Nothing at all. Or at least nothing beyond what I'd suggested earlier - Tell the linker to look through it at link-time.

hmm, my script is crashing the game.

Im trying to use it to scan a mesh to find any parts where the material is named 'skin'. however I cant even get to that part yet because it crashes at the first bit. Thisi s no doubt a problem with the way ive structured it, but I figured thise would be the best place to ask.

if player.GetIssix Male	let filepath := GetBipedModelPath 0 upperbodyrefelseif player.GetIssix Female	let filepath := GetBipedModelPath 1 upperbodyrefendiflet nifID := NifOpen $filepath 1let filepath := NifGetPath nifIDset tempvalue to 1while tempvalue <= NifGetNumChildren nifID ;<--------- This is the line where it crashes;	if NifGetNthChildMaterial tempvalue nifID == skin;		set upperbodystep to 2;		message "Yes skin found";	endif	set tempvalue to tempvalue + 1loop

I'll need at least NifSE.log for this. The nif you were testing might also be useful.

EDIT:
I did testing, yes it was an issue with the OBSE saving the string, i obviously didnt do it right, not a NifSE problem.

I solved that other issue, but here is one involing NifClose, once it gets to that linei n my code the game crashes.

let nifID := NifOpen $filepath 1let filepath := NifGetPath nifIDset tempvalue to 1while tempvalue <= NifGetNumChildren nifID	set material to NifGetNthChildMaterial tempvalue nifID	if sv_Compare skin material == 0		set upperbodystep to 2		messagebox "Yes skin found"	endif	set tempvalue to tempvalue + 1loopNifClose nifID

the relvent lines from the NifSE log:

NifClose - Closing nif #32-0getRegNif - Finding nif registered as #32-0.getRegNif - Nif #32-0 found.getRegNif - Nif root is good.

any ideas?

Finally got some time for testing.

Results:

• My calculations are crap.
  
• Change nif seems to show up correctly; can't tell for sure because of the first point.
  
• NifClose crashes the game.

Hmm... Must have broken NifClose somewhere along the way and not noticed. Sorry. Will look into that.

Im just wondering if in later versions I can get a function to add a NiAlphaProperty to nif and some way to check for one. Is this a crazy request? Its not really important because Im still far from finishing my mod, but it is something I would like in the future.

Very possible; might even be in v1.0, since I want something similar for ARES. However, last time I checked the Alpha property did not work very well in Nifs. It would be really helpful if you could play with it (just in NifSkope) to see how it does and doesn't work. On a weapon, anyway, it kept flickering to opaque...

oh? Ive never had an issue with it.....i think vertext colors can make it go a bit funny but :shrug:

I just remembered another one of those properties, more importnat then the alpha,a NiStencilProperty, which can be put onto a nitristrips/nitrishapes to make it double sided. Very useful f you delete part of a nif that both sides are showing on the other parts.

Any updates on this?

I finally have my computer working again. Yes, this took like a month.

Still struggling with setting up Visual C++ for working on this, though. I can't seem to find a simple executable installer of the Windows Platform SDK anywhere. Does anyone know of a place to get it, or if the latest Windows SDK (not-platform) is suitable for my purposes?

I hate the stupid background work to get this set-up. Has easily been the biggest hurdle in this entire project...

Do you have an MSDN subscription?

Come on the chat on the wiki, and I can try to help you in real-time.

On the chat thingy, sent you a PM. PM me back and we'll chat. I really appreciate the offer.

OK, sort of fixed that, but now I get this:

1>tes4_bsa.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _inflateInit_1>tes4_bsa.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _inflate1>tes4_bsa.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _inflateEnd1>D:\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\OBSE Source Code\NifSE\Debug - Static\NifSE.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

So... I'm back to where I was before. Same problems I had last time. shadeMe said he'd gotten it working, but I don't see how.

OK. I think I'm in business. As in, it just compiled and the compiled DLL seemed to work. I just sent it to shadeMe for confirmation that it works on machines-that-are-not-mine. Assuming this is the case, I can get to work on this tomorrow, start churning out bugfixes, and we'll see what we can do about a very brief alpha 1.2, followed by some kind of a beta, which hopefully will not last particularly long either.

Those waiting for UV2, I suspect that beta will be what you're looking for. That's up to HeX_0ff, though.

:foodndrink:

That's great news DW. Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on the next alpha

Just on the vague off chance you're not keeping track what with all the computer based disasters you've been having, here are the issues I'm aware of:

Array of meshes always returns the 0th element.
Rotation matrix always returns the top left element.
Probably worth checking that translation matrices aren't doing the same thing...
Autoupdate the 3d for any NifSE edited meshes when loading - though I'm not sure if that's going to require OBSE19?

Anyway, best of luck

HeX

Hehe, I can't wait for you to have it!


Thanks! As you'll note, though, I have a "Known Issues" list in the OP - pretty sure I covered everything here. Pretty sure I checked NifGetNthChildLocalTranslation, but I'll double-check anyway.

EDIT: Double-checked, and you have that a little wrong - NifGetNthChildLocalRotation returned the top left 3x3 matrix from the 4x4 Transform matrix, while Translation doesn't use a matrix at all, just a 3 vector.


Thanks!

Oops, haven't been back to the OP for a while... :blush:

One thing I seem to recall. When I read in the rotation (even though it was wrong) and wrote it back again, it massively scaled the object. That suggests to me that it was writing to scale rather than to rotation? Could be an issue to check with the setrotation command.

edit:



This appears not to be the case, as long as you compile them as "set" rather than "let" I've been using them with NifSE, not nifscript for testing for the last month and they work just fine. I suspect all you have to do is register their return types with OBSE and they'll be dandy.

HeX

Downloading it right now (net's rather shaky at the moment).

very nice to see you back

Whoo, fixed the CS incompatibility thing. My messaging interface initialization was occurring in the !editor block, which obviously wasn't being run for the editor.

This is good news I think

I'm delighted you're back able to work on this...

Yeah, you can get the "actual" alpha 1.1 version http://code.google.com/p/nifse/downloads/list?saved=1&ts=1277234482. This download also has any fixes listed as "fixed in the source" in the OP, such as the rotation matrix thing, but not (for example) the fixes to NifOpen/NifClose (which I haven't done yet). Since I haven't gotten confirmation yet that the DLL works for others, I haven't made it the "Featured" download yet, though. Anyone who wants to confirm that, I'd appreciate it.

It seems the "new way" of doing zlib may have massively increased the size of NifSE. This bothers me; I'll have to figure out what the hell is going on here. I don't honestly know, though...

I think I'll just hang about for the NifOpen/NifClose fix, since that's the most immediate problem for me, and the version I have isn't giving me any gyp right at the moment

Totally fine. Those two are next on my list, obviously.


Issue here: OBSE doesn't seem to send that message in Editor mode. :unsure2:

It does - That's how CSE sends the CSEL message to registered plugins. Here's my code:
Plugin_Load()

	g_msgIntfc = (OBSEMessagingInterface*)obse->QueryInterface(kInterface_Messaging);	g_msgIntfc->RegisterListener(g_pluginHandle, "OBSE", OBSEMessageHandler);

void OBSEMessageHandler(OBSEMessagingInterface::Message* Msg){	if (Msg->type == OBSEMessagingInterface::kMessage_PostLoad) {														// initialize script editor components		CLIWrapper::InitializeComponents(g_CommandTableData);		delete g_CommandTableData;														// register known plugins with the messaging API		g_msgIntfc->RegisterListener(g_pluginHandle, "NifSE", CSEInteropHandler);			g_msgIntfc->RegisterListener(g_pluginHandle, "ConScribe", CSEInteropHandler);	 														// dispatch message to all listeners		_D_PRINT("Plugin interop initialized; Message dispatched\n");		g_msgIntfc->Dispatch(g_pluginHandle, 'CSEL', NULL, 0, NULL);	}}
