Atlantica Online (yet again?)

Hello,

I've seen several posts about importing Atlantica Online .nif files and how to convert the .dds files (done). I'm modding a game where I would need 8 directional isometric .gif files in order to import them (how to turn .nif to .gif can be a problem too, but it is possible to conver the .nif to an isometric 8 directional file seen here (this unit is too small)).

One of the units I would like to import is the beastmaster unit; importing beastmaster1.nif will give me this error. (beastmaster3.nif will give me an error too but the only problem there is "uknown object type etc.")

I'm using Autodesk 3Ds Max 2010 with Niftools Maxplugin 3.7.1, NifSkope, Python 3.0 and Python 2.6.

Other Nif files will be imported correctly (e.g. Ajai).

I also tried importing the .nif into Blender. I installed Python 2.6.6, Blender 2.49B, PyFFi 2.1.11 and Blender Nif Scripts 2.5.9. After that I tested importing beastermaster1, 2 or 3 but I receive this error:

Code: Select all

ValueError: Unknown block type 'NiPoseBinding'.
Today I saw this page so I tried importing the .nif files with 3DS Max 2016 but the same error occured.

If someone has any solution please let me know.

Cheers,

did you try Noesis? (plugin fmt_gamebryo_nif.py)

Hello Shakotay2,

Thanks for your reply. Tried Noesis and there is a start.

Noesis won't load the tiger's .dds files; do you happen to know if there is a way to load those?

I saw there are quite a few export file types I could use; what file type would you recommend? (what is the best type to get isometric 8/16 directional .gif files?)

Cheers,

Hello Okapi,
don't have the tiger - from the ancientgiantf1.nif I know that you can choose the 'Additional texture output' on export to get the embedded textures as dds or png files for example.

edit: well, to be honest, i didn't look at the pic you uploaded. Is this one nif: the tiger plus the girl?
Then it might be that the py plugin didn't "expect" such and needs some tweaking for this "special case".

don't have a clue about those isometric gifs

Took some time, but I'm back, whom could I contact for this tweaking you're mentioning?

Also, bump.
