I write this for all who only have a specific language version of 3DSMax. The installer and the manual use the english version. Which is fine. But there is always a enu folder when you install 3Ds Max. Yet if you have a different language version copy the .ini file to your specific language folder. Otherwise the programm reports a missing ini file.
I hope this will spare someone the time in te future.
Does anyone know how to stop it arbitrarily changing the vertex numbers when you export a mesh?
It makes anything involving tri files or weight sliders into an absolute nightmare, things that could be done in less than an hour in 3DS alone instead takes days of experimentation over multiple programs. Not sure why anyone would want the vertex number scrambled anyway, seems like totally detrimental feature.
Is there someone who knows how to properly make a static mesh with collision? I remember I managed to create a working mesh back in 2016 with Max 2009 and adjusting collision in NifSkope, I think but now I can't get it to work. I've managed to export a mesh with the collision, adjust it in NifSkope, load it in CK, but in Skyrim I just walk trough it.
v3.8.0fc works just fine with Max 2009, 2010 and 2016, except with Max 2010 option to export as BSFadeNode doesn't work as it still exports as NiNode. After exporting, you must convert NiNode to BSFadeNode in NifSkope.
So... It has passed quite some time from when i was modding fallout 3/nv meshes, and i was probably using another version of the plugin, becouse now that i'm using the last version of the plugin with 3ds max 2016 when i export any mesh it has some issue with the bones, which i think they become unlinked from the root and they get each one separated with the "nonaccumul" string, of course emptying the animation of the skin modifier as result. I've tried many settings, but in the end the result is always more or less the same. Strange though, with skyrim i have absolutely no problem... Is this some problem of the plugin or am i missing something?
Apparently you have to use Max 2012 if you want to work on Fallout 3/NV meshes, I'm in the same boat as you and have 2016. I haven't had any luck finding a 2012 version of Max.

Edit: Never mind, found it.
