Nif files and handling them in Nifskope.

Post » Sat Jun 08, 2013 10:37 am

Ok, figured this could use its own thread.

For anyone interested, I am assembling information on nif files and adding various things in Nifskope like no collision etc, anything thats used alot.

http://provincecyrodiil.project-tamriel.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=964

So far, its the most useful pertinent information I have seen in one area and would have saved me loads of time had I found something like this when I first started making stuff.

This relies on the person reading having at least a bit of basic knowledge here, or them being able to figure it out quickly. It isnt going to tell you where things like "save" and "load" and stuff that basic is or teach you the layout of Nifskope. However, it will tell you how to add collision, no collision, alpha, etc. I am still putting in more info and it is a work in progress, but it already has quite the bit of useful info. Info, that so far, I have yet to see compiled in a single location. Unless I missed something, I didnt even find this on the wiki.

If anyone feels something should be added, feel free to post there.

Have you already checked NifTools Wiki, most aspects were already covered there long ago.

Yep, if you read the thread you will notice I mentioned looking in the wiki. Its in complete disarray, there is spam all over it, and searching for terms like specular or whatever doesnt yield anything because they were never added.
