When ever I open the SceneViewer it says render creation failed please restart the application. And incase you haven't guessed restarting the app doesn't help. Any one know how to fix this?? I'm trying to use NifSkope but I was hoping to not have to learn another app. And nifskope can't seem to view effects or do much else for that matter :rolleyes:.

You probably use an ATI card. Other who have ATI card (like me) can't use the nifviewer, but don't worry, Nifskope do the same thing and even more.

Thanks I'll play around with it. However, could you tell me how to add effects such as flames, I can't figured that out with either program. I'm trying to get the destroyed city ruins to emit smoke and flames but I'm not really sure what to do.

If you want to add object to an other object in Nifskope you have to open 2 window (and it's important to open nifskope and after click on File/New Window) and copy branch on your first window(ex:flamme effect) to your second window (ex:city ruins) and then you have to add your effect to the bone you want via the children menu (Num Children and Children if you want to add something to the bone or only children if you want to replace an existing object already linked to this bone) in the block details. You can see a bit here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=183742) how it work.

The NIFscope I downloaded was just text. What's up with that?
