I just installed TEC today, and went inside the palace to check what changes are there (some quest notified me that I am Marquis - probabily because I already finished Vanilla MQ, I guess) only to find that I have five big 'missing mesh' icons floating around in the second floor of the palace.

Clicking on the icons while in the console has revealed that the missing mesh thingies are supposed to be "Palace Portals", and further checking with the area map tells me these are doorways to the new chambers added in the TEC mod. That means I can't access them! Can anyone help me with this problem?

I'm suspecting a MOD conflict, since my Oblivion is running with 40+ different mods and nearly all of them are quite massive in size. Primary suspects are:

Frostcrag Reborn
Bloodlines
Kvatch Rebuilt (NOT aftermath)

You have all the resources downloaded ? If I remember correctly it needs DCRP to run ?

If that´s not, then I´m afraid I don´t know

PS welcome to the forums

Provided your download is not corrupted (literally missing meshes, that is), try loading the TEC-esp as last in your modlist.
To confirm and add to Yugi's statement, I do hope you have the DC-Resourcepack (DCRP) AND Shivering Isles installed (they are both needed).
This will prevent a situation like this. I have no idea which mod is the culprit at the moment.

THX for the welcome

I do have Shivering Isles and DCRP installed, and they are of newest versions (apparently). I have no other DC mods installed, so I am inclined to believe this problem, whatever it is, has its sources in the Resources Pack itself.

I tried reshuffling the load order, but none of the combinations I tried work (that is, the mesh missing icons are still there).



PS. I tried deactivating, savecleaning, then reactivating the mod.
Now, even with the mod activated, I have the vanilla palace. No
mod changes visible whatsoever. Maybe I need to download the
whole thing again...

PSS. I am using the COBL-support version. I'm not sure what this
means, though - I do have COBL installed, by the way.

Oh, I heard that The cobl version was rater problematic, don´t know if that´s right, but I believe there was a discussion in summer here at the forums, I might be wrong though.

Try with a non Cobl-version, and see if that´s helping

Yugi

Uh-Oh. I installed the non-COBL version to see if it works, and...

I have the vanilla palace.

I install the COBL version again...

I still have the vanilla palace.

I delete it, go somewhere very far away (that is, New Sheoth), save, install the non-COBL version again, and run all the way to the imperial palace, and...

I still have the vanilla palace.



Perhaps a big problem occured with the DCRP?
Does this mean I have to do that 2 hour + download again...?

Cobl, yes, that can be a problem if not installed correctly. I have little experience with that, maybe one of the cobl-users can elaborate on that.
Odd thing is that it seems you are physically missing meshes.
I assume it's the 3 teleport-pads that lead you the guildhals/throneroom and the counselor chambers of the other provinces?

Just a wild guess: temporarely deactivate Frostcrag Reborn.

there have been large numbers of reprots on missing meshes from the TEC ARCHIVE

there are mseshes and textures that are packed with tec, and these apperntly are missing some files...

the files u are missing are either... portals... banners, or signs... not sure which of the three... the only nesicary one, is the portals... but the others do add to the astetics of the room...

euther has gone rouge, and unresponsive... havnt made contact with him in a very long time, and he is not responding to messages here....

wen/if he returns, i will again question him about this matter...

team lead -

I have seen and heard of missing/corrupt armor meshes, where the transparency was incorrect (i.e. you could see through them), but a.f.a.i.k. they were fixed.
I was not appraised of any missing meshes from buildings/interior structures. I can see no such missing structures in my T.E.C.-install (non-cobl).

Uh, I downloaded Euther's version from Nexus and am using that with no problems whatever. I suspect a possible problem with the installation of TEC or DCRP.

Meto? Perhaps you could download TEC again and reinstall it. (That won't be quite as long as DCRP.) Check the readme very closely before installation, too, and follow all the directions.

If that doesn't work, a full load order would be much appreciated here.
