Hi, i'm codeing and making my very first project. The Fossa. Unfortunatly, when everything was going good, I booted up the game, and the animal menue icon is a white box, the animal won't show up at all, and the Zoopedia is entirly BLANK!!!! I have nooo idea what I did wrong, but its looking impossible for me. If someone could help, I would REALLY appreciate it.

Thank you!

Blank icon and animal-not-showing-up are covered in the Common Problems section--it's a mismatch of file names between your .nifs, .xmls, and .dds files.

The zoopedia is probably blank because you have an open tag. Find the file in your folder and double click it to open it in internet explorer (or firefox, whatever you use). If the text shows up in full, you should be fine and your problem is elsewhere. An Error message will probably show up telling you that you have an open or mis-matching tag (possibly a <p> or <i> tag).

Hope that helps!

Also, every time you make a "link" to the zoopedia in all the xml files, such as zoopedia_codename, the codename -must- be in lower case, for some reason. Double-check that to see if it magically appears :)

Icon being blank implies that you have mislabeled the path to the icon.dds. Open up all your xml files and check that it's correct. In fact, the animal not showing up definitely sounds like you've mislabled something somewhere! :)

If you deleted the folder from your desktop, it should show up in your Recycling Bin. :3
