FreshTheFallen Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hey Nexusmods, up front I wanna say that I'm fairly new to modding with the Creation Engine, even more so when it comes to using NifSkope, so if this is a rookie mistake, please forgive me and just don't bring out your pitchforks yet... ;) With that out of the way, I have an issue opening a mesh that came with the game itself, namely "clutter/chopping block/axe01.nif".I already had my fair share of trouble with extracting that mesh from the bsa archives, most extractors didn't work (they said they would also work with SSE) and I ended up using this one: https://github.com/ousnius/BSA-Manager/releases/tag/v0.5 Once I got the nif extracted, I wanted to open it in NifSkope (Version 2.0.0. Pre-Alpha 5) but whenever I try to open it I get the following error messages. "The Nif file could not be read. See Details for more information." -> Details: "failed to load file footer" "Could not update array item" I have no idea what the issue here is, is it NifSkope, the extractor, the nif-file itself?Does anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advanceFreshTheFallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triptherift Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 There is an extractor on Nexus SSE called BAE that extracts the meshes fine. I can open them in Nifskope with no errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracula420 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 i have BAE too. extracting them isn't hard and i dont think it effect nifskope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshTheFallen Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I tried to extract them with BAE, for some reason the SkyrimSE bsa contents won't show up after I selected them, yet the Fallout BA2 files work just fine... Tried redownloading, still the same issue. But it works on my laptop just fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshTheFallen Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 So, I just tried to extract the nif on my other system where BAE works, I still get the same error messages when trying to open this nif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMartyr Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Remember NifSkope 2 alpha 6 has a Built in Extractor with a Filter like FOMM, unfortunately it just for meshes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
