Winged Twilight Issue | Morroblivion

Here's an issue I'va already fixed in my copy of morroblivion. Others might benefit from what I learned, so here's what happened.

I did a fresh install of oblivion, then re-downloaded everything for morroblivion and re-installed it too. I had some startup issues, but got everything fixed and so far it's working ok.

Here's the problem:

The Winged Twilight exists in 2 folders -

..\Creatures\WingedTwilight

..\Morroblivion\Creatures\Daedra\WingedTwilight

The esm points to ..\Morroblivion\Creatures\Daedra\WingedTwilight

But that nif is corrupted and causes ctd when you enter a cell that has a leveled list with winged twilight in it.

The old nif (skeleton.nif and body.nif) work fine, so I used them. I noted that the corrupted nifs are skeleton.nif and mesh.nif. I wonder why they're named differently? (*grin*) Anyway, I deleted those and my ctd went away (no longer happens)

I'm sure I installed something wrong, so if you have no problems then don't change anything.

ed:
I found a similar issue with the Hunger. I copied an original conversion hunger from the morro\creatures folder. It works ok.

Tested several dungeons, wandered thru the ashlands, visited several caves. No crashes anywhere.

Here's a question for David:

I know you told me the Golden Saint comes from SI, but are there any other creatures that are from SI? I've found and fixed WingedTwilight, Hunger, and Golden Saint. Those three creatures appear to be what's been causing most of my issues.

Also, why does the The Winged Twilight exist in 2 folders? Maybe a folder left over from the original conversion?

The first one (data\meshes\creatures\) comes from the complete install which is no longer updated. The second one (data\morroblivion\creatures\) is a re-done version that is included in the support files (fixed some animation issues and added havok). In fact there are two files for for a lot of creatures now (all undead, daedra and sixth House creatures).

You can try reinstalling the files from the mod above incase your install was corrupted ... otherwise I am unsure ... the twilights worked fine for me :S

I got them working.I

I got them working.

I understand about the 'doubling up' of the creatures and daedra .. it does cause some confusion for me when I try to find out why something is pointing somewhere it should not be, tho. Makes the whole process take longer than it should. Based on what you say (actually, what you didn't say) I assume that the Golden Saint is the only daedra from SI. No?

So what I am hearing is that rather than update the original install files when a change is made we just create a new fileset and update that. Some of the files in the original install are still in use, others are overwritten by the newer 'support files' and the older files just sit there taking up space.

OK.
Thanks. knowing this will make it easer to find things without wondering (not wandering) where things are supposed to be.

Right now, I'm missing a nixhound.dds file. Can't find it anywhere. Thoughts?
