.Nif importing nightmare

[Vulpes95]

I spent all day setting up Blender so it would import .nif files, and I finally got it to work, kinda. The problem? When I go to import my .nif files, they appear, but are is greyed out and can not be imported.

 

Before you ask, I am trying to import a male body mesh (0 weight) that I altered in NifSkope according to the information in this article:

 

Creating an Armour for Skyrim, Part 1

 

In short, I changed the values of "user version" and "user version 2" to 11 and 34, respectively, and deleted the "BSLightingShaderProperty" node.

 

What else do I need to do before Blender will let me import my meshes?

 

Additional information:

 

Blender Version: 2.49b

Python Version: 2.6.6

PyFFI: 2.1.11

Blender .nif Scripts: 2.5.9

The order of installation is also important.

 

The tools should be installed in this order: Python

Blender

PyFFI

Nif Scripts

NifSkope

 

Also, according to the Blender - NifTools download page, "Blender Nif Scripts2.5.9 No official Skyrim support, workarounds available"
