Properties

NIFF Editor can display a property dialog to reference and/or change the flag information settings of each node. To view this dialog, click the right mouse button on a node to display the pop-up menu, then select the Properties command. You can also select a node and then select the Properties command from the File menu.

The properties which can be set differ depending on the node, as outlined below:

Scene node | Set the Scene node name and video interface settings.
Environment node | Set the Environment node name, fog, frame buffer and Z buffer settings.
Camera node | Set the Camera node name, type, and clipping plane settings.
Light node | Set the Light node name and ambient light, and verify the light type settings.
Object node | Set the Object node name, state, type, group, cycle, priority, rendering and billboard settings. When a NIFF 2.0 file is loaded, you can also set render for fog.
LOD node | View all the other object nodes that are linked to the different LOD levels inside an object node, displayed in order of distance. The distances can also be modified here.
Shape node | Set the Shape node name and type. When a NIFF 2.0 file is loaded, you can also specify the use of vertex alphas when fog is used.
Part node | Specify the Part node name.
Material node | Specify the node name, shading, type, primitive color, and user-defined settings. When a NIFF 2.0 file is loaded, you can also specify the ambient color, emission color, diffuse color, type of fog, and primitive color for fog.
Texture nod | Specify the node name, type, and wrapping. When a NIFF 2.0 file is loaded, you can also specify filtering and perspective correction, and check the MipMap level and color palette use status.
Animation node | Specify the Animation node name and loop settings. Check the animation type and frame rate settings.
Chain Root node | Specify the Chain Root node name.
Joint node | Specify the Joint node name and type.
Effect node | Specify the Effector node name.

For the Properties dialogs, clicking the [OK] button after setting the necessary flags results in the settings being reflected in the NIFF file. To disregard the settings, click [Cancel].
