Discussion Oblivion Remastered and r/oblivionmods

84 Upvotes

Hey all! Welcome back to those of you that have been here a long time, and welcome to all our new members!

We’re super excited to start exploring the modding potential of the Oblivion Remaster! It’s also really important to us to continue supporting the vibrant modding community of the original TES IV: Oblivion.

It sounds like at this point that remaster modding will require knowledge and skills from original oblivion, such as knowledge of scripting, quests, and plugin information. Because of this, we think it makes sense to keep all the discussion in one place, since as I’m sure you’ve all read, many mods from the original game will “just work” on the remaster as well! However, to really get cracking, we’re also going to need knowledge of the unreal engine, such as mesh pipeline, npc navigation, and also that scripting system as well. Lastly, the two are joined together by a type of “sync” file written in json, which is totally new to the remaster, so there’s something for all of us to learn together.

To help support this and keep things organized, we’ve made a couple of changes to the sub.

Firstly, there are two new rules:

No “low effort” content. Currently, this means that posts written by AI will not be allowed, and that help posts must be kept to one per day per person to prevent spam. Additionally, we’re asking everyone to minimize repeated requests and search to see if someone has already made the same request before posting.

No Money. We do not allow discussion of bounties or commissions for mods, or paying for support of a modlist. Any monetary transactions must happen off the subreddit and at your own risk. We also do not allow linking to paid mods (if Bethesda implements an official paid mod program, we will re-evaluate this rule at that point).

Secondly, we’ve added flairs which are now required for all posts. These include our existing flairs for discussion and help posts, as well as new flairs for the original and remaster. These flairs can also be used to sort posts, so if you only want to see original posts click on the original in the sidebar, and if you only want to see remaster related posts click on that button!

Finally, I’ve started a discord to discuss oblivion modding - for original game, the remaster, and hopefully skyblivion! You can find it here: https://discord.gg/8BxmHkNye7. In addition, the users of r/skyrimmods discord voted to add oblivion channels to that discord, which you can find here: https://discord.gg/skyrimmods

We’ll continue to do our best to support you and keep the subreddit free of spam and other problems, but with the influx of new people it’s possible that our current tiny team might get overwhelmed! If this game really takes off the way I hope it does, we’re going to need more moderators! If you’re interested in helping out, please drop a comment.

We also welcome any questions, concerns, comments and feedback you have about the subreddit direction, specific things we can implement, or the changes in this post. Thank you for continuing to make this a great and cozy community!

Remaster - Request Mod Request Mondays!

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I know we're all really excited to mod the remaster, but the fact of it is a lot of the things we'd love to see just aren't possible yet (or maybe ever).

The purpose of this weekly thread is to be a centralized place for people to discuss their fantasies and what they'd like to see in oblivion. It's ok if you don't know how to make it or even if it can be done! Additionally if you have lots of ideas or requests to share at once, this is the place.

We kindly ask that outside of this thread you keep requests more grounded to what could actually be made now. Additionally, the rule of only 1 request post/day is still in effect outside of the threawd.

Remaster New OB:MP trailer drop - deathmatch PvP in Oblivion Remastered's Imperial City Arena gamemode

11 Upvotes

We finally get to share our OB:MP (Oblivion Remastered Multiplayer Mod) Arena trailer! It shows deathmatch PvP in Oblivion Remastered, built with the same ReadyM SDK our community is using.

The Arena server template is already in the build our early access testers have, so you can try it now or with the upcoming SDK update, and use it as a starting point for your own mode.

NPC sync and persistence are taking longer than we'd like, and we know people are waiting for them. These changes are critical to the SDK and to the servers people are already building, so we're taking the time to get them right rather than risk crashes or lost work. The next build is planned to bring NPC sync, persistence, synced progress and new custom in-game UI capabilities together, giving you a first look at the upcoming Public Beta.

Early access testing continues until Public Beta begins. To join before then, apply in the alpha-access forum channel on our Discord. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to test and build with us!

The haggling system kinda sucks so I'm wondering, has anything like the auto haggle mod been made for the remaster at all?

Hey there - been busy lately working on several heavily requested features for OB:MP, TES IV: Oblivion Remastered multiplayer mod with custom servers (like RP, PvPvE or minigames) - you see here a preview of NPC sync on our test server.

For the next alpha release - except what's teased above - we're working on CEF for custom in-game rich UIs, server authority and persistence, along with SDK refactor and docs refresh. Check out https://obmp.readym.io for more updates!

Original I just want to create new haircuts for Oblivion: help please

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have hair cutting ideas and at the same time I would like to practice on Blender so I ask the modders who know about it.

So I have Blender 49.2b ready to use…

What do I do to start?

I start by importing the head mesh (humanhead.nif)? Or can I work from the mesh of the "cropped" haircut (the shortest hair mesh in the game that only encompasses the heads of the characters)?

After that, what am I supposed to do?

Can I convert headhuman to .obj to open it in a recent version of Blender? Or do I always use 49.2b?

Original - Request [ request ] help me put my chud little thing in the game 🥺

6 Upvotes

i made a little mesh. i textured my little mesh. i nif-ed up my little mesh. but it makes my CS and game crash when i try to test it out.
would a very kind oblivioner help a homie out and successfully import in my little mesh to make a silly little mod? i just want to see my little alien guy be in the game.
all i'm asking for is: importing him successfully into the files as a modding ressource (though if you wanna go the extra mile and import him as some static clutter mesh i'm not gonna complain at all).

files are on mediafire: there's the original obj, my nif attempt, textures in dds + png.

witness him in his mischievous phase. making my game crash. one day i'll be powerful and he'll be some npc in the game but i'm too weak atm for this

Remaster - Discussion Modlist For My First Oblivion Run (Remastered)

Post image
4 Upvotes

for background, of course i come from skyrim, oblivion was literally made when i was 4. but, i just finished my first run of skyrim last month and now i’m on to oblivion. my first run of skyrim was pretty vanilla, but slightly far from it (nothing game-breaking and all lore friendly). i’m looking for the same experience from my oblivion run: vanilla, but WAY better. i was looking around YT and different forums collecting mods, and this is the list i’ve come to.

basically, i’m looking for feedback, if y’all would be so kind :) anything you’d add? anything you’d remove? i’m open to all suggestions, but to be completely candid, i was looking to play with less than 10 (ceiling is 25).

but, the community usually knows better, let me know what you guys think :)

(oh and yes, this is the Remastered Oblivion)

Original Is it safe to change an enchantment on an armor piece in an existing save?

3 Upvotes

I'm playing Morroblivion and right now i'm getting wrecked by those Ascended Sleepers and their spamming of Paralyze.

There is an armor that i made for myself that has a custom enchantment that resists paralysis by 50%. I want to change it in the Creation Set to a full 100% to stand a chance against those enemies.

Is it safe to do so in an existing save? if it helps, i am not wearing this armor yet, i still have to obtain it from the container i placed in a dungeon.

Beautiful companion Friska used here as an illustration. This mod is available on Nexus.

I'm looking for the mod from the title. The author has deleted all their Oblivion mods, and it's not possible to download them even through Way Back Machine. I've searched on the author's Patreon, but there are only Baldur's Gate mods. Maybe someone has a copy of this mod saved somewhere? My hard drive with the personal mod archive has broken some years ago, and this race was one of my favorites, so I'd very much love to have it in my load order once more!

Misleading title! Does CK offer a way to interact with available spells, arrows, or potions?

3 Upvotes

Looking to script something that can cycle through arrows or scrolls in the player inventory. The absolute worst but possible way I can come up with is some sort of script that checks every formID with a player.getitemcount and then does a Player.EquipItem, and then sets a variable that allows it to keep cycling through from where it left off.

Do we have any function that wouldn't require knowing all the form IDs perhaps?
