.NIF Files

Yes, me again

I've been trying to make a Wonder Movie now, and I think I've succeeded, anyway, in the art defines XML file, there is a Nif section for all the buildings. I've been wondering, how do you make a .NIF file, and what are you supposed to put in it?

NIF files are graphic 3D Models used for the unit. The NIF format is used by the Gamebryo Graphics engine and in several games that use that engine.

Civ4 uses version 20.0.0.0 format NIF and as current there is no converter or plugin to create them. We are hoping that one is released with the SDK whenever that is.

Morrowind used NIF version 4.0.0.0 (current plugin support)
Pirates used NIF version 10.0.0.0 (Can be achived by Hex editing a version 4 NIF I believe)

There is a yahoo community that is currently working on cracking this version of NIF and hope they get it soon... or fraxis releases a plugin whichever comes first

Ah Okay. I was just wondering, because I noticed that the Lost Wonders mod used .nif files.
