Need some help exporting a mesh in Blender

Hey guys. I have some limited experience with Blender and have had some success earlier in modding some weapon models and changing bits and pieces to suit my style. I was using an older version of Blender at the time, but found a newer one. I've been enjoying using it and the streamlined tools. But now I've run into this problem trying to export my edited mesh. Not looking ahead I got rid of the old one and don't even remember the version I had, so now I'm asking if you guys could help me out. Here's the error.

Any suggestions?

As far as I know you HAVE to export your work in blender 2.49. While you can do the actual work on the mesh in another version of blender it needs to be exported from 2.49.

 

This page contains instructions on exactly what you need to set up blender 2.49 to import/export nif files. The order of installation is important.

Somewhere on the nexus (might be under the FO3 section instead of NV, I don't remember, it's been a very long time since I've installed it) there's a package that contains Blender 2.49 plus all of the nif tools, all in versions that play nice together and work. It comes with installation instructions.

 

Off the top of my head, if you don't have the nif tools properly installed or python isn't installed properly or for some reason isn't recognized, the nif import and export options won't work.

I've had the issue before as well. As the textbox implies you'll need reinstall blender. When installing blender it'll say: Please specify where you wish to install Blender's user data files.

 

Select the second option.
