[LE] Blender won't export to .nif file

[Deleted49792561User]

I wanted to do some mesh editing for some objects in Skyrim, I think I set up the .nif plugin for Blender 2.79 correctly, and it imports the file just fine, but when I try to export it please help, I'm beginning to get very frustrated. Below is the error message that pops up after exporting is attempted.

To do that you need the import/export scripts from the Niftools site.

This may help ... https://github.com/niftools/blender_nif_plugin/releases/tag/blender-2.5.9

Last I heard the current version of NifTools doesnt work well with 2.79 and later â unless thats just with SSE. I asked a similar question recently somewhere and was told that I would need to use an older version of Blender, probably 2.5.9. You can download from this link â https://download.blender.org/release/

But if you do that, I think it will overwrite your current installation.

The current niftools plugin will work up to ver 2.78, its iffy on 2.79 but should work.

 

Errors can crop up for any number of reasons, there's a lot of info that needs to be filled in, materials and textures need to be applied, uv mapping, etc. Read thru this exporting tutorial, you may have missed something.
