In fact, the problem is even worse than this because Oblivion immediately recognizes the new directory path <u>textures\armor\iron\</u> as soon as you add it to your Data folder. It doesn't even need to be listed in your AI.txt because the Oblivion automatically scans your Data folders and recognizes that directory path as being one from the BSA that has <b>common filenames</b> which have already been invalidated.</p>

- Haven't tested the latest version, but Timeslip says he has added new AI.txt options in 0.7.6: "It lets you choose exactly which types of files to include, and there's options for ignoring files not in BSA's, normal maps, and files with incorrect extensions. Following MadBat's suggestion, it also deletes empty subdirectories from the data folder. Default settings are to only include textures, and only ones which already appear in a BSA archive. Hopefully, that should keep most people happy." Heck yeah! (In previous versions, use the DDS textures option.)</p>
