hey guys! i don't want any kind of credit i do not deserve :) i was in the same situation like you are but then, after some researches, i found than on 12/11 dudes at niftools released a new version of nifskope which actually can read and modify the emissive color of the glow here it is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/niftools/files/nifskope/1.1.0/ i used the release candidate 2 but i see right now there's also a newer rc3 :) in conclusion, if something, i'm only the first one who noticed the nifskope update :P
