Just installed 2.49b for import/export,and whenever I import file I get this error : Python script error : Check console. And when I checked console,I got this error : Blender NIF Scripts 2.5.8 (running on Blender 249, PyFFI 2.1.11)

What are you trying to import?

 

(Edit)

 

Oh what the heck, I’m going to make a wild guess here and assume we are talking about Skyrim, and you are trying to import unaltered vanilla meshes, am I right?

If so, then what you are getting is an incompatible user version error message.

What you need to do is open the mesh in nifskope and change the user version numbers in the header to Fallout 3 versions.

With the mesh open in nifskope look at the user versions in the header, there are 2 of them. Change the first user version from 12 to 11, and then change user version 2 from 83 to 34.

Save the nif some where it wont overwrite the original, I myself use a folder I named Blender Ready. Open the saved file and you will see that some things like BSLightingShader have now been separated from the root block of the nif, this is because these are no longer compatible with the changed version and they need to be deleted. You can delete them separately or you can select the root block and right-click and select crop to block. Save again and it should now be ready for import to blender.
