What is it?
It's a very simple OBSE plugin that removes the file version check from the data file loading routine from the old version of the Construction Set (cs). This means you can load esm's and esp's that were created using the newer version of the cs.
What it's handy for and the reason I wrote it is because the newer version of the cs can't generate lipsyncing files. The code to do it is actually completely missing from that version. However if you try to load your mod into the older version of the cs it wouldn't load your mod as it's file version would be newer than the version the cs could handle. Now you can easy load you mod into the older cs in order to generate lip files. :)
How do I use it?
It's pretty simple. First you need the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) from version 12 or later. i.e. with plug-in support. Then extract the plugin file into you Oblivion directory. Just copy the data folder into the same directory the Oblivion exe file is in.
(The plug-in file should end up in your Oblivion\data\obse\plugins folder).
Next you need to tell OBSE to run your older version of the editor. Create a shortcut to the obse_loader exe file. Next edit the shortcut's properties (right click and select properties) and in the Target box, at the end of the line of text, type in:
-editor -altexe <the name of you old cs exe><br><br>For example mine is:<br><br>"C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\obse_loader.exe" -editor -altexe tescsold.exe<br><br>Click OK to save. Then rename the shortcut to something easier to identify.<br><br>Now when you run the shortcut it'll load the old version of the cs.<br><br><br>Where can I get OBSE from?<br><br>You'll need to download it from their website:<br><br>http://obse.silverlock.org<br><br><br>How do I install the old version of the Construction Set?<br><br>First if you have the newer version of the cs you'll have to uninstall it. Next download the old version of the cs from Bethesda's website and install it. Once it is installed find the TESConstructionSet exe file and rename it. I've called mine TESCSOld. Now uninstall the cs again. Don't worry your renamed file won't get deleted. Now reinstall the new version of the cs.<br><br><br>What's the src folder for?<br><br>As per the OBSE team's request I've included the source code for the plug-in in this directory.
