Skin Partitions

[BentonGrey]

Howdy guys, I'm trying to fix the ghosting issue with a few meshes, and I found a post by Tommyboy that mentioned how new versions of Nifskope can make skin partitions automatically, thus fixing the problem without having to go to a lot of trouble.  However, when I tried, I obviously didn't know what I was doing, as those meshes now crash the game.  Can anyone help me figure this out?

Yeah, don't fool around with Tommyboy's method. Get a copy of python Win and I can send you a script Tazpn made to re-do the partitions.

Okay YL, send it my way, and I'll give it a try.

Ba-bump.

Hey, can anyone point me to where I can find this scripted way to fix the ghosting issue?

Comprehensive list of tutorials: repeating mesh fix

Thanks Prev.  I had looked at that list, but I missed that entry!

Hmm....I can't get this to work.  I open Python, but it will only open in, like a DOS window.  Then I open the skin partition file, but it opens and closes in the blink of an eye.  I have Python 2.6  Do I need to use 2.5 instead?

You need a program like "Pythonwin" to run the program. You need to be able to open IDLE. I see what my next tutorial on the blog will be.

Hehe.......sorry.   Thanks Prev.  So I just need to track down Pythonwin?

[Previsionary]

Yeah. I already took the tutorial pics as well, so that's a positive that resulted from this question being asked so many times. .

Anyway, python win, which was linked to in the repeating mesh fix thread  . Once you have it, just right click the "ffvt3rskinpartion.py" and click "edit with pythonwin."

Thanks Prev., that's a big help!
