Tigrah2k Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I am using Blender 2.49b, Nifskope 1.0.22, and Nif Texture 1.3I export my mesh from Blender, and for whatever reason it won't open in Nif Texture. I only recently got back into modding, so I feel I have forgotten something important. Can anyone help me with the missing steps? If I recall correctly, there's some nodes in the exported meshes that need to be deleted, or changed with Nifskope before they will be compatable with Nif Texture, and TES Construction Set. Am I wrong? I can't find any of the guides I used to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigrah2k Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Something of note, that may matter greatly if I remember it correctly... It seems that Nif Texture had started having issues on me shortly before I stopped modding.... was part of why I stopped. Perhaps I should start there. Would anyone recommend continuing to use Nif Textures, or is there another freeware texture program I could you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigrah2k Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Well, solved "some" of my issues. However, Nif Textures doesn't seem to work, and using Blender/Nifskope to do it doesn't seem to have a great deal of consistent effect. I will be getting a newer PC in the next few months, and will then begin (again) on my mod, using Skyrim as the primary for it. However, for now, I will continue muddling through Morrowind's Construction set, and the seemingly endless array of headaches that go with trying to customize meshes/textures/collision inherent in the old programs.

RubberMan01 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I no longer use niftexture. I've been using Milkshape to slap the textures on my meshes lately and the cool thing is you can export direct as a Nif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigrah2k Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Is Milkshape... free?... or at least reasonably priced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberMan01 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Yeah mate sort of. http://www.milkshape3d.com/ I have ultimate unwrap pro lol and still use Milkshape haha A bit confusing at first but I find it does the job if used just to texture. Never attempted to make anything with it though....looks awful for that. I'll stick to Maya/ Wings (Wings is awesome! and free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigrah2k Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 hmm... facinating.... I'll definately give Milkshape a try for my retex. it's a pain in the backside to keep using blender to do initial, then using Nifskope to set the file path lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
