Sniff

A batch NIF processing tool intended for intelligent S'Lanters

When input and output folders are the same files will be updated in place.

Drag&dropping files, folders or BSA/BA2 archive on Sniff window will run the selected operation on them.

Clicking on "Processed files" label allows to set up processed files extensions per operation.

Window style (dark theme) can be changed from the right click menu.

Source code

[]Update tangents and binormals - recalculate tangents, binormals and optionally normal vectors in shapes using modified Unity's code

[]Update bounds - recalculate bounding sphere (center and radius) in BSTriShape, NiTriShapeData and NiTriStripsData

[]Optimize mesh - triangulation, stripification and various optimizations using MeshOptimizer library

[]Search and replace assets - perform search and replace on assets paths (textures and other referenced files) in meshes

[]Convert to and from JSON - convert .nif and .kf files to text JSON format (for viewing, comparing, editing) and back

[]Universal tweaker - change any value in any block types or in the single block specified by path

[]Universal fixer - fix some common nif issues

[]Apply transformation - apply transformation to shapes and nodes with adjustable exceptions

[]Adjust transformation - adjust transformation of the root node or nodes matched by Name

[]Attach parent NiNode - the same as Attach Parent in NifSkope applied to NiNode or its descendants with defined name

[]Copy geometry blocks - copy geometry data and/or transformation in NiAVObject descendants, BSTriShape, NiTriShape and NiTriStrips blocks between meshes preserving existing links, optionally copy transformation in NiAVObject descendants. Blocks are matched by name. Used to copy updated geometry data back from reexported meshes preserving original nif data structure and settings

[]Vertex color painting - set/adjust/remove vertex colors and/or alpha

[]Group shapes - group children shapes of the root node using the same diffuse texture or FO4 material under newely created parent NiNode named after texture file

[]Merge shapes - merge BSTriShape, NiTriShape and NiTriStrips blocks under NiNodes matched by name. Running Group shapes and then Merge shapes containing ".dds" basically works as precombination

[]Merge properties - merge identical BSShaderTextureSet and NiProperty descendants, remove redundant ones

[]Remove nodes - remove nodes matched by name or type (
