At the moment OpenMW's NIF loader is only tailored to load models
|
||||
that can also load in Morrowind.
|
||||
Allow the engine to load arbitrary NIF files as long as they appear to be valid.
|
||||
|
||||
However, you can enable its limited and experimental support for updates in
|
||||
the definitions of record types from later NIF revisions by toggling on
|
||||
this setting.
|
||||
OpenMW has limited and **experimental** support for NIF files
|
||||
that Morrowind itself cannot load, which normally goes unused.
|
||||
|
||||
You must keep in mind that 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,
|
||||
crashes or even freezes. Don't enable this if you're not sure that
|
||||
you know what you're doing.
|
||||
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.
