Major Setback...

So bad news... I was SO CLOSE to publishing ODOS. I literally have the Nexus page all set up, ready to upload the zip file and press "publish"... 

But before that, to make sure everything worked, I was testing the mod on other computers. I sent the zip file of the mod to my brother, who installed everything correctly... and the item freeze script doesn't work. We tried to figure out what is wrong, and I eventually tried to test it on my computer. I backed up everything, made a clean Oblivion install, and it doesn't work on my end. Restoring my previous install also doesn't solve the issue, the freeze script just doesn't work anymore. 

I have narrowed it down to the function "GetEditorID2", which for the longest of time worked for me, but now (as warned about in the documentation), can possible not work. And now it doesn't. And even if it did, I wouldn't trust my mod to work on another machine as it is. All the other parts of the mod work (storage system, mannequins, Dynamic Static Objects, etc. It is just the positioning of displays that doesn't freeze the items).

So now I need to rework the script. I already have a new approach in mind, which wouldn't need that function to work, and isn't too difficult to implement. However, it means that I will need to edit my documentation, and redo all my tutorial videos...

But don't worry! As soon as I get it working, I will quickly edit the written documentation and release the mod. And then I will work on the videos, releasing them as I finish them. I won't make people wait so long. 

I'm very disappointed to get a block so close to the end, but better that than getting a bunch of comments on how nothing works... lol.

I will keep updating as I progress!

ODOS Update - Documentation!

 I have finished writing the documentation for ODOS! You can find it on the top navigation page on this website. 


The last step before release is packing the mod, and making sure that everything is included, and test things for a last time, then it will be uploaded! Very exciting!

ODOS Final Teaser

I figure I might as well make a last demonstration of the finished product of the tutorial series, showcasing all the features of ODOS.

I'm working on writing the documentation, which I will have here on my modpage. 

ODOS is coming soon!
