📋 About This Mod
Tweak Oblivion 5. 10 (Build:370) by Fawzib Rojas (f_rojas@spectron-msim.com) This program will let you edit the Oblivion.ini file with ease. You can also make backups and restores so you can experiment easily (the backup is a XML file). The . NET 2. 0 Framework is required. It also has a description for some key fields explaining what they do. You can add new descriptions by right-clicking an item and selecting \"Set Key Description\". Now the interface files can be edited too as long as they are valid XML. Those who make interface mods could make a configuration file to edit the interface too. A sample configuration file (Interface.txkeys, based on DarN\'s interface file), is in the TweakOblivion directory. Go to Help->Contents and it will list all the menu options and what they do. INSTALL: Just run the install program. Changes: 5. 10 (Build:370) - Bug fix, when you tried to run it and Oblivion was not installed properly it would crash because the registry key didn\'t exist. If this happens now it will ask for the Oblivion directory. 5. 10 (Build:360) - Fixed bug when writing XML files, I was writing valid XML but the Bethesda XML parser didn\'t liked it (didn\'t liked attributes with single quotes) 5. 10 (Build:350) - Many internal changes - Formatting on XML Files was lost when saving interface files. Now the formatting is retained. 5. 00 (Build:310) - Some inner changes for future options. :) 5. 00 (Build:295) - Enabled INI key descriptions updating through web 5. 00 (Build:290) - Fixed bug with profile editing. When adding a boolean value to a profile it was added as True/False instead of 1/0. - Added Skycaptain\'s Background Tweaks to profiles 5. 00 (Build:285) - Added column sorting for profiles. Fixed extension and description for Interface Sample File. 5. 00 (Build:280) - Fixed another bug in file editor (this time is Bethesda\'s fault :) ), for some reason when looking for files Bethesda assumes the file system is case sensitive, even though it\'s not. So I now capitalize the first letter in each directory (yuck!). 5. 00 (Build:270) - Fixed bug in file editor, added extra \\ in the file path 5. 00 (Build:260) - Added File editor to interface config file 5. 00 (Build:255) - Problems saving XML files for the interfaces, fixed 5. 00 (Build:252) - Problems renaming Profiles fixed 5. 00 (Build:251) - Now works on Windows for X64 (thanks to McDexter for telling me) 5. 00 (Build:250) - Restore defaults wasn\'t working correctly. - If you reload the INI, it will duplicate the entry in the XML tree tab (cosmetic bug) - Started working in preview (again) 5. 00 (Build:240) Rewrite means new bugs :( - Fixed internationalization - Fixed Profiles (they couldn\'t be enabled, never assume :)) - Fixed problem loading hints, INI file 5. 00 (Build:230) Full rewrite. Now . NET 2. 0 is required to run. 4. 20 (Build:145) Changed the Interfac
