it´s the best thread where i think my question makes sense, exporting a normal blender model works right, but this weekend i tried to export a figure with armature (tried to fix the red glow on the japanese general).
Importing works, when i export the model it looks good in Nifviewer and Nifskope, the part which should be affected by the nodes of the armature react (when i scale them). But every time i go ingame the figure is completly monsterlike, it´s still animated but looks a bit strange (see pic).
After hours of trying to get it work, even tried to import the standard warlord and export them, every exported model don´t look right, i have no idea what could be the reason. (Tried so far: open model -> change texture -> export | open armature -> import model and link to armature (automatic by import) -> export | import -> merge head and body -> merge vertices -> link head to head bone -> export | same as before -> added SkinPartiton in Nifskope | used several methods to link: nif direkt after export, bone transplant, exchanged mesh in the working nif | some tries resulted in nif which crashed NifViewer right on the start but worked in NifSkope | i didn´t tried to relink the vertices manuel to the armature)
Later i imported an easier model, the M270 and linked them to the MobileSamArmature [imported Armature -> imported model -> linked model to armature (manuel) -> exported) and it worked ingame.
Use Blender 2.45 and BlenderNifScripts 2.2.11, Nif of one of my experiments is also included.
Have i made a mistake? Do i use the wrong NifScripts?
any help would be really appreciated.

Edit: found a solution for the model, but not for the problem itself: imported the warlord armature (i had problems to import the armature of the japanese FX model - when i try to export there was an error message), imported the model, deleted the body, linked new head to the armature, exported the linked head, copied the head in the working nif (made the other unvisible - deleted texture).
Still any ideas what is going wrong exporting the complete model are appreciated.
