📋 About This Mod
Official site here: ocol.alexstek.com OCOL is an attempt to replace the original launcher for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion with a much more powerful iteration using the same graphic theme and aesthetic. OCOL not only replaces all the important existing functionality of that launcher but greatly extends it to provide increased usability for mod consumers and developers. This is the third iteration of OCOL\'s development. OCOL now fully replaces the original launcher in every important capacity and now includes a fully working \"Graphics\" tab. In addition, many of the bugs present in the second version of the launcher have been removed. Features: \"Play\" button launches OBSE by default. Configurable. Construction Set Launching via OBSE Load Ordering Graphics Management INI Editing (with Filter) Configurable Mod Utility Shortcuts Version-aware of OCOL, OBSE, and Oblivion Requires: . NET Framework 3. 5 DirectX/Direct3D Oblivion To Install: 1) Download and run OBSEInstaller.exe. The default launcher (OblivionLauncher.exe) will be backed up and replaced with OCOL. ALTERNATIVELY: 1) Download the portable executable OCOL3.exe. Put it wherever the hell you want and run it however you want. Keep in mind that updates are always going to try to download the installer, so I would turn those off if you\'re using the portable version. To Uninstall: 1) In your Oblivion directory, delete OblivionLauncher.exe. Rename OblivionLauncher.exe.ocolbak to OblivionLauncher.exe. Disclaimer: I am not responsible in any way for any damage your use or misuse of this application might cause to your oblivion installation/computer/life. That being said, I am always trying to improve software that I develop in any way I can. Please let me know if you discover any bugs so I can patch them and release an update. To anyone interested in creating a derivative work or improving this launcher: I\'m amenable to releasing the source code for this project should we come to some kind of agreement about how it would be distributed. Let me know.
