now that is one nice feature of note (among the many nice features)
Pacific Morrowind

From what I'd said back in that thread ? That was before I considered NifScript Thanks !


Great Success :clap:

For default meshes it works like a charm. I'll post the other mail's I send you since you last reply:







Should I upload the attachments anywhere else or are the emails enough?
I can resend them, too, if you'd prefer it that way.

btw.:
I think you forgot to change the Version returned by GetPluginVersion (or did it return 0 at the first release?).

Now that's something awesome. :shifty:

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=870602&view=findpost&p=14555189 using the NifGetBackShield-Command.

So it works? Or is it still off?

I'm not going to support that one. In v1.0, you can do far more complicated and customized manipulations, and that function will remain undocumented and unsupported. The other two will become deprecated.

Not at all, the one in the version you send me worked better.

Gladly I only declared it as a Beta.


Important part of the Script:

Hmm. That's with v0.9 on Nexus? That looks similar to the problems I was having with v1.0, but the whole point of v0.9 was that it was from before certain changes that caused problems which generate similar log files. Odd that NifGetAltGrip and NifGetOffhand would work but not NifGetBackShield.

At any rate, I'm afraid I can't offer any help on that. I don't have the source code for v0.9 to try to fix it, and v1.0 is a bit away. So NifGetBackShield will probably never work. You will be able to reproduce its functionality with the v1.0 functions, once it's released.

Hi, new to the forums. I'd like to make a suggestion for a future build of NifScript.

Is it possible to develop a script that allows for switching between left-handed/right-handed orientation? Not simply the off-hand function already built into NifScript, but an ability to change the way a player holds the weapon so that the left hand holds the primary weapon, whereas the right hand holds the off-hand. It may seem as simple as just flipping the skeleton animations, but I suspect there is a lot more work involved.

For example, when it comes to archery, I'd like to have my player character hold the bow in his right hand, and draw back the string with his left hand, just like back in Morrowind (Vanilla-Oblivion only has animations for left-hand bow users, including the sheathing/unsheathing, drawing back on string, reloading from quiver etc. animations).

Perhaps it may be even possible to have a function that allows players to pre-designate hand-orientations for different weapon categories to save from switching hands when changing between different weapon types every time (melee - default right handed, ranged/bow - non-default right handed)?

Thanks

I just heard about this and I'm certainly no expert in any way in any of this, but would it be possible to have an option to look for a specific texture path (a particular string) and replace it with another specific string and then save the modified mesh under a specific name.

That's as simple and specific as I can make my request and have it be useful to the mod I'm working on, so if it's not possible I'll continue with my other searches.

Once upon at time I was dreaming of an OBSE plugin that would allow me to dynamically update VWD by manipulation of distantLOD files, either by temporarily moving them to a backup folder, or appending them so that the engine wouldn't see them until I wanted it. After looking through this Nifscript thread I am again reminded of my oft wished for ability, and wish to inquire as to this being a possible function?


edited to say: I realize .lod files are not .nif files, and that this is 'Nifscript'. But the functionality would be very similar it seems to me regardless...

I don't know. Maybe. But it would involve developing the reverse animations, and getting a way to trigger them with a script - neither of which NifScript can help you with. I very much doubt NifScript would be able to create the reversed animation on the fly, and furthermore I don't think there'd be much point to doing so.

What you're looking for, I think, is for the OBSE team to crack the Special Anim list so you can add/remove animations from a script.


Yes, I think that would be possible. Not in v1.0, most likely, though.


That seems like just moving/renaming files, rather than modifying the files - correct? If so... a utility, like NifScript, could do that, but I'm not sure it falls under the purview of NifScript. Even if you were trying to do it with .nif files.

As far as whether or not NifScript could manipulate .lod files, it depends on whether or not NifLib can. I don't know if it can or cannot.

Very cool stuff DW.
The ability to edit a .nif via script while in game........Limitless possibilities with that.
Bravo :clap:

I'm glad to hear that. I was trying to be coy back then because I wasn't even sure my idea was viable, but what I'm looking at is adding a function into my armor stand mod to strip the "skin" portions out of armor models and replace it with a transparent texture. It would greatly increase the looks of the armor stand and greatly decrease the creepy "headless person" effect.

Ahhh...reading your response gives me another Idea, which wouldn't require that we modify .lod files (that was just the method I had originally envisioned and not necessarily the best way to do this.) Since VWD is also dependant on there being a corresponding _far.nif to go with the .lod file...all that is really required would be a way to move/append those files, until I needed them... which correct me if Im mistaken, is already possible with nifscript? Even if not currently a function, it would fall under the purview of Nifscript alot more handily than the other method. Anyway...just a thought.


Indefiance

Hehe, very glad you like it! Yeah, I think it's pretty cool. Wish I had more time to work on it... ARES is draggin on, and I don't expect this'll go much faster when I get to it.


Assuming they are separate 'children', that functionality actually may be in v1.0. The GetOffHand function already does that for scabbards; making it available for other children should be easy. I'd just have to write a function to be able to check the material type (or whatever that data is that gets set to "Skin") so you can find the right children to delete. Should be very do-able.


I'm... confused. I don't understand what you're doing.

If you need to modify the files on the fly, that's something that NifScript could be used for, perhaps, eventually. .lod files aren't going to be touched until after I have a very solid set of functions for both .nif and .kf files, though, I suspect, because I think there's more interest in those files.

If you just mean moving/renaming files without modifying their contents, I think a custom-built plug-in that did just that would make a lot more sense. There are security issues with allowing modders to move or rename files that I'm pretty sure I don't want to get into.

I suppose this is the place to ask for some functions I'd like ot be able ot use with nifscript.

A way to check a NiTriStrip's marterial, then copy the nif if the check is passed to a directory of my choice, before deleting the associated NiTriStrips (which have the material I checked for) in this new nif.

Also a way to change a NiTriStrips alpha property, but i see you are already working on this. This is the most important for me right now. The other one can be achieved with alot of nifskope to make it compatible with other mods, but it will still be needed in the long run.


Hope you can understand me

OK, on the alpha - I seem to recall (and it's been a long time since I ran this test) that messing with the alpha values worked very wonkily. Just saying.

And as for copying a Nif to a directory of your choice... probably not. You can copy a Nif, and I'll give you an ID number by which you can refer to it (and delete the NiTriStrips that you want to delete; checking the Material should be very possible), and I can assure you that that file will always be available when you need it (actually the main thing that stands between v0.9 and v1.0 at this point), but most likely you won't get to name the folder or file itself, which will instead be named systematically by NifScript (something like Meshes\NifScript\Your-Mod\00000001.nif or something).

that looks very good... except for the

all in all though that looks very promising... when can I get my grubby hands on it?
Pacific Morrowind

Uh oh, f your approaching V1.0 I'll have to start salivating again, and that's just going to make a mess

I am really looking forward to getting my hands on it though. I've tried to not pester you too much, given what I put you through to get the beta for UV RC1 done, but I've been patiently awaiting you getting interested in it again.

All the best DW,

That was actually a bug in the debugging messages, not the plug-in. I changed the way commitChanges() works without changing the NifSetStringExtraDataValue function.


Yes, I'm very sorry about that. School'd been hectic, hadn't had time. Things are going swimmingly now, though.

Get the nif, get some values, change some, delete the scabbard, save and reload, and everything works juuuust fine.

It good to see this thread has become active again I think we all know the potential of this little tool.

Personally I am very interested in knowing how far we are from the possibility to change the TEXTURE.DDS paths? So we could get seasons to change over time.

I still have to go through the thread/PMs to determine all the requests that I've gotten, but now that you mention it... I think I can probably do something like that pretty easily.

Niflib's really a dream to work with; it just works beautifully. Now that I've got serialization sorted, this shouldn't be too hard.

Oh, my goodness... a new UV release, and maybe the possibility for seasonal textures? Ah, the wonders...

Yeah, I just looked it up - assuming everything works as advertised (and Niflib has an impeccable track record thus far), changing textures should be trivial.

My only concern is that if you can't simply swap out the objects, you might have a hard time reloading them, since that maybe implies that you can't Disable/Enable them? I don't know. But you do need to force Oblivion to reload the Nif to get any change to appear.

...huh. I'll have to ask behippo/Scruggs about that. Currently I can detect when Oblivion is loading a new Nif. I wonder if I can force it to do so? That... would be nice.

Oh, and you'll still need to change the model path to point to a new one, because NifScript isn't going to let you modify models that exist on the disk, only create copies you can manipulate. That might cause a problem with trees. Hmm. Maybe I'll consider some kind of exception for that.
