Re: dino and aliens msh files

has anyone some idea, what they mean the next values? i do not know how to read next values in which file; .msh or .anm? I had a look at teleport_base.msh ; it contains 210 faces (triangles).

Re: Animation researching

Is there a way, you could give us some hints on how to find some animation-data in files? I'm not asking for a complete tutorial, a few notes were enough (better than nothing). There is no 'easy way'. What is your background? Do you know the basics (matrices, keyframes etc.?) This is an excerpt fro...

Re: Divinity 2, Ego Draconis, modding tutorial

new results to come: it is possible to insert objects into the game. First approach was to move a bed, a table. The collision shapes did rest on their old position. I was too lazy to investigate on this and focussed on chests: http://www10.pic-upload.de/thumb/16.05.12/4sjuh6nidqge.jpg The next step ...

Re: Divinity 2, Ego Draconis, modding tutorial - models

models For extracting the models you can use Nifscope 1.0.22 or blender with Niftools. I started using NifScope on buildings and exported them as (wavefront) obj.
