iClustaFlux Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Annnd im back, if you're still alive? The rules should apply to any .nif files (until NifTools are updated) so yes you will need to for pretty much anything you want to wok with.

Hotemochick1992 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 So i remove the shaders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomonkeus Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 What you need to do is remove any Skyrim specific information so that you can import it as if it was a different version. People usually change this to be F03 or F:NV version numbers. The first things you need to do is alter the header block, this is where the version information is stored. Userversion -> 11 userversion 2 -> 34 The next thing is remove Skyrim specific blocks, i.e lighting shaders as you said above. Depending on what you are importing then you might need to do additional step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I'm still getting an error trying to import it.

EDIT: I am getting a Unknown Block Error : InvMarker Or some such like that.I have awoken from my slumber, and shall endeavour to assist you once more, if its still required? If so, i suggest seeing if this workflow can get you started on editing your sword: http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/tutorials/article/93-3d-craftworks-importing-weapons-into-skyrim/ It only requires you to work with the .obj format which should cause no trouble with importing/exporting in blender - it doesn't even require you to create a tweaked .nif ..I'll try and find some info on the error you are getting with the .nif format. Could you please post the exact error message(s) you get so i can refine my search criteria? Edited March 18, 2013 by iClustaFlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I already got it figured out. So as a side note for any noobs to blender/nifskope. When removing shader, be sure and also remove the collision node, blood node, and BSInvMarker. After all of the proper changes (in conjunction with the changes to the userversion's) It should properly import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're finally able to get to work in blender now? If you are, you may find my workflow post useful, as it shows you some tricks and workarounds if you wanted to do your modelling/texturing in newer versions of Blender rather than being constricted to the ugly 2.49 UI - http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/944160-blender-249b-26x-workflow-what-you-can-do/ Happy modding! :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes it got it in. (thinks about that for a second) Anyways I was wondering if it was possible to work on it in Gmax, I find it more comfortable to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iClustaFlux Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think you can, but it's not something i've looked into at all, as i've never used it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotemochick1992 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 I just find it easier to manipulate the model. I've never used Blender before so I don't know how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
