Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know anything about the distantlod\*.lod files and meshes\landscape\lod\*.nif and how they are used in Oblivion?

I am working on it ;) As far as the OpenMW code is concerned, whatever I've done must be considered not much more than just a test framework. Most of my focus has been on the various libraries so far, be it ESM/ESP, FaceGen or NIF. So I don't really think there will be overlap with what you're doing...

That will require a lot of support to explain what is going on - I think it might be even more effort than just finishing things off myself. In any case the things that are slowing me down are the same things nobody has figured out yet (e.g. how to properly support FaceGen). Also, I've pushed the co...

Could you share NIF and FacePose content with OpenMW developers? That (i.e. sharing) is the plan. It's just that the code in its current state is not something that can be pushed to github. I'm not trying to be secretive - in fact I think I offered more than once to help anyone who wants any info o...

Sorry about the late reply - I've had some life-changing events happen over the past few months and haven't been able to focus on anything. I simply copied the implementation in nifskope (well, slightly modified to work within OpenMW, e.g. we don't use Qt objects in our low level stuff). It seemed t...

If you read the interview with Capostrophic (you did, right?), you should already know that he has been working on extending the NetImmerse (NIF) file format support to work with the models from other Gamebryo games: games like Oblivion, Fallout 3/New Vegas, Skyrim but also Civilization IV for exam...

Thank you ponyrider0, great info - I don't have much time right now but I'll try what you've found asap

I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning and realized that TES4 came out in 2006 - so any texture application must have been done using shaders. So I found this work by Alenett to decompile the shaders which explains quite a few things but at the same time throws more questions. Any...

Recently I got a bit of spare time to tackle facegen again. I'm currently stuck with the texture handling and I would like some help from people with texture knowledge. The following texture data apply to Uriel Septim: NPC specific texture: textures/faces/oblivion.esm/00023f2e_0.dds (256x256, 9 mipm...

Ok, I misunderstood your question. Your NPC_ record header and its actual size does not match? Is it possible for me to have a look at this file?
