Zerin99 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm new to moding. I tried downloading blender nif scripts and it tells me I need to download PyFFI. when I try downloading that I get this message. Blenders user data files (such as scripts) do not reside in blenders installation directory. Blender will sometimes only find it scripts if blenders user data files reside in blenders installation directory.Do you wish to abort installation and first reinstall blender? I tried reinstalling blender and I get the same thing. Can anyone give me any advice?I do have blender 2.7 and 2.49 installed on my computer could that have anything to do with it? Thanks.

Deleted8058771User Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) When installing Blender you have an option to save user data in certain directories. You need to choose Blender's installation directoy otherwise the nif scripts installation will not work. Edited June 14, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is probably your problem, The current NifScripts only work with Blender 2.49. There is also an installation procedure you must follow to get everything working together. First, download and install Python 2.65 Second, download and install Blender 2.49 Third, download and install PYFFI 2.1.5 Fourth, download and install NifScripts 2.5.5 Fifth and final, download and install NifSkope 1.1.3 Hope this helps.

Zerin99 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Python's website wants me to download 2.6.8 because 6.6 has been replaced with 6.8 security fix only. Will 6.8 still work or should I download 6.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 6.8 still work or should I download 6.6?I have no idea. What I posted previously is what I use. I did not know there was a security fix. The only thing I can say is, try it and see. The worst that could happen is a crash and you would have to uninstall and get the other version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomonkeus Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 2.6.8 should be fine, but you should not worry about it as the scripts do not access anything externally.If you are concerned then feel free to use the update and let us know if there is a problem.

Zerin99 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thanks for the help so far. I got everything downloaded except nifskope. every time I try to download version 1.0.22 my computer tells me Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. I can download later versions just fine. So I'm not sure what my problem is. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neomonkeus Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) That version is really old.I would advise using this version - NifSkope - 1.2a1 Preview Although the link to to one of our developers builds, the code has been merged to the official repo, just that we haven't gotten around to doing an official build yet. Otherwise I suspect that its a UAC problem, but there are several versions inbetween so could be any number of reasons which may have been fixed in between.
