[edit] Information

This is a NIF exporter designed for use with Civilization 4. However, since Civ4 uses Gamebryo as well, it can apparently be used for Oblivion. See the threads above for further information.

[edit] Known Issues

1) Before downloading make sure you have 3DS MAX 7 installed, then download the proper plugins and drop your plugins in the folder normally called "plugins". This version of the plugins is not compatible with 3DS MAX 6.

2) Various claims have been made upon the topics of mods, meshes, and Oblivion, therefore caution is necessary. While the above comment is correct...and while these 3DS MAX plugins seems to be able to export a some form of NIF files, these file may not work with Morrowind.

Try this!: before running Morrowind, create a empty NIF and open its header, the file version is in the header of every NIF 4.x.x.x or earlier. Do not use earlier versions of NIF with Morrowind as this causes serious error...

3) Also, please note that there are several forms of these files as some of the top selling games uses this format:

visit the ex-NDL website for more details. Currently this can be done by simply typing in ndl.com for the URL.

And of course we do not export/import between games.
