Black box (plugin with same name already installed) - When you install the OMOD, there is a good chance that OBMM will not install any plugins and delete (not to the recycle bin) the conflicting plugins in the data folder.at least try to avoid modifying plugins outside of OBMM. (What if an OMOD only contains data files?) If you delete all of the data files associated with an OMOD, it will not notice. This does not always indicate that OMOD's contents are installed.The OMOD contains at least one plugin that has the same name and does not match (or OBMM did not install the data file(s) and cannot tell whether or not it matches.).The OMOD contains at least one plugin that has the same name and does not match (or OBMM did not install the plugin(s) and cannot tell whether or not it matches.).It will give warnings during the installation process (if activating only a single OMOD.) If a mod installs files from non-standard folders with a script, OBMM cannot predict that a file will end up overlapping with some already-installed file.Green - unactivated and no (visible) conflicts.
2) See the BSAs and Archive Invalidation page in order to learn more about BSA Redirection. Using either is fine, but try to make sure you only have this method implemented once.
Note: 1) If you check BSA Redirection here and you also use BAIN, be sure to uncheck this option in BAIN. Note: This anticipates using BOSS and Wrye Bash to modify your load order. (Still in settings) check "Never modify load order" (unless you have no intention of installing Wrye Bash).Note: Moving the directory reduces the size of the Oblivion folder and makes the OMODs real (safe) backups. 2) BAIN users already have an "Oblivion Mods" directory. It can even be on a different HDD or partition. This folder should not be in the same place as your Oblivion install.
Note: 1) This is recommended so that you have backups of your mods in a safe location.
Note: Windows 7 and Windows Vista users not running on an admin account need to make sure that OBMM is set to run with administrator privileges, which can be set in the files' Compatibility tab.
Users and mod authors, can add a script to facilitate complex installations, a description shown when the mouse hovers over the OMOD in OBMM's window and ReadMes to the OMOD in order to give the user convenient access to the full document (via the OMOD context menu) before installing the actual mod. It installs mods from special compressed archives, OMODs, that allow it to quickly access various details about the contents, relevant to using mods. Not only can you install and organize mods, but also you can organize your load order and implement multiple types of archive invalidation, with ease.
