ObsidianAge Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi there, I'm new to modding, and although I've made some things which look cool in Blender, I'm having a little problem exporting to the next step. I've downloaded PyFFI and the Blender NIF Scripts extension, and it works correctly; Blender has a drop-down option for .nif in the export list. However, after selecting this, I do not have the option to export as a Fallout 3 file. I have Civilization IV, Oblivion and Warcraft, along with many others, so my only explanation is that my software is out of date. The software I have is: Blender 2.49bBlender NIF Scripts 2.5.5PyFFI 2.1.5 Do I need to update one of those, or is there some option in Blender that I have missed? Cheers,Obsidian Age.

neomonkeus Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You probably just need to re-install the scripts again as this happened to me on a total re-install I did recently. I had to re-install three times before they appeared. Alternatively you can manually install the scripts in the scripts/io folder if the auto install doesnt work but dont quote me on that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianAge Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks for the reply, but unfortuantely this did not seem to fix my problem. :( I installed all of the files several times, using multiple combinations of .zip and .exe installers, and am still having the same problem. I checked the .py files for import_nif.py and export_nif.py, and both have references to a 'Fallout 3', but it is not showing on Blender... Also, I don't seem to have a scripts/io folder, so I don't know if this is a problem or not... WIll it make a huge difference if I export as Oblivion 'format', and then load the files into Fallout 3? Also, I can't seem to export .nif files to ANY format. I can choose the filename and loaction, but on the next screen where you choose the game format, I cannot progress. I try clicking Enter on the background section, and nothing seems to happen. Am I doing this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomonkeus Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Fallout nifs and Oblivion nifs are not compatible due to different versions of the game engine. You will get an error when trying to use them. Maybe try using a different version of the nifscript. Im still using 2.5.3. It seems a little unusual that you can get the oblivion export option and not the fallout one. When you click on the game type the section above should have various export options, for animations, skeleton, object type and shaders. If you are not getting it then you still have a problem. Also make sure you are using the right version of python as older versions of python would probably generate errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianAge Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 PROBLEM FIXED! :D The cause of the problem... turned out to be shear stupidity. I didn't realise there was an 'Expand' option that was clickable. This not only revealed an 'OK' button that successfully saved my .nif files, but also changed the layout of the game exports, including several other options, one of which was Fallout 3! :P Thanks for the help anyway, and look forward to some new mods by me soon :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
