Release version 0.9.0

  • Header compound overhaul. Wider version support, correct versioning, decoding of all unknowns.
  • Removal of niflibtype - generators must map this internally.
  • NiPhysX block decoding
  • NiPS* block decoding
  • NiEvaluator (20.5+ KF) decoding
  • NiMesh skinning block decoding
  • Added 30.2.0.3 support to <version>
  • Major documentation changes at block and row level
  • Type narrowing for Ref and Ptr where possible
  • Major structural changes to:
    • NiBSpline* blocks
    • NiControllerSequence
    • NiSourceTexture
    • NiPixelData and NiPersistentSrcTextureRendererData
    • NiMesh/NiGeometry - moved shared data into a compound

New Attributes

  • prefix for enum/bitflags. It is used for prepending to each enum option name where necessary.
  • suffix for add. It is appended to the name of the add where necessary.

Required Parser Changes

  • [ALL PARSERS] For arg attribute, you must support \ to mean compound member accessor. For example Vertex Desc\Vertex Attributes for the compound BSVertexDesc.
  • If using C-style enums that need unique enumerator names, you must combine the prefix and the name on enum/bitflags.
  • If generating class variables in a strongly typed language, you must append the suffix to the variable name. The suffix is provided when multiple <add> use the same name but the type differs per version. They are always exclusive by version but sometimes the type changes.
