Hi all,

I have been getting some great tutorials from members here regarding Nifskope usage, and I've been happily merging NIFS for a mod I'm working on.

My latest endeavor has caused me some frustration and wanted to get a little push in the right direction if someone could spare some time.

I'd like to merge two nifs, one is a standard table, and the other a lantern.

The tricky part is the lantern - it's the kind with the flickering candle in it. it has the whole NiControllerManager and some complex children that I don't understand. I started copying branches from the lantern NIF to the table NIF, but the best I could get was a lantern that didn't flicker.

Of course, you could say "don't try to understand this, just reverse it and import the table into the lantern".

I indeed tried reversing it, importing the table to the lantern. It worked. This produced a flickering lantern just fine of course, but the table's Z position wasn't favorable for me in game (i'm scripting the table to appear, rather than just set it up statically if that makes sense). I'm actually more curious about just how to get this to work (perhaps another project I'll need to know how to do this, etc).

At any rate thanks for your help everyone!
