can then edit this file and re-import it, import the file to another mod or use it with the Import Names.
• Import Names imports object names from either another mod or a spreadsheet file created by Export Object Names.
• Exporting/importing is done on the basis of type (ARMO, BOOK, etc.) and formids.
• All records in the TESCS "Objects Window" with names are supported. Cells and dialog are not.
• Systematic name manipulation for mass renaming mods. Also, application of those names to other mods that tweak items. (E.g., applying Rational Names to OOO.)
• Mod translation. This automates some of the work in mod translation. E.g., if an English mod re-balances weapons, the re-balanced items will have the English names. But by importing names from a German version of Oblivion.esm, you'll quickly revert those items to the German names.
• For new items, export the names from the revised mod, edit the resulting spreadsheet and then re-import it.
• Of course, this is only part of the work in localization. Cells are not affected, nor are racial voices.
• Single file can cover multiple mods. Names for mods that aren't loaded will be ignored.
• NPC leveling is only part of the leveling system. Leveled item lists also have a major impact, and there are creature levels as well – neither of which is addressed by this feature.
• NPC levels in existing saves will not be impacted by this, unless you then use the "Import NPC Levels" command on the save. (Note that while mods import levels from a csv file, saves import their levels from a mod.)
• The file format is pretty straightforward – you should be able to read/edit it with most spreadsheet programs. When reading be sure to set the program to recognize tabs as separators. Also, be sure to save in the same tab separated format.
• The second column is the editor id. This is for convenience only and is ignored on import.
• The last four columns are the original NPC levels from Oblivion.esm. If the NPCs are new to the mod, these columns will be blank. These are for convenience only and are ignored on import.
• Note that only NPCs that are dynamically leveled (i.e., offset from the player's level) are included in the export file. The "bOffset Oblivion" column indicates whether the NPC was also dynamically offset in Oblivion.esm.
• These paired functions allow you to export ammo, apparatus, armor, book, clothing, ingredient, key, light, misc object, sigil stone, soulgem and weapon stats to a spreadsheet file, edit the file and then reimport the stats. The exported file can also be used with the Import Stats.
• Systematically editing weapon statistics to fit a weapon quality paradigm (e.g. Medieval Oblivion Balance System (MOBS)) or systematically editing object prices to fit a scheme. The spreadsheet makes it easy to view and edit the stats in a systematic way.
• The spreadsheet is written/read as a csv file. After making changes, be sure to save in this format. Also, stat values must be numbers, not formulas.
• Any line in which the entry in the third column does not begin with "0x" will be ignored when Bash reads the file, and so can be used for comments, etc.
• These paired functions allow you to export spell stats to a spreadsheet file, edit the file and then reimport the stats. The exported file can also be used with the Import Spell Stats.
• Systematically editing spell statistics to fit a spell quality paradigm etc. The spreadsheet makes it easy to view and edit the stats in a systematic way.
• The spreadsheet is written/read as a csv file. After making changes, be sure to save in this format. Also, stat values must be numbers, not formulas.
• Any line in which the entry in the third column does not begin with "0x" will be ignored when Bash reads the file, and so can be used for comments, etc.
• Displays list of masters for mod, and copies same list to the clipboard.
• Scans the selected mods to determine if they are mergeable or not.
• Use of this command is optional since it basically replicates a scan that Bash automatically does on any new or changed files. However, this command may still be useful to modders since it reports why unmergeable mods are unmergeable.
• Use of the command is now optional. (Previous to v217, Bash did not autoscan for mergeability.)
• Systems with Nvidia cards can suffer a black screen bug when the player enters interior cells where near fog, far fog and fog clipping distance are all equal to 0. To avoid this, this function scans the mod and sets near fog to 0.001 in problem cells.
• This command is for modders and advanced players only. Less experienced players will generally not need to use this.
• Some mods have a mild corruption in their file structure called "Orphaned World Groups". This happens when the world record that should be preceed all groups of exterior cells is missing from the mod.
• The corruption seems to happen automatically due to a mild bug in the construction set. If a mod is edited in the CS; and the mod has an esp master; and the esp master has exterior world cells; then the children cells for that master are added to the mod being edited regardless of whether the dependent mod edits them or not. But the matching world record is not edited. Hence: orphaned world groups.
• It's not really known if the orphaned world groups will cause any problem. At the least, they're unnecessary. Hence modders should probably remove them from their own mods.
• If you have orphaned world groups, it will be mentioned by bash when you're rebuilding the bashed patch. You an also see them while reviewing the mod in Tes4View – you'll see a world group without a corresponding world record.
• This command simply removes the orphaned world groups from the mod.
• This command is for advanced modders only. If you don't know what it does, you don't need it. If you do need it, you should probably use TES4Edit instead.
• Oblivion can crash if one mod deletes a references and a mod later in the load order references the deleted reference.
• One solution to this problem is to undelete the deleted reference, and mark it initially disabled instead.
• One problem with this is that deleted reference records contain a bare minimum of information, and Bash doesn't add back the missing data. TES4Edit does.
• Resets the file version number of a mod file back to an older version (0.8) so that the older construction set can edit it. The feature is somewhat dated now that the updated construction set is available, but is still useful for modders who prefer to work with the older CS. (Note that the newer CS has some bugs that the older CS does not.)
Bash Auto Load Ordering (aka Balo) will semi-automatically sort your mods into a few predefined groups. Currently its still necessary to specify for each mod which group it belongs to, but future versions of Balo may provide additional automation in this area.
• All mods must be assigned to a group. If no group is currently assigned, then the mod will be assigned to the special group "NONE".
• Groups do not interleave.
• Mods within the NONE group may be moved up and down relative to each other, but cannot be interleaved with mods in other groups.
• NONE is always next to last. It cannot have offset groups.
• You'll get this dialog when you first activate Full Balo. You can also get it at any time that Full Balo is active by right clicking on a mod and selecting "Group: Edit..."
• The default groups will probably be sufficient for your needs. However, you may want to add some new groups as well.
• Add/rename/remove/reposition groups as desired. (But again, keep in mind the utility of the default groups.)
• Select any group and use the spin boxes to set the allowed offsets in either direction.
• Offsets can only be reduced when the offset are not in use. E.g. if you have mods assigned to Overhaul-1, then the minimum that you'll be able to set the lower offset for Overhaul to is -1.
• Click "Save" to save changes. This will create new groups, and group headers and set the relative loader order of all selected groups.
• Select one or more mods (you can use shift and control keys to select multiple mods).
• Right click one of selected mods and choose "Group: [Group Name]" to assign the selected mods to that group.
• As soon as the group is assigned, the selected mods will immediately be resorted in alphabetical order under the group header for that group.
• Balo will automatically assign groups to mods the first time it encounters them. This will happen either when you turn Full Balo on, or when you add new mods to your mods directory and then return to Bash's screen.
• If the mod is tagged with "Group: GroupName", then that mod will be assigned to group GroupName – if that's a valid balo group.
• If the mod is listed in Oblivion\Data\Bashed Patch\Bash_Groups.csv directory, then the group listed there will be used – if it's a valid balo group.
• To turn off automatic grouping.
• Uncheck "Auto Groups" just above "Full Balo".
• With Auto Groups turned off, all unknown mods will be assigned to "NONE" group.
Balo provides a default "canonical" set of groups designed to reduce problems due to conflicts between mods.
• It's a good idea to reserve the base "Last" group to Bashed patches, and then use Last-1, Last+1 offset groups for other late loading mods.
• Group Headers are special empty mods that act as "anchors" for the mods in a sorting group. You'll find these mods at the top of their respective groups with names like "++ROOT========.esp".
• Full Balo automatically creates and removes headers as necessary. However, if you aren't using Full Balo, you can still take advantage of some special sorting rules associated with group headers.
• It's possible to define your own group headers and rearrange the relative order of existing group headers.
• A group header is defined by two things: 1) membership in the specific group, and 2) a mod name that begins with "++". Hence, you can define new groups and change the name of existing group headers so long as you follow these rules. However, it's usually best to follow existing scheme of "++[GROUP NAME]========.esp" since this is more consistent, and makes group headers stand out.
• You can change the relative position of group headers by changing their "Modified" time in the field to the right. But... Be sure that the modified times of header groups are at least 1 day apart. Otherwise, groups may end up overlapping.
• If you need to create a new header from scratch, click an existing mod and choose File: "New Mod..."
• It's possible to define an unsorted group header. Just use same procedure as above, but preface the group header name with '==' instead of '++'.
• However, unsorted group headers are purely cosmetic. They're mainly only useful since they're highlighted and appear in mods lists just like auto-sorted groups.)
• Modders can tag their mods so that they'll automatically be assigned to a group the first time Bash sees them. Note that this will only work the first time that Bash sees the mod.
• To tag a mod, include the line "Group: [Group Name]" in the description field of the mod. (E.g. "Group: Tweak+1".) The tag must be on a line by itself.
• Probably Bash has automatically created one for you. If not, you can copy the blank one from Oblivion\Mopy\Extras to Oblivion\Data.
• Right click on the Bashed Patch and select "Rebuild Patch..." This will bring up a dialog in which you can activate and configure various patcher components.
• To configure a component, select it. Note that:
• Most components will try to automatically configure themselves, but you may still need to tweak their settings.
• Once you have at least one component selected, the OK button will become enabled. Click on it to update the patch, or click Cancel quit without updating the patch mod.
• Bashed Patches should be last or nearly last in the load order. Only mods that load before the patch will be processed in the update process.
• When you unload (remove from the load list) a mod that a bashed patch is dependent on, then the patch will also become unloaded. In this, case, you should update the patch before reloading it.
• If you reload the patch before updating, it will force reload of all its masters – including the one you just unloaded!
• Do you typically switch between different sets of loaded mods? Then you should probably have one Bashed Patch for each set. I typically have a different Save Profile for each such loadset, and then name the corresponding patch after the set. E.g., for save profiles Elise 1 and Elise 2, I have Bashed Patches: Bashed Patch, Elise 1.esp and ~Bashed Patch, Elise 2.esp.
• It's slightly difficult to view the contents of a Bashed Patch, since it uses esp-mastering (i.e., it has esps as well as esms as masters).
• However, if you would like to open/edit in TESCS, then you'll need to use the Espify/Esmify Masters command. (Be sure to Espify Masters before playing.)
• Several of Bash's features (e.g., automatic selection) of mods require that the source mods be tagged with Bash Tags. You can view and edit the tags that are currently assigned to any mod in the Bash Tags field at the bottom right of the Mods tab.
• InventOnly: Deprecated. Equivalent to Invent + IIM.
• Merge: Obsolete. Ignored.
• NoMerge: Mod should not be merged even though they're technically mergeable.
• You can manually set the tags that are applied to any mod by right clicking in the Bash Tags field and checking and unchecking tags as you like. Manual tags are shared for all users on a given computer.
• If you have edited tags but want to revert to automatic tagging, just right click and choose "Automatic".
• Modders may want to copy their tags to the Description field before releasing their mod (this will make your tag settings automatic for users of your mod). Again, right click and choose "Copy to Description".
• If the bash tags field is set to "Automatic" for a given mod (which is by default), then Bash will attempt to automatically tag the mod according to one of several sources. These sources are, in order of priority:
• The description field.
• BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Software) masterlist.txt file. This file includes bash tags for some of the mods it has listed. Note that you do not need to use BOSS in order to benefit from this. All that's required is that BOSS's masterlist.txt file be present in the Oblivion\Data folder.
• Bash Patches\Leveled Lists.csv file. This file has a very small list and is largely surpassed by BOSS. (But is useful for people who don't have BOSS installed.)
• Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that all mods will be correctly tagged. However, between the description field and BOSS, most important tags are covered.
• Users sometimes rename mods in order to improve usability or allow different versions of the same mod (e.g., "Oscuros_Oblivion_Overhaul.esp" to "OOO.esp"). Naturally this will confuse bash when it tries to read an imported text file which uses the old "canonical" name. To compensate for this, this component can be used to alias the canonical name to the local name.
• This component causes Bash to fully merge the content of specified patch files into the bashed patcher, thus allowing you to remove the patch mod from the load order.
• Only contain record types that Bash recognizes (e.g., no game settings, cells, dialog, etc.)
• Not contain any new records – i.e., it must only patch records that already exist.
• Determination of whether a given mod is mergeable or not is done automatically by Bash. Mods that are mergeable are marked with green text in the main mod list. If a given mod is not mergeable and you would like to know why, run the Mark Mergeable command on it. (Note that the old "Merge" tag is now ignored.)
• If during construction of the patch, records in the mod are overridden by another mod that loads after it, then the later loading mod will win. In other words, the ordinary record shadowing rules are applied while merging. (Hence, it can be useful to think of a merged mod as being virtually active.)
• This is advanced option that allows records in a merged mod to be selectively filtered according to the current load list. E.g., suppose a patch mod modifies records from MMM and OOO. This feature can be used to discard the changes to MMM if MMM is not currently loaded. The advantage of this is that, rather than having two separate patch mods (one for MMM and one for OOO), it's possible to have just one patch mod for both.
This is an advanced option that can be taken advantage of by advanced modders – but beware, it can be a little confusing.
• Filtering is mostly limited to the top level.
• E.g., if MMM is not loaded, then changes to MMM specific records will be skipped.
• However, if a record has been changed so that it refers to a record from a mod that is not loaded – then that reference will (usually) not be filtered out. Hence the bashed patch will end up dependent on that mod after all.
• Entries in leveled lists will be filtered. E.g. if a leveled list has items from MMM, but MMM is not active, then the MMM entries will be discarded.
• Filtering is done according to the currently active mods. Hence, it is important when building the patch, to make sure that all desired mods are activated! It this isn't the case, then the patch is likely to end up not including changes from the filtered mod that it should include.
• This is a hack designed to support Vacuity's Item Interachange Mode. It's a "hack" because it's horribly inelegant and is inconsistent with the rest of bash patching approach. But it works and its simpler than rewriting a bunch of code to support a special case.
• Prevents the records from the mod from being merged into the patch. I.e. although the patch is marked as "Merged" and is supposedly merged in, in fact it's not. Except for leveled list records. Those go in.
• Prevents all patch components except for the leveled list merger and the inventory importer from even looking at the mod. Leveled list merger treats the mod in the usual way. However, the inventory import mod treats the mod record specially, ignoring all changes except inventory changes. The point of this is to cause Inventory Import to import only inventory. Thus II mods can "load" after the mod that they change and yet be guaranteed to only modify inventory.
• Ugh. But it works for II. :sigh:
• For selected mods, each of that tags will import the related information into the bashed patch if necessary.
• In case two source mods modify the same cell in the same way, then the later loading source mod will win. If they modify the same cel in different ways (e.g. one changes water, the other changes ownership), then both changes will be included in the patch.
• To get source csv files, export factions from an existing mod. This can then be edited as desired.
• Editor ids are shown for convenience only. Internally, its the mod/object index pair that determines both the actor and the faction.
• Faction lists do not need to be complete for each actor. I.e. you only need to list the actor/faction pairs that you wish to add/change. If a mod has has an actor assigned to some faction, but the imported data doesn't address that rank, then the actor will retain that rank.
• To remove an actor from a faction, set their rank to -1. (You can only do this in a spreadsheet.)
Most graphics replacers work by replacing textures and meshes. However, sometimes such replacers are done by modifying the mod to point to different meshes and/or textures than the original mod. This is often done when vanilla Oblivion only offers a few simple meshes for a large number of objects, while the replacer aims to diversify the graphics for those objects (e.g. Phoenix Amon's Book Jackets mod). This patcher resolves this by extracting graphics components from specified mods and merging them into other changes to the same records.
Only the following types of records are handled. Other types do not commonly require patching, or are not yet supported by Bash.
• Icons only: birthsigns, loadscreens, region, land texture (probably actually the texture)
• Icons and Models: potions, ammo, apparatus, books, ingredients, keys, misc., sigil stones, soul gems, weapons, clothing, armor, tree (icon probably is texture).
• Handles most named objects types (except lights). Does not handle GMSTs, cells, landmarks or dialogs. If source mods is fully covered (no GMSTs, cells, etc.) then it does not need to be loaded after merging.
• A names patcher file that covers guards, legion soldiers, couriers, and a few other generically named characters and creatures from both Oblivion and Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.
• A names patcher file for Rational Names is included. This includes all of the name changes of the Rational Names 2 mod (but not the GMST settings for soul gem strings). It also includes additional name changes to cover Shivering Isles, Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul and a few more mods.
• Note that it is best not to edit this file directly since it is included in the Bash distribution. Instead, duplicate and edit as desired.
• This option will merge changes to npc, container and creature inventories from the selected mods. Only mods marked with the Invent or InventOnly tag will appear in the list.
• "InventOnly" is a hack – i.e. "a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well." It's there to support Vacuity's Item Interchange and that's pretty much it. It probably should not be used except for Item Interchange or a mod very much like II. Ideally, it should be separated into two tags: Invent,IIHack – where it would still be hack, but at least a more clearly labeled hack.
• Sometimes it's desirable to change only the inventory of an actor or container. This is desirable when modifying the inventory of creatures that have been changed by overhauls – especially when you can't rely on the overhauls being present.
• This feature is primarily concerned with removing, replacing and adding completely new items to inventories. If a mod only changes the number of items in an inventory, then this feature will ignore that change.
• If an early source adds two daedric arrows, while a later source adds three daedric arrows, then the patch will contain three daedric arrows.
• If an early source replaces a steel sword with steel dagger, but a later source replaces the steel sword with an daedric dagger; then the patch will have the daedric dagger but not the steel dagger.
• If a source tries to remove anything, but fails because that item is already present or a later mod has already removed it, then none of the changes from the source will be applied.
This patcher component will extract the face, hair and eyes data from an NPC face modifying mod (which is to say any/all of the Tamriel NPCs Revamped mods), and add it to the patch, merging it over any changes to those same NPCs from other mods.
• Allows faction relation(ship)s to be imported from source mods and/or source csv files.
• To get source csv files, export relations from an existing mod. This can then be edited as desired.
• Editor ids are shown for convenience only. Internally, its the mod/object index pair that determines both the actor and the faction.
• Relation lists do not need to be complete for each faction. I.e. you only need to list the main/other pairs that you wish to add/change.
• Road records are used by some world spaces (e.g. Tamriel) to help guide NPCs who are traveling for long distances through that world. Very few mods modify road records, but if it is desired for the road from an earlier loading mod to override the road from a later loading mod, Import Roads can make that happen.
• There are a fair number of mods that change the scripts on items and they often got blocked by the overhauls or cause compatibility problems. This fixes it so only the script change gets brought forward (and non-conflicting data)
• There are not many mods that modify the sounds of existing records, but there are a few mods that tweak the sounds of magic effects (e.g. to silence them). Since magic effect records tend to modified for other reasons as well, other changes to the same records will wipe out the changes to sounds. This patcher component allows you to make sure that changes to the sounds of spells are included in the final version of the record.
• This patcher can be used to modify ammo, apparatus, armor, book, clothing, ingredient, key, light, misc object, sigil stone, soulgem and weapon stats according to specified mods and/or spreadsheet files.
• One use for this is to make sure that weapon stats from one early loading mod are not overridden by a layer loading mod.
• Another use is patch random armor and weapon mods to fit the equipment balancing system specified by one of the overhaul mods. For this use the best approach is to supply a single spreadsheet which rebalances weapons of many mods to fit a given overhaul. When using such a file, Bash will only apply stats for mods that are currently active and ignore the rest.
• Some of the bows in Oblivion (and a few in user mods) have a reach of zero. Due to a bug in the Oblivion engine, if these bows are equipped by an NPC, the game will crash. This patch changes bows with zero reach to have reach == 1. (Note this is also fixed for vanilla Oblivion by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch. However, Shivering Isles introduces more bows with the same problem.)
• << or ^^ or >> at beginning of line generates a div align=xxx tag. (<<: left, ^^: center and >> right).
• Potions in Oblivion are rather heavy by default. This changes the weight of potions to a specified value (0.1 up to 0.8). Note: this does not affect potions with script effects or with current weight >= 1.0. Thus it should not affect alcoholic beverages or scripted "potions" like HTS water skins.
• Turns off flickering effects for lights. May help on machines with low end graphic cards.
• Ensures that cells have at least one non-zero fog value. For avoiding the Nvidia fog-related black screen.
• Makes rings behave more consistently by making all rings prefer to be on the right hand.
• With this tweak activated, rings will only equip to the left hand if the right hand has a ring, but the left hand does not. You can use this to make one ring permanently equipped – just equip it to the left hand and it will stay on until you specifically unequip it.
• Tweaks names of items and spells to make them sort more easily in inventory. For each type of item you can select the format to be used.
• Each code letter is assigned in order to: Amulets, Rings, Gloves, Helmets, Tail items, Robes (upper+lower body), Chest, Pants/Greaves, Boots/Shoes, Shields.
• ABGHINOPSL: Assigns codes to sort more usefully. Amulets, then Rings, etc.
• If you're already using Supreme Magicka or similar spell namer, their label will be overwritten.
• If you only want to remove existing labels, then use the No Label option ("Fire Ball").
Allows you to tweak game behavior in miscellaneous ways. Item ending with a "[xxx]" will allow you to choose a different value. Right click on the item and choose the preferred value from the list.
• Warning: Some quests may be hard to complete when quest markers are turned off (e.g., an early stage of Knights of the Nine).
• Note: While this works with the vanilla interface, it appears to not work with some modifications of the UI. Problem might be changes to the marker icons, or it might be due to the POI recognition tweak.
• Converts powers into lesser powers, but imposes a (potentially fatal) penalty if they're used too frequently.
• When activated, this will check the inventory contents of containers, creatures and NPCs, and the entries of leveled lists to make sure that their entries are of valid types. E.g. it will try to ensure that leveled spell lists only contain spells and other leveled lists.
• If items/entries of incorrect type are found, then they are removed from the container/list. The patch report will list any containers/lists modified and what was removed from them.
• When different mods alter the same leveled list, the last mod to load will "win" overriding any changes made by earlier loading mods. This is particularly a problem with creature and the various releveling mods which alter so many lists.
• To overcome this, it is necessary to merge the changes to the various leveled lists into a new "merged list" mod, and ensure that this new mod loads after all the mods whose lists it merges.
• During the scan process of the patch building, the list merger extracts leveled lists and merges them together. If mods only added items to leveled lists, this process would be simple. However, since mods often want to delete items from lists and/or relevel items in lists, it's often necessary to specify how the lister merger will handle changes from specific mods. This specification is done through Bash Tags and/or manually configuring mods in the list merger dialog.
• If a mod needs to delete items from the original list, then it should be tagged as a Delev mod.
• If a mod needs to change the levels of items that already exist in the list or reverse a previous deletion, then it should be tagged as a Relev mod.
• To tag a mod, right click in the "Bash Tags" field at the bottom right of the Mods tab and check/uncheck tags as necessary. For more info, see Bash Tags.
• Generally it's best to set the bash tags correctly and leave the configuration on auto. However, it's also possible to manually configure delevelers/relevelers.
• To add/remove mods from the list, uncheck Automatic and use the Add/Remove buttons.
• To manually override the Delev/Relev tags for a given mod, right click on the mod name and check/uncheck states as necessary. To return to automatic setting, choose the "Auto" option instead.
• FCOM (aka Kaboom, aka FraBOOOMMM) is a mod by dev_akm and others that attempts to merge the changes from various major mods. While this might seem to be competitive with Bash's List Merger, it's actually complementary, since it's able to intelligently merge complicated list structures as well as correct and merge faction information.
• For further information on using FCOM with Bash, see the FCOM release notes/topics.
• Lists occasionally contain empty sublists, which will cause the list to produce nothing when it selects the sublist.
• As of Bash v 183, the leveled list merger will now remove any empty sublists from a leveled list.
• This is only for users of the Wrye Morph mod 0.05 or higher. It requires Cobl 1.28 or higher.
• Assorted_Exhaust.csv: This patcher extends coverage to the Orrery and Shivering Isles powers.
• Kmacg94_Exhaust.csv: This patcher (by Kmagc94) extends coverage to several more mods (bgBalancingEVCore, Consequences, Kenhanimal's Awsome Vampire Mod, Oblivion War Cry EV, Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, StartX Vanilla Vampires Revised, Vampire Hunter Tools, Vows and Covenants).
• Overview
This patcher component will extract the eyes and hair from the loaded source mods and, if necessary, merge that data over changes from later loading mods that change the same races. (Note that if the source mods are not in the load list, they will not be used.)
• Configuration
• Source mods must contain one or more of the following bash tags.
• Body-M: If specifying male body textures, height, or weight.
• Body-F: If specifying female body textures, height, or weight.
• Eyes: If mod contributes eyes.
• Hair: If contributing hair.
• R.Mouth: If specifying/changing mouth/tongue. (See Merged Mouth.)
• R.Relations: If specifying race relations.
• R.Teeth: If specifying/changing upper/lower teeth. (See Merged Teeth.)
• Voice-M: If specifying male voice.
• Voice-F: If specifying female voice.
E.g., for Beautiful People, the tag should be {{BASH:Hair,Eyes}}.
• Merge Procedure
• Body: The last mod tagged with Body-M (Body-F) will win for males (females). Note that "body" includes: body texture, height and weight – i.e. the winning mod (for a given gender) will determine all of these factors (for that gender).
• Hair: All hairs will be merged into final record.
• Eyes: All eyes will first be merged, then filtered by eye mesh to avoid googly eyes (see below).
• Relations: All relations will be merged into final record. Procedure is pretty much the same as for importing faction relations.
• Voice: The last mod tagged with Voice-M (Voice-F) will win for males (females). This tag is useful for (the very few) mods which replace/change default voices.
• Avoiding Googly Eyes
• "Googly eyes" happens when an eye texture built for one eye mesh is used in combination with a different eye mesh. In vanilla Oblivion, this never happens because all races use the same eye meshes. However, several of the cosmetics mods change the meshes for various races. When different cosmetics mods are mixed or (sometimes) when custom races are used, this can result in at least some eyes for a given race being mismatched to the eye mesh for that race.
• As of version 104, Bash will try to prevent this sort of eye texture/mesh mis-matching. Unfortunately, Bash cannot guarantee success in all cases.
• Some suggestions for modders:
• When adding a custom race, use either only vanilla eyes, or only custom eyes. I.e. do not mix custom eyes and vanilla eyes. If you mix vanill eyes and custom eyes, and if the race is playable, then bash will filter down to just the vanilla eyes.
• When creating a cosmetics mod, do not replace the vanilla eye resource with a different eye mesh resource. Instead, create a new eye mesh resource and use that. Note: If you're using one of the standard alternative eye resources (e.g. Rens) then use the standard path for that. When bash does its filtering, it determines what eye mesh each eye is using, and then filters the eyes for a given race to so that only eyes using the same mesh will be used. This is why it's important for mesh resources to be consistent.
• Unfortunately, one of the most popular race mods, Beautiful People, does replace the standard eye mesh resource. To resolve this, the Beautiful People installation will need to be patched. (Sorry, but I don't know if such a patch is available yet.)
• Suspends Cyrodiil quests while in Shivering Isles.
• Overview:
• Shivering Isle modifies almost all existing quests in Oblivion.esm to add an additional test: GetPlayerInSEWorld == 0. The effect of this test is to suspend almost all Cyrodiilian quests while the player is in Shivering Isles.
• Unfortunately mods that are built on top of the original Oblivion.esm do not include this test. This can sometimes result in strange behavior: SI residents talking about Cyrodiilian topics, etc.
• This feature simply reinstates those tests where mods have removed them.
• You can easily and quickly scan through your mods document files (read me's) from the Doc Browser window. Supported doc types: text files, html and mht (html archives).
• To show the Doc Browser window, go to the Mods Tab and double click on any mod in the main list.
• When you the Doc Browser is showing and you click on the name of a Mod in the Mods Tab, Bash will try to show the document for that mod in the Doc Browser window. If Bash does not know which document to associate with the mod, it will show a blank page.
• To associate a document with a mod:
• Select the mod in the Mods Tab.
• Switch to the Doc Browser and click on "Set Doc..." and use the file dialog to find the document.
• To disassociate a document with a mod:
• Use "Set Doc..." again to pick a different doc. Or...
• Use "Forget Doc..."
• To change the name of a document, click on the "Rename Doc..." button, and use the file dialog to pick a new name/location. The document will be renamed and/or moved to the new directory.
• To view a different document:
• Select the document on the Mods tab. Or...
• Use the mod name list box to select the desired mod.
• To make a text document editable, click the "Edit Doc..." button.
• Note that editable docs will stay editable until you unset "Edit Doc...".
• Also the Edit doc setting is remembered separately for each mod. As you switch between mods, the "Edit Doc..." button will return to the remembered state for that document.
• Any changes to the document will be automatically saved when the mod is changed, the document window is closed or the edit button is unclicked.
• To create a new document, just use "Set Doc..." and pick a file name that doesn't exist yet. This will give you a blank document template - and any changes to it will save automatically, creating the new file.
• To open text doc in external editor:
• Click "Open Doc..."
• If the mod's doc file is a .txt file in Wrye wiki text format, an html version of it will be automatically generated as needed, and this html version will be shown when the doc Browser is not in edit mode.
• Format Documentation and Template:
• The wiki text format is documented in Data\Docs\Bash Readme Template.txt.
• When you create a new readme document (by using "Set Doc..." to a file that doesn't exist yet), you'll be given a template wiki text file. The template used will either be the template above, or Data Files\Docs\My Readme Template.txt if it exists.
• If you rename a mod in the mods tab, Bash will move the document association to the new name.
• Similarly, if you copy a mod, the new copy will be associated with the same document.
• Documents can be stored in different directories.
• If you delete a mod, then Bash will forget about it's document (but won't delete it). However, if you Hide a mod, Bash will remember the document, and you'll still be able to select it from the Doc Browser's mod name list box.
• You may want to move your docs from the Data directory to a new Data\Docs directory. This will reduce clutter somewhat and make documents easier to find.
The Mod Checker allows you to run a check of your active and merged mods. The resulting report will recap configurations, make suggestions and list warnings. You can run the Mod Chcked by clicking the Mod Checker button in the toolbar at the bottom of the main window.
At the top of the report are generic warnings.
• Missing Master: A note like this indicates that an active mod has a master that should be active, but is not. This sort of problem will result in an immediate CTD while trying to launch the game.
• Delinquent Master: This warning indicates that a mod depends on a master that is set to load after the mod itself. This won't necessarily result in a problem, but it's best to fix it anyway (by reordering mods).
The rest of the report is divided into rulesets reports. Rulesets are text files provided by modders and other modders and other players. They basically tell Bash's mod checker which things to look out for and what to say about them in the Mod Checker report.
These warnings may appear the top of the ruleset report. Such warnings are followed by a list of active/merged esps. These are typically are conflicting mods that do almost the same thing. You can resolve this by deactivating all but one of the listed mods.
The rest of the report is divided into mod groups, where "mod groups" are sets of one or more active/merged mods. Each such group can have several subsections:
• Notes:
• Various notes for the mod group.
• Configuration:
• This is just a recap of the configuration of a mod group.
• You'll typically see this for large mods with many separate esp files. It just provides an easy way to review what you do and don't have active.
• Legend: x: active; +: merged; *: imported; -: inactive/unmerged.
• Suggestions:
• This will be followed by specific suggestions for the mod group. Typically these will involved activating or deactivating existing mods (and possibly replacing them with different mods).
• Warning:
• This has same format as suggestions. Problem mods will be listed along with instructions to activate them or deactivate them as need be.
• Mod List: Toggles mod list in the report.
• Notes: Toggles inclusion of mod group notes.
• Configuration: Toggles inclusion of mod group configuration info.
• Suggestions: Toggles inclusion of mod group suggestions.
• Copy Text: Copies text of report to clipboard. (Useful for forum postings.)
• Update: The report will usually auto-regenerate (if necessary) when you raise the Mod Checker window. But if it doesn't you can force it to regenerate with this button.
• Rulesets are plain text file stored in the Oblivion\Data\Bash Patches directory. Any file in this directory that ends in "Rules.txt" will be assumed to be a ruleset and included in the report.
• Rulesets can be edited while bash is running. Edit ruleset as desired and regenerate (update) the report. Bash will recognize the changed ruleset and reload it before it re-generates the report.
• For more info on ruleset syntax, see UESP: Wrye Bash Mod Checker.
• Checkbox Colors
• Checkbox colors indicate the "health" of the mod file's master files.
• Purple: Good. Exactly synced with currently selected mods.
• Blue: Good. Compatible with currently selected mods. However, current mod set includes some mods that are not used by this save game.
• Green: Good, but not in sync with currently selected mods. Use Load Masters to sync load list to this save.
• Orange: Some mods have changed order. Oblivion and TESCS will adjust for this when you load. However, if some of the mods that you depend made conflicting changes to the same item, a different mod may now dominate because of the reordering.
• Red: A master is missing. You should check to make sure that you have not inadvertently renamed or removed the mod.
• When you autosave or quicksave, Oblivion backs up the previous version of the savefile (e.g. "autosave.ess" becomes "autosave.bak"). Bash includes these backup files in the Saves file listing. You can easily revert to any of these backup by renaming or duplicating the file to a new filename with extension "ess".
• You can also increase the number of backups kept by incrementing the iSaveGameBackupCount setting in the Oblivion.ini file.
• Make changes to the file in the details view.
• File Name: Change the file name.
• Notes:
• Enter some info about the save.
• This fields is useful for keeping track of what "Landmark" saves are about/for. E.g. a save just before or after making a major change in your load list or before/after completing some quest.
• Masters List:
• The masters list show the esm files that the current mod depends on, and the load order (modIndex) of that master.
• Renaming Masters: If a master has been renamed, you can adjust for that here by renaming the master. Either left-click the name and edit it in the column display, or right-click the name, select Change To... and then select the desired replacement esp/esm from the mods directory.
• Note that you should only do this if the new name is a new version of the same mod. Replacing a mod with an unrelated mod will cause file corruption.
• Disabling Masters: If you want to remove a mod from active use, you can usually just start playing without the mod loaded. However, this won't work if the mod is an esm. You can get around this by right clicking on the name and selecting Disable. This will rename the master to a non-existent esp. Note that you still may run into logical errors which prevent the esm from being removed. But at least this way the game will try to run without the master.
• O/P Flags
• These two flags may appear to the right of the player info. If present, they indicate that the corresponding CoSave file exists (O: .obse; P: .pluggy). CoSave files are extra files created by OBSE and Pluggy for storing addition information related to the savegame.
Save Profiles are "play enviroments", where the environment consists of a set of savegames plus the active set of mods. Typically, save profiles are used to allow easy and safe switching between different characters. Or they might be used for switching between different stages of a characters life. (E.g. you might use different profiles for before and after a major overhaul is a installed.)
Notes:
• Save Profiles make use of the SLocalSavePath setting in Oblivion.ini, which allows you to specify which directory savegames are found in. This means that once you've set the profile, you don't have to do anything special with Bash. I.e. the regular Oblivion launcher will recognize the selected profile.
• You can also associate different versions of Oblivion.esm with different save profiles, which means that when you switch profiles, you can automatically turn Shivering Isles content on or off. See Oblivion.esm Swapping for more info.
• To create/modify save profiles:
• Go to saves tab and right click on the "File" column header. This will give you a context menu.
• Select Profile: Edit Profiles to get the edit dialog.
• Use the add/rename/remove commands as desired.
• You can enter information about the profile in the text field.
• To select a savegame profile:
• Go to the context menu again and select Profile:[Name of profile].
• To view the save profile directory:
• Go to context menu and select "Open...".
After creating a savegame, you may want to move some of your existing files to it. To do this, just select the files, right click and select Move To:[destination profile]. Note that this function will also move any cofiles (.pluggy) files associated with the savegame files.
These are the commands found on context menu for saves...
• Same as for Mods Tab: File Commands above.
• Synchronizes activated mods to savegame's masters.
• Lists savegame masters in window and copies the list to the clipboard.
This is useful for forum postings where you want help debugging your load list, or just want to show off how many mods you have loaded!
• Notes
• List is in load order. (Unlike plugins.txt which is in alphabetical order.)
• Version number of the mod is listed if it is present in the mod's description field and in the right format (e.g. Version: 01.21).
• If two savegames are selected, then will compare masters of the new save to those of the older save.
• If one savegame is selected, then will compare currently active mods to masters of savegame.
• Report includes:
• Removed Masters: Masters in older save that are not present in newer save (or currently active mod list).
• Added Masters: Masters in newer save (or active mod list) that are not present in older save.
• Reports various statistics for save file. Probably too technical for most people. Feel free to skip this section...
• Array Sizes
• These are the sizes of the major arrays in the savegame.
• Created Items are items created while playing – e.g., spells, enchanted armor, clothing, weapons.
• Records are records of changes to previously defined objects. E.g., removing the essential flag from an NPC.
• FormIds is a table which maps an internal reference number to a formid number. Kind of technical, but what it comes down to is, if the savegame ever had to refer to a specific formid, then that formid shows up in this table. If the formid comes from a mod that is later removed from the game, then its entry in this table is replaced with a 0. (I refer to such an entry as a "lost ref" because it's lost it's connection to the source mod.)
• Created Items
• This shows the counts for the various types of items created in-game.
• If there are lot of any one type (e.g., over 1000), then you likely have a older, buggy companion share mod which should be upgraded.
• FormIds
• This is a breakdown of the FormId table by source mod.
• Record Details
• Change record details are broken down by type and by mod. The type is number, which is followed by a description if known (e.g., "6 Faction").
• New ObjectRef Bases
• New ObjectRefs are record type 49 change records that belong to the savegame itself. E.g., if you drop an arrow on the ground, there will be a new objectRef for that arrow that will belong to the savegame. Oblivion seems to delete these fairly well, but certain scripting techniques will cause them to stick around, and particularly bad techniques or bugs will cause a lot of them to stick around which can bloat the game and cause save/load problems.
• The "Base" of an objectRef is the baseid of the object (e.g., the formid of a steel arrow from Oblivion.esm). The objectRef refers to these indirectly through an "iref". Usually this will map back to a formid, but if the original mod has been removed from the load order, then the formid is set to zero. If this has happened, then a count of such "Null Bases" will be shown.
• After the "Null Base" count (if present) is a list of New ObjectRef Bases where the count is over 100 (e.g., if there are over 100 new arrows lying around). Show is the count, the iref and the base formid.
• Formid == 0 is a "Null Base". An
• Formid beginning with FF is reference to an object defined by the savegame.
• Otherwise, the formid will map back to a mod. The first two digits are the modindex, and can be matched to a mod through the "MI" column in the list of savegame masters.
• This allows you to remove unused spells from your spell list.
• Warning: Spells once removed cannot be re-added. While most spells can be repurchased, and custom spells can be recreated, quest and other spells may require use of the console to re-add.
• See Face Import below.
• Deprecated. Use Update NPC Levels instead.
• This allows you to rename any enchanted items that you have created in-game.
• This allows you to rename any potions that you have created in-game.
• This allows you to rename any spells that you have created in-game.
• Potions created in-game are given a weight that is somewhat arbitrarily selected and potentially high (over 1 lb per potion). (See: UESP: Oblivion Alchemy.)
• You can use this command to set the weight for all of your created potions to specified value.
• Notes:
• Effects all current potions – and thus all future potions with the same name and effects.
• Potions created after use of this command with a new name and/or different effects, and/or different durations of the same effects will not be affected. To change them, you'll need to rerun this command.
• Suggested value: 0.1 to 0.3
• Background
• NPC levels determine how NPCs rank relative to the player, and are frequently tweaked by rebalancing mods (e.g. Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul). However, because of the way the game engine stores level information for NPCs, such tweaks will not affect games that were started before the tweak mod was added to the load list. This command compensates for this by importing the tweaked NPC levels into the savegame.
• Usage
• Make sure that mods that you want to play with are active, then select one or more save files and run the command. NPC level info will be read from all active mods and applied to all selected save files.
• Notes
• This replaces the previous Import NPC Levels command. It's simpler to use, and can be applied to multiple save files at once.
• Background: The Oblivion game engine keeps savegame file size down by garbage collecting various types of objects. Arrows shot into the game world will be removed after several minutes of gameplay, while most other types of objects dropped in cells will be removed if the cell is not visited for a period of three days. However, certain scripting approaches in mods can result in large number of objects being created in such a way that they are not garbage collected.
• Excess Created Objects: A few older mods use scripting approaches that resulted in the duplication of existing objects as new "created in game" objects. (The major problem has been due to early companion sharing mods.) Prolonged use of such mods can result in 10's of thousands of newly created objects.
• Null Refs: Null refs are one source of savegame bloating that is relatively easy to identify. Null refs are items dropped or placed in the game world that are instances of objects from a mod that has since been removed. (E.g. "Mega Awesome.esp" might add "Mega Awesome Swords" to bandits. If one of those is lying on the ground in some dungeon and then "Mega Awesome.esp" is removed, then the sword lying on the ground becomes a null ref.)
• Usage:
• Run the Remove Bloat command. This will either report that there's no bloating or will report suspected bloating numbers, and prompt you to continue to remove the bloating.
• If you have bloating, then:
• If the numbers are small (roughly under 200), then probably the best thing to do is to decline to remove bloating. Removing it won't make that much difference.
• Figure out why you have bloating. Null Refs are fairly common if you've removed mods. However, large numbers of created objects indicates a problem with one of your installed mods (probably a companion and/or companions sharing mod). Such mods should be updated or removed.
• Before removing, you should make sure that you have duplicate of the savegame. Savegame corruption might show up later. If the command has minimal result on savegame file size, then discard the modified file.
• Again, keep in mind that this is an experimental command. While good results have been reported so far, it's possible that problems may appear later.
• Fixes "Abomb" animation slowing by resetting the TesClass Abomb counter to 0x41000000 (or float 8.0).
• "Abomb Animation Slowing" is a slowing a of animations that typically appears around 225 hours into the game (though it may occur earlier or later). Effects are that many animations (spell effects, burning fires, opening/closing doors) have noticeably stop action effects, even while the rest of the scene is rendered normally. In fact the problem is worse in areas with high frame rates (e.g., simple interiors). This is presumably a bug with the game engine, probably something with thread prioritization for animations.
• The trigger for animation slowing seems to be the last four bytes of the TesClass data chunk in the save file. These bytes apparently represent a float value, which increments steadily with game play (on my machine advancing at about 2/3 of game seconds played). When the counter crosses a certain threshold (0x49000000), the animation slowing kicks in suddenly. The fix seems to be to simply reset this counter to an early value (0.0 would probably work. I use 8.0 or 0x41000000).
• There have been some reports of related problems with animations (dying wraiths not dropping properly) and physics collisions. Also, some have reported problems showing up before 0x49000000. However, there is clearly a substantial change as the counter crosses 0x490000, and the reported physics problems have been seen earlier in the game and so may be unrelated.
• For more discussion see: ESForums: Slow/Frozen Doors.
• (Mostly) fixes empty faction bug introduced in Wrye Bash v 105 (with most people experiencing them starting at version 111 which introduced new Update Levels function.
• Also (optionally) updates NPC factions to reflect faction changes in mods.
• Background
• The v105 bug caused some NPCs in the savegame to be marked as having no factions and no spells. The most notable effect of this was faction infighting, however, another major effect (for people importing faces at the start of the game) was the removal of the player from the playerfaction (very bad!). A few other rare effects might happen – e.g. the inhabitants of Alsewell might become invisible sooner than they should.
• Unfortunately, it's not possible to remove the effects of the bug with total safety – sometimes, NPCs should need to have zeroed spells and/or factions. (E.g., Aleswell again. If citizens have empty spell arrays removed after the quest has been completed, they'll disappear when they shouldn't.)
• Aside from my bug, there are related problems with mods that are changed so as to add factions to NPCs after that NPC is already in play and has had its factions modified in-game. E.g. CM Partners that have been upgraded from v 1.4 to v 1.5.
• Advice
• Do not use this function unless you have to! In general, if you have a recent save that you can revert to, I'd advise you to use that instead!
• Check the log when you're done. If the results make your nervous, then do a File: Revert to Backup to return to pre-repair state.
• The Repair Fbomb command has been removed since the problem has been fixed by Bethesda's 1.2.0416 patch. For more info, see UESP: Reference Bug.
• Oblivion has a bug that will cause a crash if your PC's hair comes from a mod that has been removed and you then run showRaceMenu. One way to avoid this problem is to use Bash to import a face (thus also importing hair). Another solution is to use this command.
• Repair Hair will check to see if your PC's hair has become lost, and if so, replace it with the default hair for that race/gender.
• Procedure
• Right click on savegame and select Import Face. This will result in a file dialog where you can select either another save, or a mod file. When you select a file, you'll get a dialog listing all characters whose face you can import.
• For mod files, all NPCs in the mod will be listed.
• For save files, the player character will always be at the top of the list. In addition some clones of the player (e.g. for statue in Bruma) and other npcs may also be listed. Usually, you'll want the player character.
• Click on a face in the list to display its details (Name, Race, Gender, Stats). If the face has an image associated with it, the image will be displayed.
• Use checkboxes to import additional characteristics.
• Click the import button.
• Stats Import
• When importing a face from a mod, you can choose to import the stats. Use this with care and be aware of the limitations!
• The stats seen in-game are combination of base npc stats for the pc plus magical modifiers plus scripted modifications. This command only affects the base npc stats, hence what you may see in game may be notably different. In particular:
• Health = npcBaseHealth + gmstFactor*currentEndurance
• Magicka = npcBaseMagicka + (1+gmstFactor)*currentIntelligence
• Fatigue = npcBaseFatigue + gmstFactor*currentEndurance
• It's possible that the change in base stats, combined with the scripted changes to stats will render your PCs stats in some areas negative or bizarrely high.
• Changing stats like this is likely to confuse releveling mods. You may want to disable such mods before importing stats. It may be necessary to remove them (which may require some in-game preparation), then load the leveling mod, then resave, then re-add the mod in order to make the leveling mod adjust to your modified stats.
• To tweak the stats of an existing character, try importing the character to a mod file, editing the character there and then importing the edited character to your game.
• Notes
• Race Import is incomplete. Importing race will change the physical appearance and identification of your character, but will not change racial powers. E.g., you'll look like a Wood Elf, but have the powers of an Imperial.
• If you want to associate an image with a face, then:
• Save the image to Data\Docs\Images\[EditorId].jpg
• Note that the file needs to be in jpeg format and be named so that it matches the editor id of the face.
• Bash displays the face in a 350 by 210 pixel box. Your face does not have to be that size, but ideally it would have the same 5:3 width:height ratio. Bash will scale the face down as needed to fit in the box.
• To import a face into a mod, select the mod, right click and select "Import Face".
• Best Practice
• Start by creating an empty "PC Faces.esp" mod. You can easily do this by using the construction set, or you can copy "Blank.esp" from Mopy\Extras.
• Use this single mod as your face "library". Import any interesting faces from saves, then use TESCS to further edit "PC Faces.esp".
• Notes/Warnings
• It's strongly suggested that you import only to a mod that contains nothing but npcs.
• Face Import does not check for unique editor ids. If this is a danger, edit the file in TESCS. TESCS will auto-rename any duplicated editor ids, but you'll probably want to rename manually (since DUPLICATE0000 is not so informative!)
• Importing Non-standard Eyes/Hair
• Ordinarily, bash will only import eyes and hair that come from Oblivion.esm or the mod itself. However, it is possible to access eyes and hair from other mods with a little work.
• First, convert the source cosmetic esp to an esm. (On the mods tab of Bash, use the "Copy to Esm" function.)
• Now, open your face library esp in the construction set, but be sure to also load the new cosmetic esm. Then save (this will add the cosmetic esm to the master list of the face library esp).
• Next, go to the save, right-click on the cosmetic esp in the list of masters on the right side of the window, select "Change to...", and then select the esm version. (Here, you're switching the dependency from the esp to the esm version.) Then save.
• Now go back to the mods tab and import the face. The eyes/hair should now be imported.
• In short, Bash will only import eyes/hair if the eyes/hair come from an esm if the esp already has access (i.e., is dependent on) that esm.
This allows you to preview your screenshots.
Right click on the column header to see these:
• Explorer: View the screenshot directory in Windows Explorer.
• Next Shot: Set the name/number of the next screenshot.
Right click on a screenshot to see these:
• Delete: Deletes selected files.
• Convert to jpg: Converts selected files to jpg format.
• If file by name new name already exists, then conversion will be skipped (for that file).
• Rename: Renames selected files according to format.
• If multiple files are selected, they'll be numbered sequentially after the first.
• If file by new name already exists, then rename for that file will be skipped.
Archive, view, search PM's from the official forum. Note: This is fairly new and a bit experimental at this time (11/6/2007). It should be fairly safe, but I suggest that you keep a backup of any messages that you enter into this.
• What's Importable
• Only html format archives are archivable. Excel format archives are ''not'' archivable.
• PMs from other forums that use the same software as the bethsoft forums may also be importable – but this has not been tested yet.
• Setup
• Typically you'll have your archives as attachments to mail messages. You'll need to save these to disk. When you save, it's best to name the file like "07.11.06 archive.html" or "2007.11.06 archive.html" (where the leading digits are year, month, date) – using the date the archive was created!
• It's important to get the archive date correct, since Bash will use it to figure out the date of PMs dated as "Today" or "Yesterday".
• Note: The rest of the name doesn't matter – it's just the date that counts.
• It's usually simplest to save a bunch (all) of your archives to disk at once in a special folder.
• Importing
• Once you've got the archives saved as files...
• Go to "PM Archives" tab, right click on column header at the top of the window and select "Import Archives..." Use the dialog to select the archives that you want to import.
• It's easy to search. Just enter the search term at the bottom and hit return (or press the Search button). Messages will be searched for the term in the subject, author and text fields, and the list will be filtered down to matching messages.
• To get back to the full list, either:
• Clear the search field and hit enter. Or
• Click the Clear button.
• You can delete any message or group of message by right clicking on them and selecting "Delete"
• You can sort by any of the columns. When sorting by subject, leading "Re: " will be ignored – thus messages should group together correctly. Also when searching by Subject or Author columns, messages will first be sorted by date.
• If you select multiple messages at once, all of them will be shown in the view pane, in the same order as they are shown in the list.
• When you select messages, they're actually temporarily written to an html file. You can view this directly, mail it to people, etc. You'll find the temporary file at "My Games\Oblivion\Messages.html"
The People tab is a simple database that you can use to keep reminders about various people on the forums. You may find it useful if you're on the forums and want to keep some reminders about various people. (E.g. why you blocked someone, or what awesome mod a person did.)
• As with other tabs, right click on individual items to see the item menu, or on the column header to see the header menu. Left clicking on a column will sort the list based on that column.
• Aside from the Name, column, the two other columns are:
• Karma (from -5 to +5) to rate your disposition towards the person.
• Header: the first 75 characters of the text.
• Text: Description of the person. You'll probably want to start with a brief summary (maybe using keywords), since that's what will show up in the header column.
• Icon: The icon for each person reflects their karma:
• +5: Purple
• +3,+4: Blue
• +1,+2: Green
• +0: Grey (Default)
• -1,-2: Yellow
• -3,-4: Orange
• -5: Red
• You can add and delete records by clicking using the Add/Delete commands.
• Add is available from both the item menu and the header menu.
• Delete is available for selected records.
• Use the Import command on the header menu to import records from a text file.
• Import format is simple. To begin a new person record, start a line with == PersonName. That will define a new record. All text under that, up to the next PersonName header will become the text for that character.
• Use this command to export selected people to a text file.
• Note: Karma is not exported.
• Use this command to assign Karma to a person.
Note that this features does not yet work with non-English versions of Oblivion! Nor does it work for pre-1.1 copies of Oblivion. It also requires some preparation before installing Shivering Isles!
The release of the Shivering Isles (SI) expansion has complicated life for modders. The problem is that the expansion is placed not in a new esm or esp, but rather directly into the existing Oblivion.esm. (There is a DLCShiveringIsles.esp that comes with the expansion, but it is empty and apparently is only use to trigger SI bsa archive loading).
The problem with this approach is that:
• It forces players to use the new material, which may be a problem on lower performance machines.
• It forces modders to build on top of Shivering Isles data, which in turn requires version 1.2 of the TESCS, which results in mods that will only run on 1.2 patched systems, and which in turn are unmodifiable by players who haven't upgraded to 1.2.
Perhaps these problems are not that horrendous, but it would be nice to be able to quickly switch between the different versions of the Oblivion.esm. Bash allows you to do this.
• The major point is that for swapping to work, you must have copies of both the 1.1 and the SI versions of Oblivion.esm available. This is only possible if you copy Oblivion.esm before installing Shivering Isles.
• If you have not done that, then you'll need to:
• Reinstall Oblivion
• Update it using the Oblivion 1.1 patch
• Copy Oblivion.esm to Oblivion_1.1.esm
• Reinstall Shivering Isles.
• If you have not yet installed Shivering Isles, then great! All you have to do is the last two steps above.
Bash now indicates the current version of Oblivion.esm in several places...
• Mods tab: You'll see either a [1.1] or an [SI] after Oblivion.esm listing.
• Masters tab: For both mods and savegames, you'll again see [1.1] or [SI] appended to Oblivion.esm. Note that this does not indicate the version used when the mod was built or the savegame was saved. Rather it just indicates the version of the currently loaded Oblivion.esm.
• The title of the main Bash window. You'll see either [1.1] or [SI] at the end of the title.
• Two swap versions on the mod tab, right click anywhere on the column header and got to the Oblivion.esm menu item. The currently available and selected versions will popup in a submenu where you can select them.
• Selecting a different version will swap names around – you should see the change reflected immediately in the Version Indicators.
• The same command is available from the column header context menu of the Saves Tab, and does exactly the same thing, but with one exception...
• When you make the selection from the saves tab, it will not only swap Oblivion.esm, but it will also mark the selected version as the preferred version to use with the current save profile. If you later switch from another profile back to this one, the Oblivion.esm version will be swapped automatically.
• Tip: If you're already using save profiles, then visit all of your existing save profiles and use the Oblivion.esm command to set the default for each of them.
Bash now supports localization for most? western languages (translation of program strings to local language). It still probably does not support non-roman character sets (Cyrillic, Arabic, Asian languages, etc.). Since you're looking here, I'm assuming that you're trying to add translations for your language. Here's how:
• Custom Program Strings
• Custom program strings are translated from lookup files that you'll find in the Mopy\local. E.g., for English, it would be Mopy\locale\English.pkl. (Of course, the program is already in English, so this isn't needed.)
• These pkl files are automatically compiled from the corresponding txt files (e.g., Mopy\locale\English.txt) as needed when Bash (or bish) starts up. So, to update the program strings for your language all you have to do is edit the txt file in a text editor, adding translations for strings. Naturally, not everyone needs to do this – once someone does the txt files for a language, they can redistribute them to other people – including me, so that I can include them in next Bash release.
• Generating the Translation
To begin translating, or update an existing translation file...
• Go to Mods tab, right click on File column header and select Dump Translator from the pop up menu.
• This will generate a new version of the translator file for your locale. It will be named appropriately (except for the leading "NEW") and will contain any translations that have already been done.
• Delete the old translator text file, and rename the new one to replace it.
• Edit the new translator file, adding translations to replace any that are missing or incorrect.
• Translation Tips
• Here's part of the a translator file .
=== basher.py, 3711
Active profile cannot be removed.
>>>>
=== basher.py, 3717
Delete profile %s and the %d save files it contains?
>>>>
DELETE PROFILE %s AND THE %d SAVE FILES IT CONTAINS?
• Each entry begins with the source file and the line number (in case this helps you figure out how to translate the code).
• After that is the original text, then a >>>> dividing line, then the translated text. Here, the second entry has been translated, while the first has not. (Here the "translation" consists of changing it to upper case.
• It's important that you leave the formatting characters in place and in order! Formatting characters are text like %s %d %08X \n. The '%' strings are place holders where file names, counts, etc. are entered – if they're not present, Bash will throw an exception. The \n combinations are newline characters – I use them in dialogs and other places where I want line breaks.
• In translating, I would suggest that you translate the strings that you see the most first. E.g., a good one for a quick test is basher.py, 1916: Mods – this is the name of the Mods tab. And right under it is the name of the Saves tab.
• To test your translations, just save your changes to the text file, and restart Bash. Your changes should appear immediately.
• Of course, it's probably a good idea to keep backup copies of your translator file in case you mess one up. If you revert to a backup copy, just throw the pkl version away to it to update. (Remember it won't autocompile unless the text file is newer than the pkl file.)
• Spell checking: If you're using an office suite, you might want turn on dictionaries for both English and your language – Abot mentions that Open Office allows you to do this.
All versions by Wrye unless otherwise noted.
• Revert autorecognize Data\ini. Already standardized as Data\Scripts.
• Minor change to errlog deletion to support Python 2.6 (hopefully).
• Bain: just a couple changes (skip images/docs and autorecognizing ini folder)
• Bain: Now supports umlauts, etc. in filenames. (At least on Wrye's machine – solution is a bit of a hack.)
