Possibly a dumb question but does anyone have a working download link for NifScope ?

 

I've been going round in circles on gihthub trying to find some way to download.

I don't want to download the source code and figure out how to compile it myself

Hello.

 

Thank you for posting the guide, I'll likely use it on "light" mods. However, I'd rather not use it on anything that SSEEdit flags as

"Can be turned into ESL by compacting FormIDs first, then adding ESL flag in TES4 header"

 

I've read in a guide that it's unsafe to compact FormIDs unless you're the very author of the very mod.

I compact form ids for followers all the time. The effects vary from mod to mod and I'm  usually okay as long as there aren't any custom voice files (the voice files become mute after compacting forms.) I think there's a way to regenerate new voice files with creation kit, but I usually just merge those types of followers into a single mod.

Thanks, I'll see if I have companion mods that fall under "no custom voice lines", cause most of those I have dled are.
