How to use pack:

0. Download Nifskope 2. 0, and install MWSE for Morrowind

1. Extract .rar somewhere, than put meshes, textures, mwse folder in MW data files folder

2. - Put "nif.xml" file in your Nifskope 2. 0 install folder (its needed so Nifskope doesn't crash, and shows data correctly)

3. - 'Livemeshedit script': This is an MWSE script made by Greatness7

with this, you can quickly spawn the NIF you're editing ingame to see how it looks,

and when you save the NIF in Nifskope, the new result will be automatically refreshed ingame as well!

-To use the script, just put the "main.lua" file in Morrowind/Data Files/MWSE/mods/LiveMeshEdit folder.

-Open "main.lua" file with text editor, and in the 2nd row, type the file location of the mesh you want to edit.

Example : if NIF you're editing is "C:\Games\Morrowind\Data Files\Meshes\kurp\meshbank\13_pointgravity.nif"

So in "main.lua"'s 2nd row, you'll only need to type this:  local mesh = "kurp\\meshbank\\13_pointgravity.nif"
