How to preview nif file on the ubuntu.

Recently, skyrim-mod is very excited. I explain how to view the texture and mesh on the Ubuntu/Linux. The textures are .dds file and mesh are .nif file. These files are in a data/ folder and .bsa file(compressed)

1. Install NifScape
    Download *.rpm file from http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope
    Convert *.rpm to *.deb and install it.
      see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-an-rpm-package-on-ubuntu-linux/
2 Extract vanila bsa and mod bsa.
     There are a lot of bsa tools. Use this tool with wine for example.
3 Run NifScape.
3 Set texture path  from Render>Setting... menu.
     see http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope/Setting_the_Texture_Search_Path
4 Load .nif file and convert it to .dae.
5 Import .dae with Blender 3D. The texture-uv will be imported. But, you must set *.dds of texture file manually. (Note:* _n.dds is normal, _m means emit.)

e.g. Oblivion's mesh.
Blender 2.68a and Ubuntu 13.04

6 Now, let's create the mod on the Linux. Enjoy!
