how to read other game's nif file?

[RPG3D]

nif file version is 20.6.0.0, nifly check failed in NifFile::Load()

@RPG3D Right now nifly only officially support Bethesda versions of NIF files. There's some preliminary support for versions before that, but nothing complete.

If you want to load 20.6.0.0 NIF files then someone needs to add support for that to the code.

With the version checks adjusted in NifFile::Load, 20.6.0.0 NIFs should load for the most part. However, some important block types like NiMesh and its data streams aren't handled right now.

Not sure what the status of this is, but I wrote code (reverse engineered) from scratch in C# for my project Telarafly ( https://github.com/imathrowback/telarafly/blob/master/Assets/NIF/NiMesh.cs ) to parse 20.6.0.0 NIF files from the MMO, RIFT.

I was recently asked if Telarafly could support some kind of modding functionality, so I looked into this project and BodySlide and Outfit Studio, but noticed the lack of 20.6.0.0 support.

I've started hacking it into my local copy of nifly but my C++ is a bit rusty. If I manage to get something substantial, I'll drop a line.
