how do make testing meshes easier?

[tolerance]

is there any other way of testing a nif then having one of the potential problem causing items in in a cell, loading up the game then going to that cell and seeing if it crashes?

 

is there a script or something that could notice what issues in a nif could be causing the crash?

I've never heard of anything like this... but it would be great.

just make a mod, with a quest script, where you write for example (in the quest script)

 

scn aaaCOCtestKK

 

begin gamemode

 

if getgameloaded==1

coc TestKK

endif

 

end

 

its priority will be low - you will have to wait 2-7 seconds without doing anything, you will be transferred to the internal TestKK cell, I tested models of square strawberries and milk bottles there ...

 

((All that I wrote is from memory, nuances are possible))

 

But, obvious problems with meshes (which are not visible in the constructor). can only be with models with animation or with a symmetrical UV (when no highlights are visible on the line of the center of symmetry), otherwise a constructor is enough.

I select half of the uv, scale it's x or y to -100% and move it near as overlapping as possible, getting it close to mirroring,

 

what is this visible highlight on the center of symmetry, could it be added via nifskope?

It's not visible in nifscope.

 

This is a rendering problem in Oblivion with a symmetrical UV scan, in Skyrim, for example, I have not observed this (with the same model)
