actually, writing your own nif viewer would be the best way.
I searched high and low of a nif viewer, but could not find one. So, fyck took it upon himself to write one of his own. Right now it takes a fair amount of time just to render a simple object, but as soon as we are done with the inital framework for the server, he will be finishing that piece and will add it to the InsideDAoC app.
btw guys, it is good to see some forum action here regarding CoX, but we do have a forum of our own for this kind of talk:
