3ds Max Nif Import Script causes CTD

[BenChang]

From this link: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5622/?tab=4&&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D5622%26page%3D1%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D521561&pUp=1

 

Rhis script works perfectly for 3ds max 2015 (64-bit) but causes 3ds max 2010 (64-bit) to CTD on launch. The error stated is as follows:

ParamBlockDesc2 definition error 
--- 
Error in ParamBlockDesc2 definition. 

Default not supported for this type in block "shaderParameters", 
parameter "ParallaxInnerTextureScale", option #1 


Is there some older option that is compatible with 3ds max 2010? Alternatively, how do Skyrim animators work around this?

I'm having the same problem.  Looking round for an earlier niftools plugin.

 

EDIT:  Managed to find a version that doesn't crash Max 2010:

Look for Figments post and follow the link "niftools-max-plugins-3.7.1.fdef17d.exe" (which is the installer)

 

Note that this version is actually for max 2011 but I was able to import and export a nif file without any issues.  Haven't tested it in game yet.
