How to utilize OBMM.

This page updated on 12/8/2008 12:15:04 PM CST

News

As events unfold, I will post the latest news here.

Plans (Ideas for improving this site)

  1. My Modding Project list can be found at The Elder Scrolls Forum.
  2. On Hold - (0% complete) Add a scripting page that lists every scripting function and explains it's usage in detail with mutliple examples. Basically, what I envision OBMM's help page should be. Who knows, maybe Timeslip will copy/paste items into his help file. :) - I could use some help on this so feel free to contact me.
  3. On Hold - (0% complete) Create a tutorial section specifically dealing with the installation/upgrade/configuration/uninstall of OBMM.
  4. Request - (0% complete) Add tutorial on how to use OBMM's Archive Invalidation.
