STEP Core map problem

[WuXeS]

First post hello,

 

I've recently installed the complete STEP Core, as per 2.2.8. All seems rather fine so far; however, my map looks like this:

 

 

I don't think it's supposed to look this way - there aren't any roads and it's generally kind of crap. My installation order and priorities are pretty much exactly as suggested by STEP and the only extra mods (on top of STEP Core) are the Green Water Fix and RCRN.

OK, I've just fixed my own problem, well done me.

 

I checked the MO filetree for AQWM and sure enough, the folder and file structure was there, but all files were 0 bytes in length. I redownloaded the mod (installer version) and installed via MO, same result. I then repackaged the mod choosing the STEP Core recommended version (main roads only, hi-res) and installed the new archive. It worked fine.

 

Is this a problem with AQWM installer? Can anyone confirm? The latest version of the mod is from 2012, so it hasn't changed since STEP 2.2.8.

 

I'll go through other STEP Core mods to make sure it didn't happen anywhere else. So far it doesn't seem to be installer-dependent (as SMIM installed fine).

It sounds like you have the beta 1.2 version installed. If so, upgrade to the 1.2.1 beta which fixes the problem. 1.2 beta had a problem in the fomod installer for some C# fomod archives, which A Quality World Map is one of them.

[WuXeS]

Thank you! Do you know of any other specific mods that were affected?

[DoubleYou]

Any archive that was installed with the NCC installer could be affected. For STEP, I can only think of SkyUI and AQWM that use them, but I'm not sure.

[WuXeS]

Thanks again. :)
