I recommend starting a new game if updating to version 4.0.0. It may be safe to update mid-save, but there are a large number of changes to dialogue, quests, etc.
Version 4.0.0+ uses a metadata file which is read by MWSE to confirm that you have OAAB_Data installed and give you an error message if the OAAB_Data-metadata.toml file with the correct version is not found. OpenMW users are unaffected by this for now.
How do I fool Chanil-Lee as a mages guild member ? A helmet does not help. EDIT: Alright, after looking her in the CS, my other 300 mods must somehow conflict with her helmet global. Any idea ? Something must be affecting the full helm globals or something.
I was getting the "missing mod" message even though OAAB was installed and up to date. I removed the meta file and stopped getting that message.
Does the purpose and functionality of the meta file ONLY encompass the issuance of error messages? If so, I'm happy to keep the file omitted, and knowing the nature of the meta.toml file would give me a better understanding in general, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
I think there was a bug with how MWSE was reading the metadata files before. I'm not currently getting this error in version 4.1.0. Let me know if it persists for anyone who has the metadata file installed.
Endar Drenim just keeps saying give me a moment when i return to give him the weepings and vampire dust, i have the most recent version of OAAB what should i do?
Thanks for the report! I've found the issue and it will require an update to fix it. For now, run these two commands from the console and you can get past this part of the quest:
I'm running version 4.0.6 and I encountered the exact same issue (Ender says 'give me a moment', though he also takes 1 unit of corprus weepings each time, and force-closes the dialogue box). Thanks for the console commands, but can you double-check that something else didn't break this quest?
I've done almost all of the quests and I'm really enjoying this mod so far. There are a couple of areas where I got stuck, and I'm not sure if these are bugs related to other mods or if the scripts are working as intended.
Chanil-Lee recognized me as Arch-Mage (I was roleplaying a Telvanni infiltrator, rising through the ranks of all available factions while undermining the Empire and Tribunal Temple at every opportunity) even when I wore a full-face helm, and she kept saying she already had her orders. I lured her into the cellar of the Six Fishes and used Taunt to bring her disposition down from 100 to 83; after that, I was able to give her the paper and finish the quest like normal.
I fought for the glass helm but it wasn't there when I looted my opponent's corpse. When Dratha found out, I eventually landed in the water while wearing a constant effect Slowfall enchantment, and my game crashed to desktop.
The 2nd part of the healers quest which makes you to return to tel mora underground !!! This one is even crazier, you don't even know what you are looking for at start. I finally stumbled upon one of these big chests, with a memory stone inside. But how many are there ? I found the 1st, 2nd, and 4th, but I really have absolutely no idea about where could be the 3rd one !!! And I turned and turned around this place, levitating or not for quite some time to find these 3, but the last one remains hidden ! I hadn't even found one of these chests the 1st time, do they appear only when you return ? I didn't look for them anyway the 1st time, and none is in an obvious place... ! I think I'll give up for the 3rd, there is no "find container" spell in morrowind (there is one in skyrim if using apocalypse !). And apparently these webs you can clear are some kind of spiders generators ? But you never know if you found them all or not, I thought I had found them all the 1st time, apparently it's not the case... or some new ones are generated for this time ? Anyway, what a crazy mess ! I don't know how much time I spent turning in this tel mora underground, but too long probably ! Maybe I'll use the console for the 3rd one, after all its name can probably be deduced from the 3 others... I'll see that tomorrow, too late for now !
edit : found out using the tecs, but even with this it took me a while to understand : it's behind the web which seems to block an access, you can fly there but you don't see much there (at least with my light settings). The chest is there, but behind another web, solid this one, you can't go through. If you manage to see this chest, and it's almost invisible for me, without the tecs I wouldn't have guessed it was here, then you can try to move around the web wall, you can advance on the right side, and from there you can finally reach the chest ! Wow !!! After that activating the stones one by one by moving them on your character, when it's done with the 4 stones the journal is updated and you can finally bring them to the healers ! What a story at least, the story is quite awesome, but it was really too hard finding this stone !
Haha, it's fun to hear about your journey on this one. And I appreciate the feedback on the difficulty for that third stone! I'm in the process of updating this mod so I will take that information to heart and see about whether there's a better way to hide it behind the webs.
I'm going through almost the same journey at the moment (patch 4.0.6). Good to know I'm on the right track investigating that webbed-up section; I guess I just need to keep nuzzling the walls until I get somewhere.
Hi, I think I have a bug on the Vampires Attacking Tel Mora quest. After I go to Erer Darothril with Endar's Influx, he tells me to return to Endar with it, but now Endar no longer has the dialogue topic for Vampires Attacking Tel Mora or the topic for Endar's Thesis. What should I do to progress the quest?
Do you by chance have only vampire dust or corprus weepings in your inventory but not both? It seems like I have a dialogue filter set up which is accounting for you to have neither or both, but not one or the other. Drop it on the ground and talk to Endar again. That should work.
If it doesn't, then get a sample of each and then run `Journal "OAAB_TMora_VampireAttack" 60` from the console and speak to Endar again.
Yes, I only had vampire dust in my inventory - I had solved the issue with console based on the advice you provided someone earlier for a later stage, which had done the trick. Many thanks!
I do think I have run into one further issue, though - after killing Dratha and replacing her with Endar Drenim, Endar refuses to speak with me once he has moved to Tel Mora. He gives the same dialogue as Dratha's former retainers, along the lines of "You think I would speak to you after what you did?". I don't know if he has any further notable dialogue or quests after this point, but it seems to have been locked out for me unless I can get him out of Dratha's chamber somehow.
So I think I somehow soft-locked one of the quests.
After going through the main OAAB Tel Mora quest for healers in Tel Mora, Dratha's Mouth asks if you want to keep the index or not, and I didn't think I'd need it again so I gave it back.
The next quest in the chain is diagnosing the mentally unwell woman for the new healers. But here's the thing: they ask you to GO BACK to the caverns beneath Tel Mora, *but I had already given the index back to the Mouth*. Yet the quests do not acknowledge this at all, and it seems to assume you kept the index. So why even allow us to give the index back if we need it again in the very next quest??
I tried to talking to every NPC from the Healers questline to see if there was a topic to ask for it back, or find it again. Nope. The quest just gets soft locked, forever to be unfinished in your journal.
If you pay close attention to what the healer tells you, she hints that there may be another index near Dratha (it's hidden in her chambers). It's definitely easier to complete the quest if you don't turn in the original index.
I kind of stuck in a smiliar way. I did not keep the Index, but cant find another one in her chambers. I assume her chambers are labeled "Upper Chambers"? Any hint would be welcome!

Like everyone else, I'm a big fan, btw!

I've also updated this mod to version 4.0.4 which should fix this issue.

I did in fact find another index. Hidden like a boss too.
