I want to batch process nif files, using PyNifly addon, I would like to import a .nif through a script without going through the menu manually.

bpy.ops.import_scene.pynifly() is what I got when enabling developer extras but I get an error when trying to import a file.

Download Blender cube .nif https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xblr15dkie2xkx/Cube.nif?dl=0

Download PyNifly https://github.com/BadDogSkyrim/PyNifly

Script

    import bpy
    bpy.ops.import_scene.pynifly(filepath="E:/Meshes/10mmAmmo.nif")

Console Error

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "\Text", line 2, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.4\3.4\scripts\modules\bpy\ops.py", line 113, in __call__
    ret = _op_call(self.idname_py(), None, kw)
RuntimeError: Error: Import of nif failed, see console window for details

I installed an addon called ActionRecorder and got this information, about the importing process.

Script

bpy.ops.import_scene.pynifly(filepath='', filter_glob='*.nif', files=<bpy_collection[0], IMPORT_SCENE_OT_pynifly.files>, create_bones=True, scale_factor=1.0, rename_bones=True, rename_bones_niftools=False, import_shapes=True, apply_skinning=True)

Error

Error: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)

  • $\begingroup$ I added a log, from running the script at the top of my post, I've never seen this before today. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ self.filename = filename[0] IndexError: list index out of range This means that the file name is the empty string. Are you trying to select multiple files at once perhaps? $\endgroup$

Your script works:

bpy.ops.import_scene.pynifly(filepath="E:/dummydir/dummynif.nif")

You may want to make sure the file referenced actually exists. It gives the same error message if you reference a file that doesn't exist.
