TES4Oblivion-IND.FIX

This is FIX for IDN release of TES4: Oblivion. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! 1. download the original release from "http://thepiratebay.se/details.php?id=3460538" 2. download this file 3. once you have both of them put the PAR files from this torrent together with the 001-086 files from the original release 4. use quickpar from the APPS folder and install it 5. once quickpar is installed click on one of the .PAR2 files 6. quickpar will open, click ADD, and add all the 001-086 files to quickpar 7. WAIT might take some time, when it's done click REPAIR and wait some more 8. once extracted you will get a 4GB .zip file, RENAME that to tar.gz(If it's Oblivion-IND.zip, renami it to Oblivion-IND.tar.gz) 9. use BSDTAR from APPS folder(Go Start->Run->type cmd and press enter. Find BSDTAR folder, enter /bin, type "BSDTAR -help" 10. type "BSDTAR -xf ". OFC RENAME THE FOLDER NAME AND FILE NAME IF NECESSARY 11. BSDTAR will report error but it will extract the .mfd file 12. NOW TYPE BSDTAR -xf .msd". THIS WILL EXTRACT THE MSD FILE 13. LOAD IN DAEMON TOOLS 14. INSTALL THE GAME, YOU WILL GET A CORRUPTED FILE ERROR. PRESS IGNORE 15. Once it is install go to the game directory and enter /data directory, you will see "meshes.bsa". THIS IS THE CORRUPTED FILE. 16. Go to "Special PAR..." folder in this torrent and copy the .PAR2 from there to the Oblivion/data folder. Run the PAR2 17. QuickPar will open, Once done working click repair 18. PLAY!

BearishSun (2006-03-22)

It works I just played it :)

Korpse (2006-03-22)

This method will absolutely work as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. If something gets screwed up along the way, you messed up somewhere. Reread and retry.
100% proof positive working install

Quiver77 (2006-03-22)

Do you know how to speed up the leeching process. I see some guys already at 100 % downloading the ind version og 4 gig and mine only reaches 30 kb/s. Something to do with the settings?

Dillipaa (2006-03-22)

Thx man! Now I don´t have to suffer one week before I get the original! :-)

source600 (2006-03-22)

thanks u bead u rock

Sn00k85 (2006-03-22)

To bad my dld speed is shit right now..gonna take 6 hours with this speed..:( Buhu, and I that got such nice speeds with the "release".. oh well..

BadIronTree (2006-03-22)

nooooooo

xunix (2006-03-22)

BearishSun FOR PRESIDENT.. no, EMPEROR OF THE UNIVERSE!! vote or die!!!

Kaputnik (2006-03-22)

KConrad (2006-03-22)

Cheers Bear ^^ Wanna see the wankers whine now :P

rkolech (2006-03-22)

I think the command in step 12 shuld be:
"BSDTAR -xf *.msd"
In case you are wondering I added the * before the .msd.

bibihest (2006-03-22)

lazlo4: Im sure hes trying to hack and crack us and whatever he was bragging about earlier..

manticore666 (2006-03-22)

IT WORKS NOW, BUT IT IS JUST OBLIVION, I THOUGHT IT WAS BATTLETOADS :(

deepred (2006-03-22)

400 kb/s... very nice job I must say.

polekatt (2006-03-22)

wouldnt mind some seeds on the other torrent, got 93.3% and downloading at 3kb/s :S

Tannatos (2006-03-22)

fiiiiinally a proper guide how to get it work. love u BearishSun

Freakarmy (2006-03-22)

what happened to seeding ?

BearishSun (2006-03-22)

@rkolech
adding the * in front of *.msd will cause it to fail. DO NOT ADD THE *, wont work

BadIronTree (2006-03-22)

BearishSun
can you upload a new correct one?

BearishSun (2006-03-22)

RESEEDING THE TORRENT

trigjeeeh (2006-03-22)

Indeed why didn't u fix it for yourself and then made a new Proper release, I think i am going to wait for a new proper release

dimothy10 (2006-03-22)

how you guys getting such speeds! mines gonna take 52DAYS or something lol

rkolech (2006-03-22)

BearishSun::
Sorry my bad!!!!

Quiver77 (2006-03-22)

Same question here, how to speed up the downloading process?

rouher (2006-03-22)

2BearishSun
Thanks for patch. Can you post .md5 sums of .mds and .mdf files?
I am trying to fix parity on linux box.

Bluestream (2006-03-22)

It'd be so much easier if someone could share the fixed .iso?

The_torn_prince (2006-03-22)

Go BearishSun Go Go Go. When do you think you can upload a fixed version of oblivion`?

Linuxman (2006-03-22)

OH HELLS YEAH !!!
thnx bear in the sun

damnit199 (2006-03-22)

Since I stopped downloading the original. I'd prefer to get a one time fixed ISO file please. 17 Steps to fix is absurd. Please share the full working ISO for the rest of us. Thanks for everything.

scarfacexxx (2006-03-22)

Thanx Bearsun (dont forget ppl at least here is some1 willing to share an trying to help) dont knock the help as it might be another long 24 or more........................

quezcatol (2006-03-22)

Its not absurd,but for us that doesnt know much about pc's,expecting how to mount or fix a crack,its just to much.
And before anyone says;"then buy the game" i am for the 360 as soon as its out in sweden.
But i wanna try it now,... :(

krellik (2006-03-22)

Bear you are the man, but we all want the fixed iso now:):):)

T-Dude (2006-03-22)

I've often wondered what would happen when Usenet standards meet torrent standards. The result apparently is pretty funny. Amazing how much trouble people have understanding PARs and what they do.
But hey, great job Bearish. I'll be enjoying this thanks to you in a bit. I'll drink to your name sometime tonight.

ghostchaseruk (2006-03-22)

a working iso wood be nice

The_torn_prince (2006-03-22)

jupp. *Drool*

mnap86 (2006-03-22)

THIS WORKS!

BearishSun (2006-03-22)

Fixed here:

warning.sharks (2006-03-22)

Thanks to everyone responsible getting this to the poor folks in europe who get everything late :-)
I shall own the 360, and PC copys this Friday :D - and the guide ;)
Just hoping I'll finish downloading before its time for bed, 60.1% .. 50kbps

LordSanta (2006-03-22)

"GMT:
This guy have been working like.. many hours to get it working, also taking the time to keep us all notofied of his status, and finally, after he have been trashed for like.. 400 posts, he actually writes a complete guite to fix it and uploads all the files needed.. I'm not feeling like demanding more from him...."
/Agreed.

B744 (2006-03-22)

weeee my pc restarts with this fix :D

TaBuNiW (2006-03-22)

Thanks, BearishSun.
Really appreciate all the work you put into this.

cullyn (2006-03-22)

Am I the only one who can't get the bsdtar to work?

MaXMC (2006-03-22)

I get the Oblivion-IND.zip is
missing?
And I can't press the repair button, I've done the steps as described.
What's up with that?

reality81 (2006-03-22)

wooow.. this will make some of the lesser people suffer =)=)=)

BearishSun (2006-03-22)

@maxmc
You don't need the ZIP, you didn't read the instructions carefully. Click ADD and select 001-086 files

deepred (2006-03-22)

Damn... it keeps freezing at the start of the installation :(

tag! (2006-03-22)

Works fine without the .mds file, you just need the .mdf image.

Sn00k85 (2006-03-22)

Hi guys, How do I do...Ive done all steps until the step 9. Could someone In detail explain..:(

beef38 (2006-03-22)

Please help - i got all the way to BSDTAR.
The file is located just on c:
What is the command pls - i cant seem to get it right

Sn00k85 (2006-03-22)

yea. that the proble, Im not good with this DOS-crap :D

nytt dokument (2006-03-22)

what is wrong when i get the message from BSDTAR
Oblivion.mdf: ZIP compressed data is wrong sizeCan't set permission: Funktion not implemented
d:programgnuwin32binBSDTAR: Unrecognized archive format: Unkown error

Alegi (2006-03-22)

Why doesnt this fix work for me? When I do step 6 I cant add the files first, because the program does something to the par files first, then when i add the other files, it still doesnt work :(

nytt dokument (2006-03-22)

I did not get any mdf file or any other file then, (i did rename it to tar.gz)

BearishSun (2006-03-22)

nytt you are using *.mds, you should be writing .mds
these instructions work 100% just clear your mind and do ONLY what is says here

beef38 (2006-03-22)

Someone please help me - i am not a noob at this but it just wont work. I have tried over and over. my msn is beef382001@hotmail.com. Please contact me on here

nytt dokument (2006-03-22)

no it is at step 10 it wont work, it says i should get a error message ( i got) but i dont get the mdf file

Sn00k85 (2006-03-22)

"9. use BSDTAR from APPS folder(Go Start->Run->type cmd and press enter. Find BSDTAR folder, enter /bin, type "BSDTAR -help"
.-------
Bear please explain what do I type to find the folder in DOS/cmd window.. I got no clue about the command.
I got the cmd window open, just need the command for finding the DIR. If you understand what I mean? :)

Christallica (2006-03-22)

Yeah I got the same problem as nytt dokument.
The computer starts to work and all but there is no file extracted. Where should the file appear after the extraction?

MaXMC (2006-03-22)

@Sn00k85
You know where you placed the bsdtar files?
probably C:Program Filesbsdtar or something.
"cd" moves around and "dir" lists file in the current directory.

Sn00k85 (2006-03-22)

@Sn00k85
You know where you placed the bsdtar files?
probably C:Program Filesbsdtar or something.
"cd" moves around and "dir" lists file in the current directory.
----------------------------
oh yes, I know where I put them. Just can´t find out which command for "going into that folder In this Dos-shit :P" But Ill try your tip there, thnx

deepred (2006-03-22)

I got the mdf file, but it stucks at 0% in the installation. Anyone else getting this?

CharlesMartell (2006-03-22)

Followd all the instructions to the point but it wont give me the .mds file at the end anyone else get this issue ?

deepred (2006-03-22)

Appears like the .cab files in the .mdf still is damaged.

CharlesMartell (2006-03-22)

.msd file I mean ofcourse.

theslim (2006-03-22)

Can anyone write more specific about the "cmd" part? dont quite understand it.

MaXMC (2006-03-22)

Ok now we've tried .msd .mds
It's supposed to be .mds but the file isn't written... is it needed? If so plz create a torrent or explain what's wrong with this command?
M:ProgramGnuWin32bin>BSDTAR -xf .mds
It doesn't work not with .mds or .msd

MaXMC (2006-03-22)

M:/Program/GnuWin32/bin>BSDTAR -xf .mds

CharlesMartell (2006-03-22)

Get the same problem, its annoying as hell :)

deepred (2006-03-22)

The file is there :P It is in the by default i think. Look in that folder.

Trigga (2006-03-22)

oke guys its easy that part
just type it like maxMC and the file will be created in the GNuwin32/bin foder
there will the mfd files be

CharlesMartell (2006-03-22)

Got it just type in the exact name of the file after listing it
M:/Program/GnuWin32/bin>BSDTAR -xf Oblivion.mds

deepred (2006-03-22)

Local disc:documents and settingsyourname
It should be there after the dos steps.

Dillipaa (2006-03-22)

this how u do:
1. start cmd
2.type "dir c:" and u get all the files in c: harddrive.
3.The default folder should be Program Files so u type "cd c:Program Files" and press enter
4.just type "dir" to get all the files and folders in Program Files.
5.Then u just type "cd GnuWin32" and enter.
6.And last just type "cd bin" and enter, and u should be there. just type dir to see the files.
7.So the default installation of bsdtar should be c:Program FilesGnuWin32bin
hope u understood anything ;-)

deepred (2006-03-22)

But the problem persists, it can't be installed.

Dillipaa (2006-03-22)

sorry should be "cd c:Program Files"

GoGo21 (2006-03-22)

Idid it untill step 10. Because step 11 it extracts nothing not with mds or msd. And if i look in my Wingnu32 directort where it extract MDF file the file is only 1.75GB. Well doesn`t that make you think ?? it doesnt work in daemon nothing works. Great got 4 gb of crap on my computer wel no thanks at all

CharlesMartell (2006-03-22)

at 15% of installation atm seems to be working for me.

theslim (2006-03-22)

I could use some help on step 10 and forward, so if anyone of you could PM me, it would help alot. jsut ask for my MSN so we can talk.

Alegi (2006-03-22)

Now something is wrong at my place, I am at 10, and the thing is, after I pressed enter when did the 10, nothing happens. The computer is thinking like hell but no errors, no nothing :( what could I had done wrong?

Nin9 (2006-03-22)

It's not Bear's fuckin fault some of you are morons. You saying you have 4GB of CRAP is the equivalent of me telling you you have 2kg of crap in your head.
If you downloaded all the files properly, you screwed up somewhere in the steps.

beef38 (2006-03-22)

Ok you must be patient after step 10 - it comes up with just black in cmd but it is extracting (look in the bin directiory and see the file changing). It takes around 10 mins to complete. Have patience. If your file is only 1.7 gigs or 2.2gig you didnt leave it long enough.

Alegi (2006-03-22)

Ok so I fount that the .mfd file was in the /Bin map in the freaking BSDTAR map, after getting the error:
Oblivion.mdf: ZIP compressed data is wrong sizeCan't set permissions: Function n
ot implemented
BSDTAR: Unrecognized archive format: Unknown error
So all that got the same error, look in the /bin map, It might be in there. But I sure cant get the .msd file though

Construct (2006-03-22)

It works! Krudos to all the hard work, BearishSun, simply amazing!
I didn't manage to extract the .msd file, but the file is not needed to mount in Deamon Tools. Just write *.* in the search bar and select the .mfd file.

GoGo21 (2006-03-22)

NIN9 You prik go fuck your self. If Some one told me and i cant read it back at the steps. For the one`s who cant go further then step 10. Its like this:
"BSDSTAR -XF

Alegi (2006-03-22)

Well as long as this one works 100 % ingame then its cool, I guess the diffrents between this one and the RELOADED is that this one is harder to install?

GoGo21 (2006-03-22)

i see that something wrent wrong with my comment whell again then.
At step 10 it goes like this:
"BSDTAR -XF

prowler01 (2006-03-22)

Thanks for all the hard work BearishSun it works a treat!

lellyville (2006-03-22)

ppl should just download the reload.. looks safer

warning.sharks (2006-03-22)

Nah this one works mate, I've been speaking with beef38 on msn, he has it working successfully using the IND.FIX :-)

taz200 (2006-03-22)

i ONLY get a .MSD file empty and NOT a MFD as it say!
in NO way can I get a MFD file either, and i do as it say!!!!

Baltimore Dank (2006-03-22)

thanx for trying, but you, IDN, fail for this release^^ pars....missing files....why just slow down and make sure everything's straight?...i do appreciate the effort tho.

taz200 (2006-03-22)

Im fukking sleeeeepy.. maby got it right now.. darn,15 hours looking DL and dealing with this 1 game.. thtts fucking crazy

taz200 (2006-03-22)

NEX u forgot ALL the slashed DUDE!!
/prg/crap/wht ever.exe

Mortal Paladin (2006-03-22)

Haha yeah way to much trouble plus the game deserves to be bought.

Nex11 (2006-03-22)

I didn't, the site just deleted the slashes when posted.

 Ziiiiiiiiit (2006-03-22)

well.. when I try to write the commandostrings in cmd "BSDTAR -xf " i just get synthax error on the command.. why?

 Ziiiiiiiiit (2006-03-22)

commandostrings.. what an odd mistyping :P I meant commandstrings

ivanhoe68 (2006-03-22)

Omg it`s not oblivion it`s doom 1 that runs on a 386 comp ffs

mrmaigo (2006-03-22)

can't install either

Tannatos (2006-03-22)

It works perfeckt with the method from CharlesMartell:
M:/Program/GnuWin32/bin>BSDTAR -xf Oblivion.mds
and
M:/Program/GnuWin32/bin>BSDTAR -xf Oblivion.mdf
Files are extracted to the bsdtar folder ^^

theslim (2006-03-22)

I still cant get past number 10. can anyone help me??

Krayvin (2006-03-22)

I'm having the same trouble as Ziiiiiiiiit.. I enter everything just as everyone says. Ive tried entering it so many times i know it by heart easily. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I have my torrent on a different hard drive, so I moved it to my program files. so I Put,
BSDTAR -xf
and it tells me "The syntax of the command is incorrect." I have entered it ever way they have been saying. And it keeps saying the same thing.
This is starting to frustrate me.. And I'm Broke so I can't buy it :(

theslim (2006-03-22)

Here is what u do, go to Page 5 and follow the link and download the RELOADED release. wont fuck up ur mind like this torren, WHY CANT IT BE EASY TO INSTALL THIS GAME?

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Why do I keep getting a database error when trying to post a comment which is slightly longer than this?

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Anyway, make sure you set Windows to display file extensions before step 8.

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Otherwise you will rename whatever.zip to whatever.tar.gz.zip, because the .zip part isn't showing.

unwantedolly (2006-03-22)

I cant seem to get the .mds file

MrOrsh (2006-03-22)

På steg 10, jag får bara "option needs an argument -- f" efter att ha skrivt in allt rätt. Vad kan vara fel?

MrOrsh (2006-03-22)

Now it´s working, typed it just like this: C:GnuWin32binbsdtar -xf C:Oblivion.tar.gz Oblivion.mdf
don´t forget that it should be backslashes "", not regular slashes "/". woho!

MrOrsh (2006-03-22)

Hm.. Piratebat seems to remove my backslashes, however, write as I did and replace the slashes "/" with backslashes.
C:Gnu/Win32/bin/bsdtar -xf C:/Oblivion.tar.gz Oblivion.mdf

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Also the files should be .mdf and .mds, NOT .mfd and .msd as it says in the instructions.

stolmann (2006-03-22)

seed people

Cocio123 (2006-03-22)

screw this.. im going to download the reloaded file instead..
only thing that was extracted with this method was a 400mb file that was useless...

MrOrsh (2006-03-22)

Ah. Just forget everything I said, it didn´t work. I´m heading for the RELOADED instead.

xunix (2006-03-22)

hey guys youve gotta help me out a little on this one... im stuck at point number 9,,
im not that good in the cmd,and i´ve read these instructions a couple of times now.
everytime i type something it says "directory not found"... now im not saying this will or wont work, I just need to know HOW THE FUCK YOU GET THIS BDSTAR SHIT TO WORK!!!

frepper (2006-03-22)

Good work BearishSun, I had some trubble first but when i sobered up I accomplished the shit.

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

What is the location for the extracted files when you did the command lines ?

Xeald (2006-03-22)

This works fine for me. it took some time to understand how to do but its working now.
I did not care to extract the .mds file.. it did not work. but i did not need it eather for deamon tools.

xunix (2006-03-22)

plz, just tell me how you did it, i tried around a little, and got through to the bin folder.. now, when I type -xf C:downloads...tes4oblivion blabla, it just says: "no such file or directory"

frepper (2006-03-22)

Hmm, strange tho... I move in slo-mo while the rest of the world keep a normal pace... anyone else with that problem?

theslim (2006-03-22)

got the same problem as xunix... it doesnt find th tar.gz :(

xunix (2006-03-22)

I know theres just some tiny piece of shit that im missing out on this one.. it feels like im so close to getting this mother to work. does anyone out there know how to do this? in detail??

theslim (2006-03-22)

xunix PM me, so we can discuss on msn :)

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

XEALD
the mdf thingy workt for me , but now i'm having some trouble mounting ...if you would be so kind I pm'ed you with my msn

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Everyone who's getting "no such file or directory": You renamed the file incorrectly. Your file is now called Oblivionsomething.tar.gz.ZIP !! Go back to step 8, make sure you REPLACE the .zip with .tar.gz.

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

To make Windows show file extensions in Explorer: Tools > Folder Options > View and uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types". Otherwise you'll just be adding ".tar.gz" before ".zip".

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

You really need to be spoon fed, don't you.

theslim (2006-03-22)

I´ve done it Erazor_ but it wont work, if you could explain to me on msn i would be very happy :)

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

Erazor did the mounting work for you?

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

It worked for me now , If you want me to explain it pm me with your email

Raiyden (2006-03-22)

hmm can anyone help with this slight problem I have. When I enter cmd, I start off with the default directory as C:Documents and SettingsStef
How do I enter another directory i.e. C: ?
I have tried typing in C:
and C:
but neither works can anyone help?

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Okay, I got the same error but I moved the tar.gz file to the root of a disk (D:oblivion-ind.tar.gz) and now it's working.

quality cheers!!

Exodusnl (2006-03-22)

I was extracting the mdf file, but now it says:
"ZIP compressed data is wrong size. Cant set permissions: Function not implanted. Unrecognized archive format: Unknown Error"
Same with the mds file.
Now what?

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

I figured bsdtar doesn't like either quotes around or spaces in the path you give it, maybe both. That's another reason people get "no such file or directory".

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Exodusnl: It says in the instructions that you will get an error. That's the error.
"11. BSDTAR will report error but it will extract the .mfd file"

Exodusnl (2006-03-22)

Okey thx didnt see that.
But now, where did it extract the files to?
Im a noob on this, sry

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

In Your bstar directory

Erazor_ (2006-03-22)

Mounting worked fine for me, I couldn't extract the .mds file but it's not needed. Just have Daemon Tools open "All files (*.*)" and select the .mdf file. I'm installing now.

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

Erazor, I'm Installing 2 , but it seems it does not go further then 1 block
Installing Oblivion ....
[]
And the target dir. keeps empty

KennyGzor (2006-03-22)

Ok works fine for me now, Selected all the oblivion files on the mouting and changed the read only to off
works fine now

Raz0K (2006-03-22)

step 12 is actually not really necessary(description is kind of wrong too..), just mount the mdf . The rest is done within 10 minutes.
to BearishSun:
thnx for the resource fix.

Raiyden (2006-03-22)

ok didnt seem to post all that i wrote
BSDTAR -xf

Raiyden (2006-03-22)

ok didnt seem to post all that i wrote
"BSDTAR -xf "

Exodusnl (2006-03-22)

My mdf file was extracted into my C:documents and settingsuser map, and not into the Bin map

Clown029 (2006-03-22)

Thats because ur messing up at the end
BSDTARlocation/bin>BSDTAR Oblivion.mdf
your problem is you are finishing Oblivion.tar.gz.mdf not makeing a file name for it to extract too. So make sure you place a space after gz and put a file name with .mdf

Clown029 (2006-03-22)

all i have to say is im on step 18 :D

Exodusnl (2006-03-22)

Well everything went ok, installed the game.
But now the game freezes at the intromovie.
Anyone else got this prob?

oVetarn (2006-03-22)

i just don't understand how to move around in cmd so if any kind person would take some time and explain it to me over some kind of chat i would be delighted

-DCX- (2006-03-22)

I got a problem just renaming the file oblivion-ind.tar.gz I do so ... but when I try to enter the command in step 10 it says its not there. But then I checked the file. It is a zip file but with the name Oblivion-ind.tar.gz.zip How do I make it fully renamed?

jcx665 (2006-03-22)

Ok, this might sound stupid but how do you ghance filename in XP, i tried to ghange the Oblivion-IND.zip to Oblivion-IND.tar.gz but it keeps telling me that it is still winzip file. it shows me this Oblivion-IND.tar.gz.zip

-DCX- (2006-03-22)

Im stuck at the very same thing jcx

jcx665 (2006-03-22)

Sorry didnt see your post

Raiyden (2006-03-22)

Go to Settings>Control Panel>Folder Options>View> then uncheck the Hide extentions for known file types
Then you can rename it to a .tar.gz and delete the .zip

markaren (2006-03-22)

What am I supposed to do on 9 ? Dont understand it..

Raiyden (2006-03-22)

ok
use BSDTAR from APPS folder(Go Start->Run->type cmd and press enter. Find BSDTAR folder, enter /bin, type "BSDTAR -help"
Going to Start then click on Run. Here type in "cmd". Then press enter. You should come up with a DOS window.

oVetarn (2006-03-22)

ok so..when i do the
"BSDTAR -xf ".
the only thing that happens is that i get a no such file or directory error
pliz help

TheDraken (2006-03-22)

Instruction 12 is wrong down here is how it works
12. NOW TYPE "BSDTAR -xf Oblivion.msd" THIS WILL EXTRACT THE MSD FILE

PsiTroN (2006-03-22)

you have to make sure you wrote the whole directory path with backslash and everything correct or you get that error

TheDraken (2006-03-22)

Do not hit me :P
its not msd its mds
12. NOW TYPE "BSDTAR -xf Oblivion.mds" THIS WILL EXTRACT THE MSD FILE

PsiTroN (2006-03-22)

you dont need the mds file to mount in daemon tools just the mdf file

oVetarn (2006-03-23)

i put the file in c root so it should just be c:oblivion-ind.tar.gz?

-DCX- (2006-03-23)

Strange.... I write the full command.(( blabla . -fx Oblivion.mdf ))
What is wrong with this? When I do this. THere is no error or any message... its just starts on a new line as I was just pressing enter without typing anything

PsiTroN (2006-03-23)

yes

oVetarn (2006-03-23)

i rechecked that i didnt misstype the path but it still didn't work so i tried relocating it but now i got a permission denied message instead

TheDraken (2006-03-23)

Do it without Oblivion.mdf at the end just like the instructions say and the file ends up in the bin folder of gnuwin32

Raiyden (2006-03-23)

DCX check the bin folder in windows. The file is there. And is slowly being extracted. So don't close the cmd window tills its finished otherwise you have to do it all again!

-DCX- (2006-03-23)

Oh fuck I am so stupid! The file mdf file has been with me from the start!!! NOOOO... hahahha

-DCX- (2006-03-23)

Thanks for reply;) Ill do all for helping others... THis was messy

markaren (2006-03-23)

what am I supposed to write in cmd?

Raiyden (2006-03-23)

np DCX took me 5 bloody hours to get the bugger working! :p

xunix (2006-03-23)

this one works fine.. just takes some time.. dl the reloaded if you dont want any probs..

Krayvin (2006-03-23)

Curry777 (2006-03-23)

Help, can't get it working

Curry777 (2006-03-23)

on point 10. I get a error that it like Oblivon.mdf: Zip compressed data is wrong..blalblabla
Olbivion.mds: Can't set persmiision function implemnted

Dezztroy (2006-03-23)

ARGH!!!!!!!
i got the extract thingy to work, but then i mounted the file and it worked, but NOW comes my problem...
i opened the setup file, it said that verifying shit and then it just crashes!
give me that "send error report" thing.
i think its because like 4 of 6 or something data files are 0B in size :/

Dezztroy (2006-03-23)

btw the image file is 4.18 gig
sry for double post :P

seifer666 (2006-03-23)

I got it working, so i will tell you a 100% accurate way.
First, dont waste your time typing long filenames, dragging a file into CMD instantly types its name perfect.
1. drag BDStar into CMD,
2. add -xf
3. Put a " d
4. Drag the tar.gz, add last " (make it in quotes)
4. itll blink and extract, will give you a pointless error, but mds and mdf will appear in the bin folder

Curry777 (2006-03-23)

@Seifer666
The mdf, mds file appears in BDSTARs bin folder BUT they are 5kb and 50 mb. It's wrong.

Curry777 (2006-03-23)

When I do 10. It says:
Oblivion.mdf ZIP Compressed data is wrong..
Oblivion.mds Can't set permission
Then function not inmplented..

Marcuz (2006-03-23)

Praise the BearishSun!

Curry777 (2006-03-23)

Sorry, but BearishSun..
Why do you realease something that doesn't work then realease a fix that aint working either.
*goes downloading Reloaded*

tombonator (2006-03-23)

Works for me..
Thanks for all your help bearishun:)

seifer666 (2006-03-23)

The Fix works, but its complicated. Use my comments, and dont worry about the Can't set permission error, it doesn't matter.
As for Curry, i think maybe your repair never worked if your files are too small.

thadivine (2006-03-23)

seifer, can you please be a bit more specific with the " d and clear 4 up a little bit more? like giving an example...
thnx very much man! you too BearishSun!!!

thadivine (2006-03-23)

doesnt work for me :( can you upload it at imagebucket or something :D ?
thnx!!

thadivine (2006-03-23)

ok..got the img working...but i get some other dumb message...i use my station F: at both, is that ok?

seifer666 (2006-03-23)

you used > instead of a slash.
i was already in the directory, so ignore the >
as i said, dont type it anyway, just drag the BSDTAR file into the CMD window, and it will type the path on its own.

thadivine (2006-03-23)

lol i just tried that but becouse i thought you had to do the > sjit i changed that..dumb me..
thnx a lot man, ill tell you soon if it works :)

Arabking (2006-03-23)

Thank you BearishSun...hehe im playing and enjooying this amazing game though im going to buy it on friday :)

thadivine (2006-03-23)

i got the same thing that i got earlier when i tried. I did "path:bsdtar.exe" -fx "path:Oblivion-IND.tar.gz"
and it said this: pathbsdtar.exe: must specify one of -c, -r, -t, -u, -x
HELP!!! :(
thnx for all the help man :)

Jalopena (2006-03-23)

I have mounted the files already, but I can't get the installer to run. Seems like most of the files are empty.. Can anyone help?

thadivine (2006-03-23)

ok now i tried it again and there seems to happen something, thnx a lot for all the aid man :)
strangely enough tough...I dont get an error message...

thadivine (2006-03-23)

Finally extracted, THNX MAN!!!!

Krayvin (2006-03-23)

Thank you seifer666!! I love ya! It works I even got it installed!
Thanks again!

KEVORK89 (2006-03-23)

I read it...but i don't succeed... i type :
BSDTAR -xt E:DVIXOblivion-IND.tar.gz

Curry777 (2006-03-23)

I might a have a solution about the ZIP Compress file doesn't fit blalblalba at point 10.
I have forgot to select the .001 file in Quickpar and repair it. That might explain that the size doesn't match I dunno really. I have already gave up, downloading relaoded instead.

almosthero (2006-03-23)

anyone know a way to change the place the mds ends up since my Windows partition is rather small?

innerthief (2006-03-23)

BSDTAR -xt E:DVIXOblivion-IND.tar.gz.zip

TAnnihilator (2006-03-23)

Before I got the fix I renamed all of the files Oblivion-IND.zip.001 etc, I am at step 10 now and when I enter the directory for Oblivion-IND.tar.gz it calls it Oblivion-IND.tar.gz.zip.
Now my 001-004 files aren't in recycling bin for me to redo it without the .zip. Can I somehow make it not a .zip? Thanks in advance.

TAnnihilator (2006-03-23)

jynxycats (2006-03-24)

getting an error on the voices 1&2 .bsa files while installing the game, along with the meshes.bsa.
is this supposed to occur ?
i've tried to repair the original oblivion zip file multiple times now, and it never seems to repair it to 100% :l

 Debender (2006-03-24)

men hur får jag ut mds då? :S

TAnnihilator (2006-03-24)

OK so I repaired the files once, messed up with something tried to just do it over again so I deleted the 4GB file. I can't get the repair option since the files are already repaired so I can't get seem to get another one of those 4GB files..

jynxycats (2006-03-24)

after attempting a repair the 5th time, it magically verified as correct -_-
-shrug-

Koririn (2006-03-24)

Still no progress, nor answer? Starting to get slightly frustrated...
No one got an answer to my bug?

TAnnihilator (2006-03-24)

Koririn, you need to slide the files onto the cmd to get the right directories.
But I need to know if you can get another 4GB extracted file without having to repair.

dabuh (2006-03-24)

Still no one who could send me the mds file. julesjoosten@hotmail.com

 Debender (2006-03-24)

C:Program FilesGnuWin32bin>BSDTAR -xf C:Oblivion.tar.gz
BSDTAR: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'C:Oblivion.tar.gz': No such file

now i get this:S

TAnnihilator (2006-03-24)

Get the directory by dragging the bsdtar.exe into there, same with dragging the par.

 Debender (2006-03-24)

great!! now it works!

Darcus (2006-03-24)

Quick Question: I know what to do here. But i would like to know how i change the drive where the mds file ends up. Cause now it ends up in my C: which i dont have the space to put it, i also tried to install BSDTAR on another drive but the file is allways going through or landing on C: if u know what i meen.

Kyusabara (2006-03-24)

Yeah these instructions kind of suck. I did what it said but still no MSD. I managed to get the .mdf though. Need help. or if the msd file is small email to Kyusabara@hotmail.com

Draekyn (2006-03-24)

I have gotten the same error as you sypher but it doesnt seem like a mfd file appears in the bin folder any help?

Pettenks (2006-03-24)

Lol... feel like the odd one out, but could anyone send me the mdf file? petterintok@hotmail.com

Lord-Ronddraai (2006-03-24)

the mdf is 4,18gb
i don't think anyone will send that to you ;-)

TwoyTaylor (2006-03-24)

So much about these instructions are shady. I get lost almost immediatly at step 6 and 7. I added the .001-.086 files like it says. Step 7 says "wait." Am I supposed to click create after adding these files? There are several different "buttons" to click and different options to choose. Can someone give me a push in the right direction?

BearishSun (2006-03-24)

Instructions are perfectly correct, you are just not following them correctly. Opening quickpar BY CLICKING ON quickpar.exe or it's shorcut IS NOT WHAT THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY. Run it by CLICKING ON THE PAR2 file.

Lord-Ronddraai (2006-03-24)

i followed the instructions perfectly but i can't seem to get the oblivion.msd...

progressions (2006-03-24)

I'm afraid I am confused--when I perform step 6, it's not clear what action I should take before I "WAIT might take some time..."
I clicked CREATE and waited, and when it finished there was no "4GB .zip file". Should there be? If so, where would the 4GB .zip file be?
Thanks.

narutochaos (2006-03-24)

Plz send me the MSD file! my e-mail is Robinheggelund1@hotmail.com
if u do i will help u complete this shit so we can play! ;)

Thoddin (2006-03-24)

gahhh im exited ^_________^
it seems like i got it working thx bearish

revdrlon (2006-03-24)

OKAY! i think what we need here is detailed step by step instructions on how to get the msd file after we get the mdf file, cuz when i do it i get the mdf file but then i try to do the next step and nothing happens, it seems like it does something but nothing new shows up in the bin directory

revdrlon (2006-03-24)

^^^its step 12 that im having the problem with, i do everything it says but i dont get the msd file

Rowena (2006-03-24)

i give up att stage 9 .... obs dont bother downloading, download the Reloaded insted

revdrlon (2006-03-24)

i got it working. to get the mds file open the .tar.gz file with a program called 7zip, you can download 7zip - look it up in yahoo, once you extract it you get the mds file. put that with the mdf file from before and it should run. take up at step 15 and it will work.

CroatiaFvr (2006-03-24)

Thanks Bearish!

ssjack (2006-03-24)

can any one send me the MSD file! i get themfd file, but not the msd file.
thanx, i really appreciated
my e-mail is blablazoca@yahoo.com

kheros (2006-03-24)

You can just mount the mdf in daemon tools, you don't actually need the msd!!! Just select 'All file types' when you want to mount an image or type in the name of the mdf file...works like a charm.

marcelus25 (2006-03-24)

I have problem with 10 step ....
i followed instruction and typed
BSDTAR -xf
and it didnt work ....Help !!!

Starcomper (2006-03-24)

What should I do on stage 9, and what do you mean by "Enter /bin" ?

Starcomper (2006-03-24)

Am I supposed to install BsdTar or what?

dabuh (2006-03-25)

hey,
For all the people who are looking for the mds file i've got the solution. You don't need it. Just start deamon tools. go the the file in which you have placed your mdf file. You won't see the mdf file unless you search for all files in that map. So instead of look for mds files, you must scroll down to look for all files. If you start the mdf file with daemon it will start installing the game.

Starcomper (2006-03-25)

marcelus25: You're supposed to write not just " BSDTAR -xf " but (Example" BSDTAR -xf .msd") this will extract the msd file I think.I haven't tried this myself but the instructions say so.

Starcomper (2006-03-25)

My mistake on last one, write the Oblivionlocation/Oblivion.tar.gz within after BSDTAR -xf and then write after that .msd, THAT WILL EXTRACT THE .MSD FILE (At least i think so). my mistake on my last post.

Starcomper (2006-03-25)

Write it within

Starcomper (2006-03-25)

TPB Rubbs away my signs so And I can't help you any more, bye!

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

I am stuck at step 9, what do you mean by "Find BSDTAR folder, enter /bin, type "BSDTAR -help""
Do you mean im to find it in command promt? if so, how and what command do i use?

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

Now i am stuck at step 12, i have typed --- "C:Program FilesGnuwin32binbsdtar.exe" -xf "C Program Files
Where do i put .msd?

Johnny F1ve (2006-03-25)

I have the same problem except I followed instructions. you have to REMOVE the .zip, bro.
anyhow... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!! Ive tried
bsdtar -xf a million ways and I have nothing, infact for some reason I have a 0 byte MDF file in gnuwin32bin now that I cannot mount, aside that nothing has happend but "syntax" error... PLEASE HELP!!!

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

How do i remove the .zip? thats the file name, if i remove it, then it cant find the obliv file

Vorn (2006-03-25)

LOL. Could Someone explain the 9 part. I don't know how to do it :S

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

Ok, ive found my problem, its not making the mdf file, ive followed the instruction perfectly, but it just doesnt do it. After about a min of "thinking" it does nothing with no resulting mdf file at all. What do i do?

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

i entered "C:Program FilesGnuwin32binbsdtar.exe" -xf "C Program Files
and then it said unrecognized archive format: Unknown error

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

and at step 8, it stays a .zip file, even if i rename it, GAHHHHHHH. sooooooooooo ANOYING

Vorn (2006-03-25)

Could someone just please write the instructions a bit more clearly ? :S

Vorn (2006-03-25)

AARGH! This is so fucking annoying! I'll download the other one.

crazyhic (2006-03-25)

Crazyhic, the file should be "OBLIVION-IND.tar.gz" and the mdf file is sent to the /bin dir if that helps any.
NOTE TO ALL: If you have any characters in the file path that aren't letters, numbers, periods, or dashes, and are having problems, try putting the path in quotes (ex: "C:Documents and SettingsuserTesko's StuffOblivion-IND.tar.gz") just like Crazyhic did below...
But I'm having problems getting the .MDS file... grr...
