Why cant i open skyrim nif files

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 9:20 pm

when ever i try opening a .nif it just gives me error messages. Inst nifscope supposed to open Skyrims models?

""failed to load file header (version 14020007, 20.2.0.7)""
"failed to load nif from 'C:/Users/Name/Desktop/meshes/dungeons/caves/ice/pillars/caveirpillar06.nif'"

You need to search for an updated nif.xml file.

Because NifSkope hasn't been updated yet to open the new nif files.

No, a .nif is not a .nif. File formats are developed, and tools need to be updated to accommodate those developments.
