Allow the engine to load arbitrary NIF files as long as they appear to be valid.

OpenMW has limited and **experimental** support for NIF files
|
|
|
|
|
that Morrowind itself cannot load, which normally goes unused.

|
|
|
If enabled, this setting allows the NIF loader to make use of that functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
You must keep in mind that since the mentioned support is experimental,
|
|
|
|
|
loading unsupported NIF files may fail, and the degree of this failure may vary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In milder cases, OpenMW will reject the file anyway because
|
|
|
|
|
it lacks a definition for a certain record type that the file may use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In more severe cases OpenMW's incomplete understanding of a record type
|
|
|
|
|
can lead to memory corruption, freezes or even crashes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Do not enable** this if you're not so sure that you know what you're doing.

|
To help debug possible issues OpenMW will log its progress in loading
|
|
|
|
|
every file that uses an unsupported NIF version.
