copy emitter from nif to nif

[neunen]

hi guys and gals, i posted for help about this on the bethesda and nif forums, but no one seems to be biting,

and i thought maybe some kind soul around here might be able to help me :smile:

 

im trying to copy a smoke emitter from the ashtray03smoke.nif and place in the model of a cigarette ive made

(this is to help with GodofAlcohol's cigarette mod)

the emitter is called "superspray01 - emitter" i think, but theres other stuff in there too that seems to relate to the smoke effect

 

for some reason i have a really hard time wrapping my brain around the whole nifskope thing and i was wondering if

maybe someone could hold my hand through the process. all my fumbling so far has resulted in very little progress

 

the tools i have at my disposal are blender and nifskope, and i can use my friends computer with 3ds max on it if necessary

blender doesnt seem to read in the emitter if i import the ashtray.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated, but when it gets to the nifskope stuff you may have to talk to me like a child :P

 

thanks a bunch,

neunen
