[RELz] Skyblivion Reborn Installation Instructions

Skyblivion v0.1 Released!

Reconversion project of Oblivion to Skyrim.

Installation instructions and links are not available, please wait for version 0.2

Type in game's console "cow tes4tamriel 5 10" to travel to Waterfront in Imperial City. "tmm 1" will show all map markers.

If you want to know more about conversion, read this thread.

If you wish to work with Skyblivion in Creation kit, you'll need a stripped Skyrim.esm master (because Skyblivion is bigger than Skyrim and CK can't load them both in memory at the same time). Use tesvsnip utility and remove CELL and WRLD groups from Skyrim.esm. Don't forget to restore the original one back when playing, or game will crash.

Welcome to Oblivion!

Beyond Skyrim huge map was

Beyond Skyrim huge map was split into smaller parts, so 64 cells limit is not an issue.

Skyblivion installation won't contain a single asset from Oblivion, everything will be ported from Oblivion by installer using binary diff patches, even master file. So Skyblivion will be perfectly legal and can even be hosted on nexus.

Thanks so much for this. I

Thanks so much for this. I somehow managed to fix every problem I was having, aside from the frequent crashes (which I assume is normal given the current state of the mod).

Honestly, these instructions

Honestly, these instructions for installing are horrible.

You have to be a lot more clear because when we're talking about computers everything has to be very, very specific...so when...say in your optional steps you imply something but don't say it or when your examples include pathing which requires me to not follow your instructions and merge files so files don't override themselves then there's issues. I'm going to do it the way I think the instructions meant, the way that makes sense but is missing several steps. Hopefully that's right.

It is not a finished mod, not

It is not a finished mod, not a beta version, and probably doesn't even qualify for an alpha. Skyblivion 0.1 is a proof of concept and aimed mostly at mod makers and experienced users who don't have a problem installing complex mods.

You'd better wait for 0.2 version coming soon that will have automated installer.

For what it's worth, I want

For what it's worth, I want to give my support to this project. I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm particularly looking forward to this project's outcome. I started playing the Elder Scrolls series with Oblivion, so my nostalgia is obviously for this game and I would love to see it finished with the Creative engine and experience it again in its full glory. Also, I really don't mind this to be a port instead of a mod, as you put it. If it saves you time and effort and results in a earlier release then I'm all for it as I'm not sure if I would still be playing this one or two years from now. Anyway, I definitely endorse this and I hope you guys will be able to finish it. Keep up the good work.

It's the Creation Engine, not

It's the Creation Engine, not the Creative Engine :P And yeah, to be honest I am more into Skyblivion than I am Skywind.

You're right.

The Skyblivion Reborn

The Skyblivion Reborn download link doesn't seem to work. This disappoints me greatly.

It works fine, this is just

It works fine, this is just you... wait a few hours.

Yep, sure enough. Thanks.

Yep, sure enough. Thanks. Well, at least posting in here makes it seem sort of alive.

e: Shame about all the broken NIFs. I'd love to get in on this if I knew how to fix them. What's required for doing so? Is there a list of messed-up ones?

Meshes already are mostly

Meshes already are mostly fine, along with a lot of other improvements. Just not released yet.

Curse yooooou! I mean,

Curse yooooou!

I mean, hallowed be thy name. I'm having a lot of fun with this. Please finish it.

To get to Camoran's Paradise

To get to Camoran's Paradise the console command is cow camoranparadise x x, I tried like 5 different ones and that one worked.

was looking for this! thnx

Still very much looking

Still very much looking forward to this.

I feel incredibly silly but

I feel incredibly silly but I'm a total noob at all of this.
I tried to follow the instructions but when I got to the Wrye bash part I installed manually as I don't have it/don't want to use it.

When I type the cell code I am successfully transported to Oblivion and it says I'm on the Waterfront but all I see is water, landscape and guards, no buildings whatsoever. I jumped to Bruma on the map and found the exact same thing.

Any advice on where I went wrong?

Thanks!

Did you install the meshes?

Did you install the meshes? :)

DId you make sure all meshes

DId you make sure all meshes are in the tes4 folder?

Ahh... I think I've been

Ahh... I think I've been super nooby... I opened my meshes folder and the tes4 one and I have the mesh folders in there. I think I was supposed to take the mesh folders out of those ones...
I know what I mean! I'll see if I can fix it!

Seems almost obvious now you and the above have pointed out it's a mesh problem... I'll report back!

ETA.

That didn't fix it :( I really don't know where I've gone wrong. I followed the instructions and I can get to Tamriel, it's just not there! A mesh problem is certainly the logical thing but I don't really know where to go from here :/
Thanks for the help anyway!

right path for meshes in

right path for meshes in skyblivion is - skyrim/data/meshes/tes4/

and in this tes4 folder i have folders like architecture, clutter, dungeons, etc. with skyblivion meshes

I honestly don't know why I

I honestly don't know why I bother with life sometimes!
After going over all the files this morning I still couldn't get it working. Thought I'd check back here and saw your comment, Frozen, which made me have another look. I still had the meshes in the wrong place! Such an obvious mistake! I'm such a dingus!

Thanks to all for the help. Managed to run around for a minute before crashing so I'm going to check it out tomorrow with the settings a little lower.
Thanks again :) Looks great!

Settings won't help the game

Settings won't help the game not crash, it's all about broken meshes.

Oh... So I've installed it

Oh... So I've installed it but I'll never be able to look at it? =/

New release will be soon,

New release will be soon, hopefully within the next month.

That's good to know I've

That's good to know :)

I've watched your Skyblivion release vids on Youtube and you're the reason I came here to try it out so I'm definitely grateful for the help!

Thanks!

Can't wait for next release!

Can't wait for next release! These crashes are really getting on my nerves whenever I try to film... A lot of them are coming from nearby nirnroot it seems.

The new release is going to have an auto installer is it not?

No one knows except for Zilav

No one knows except for Zilav or Ormin...

I would really hope so,

I would really hope so, because apparently I must've done something wrong during my installation because I have a very short fading distance as been posted in another section.

Not sure if this is the place

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I will anyway.

I've managed to install the files where they belong, and everything works perfectly except two things: there's no LOD and the map stays as the default Skyrim map. Am I missing something or did I do something stupid?

You didn't do something

You didn't do something correctly, you should have the map. But there isn't LOD for many things, I don't think.

I figured it out. I was

I figured it out. I was meant to put the "Beauty" patch in, which I thought was only for the trees and grass. It works perfectly now.

Is it just me, or is there no download link here?

That's a good question. It was here a few days ago.

valtteri771
Is it possible to get install instructions to skyblivion at the moment?

If you already have the files downloaded I could help you, if not please be patient because version .2 is imminent. No sense installing .1 and having to do it all over again in a few more days.

I keep hearing that but it

I keep hearing that but it never comes out :(
