AwfulArchdemon Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I've been looking around forever, and am baffled to find nobody asked this question before. My Nif Scripts installer likes to link me to Blender's dl page. Blender ver 2.6.7.0 PyFFI ver 2.2.2 Python ver 3.2.5 Do I need to revert to an earlier Python? I gotta wonder why the hell the Nif Scripts Installer would link me to Blender's dl page...so annoying! Been tryin' for weeks to get this stupid Blender to read Nif scripts!
gregathit Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Ok, moving thread to Skyrim Section. You'll be more likely to get a correct answer there. I haven't dabbled much with blender and Skyrim so I can't help you.
Zquad1 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Here is some good info on Installing Blender & the .Nif Plugin---> http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Installing_Blender. I hope this Helps ya out!!

I hope this Helps ya out!! I have to wonder if this is outdated...Python 2.6.5? That's a lot of versions ago...do I truly have to go so far into the past?
Zquad1 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 You know I am not really sure on that, I have the newest version of Blender, Python & Blender .nif script & some how I can't seem to marry any of them together, although when I installed the older version of blender, Python & .Nif script everything worked great. I am sure there is a trick to getting the newest version of Blender to work with Skyrim but it's just out of my grasp, perhaps some of the Pro modders here could chime in on this one because I too would rather use the newest version of Blender.

Right? You'd think newer=better, not...obsolete! You might have had the right info, though. If the newest versions can all be used, I'm sure someone here will know how to do it. If not, old as hell it is! I'm waiting for another reply before I go unistalling everything and getting ancient versions, though.
kingkong Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 if you want to port a meshe to blender you need to have blender 2.49 with nifscripts but there is a way with blender 2.59 notice that you have to install on 32 bit not 64 (skyrim not suported ) look here http://www.loverslab.com/topic/18775-blender-nif-scripts-newb-question/?do=findComment&comment=435144 or here http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/817016-blender-nif-scripts-259-released/

kingkong Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 there is a way with blender 2.66 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3790 only with 32 not on 64.
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 there is a way with blender 2.66 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3790 only with 32 not on 64. That guy already has nif scripts in his Blender. The vid doesn't say how get nif scripts. I need that Gamebryo option to appear in my import menu.
kingkong Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 if you have read the description of this link it gives you all the needed links to download all the tools and it explain you how to.
Zquad1 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 @KingKong I just want to thank you so much For Helping us on this, I still haven't figured it out yet personally, I think I have missed something in the installation process somewhere. I'll figure it out when I can devote more time to research this odd phenomenon.
Kha Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I have never got it working on newer versions of Blender... however you can import the mesh you want to work with in Blender 2.49, save it, open in Blender 2.67 to sculpt, remodel, retexture when you are done you open/append the mesh in Blender 2.49, add the skeleton/copy bone weights, if needed, and export the nif.
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks Kha. I might just do that. Maybe. Looks like it's true though. Without the older versions of everything, there's no getting it to work. Which means I've marked Zquad1's post as the "best answer". The versions are listed there, and they are just what you need. Sorry if it seemed like I didn't believe you Zquad1, but I just couldn't wrap my head around having to use really old versions of stuff to start an armor mod, but that's how it is. Boggles the mind.
BruceWayne Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 In case you don't want to install all the extra libraries, there is a portable version of blender 2.49 with all needed plugins here: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/42755/? Just download, extract and you're good to go. Not 100% sure, if there are newer better ways to import Skyrim .nifs than in FO3 format. If there are, just disregard this.

No, the Nexus seems to throw a fit again. Just went there and it loaded fine. Blender is open-source so no problem with permissions. Just wait a couple of minutes and try again. If you keep having trouble, shout out and I'll upload it here.
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 Tried again from 6 different servers. Same shit! The last time I tried, it gave me this old error: ErrorThe site has run in to a problem, please look at the error message below... Download downSorry, it seems like this file server is struggling with this file at the moment. Please try downloading the file from another file server. Note: if this is happening on all the file servers there could be a problem! Head to the forums and let us know! Sorry for the inconvenience! I was hoping I'd never see that again. I'm fed up with Nexus. If it's not 1 thing, it's another. F*** YOU NEXUS!!
AwfulArchdemon Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Here you go: X-Blender_2.49b_rev8.rar Oh thank f***ing god!! BruceWayne, you are that dude! How the heck did you get your hands on this??? All I've been doing with my life for the past 6 weeks is fixing my car, and trying to get Blender to read nifs! I can make my mod now! Woohoo! BruceWayne for president!! Don't worry Bruce, I'll never reveal your secret identity to anyone!
