Marinemania 2 Meshing; Is it possible?

I'm kind of curious about this. MM has been out for a long. Long enough for people to try and find out how mesh with or without the use of .nifs . My question is has anyone actually figured out how to mesh using MM files to change the animal's form? If so, can anyone tell me how? I think this would be great for people to learn how to do, seeing as aquatic animals are very popular.

I haven't found a way to edit bfb file yet.
For the moment, the only animal in MM which
has nif file is the Pacific Walrus.
If you have Wildlife Park 2 you can get the
marine animals from there, because they are
in nif files, but the problem is there is no bf files to
animate them in ZT2. WLP2 use kf file for animation.

Thanks for you help! Unfortunately I do not have WLP2, so I can'tr do that. I wonder why only the Walrus has .nifs though?

It's a test NIF left in the game by BF.

Well if its a test, then hopefully EA will have more MM nifs?

Hum, no I don't think that's a safe assumption. BFBs are the preferred format, as they are more streamlined and smaller, so the walrus NIF being left in is probably an accident. Also, I assume EA will only contain EA stuff, not MM :P

I think I may have come the closest to figuring out how to change MM models. :woot: I found this out by accident by googling to see if anyone had actually figured out how to do it. There is actually a BFB opening program. Its called Ralcgm. Google it; however, I can't find any way to install, *sigh* *umm* another roadblock. If I only I could figure out how to install it. :lol:

I 'm working on it too. I'll let you all know what I find, if I find anything, because my first project is going to be in the river dolphin area.

Mind linking me 2 the site where you can download it? Even if it doesn't install, I can't even find the decent website.
