Error when exporting .NIF

Coding Python Support
1

I’m trying to edit a .NIF file, and I know nothing at all about blender.

I managed to get it running fine, did a bit of editing, and then exported the file. Now it won’t let me export .NIF’s, only import them. When I try to export or run the export script, it says

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<string>”, line 1605, in gui
TypeError: expected a string, five ints, a string, an int and
optionally another string as arguments

I have no idea what to do. Please help!

I can try to halp you out with the importer, but I am afraid I know very little about the exporter. in any case you’ll have better luck looking for help at http://niftools.sourceforge.net/forum/, as the NIF importer and exporter are pretty specialistic scripts that aren’t distributed with Blender.

This is a coding error. You are calling a function or method with the wrong arguments. It wants a string, five numbers, another string, a number and optionally, another string.

Possible reasons:

  1. you broke it when you changed the argument list
  2. the script was for a different version of the Blender API

Look at the documentation for that method and see what it requires.
