The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints

How can I load the new modules in the Construction Set program?

  • 1 of 11: See the general tips in the main Oblivion UHS hint file for info on where you can download the Construction Set program and how to use it to do a few simple things.
  • 2 of 11: Several of the new DLC module files won't load into the original version 1.0.303 Construction Set program, but you can now download a patch that'll update the Construction Set to version 1.2.404.
  • 3 of 11: Read on if you need or want to use the original, unpatched program for some reason.
  • 4 of 11: There is a way to make the new files work with the v1.0.303 Construction Set -- at least part of the way. (You may want to read on to the end of these hints for more details on what will and won't work, before you start editing files.)
  • 5 of 11: To do that, you'll need a program that can hex-edit files. Text editors such as Microsoft Notepad and Wordpad won't work for this.
  • 6 of 11: Make a copy of an ESP module file that won't load into the Construction Set, naming it anything you want to, and then load that copy up in your file editor.
  • 7 of 11: Look at the very top of the file to find the letters HEDR.
  • 8 of 11: The six bytes following the R in HEDR will be 12, 0, 0, 0, 128, and 63 (or 0C 00 00 00 80 3F in hex). That's what's messing you up. Change those values to be 12, 0, 205, 204, 76, and 63 (0C 00 CD CC 4C 3F in hex).
  • 9 of 11: Save your changes, then run the Construction Set and load up your altered file. With the changes you made, it should load and let you view everything just fine.
  • 10 of 11: Unless, that is, you have the Shivering Isles expansion game installed. It updates the Oblivion.esm file to be unreadable to the old Construction Set, so you'll have to apply the above change to Oblivion.esm before you can load and view any modified ESP files. (The change won't mess up the Oblivion.esm file at all, and you could always change it back later.)
  • 11 of 11: Unfortunately, viewing some things such as quest info is impossible with Shivering Isles installed, even with the above file changes. For instance, the program will always crash when you try to view quests. See "The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles" UHS hint file for more details.
