(My time for writing scripts is limited but the format looks simple. Should not be too hard to write one for yourself. )

car sample? (< 10 MB, if possible)

Learn how to use tools :

Several flashing effects:
. (I had to uncompress the bcmdl before.)

I would not call it "animated" - the light just changes its intensity.

I have no idea how a material animation should be exported (other than a series of textures for example)
.

So is it solveable in hex2obj then? It sounds like getting the UVs is a little more complicated... The format is to rare than to implement it into hex2obj . (I finally remembered that indexed thingie. (: ) . zm-uvs.png Axe (Tökkentäker uvs look bad but guess sooner or later I'll get the trick. Mayb...

There's no general recipe, you can do a full format analysis, you can search for patterns, or for magic tables (containing counts and/or offsets).

An example for pattern search is to be found here (in case you find a pattern in .mga files)

Thanks for reporting! Start of uvs is the next step in 'seq' mode. (Just toggle the button from 'VB' to 'seq'.) You can handle 'sequential' mode in VB (Vertex block mode), setting FVFsize to 12 (for floats). 'seq' is vary rare but easier to explain. Change this: 'We leave the "seq" button ...

Which script example did you take as a base? Looks more complicated than needed - maybe have a look at this one for example: Your example would work like so: for i in range(0, FCount): #faces.append (bs.readBytes(6).decode('ascii').rstrip('\0')) f1 = bs.readUShort();f2 = bs.readUShort();f3 = bs.read...

So did you find any pattern which I can implement into an hex editor to apply to all NIF files? I searched for 0000 0100 0200 (indices of first face) . or a reason for which some NIF files can be properly loaded by Noesis and some do not, altough they are same version (20.6.0.0)? The competition, y...

The file is way too large to contain just a picture, I think it should contain at least a simple geometry (a sphere for sky and maybe some raw mountains). You're right - there are 401 objects at the end of the . nif file which I didn't notice: . plane_dome.png Is it your own tool or can I find it s...

Panorama.nif seems to contain 1 big picture (panorama, surprise!) only, afaics (maybe composed of smaller ones). Contained 3D data of smaller nif files is simple: . Drinking_Fountain-nif.jpg (Seems there's a competition between game defs to make any nif version files unloadable by "external&qu...

I was asked to create that (above mentioned) loop, well, I really was in the hope , that you could do it for yourself. As from me you only get it quick 'n dirty , as you may know :D (so don't blame me). I've limited it to 5 (out of 21) models from l_bell_d.xbx , because some come out ugly (require n...

I attempted to provide support but came to the conclusion Theo's Noesis script and format specification were incomplete.[...] I found this topic and noticed that you guys probably made the same mistake Theo did, by not reading the mesh table and just reading the buffers straight through. There is a...
