wrong nif structure or values

Good afternoon,

 

as a beginner in 3d stuff I like to ask, if a .nif file with idiotic structure and/or values might cause game or pc problems?

 

My ides is, that the structure might be acceptet by the game, but might have weird and unexpected effects...

 

I benifited a lot from the very nice and hard work done by the community and I want to share aswell some ideas and work, but I really don't want to spread corrupted files.

 

a fair day

Uhm... Not quite sure I get you?

A bad nif will crash the game. There is not middleground with nifs. Either it works, or it doesn't. It got no affect outside of the game itself.

 

What makes you think it got weird and unexpected effects? Unless you pack a .bat file into the nif, there really isn't anything unexpected things a nif can do. Anybody ever working with nifs have had the pleasure of going half-insane of stuff not working. I doubt there is an error I have yet to see!

Thank you very much for the reply. This is a 100% answer to my question.

 

Screwing around with nifskope gave my PC a hard time with lots of system freezes, not to mention my nervous breakdowns.

Tthat is why i was afraid to spread "funny" files to others.

 

Maybe I am a bit paranoid. One time - another game , 15 years ago and just a script (.bat ) - I blew up the power adaptor from my PC. I thought it might be a good idea to get 400 FPS to balance my disadvantage of having a bad rig lol...

 

And your last sentence calms me a lot.

 

Thanks again

Ah. Yeah, avoid bat files! They are scripts editing your system, and are often the sources of viruses! I would only run a .bat if I thoroughly knew the person who made it and his/her intentions!

 

So, yeah. You can't break a pc with nifs, but you can crash games! Often because some settings are wrong (nifskope got no error messages outside of nodes linked wrong. So you never know WHY it crashes. If it does, just start over again :p)
