neok182 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE, NOT FOR RELEASE theres a few things i'd like to convert from oblivion. main and most importantly being a hood since it looks like no one is ever going to make a real one and the oasis hood in fallout sucks. I already got the files out that are needed but i have no clue what to do to get them to work in fallout. just gives me an error saying the file is too old. so i beg someone here to explain or link to a place that tells me how to do this because i've done 20 searches and can't seem to find any explanation on how to do it.

Cipscis Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It is illegal to use assets from one game in another (with the exception of completely custom user-made assets, of course), even if it's only for personal use, so I doubt you'll have much luck getting any information on how to do this if that's your aim. I'm not sure if there's currently any way to convert Oblivion meshes to Fallout 3 format, but I'd be willing to bet that any method that exists will be pretty difficult.

neok182 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 as long as you personally own both games and dont redistribute the files theres nothing illegal in it. Just go look through the files of fallout nexus there already are a few ports of stuff from oblivion. in this topic a guy ported the halo suit from oblivion to fallout. so i know it's possible. and theres nothing wrong with it if it's for myself. And if you still say i should only use a custom mod, then i have 4 of them downloaded from oblivion that include meshes as well. so i have a few choices, i'd just really like to be able to do this for myself since no one seems to want to do it for the public.

Just go look through the files of fallout nexus there already are a few ports of stuff from oblivion.No, that's just a common misconception - even if you own both games and only use the modified files personally it's still illegal. Only with assets that are completely user-made is this legal, so things like that halo suit that you mentioned are perfectly legitimate. If you contact that author of that mod you might be able to get some instructions as to how to port user-made assets from Oblivion to Fallout 3.

Interfer0 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I would think it would be a simple as opening the nif in 3ds max and then export it as a new f3 object, then it would take some tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj577 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 not sure which post it was of there's but find DragoonWraith's profile and find the post he made in relation to other game assets being used. It pretty much explains the stand on everything with usage of other game assets. Cheers CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
