NaomeShade Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hello. I need some of Morrowind BSA meshes for a small mod project, so I use Fallout Mod Manager to extract them. They extract themselves perfectly fine. But then I open a nif using NifScope - and I see that the file is completely empty. All Morrowind BSA nif files are empty, they have no NiNodes, nothing in the block list. I find this strange and I would like to know how to open the nif files to actually see the files with a potencial power to edit them and put them into the game. Thank you.

hollaajith Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Look for the size of those nif files. They should be several KBs. If not then they were not extracted properly.You can get bsa manager for morrowind from morrowind modding history. I can't link write now from mobile. Search for morrowind modding history via google and then search for the manager there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaomeShade Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thank you for the answer!So...There is no "manager" in the modding history, so I used BSA Browser 1.0 that I've found there - the result is the sameI've found exacly "BSA manager" for Morrowind in another sourse - sameI don't even know how many "BSA something" I've tried - everytime it's the same.The files size (to be precise, hair meshes for dunmers - but no matter what nif files I extract...) vary between 5 and 16 KB - seems fine.So what could that be if all the programms work in the same way?

Are there any special doo-dads which had to be installed / configured for NIFSkope to support Fallout? Try disabling / changing those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaomeShade Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Oh my... Could I possible imagine that I should not click on an extracted nif but instead load it from the nifscope itself? It works this way. I thank you for all your attention, there is no longer any question to answer. The solution was too simple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchos Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I find that happens occasionally with other programs depending on the OS. For instance, in my case, using Vista, I can open NIFs by double-clicking on them, and they load in NIFskope without trouble. In a different case, using an art program, which I have installed on two different computers, one being this Vista one and the other being a Windows 7 machine, I can double-click on a file to open it in its associated art program, but double-clicking the same kind of file on the Windows 7 machine will only open the program, but with a default empty file like you're describing with NIFskope.

I recommend to stop using the old BSAReg since it didn't work for some BSA based mods and TR-Sacred East 1.5/1.6 is one of them, instead use the BSA Registration Utility and it has a few useful features.
