📋 About This Mod
Description: This tool allow you to auto-check indexes of the NIF blocks: [NiNode], [BSFadeNode] и [NiTriShape] which are used to point to a name of this block. If such index will be out of range of array of names in the Header of the NIF file, you will get CTD in game or Creation Kit. These issues are rare but incredibly hard to find. This tool searchs for this issue and fix it by giving a new name and index to the corrupted block. Also it will add a new name to a [NiTriShape] block if there was no name before (to prevent issues with such NIF file in Creation Kit).
These issues with indexes appears when you copy blocks with Nifskope from one NIF file to another with different quantity of strings in Header.
How to use it: - unpack this tools to any folder - copy to "\in" folder all NIF files you wish to check (with subfolders if needed) - run "Run.bat" - fixed files will appear in "\out" folder in appropriate subfolders
