Nif_1 = list(nif_0) # assumes same path as _0.nif Nif_0 = raw_input('File and Path of _0.nif: ')

Until someone finishes Nebby85's work on reversing the console nif format or someone leaks a tool to convert them, we will never have custom armor or anything else that scales (some custom new animals for example)ĭef loop(count,file_offset): # iterate through dataĮ = int((i > 23) & 0x000000ff) - (127 - 15) # exponentįile_offset = input('File Offset to Start of Vertices: ').

Scaling happens on body clothing/armors and arm/hand clothing/armors. Scaling is where a mesh is resized to fit different body sizes.

Consoles will happily use PC meshes but our consoles need some different data to handle scaling.The console version of these are very similar in format but much or all of the data is stored in Big-Endian.You can use the creation kit to import an object created in blender etc to Skyrim's version of Gamebryo's nif file.I know little about them but here is what I do know. each compressed texture is compressed using zlib.like the Xbox360 version, will contain 1, 2, or 3 compressed DDS textures.have a header that looks much like a standard DDS file.Each compressed texture is compressed using Xmem from XNA v4.0.The first 4 bytes of each compressed texture is a UInt32 indicating the size of the uncompressed texture.The last 12 bytes are 3 UInt32s which indicate the sizes of up to 3 compressed textures.completely different from PS3 DDX files.Textures that end with '_n.dds' are called normal maps and these are used by the game to give 'texture' to object (bumps on rocks or crevices in furniture).

PC uses DDS (Direct Draw Surface) textures while consoles use a custom DDX format.

There are others who know quite a bit more than I do about the different types of textures and if anyone wants to chime in, I'll add their input to this list.

If you choose Xmem compression and you have tiny files (seq files for example) Archive.exe will crash with no error.

If you choose Xmem Codec with compression, the files will individually be compressed using the Xmem codec from XNA v4.0.

If you choose to compress an archive it will use zlib compression.Files in the bsa are sorted by its hash so to convert from PC to console would not only require byte-swapping the hash but also reordering the files.PS3 Skyrim requires the Xbox360 option in it's archives.The format for bsa archives for PC or console is identical in every way except half of the filename hash is stored in Big-Endian.The Xbox360 will load and use the PC Skyrim.esm but it loads incredibly slow and constantly pauses in-game.īSA files are archives of files much like zip or rar.Update.esm is identical on all platforms.TES5Edit will open and edit/clean these official DLCs but it complains about the XCGD entries.The official DLC esms are stored in Little-Endian but are still much larger than the PC versions with extra REFR and XCGD fields.I noticed this while using the PC Hearthfire.esm.

If we use any mods that change the ground but don't contain XCGD entries, the changes don't stick.

The console esms also contain many XCGD fields which I'm convinced have to do with the ground.

Skyrim.esm for 360 and PS3 are identical and the data is stored in Big-Endian.

From what I have seen with a hex editor, it looks like it has an extra REFR field for nearly every record.

Skyrim.esm for the 360/PS3 is about 100MB larger than the PC version.

Mod files (plugin files) are collections of records which are divided into fields of data. I was just thinking about the lack of support for console versions of Skyrim files and decided to share some things I have learned.
