Niflib question

[heavywaters]

I've had a recent computer melt-down and had to do a complete reinstall.

I have all of the necessary Oblivion modding utilities reinstalled and working, with one small hurdle...

 

...I, for the life of me, cannot remember where to place the whopping 3 files that make up Niflib. :unsure:

 

I have done quite a bit of searching but have come up empty-handed.

Any assistance would be most helpful.

Um...

 

Little help

 

Anyone?

There isn't a readme or something?

 

http://niftools.sourceforge.net/doc/niflib/

 

I've never heard of this program in a year of playing and modding this game.

Niflib is a C++ library for loading, modifying, and exporting NIF files. It stores a full representation of the NIF file in memory, allowing for arbitrary re-arrangement of blocks. It also automates several types of data dependencies that exist between various blocks within the file format.

 

Yes there is documentation on the net, but none of it explains where the file should be placed.

The only info I found said "it goes in the python folder". This is a little to vague for my liking, but I extracted it to that folder anyway.

Whether I like this method or not it does seem to have worked.

 

So, problem solved!

From what I gather, you want to combine 3 different nifs into one.

 

In order to do that you would need to copy and paste all the NiTriShape blocks into one nif.

 

Thats the simple explanation, for the actual details for making it work may require a little research.
