:ffvstr:I having been playing :ffvstr: for a while. But i am now trying to install the cooler HEX meshes that are out. But i have no idea how to install the hundreds of amazing hex meshes that i are out. Everytime i open up the game or even NIf viewer and select a hex mesh file (such as Grenadier's super cool Taskmaster) the window closes. Whats up?
I have read too many conflicting readme files as well as looked all over the forum,frworld.wikispaces.com, and Alexff for simple straight forward info but i am lost.
Help please
Is there a program that i can use to automatically make the hex meshes useable.
Again i stress, i would really appreciate a simple response ( i have NO experience modding, i just play the games)
use the nif converter on them first.
Most meshes for :ff: will work for :ffvstr:
Like Jakew said before, get the EzNifConverter at Alex's Freedom Fortress (http://www.alexff.com/goodies.php) and convert all the meshes that aren't working.
You should really use Character Tool 2 so you can see which meshes/hexes need to be converted. It's faster than lauching the game to be surprised. You can get Character Tool 2 under Mod Tools (http://"http://www.freedomfans.com/ffvttr/downloads.php"). (Don't let the name scare you, it's not so hard to use.)
Wow you folks are all amazing, accurate and prompt.
Your information solved 90% of my mesh issue. I so cant wait to play with them.
But i have noticed that i still have a few meshes that even after being run through EZnif do not work such as "Kid_quantum2_t by tommyboy (a very cool mesh), and others.
Again the mesh doesn't open up on Character edit (thanks for that advice) or nif viewer.
I am not sure what is going on there?
Another pattern i notice is that sometimes the nif viewer will give me the error message:
"Error loading Nif file. NIF File: NiClod: cannot find create function"
Any ideas what to do there.
