**Create Character NIF** is a Python script which takes [body part](https://tes3cs.pages.dev/objects/object-types/body-part) meshes and any equipment as its inputs, and outputs these into a single combined `NIF`.
35+
36+
Originally designed to work with [[blender|Blender]], this functionality was broken from Blender version 4.2.[^1] However, the `character.py` script can still be used independently of Blender through the [es3 library](https://github.com/Greatness7/io_scene_mw/tree/master/lib). As this library is part of the **io_scene_mw** Github repository, the `es3` folder must be extracted and placed within the same directory as `character.py`; furthermore, it requires installing NumPy (`pip install numpy`).[^2]

**TES Bookmaker** is a simple text editor for creating Morrowind books, capable of converting plain text into Morrowind's bespoke HTML format and featuring a <abbr title="graphical user interface">GUI</abbr> with buttons for text-formatting.
3435

35-
## Translation
36+
The original tool developed by Дарин (Darin) is in Russian, but an English language version by MassiveJuice is available.
3637

37-
Although the UI is in Russian, it is fully capable of rendering English and other languages, and its simple UI does not require knowledge of the language.
38+
## Usage
3839

39-
Below are English translations of the four UI elements which are in Russian:
40+
The editor works by applying Morrowind-specific HTML markup to plain text.
4041

41-
1. **Название** = "Name"
42-
2. **Моя книга** = "My Book"
43-
3. **Автор** = "Author"
44-
4. **Джон Доу** = "John Doe"
42+
Plain text can be entered in the left-hand panel and, by pressing the green arrow, gets formatted with HTML in the right-hand panel. Further editing can be done in the right-hand panel by manually typing, or by using the UI buttons. These include:
4543

46-
The remaining UI buttons are symbols which do not require translation.
44+
- **New Line**: adds HTML `<BR>{:html}` tag to indicate a new line
45+
- **Center Text**: adds HTML `<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">{:html}`.
46+
- **Left-Align Text**: adds HTML `<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">{:html}`
47+
- **Insert Image**: Pop-up to specify an image's source, width and height.
48+
- **A**: Pop-up to specify font name, size and color.
4749

48-
## Usage
50+
Once finished, the marked-up text is ready to be entered into a [book object](https://tes3cs.pages.dev/objects/object-types/book) in the Construction Set.
