Papyrus ScriptCompiler.bat Error

[Rhaskos]

Every time I run ScriptCompiler.bat, I get this annoying error:

Here's my ScriptCompiler.bat code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" %1 -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source;C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\MyScripts" -o="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts"
Pause

There's a file called "TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source" folder. It was already there, so I assume it's supposed to be there. This is what's in it:

/*
    Format is as follows (whitespace is completely ignored, index must be between 0 and 31 inclusive):
        Flag <name> <index>        // flag is allowed on all types
    or:
        Flag <name> <index> { <list of script, property, variable, or function> }    // flag is allowed only on the specified types
*/

// List of flags for TESV - DO NOT EDIT

// Flag hides the script or property from the game editor
Flag Hidden 0
{
    Script
    Property
}

// Flag on an object designates it as the script the condition system will look at
// Flag on a variable allows the script variable to be examined by the condition system
Flag Conditional 1
{
    Script
    Variable
}

If it helps at all:

 

Skyrim's Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim

Script Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts

Source Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source

 

 

Why am I getting this error, and how can I fix it?

 

Thanks in advance :smile:

You aren't actually compiling a file.

 

I just set my Notepad++ up to compile scripts for me. This is the output in the CMD window

 

 

Z:\Apps\Notepad++>"C:\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Papyrus compiler\PapyrusComp

Press any key to continue . . .

Note the file highlighted in pink. Yours does not have a file and so the compiler is trying to compile the flag setting. You do not run the ScriptCompile.bat file directly. You tie it in with Notepad++ or Sublime Text.

 

I suppose you could run the ScriptCompile.bat directly, if you replaced the %1 with your script file every single time. That would be tedious for sure.

Thats was IsharaMeradin said above:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" example.psc -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source" -o="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\Scripts"

pause

but you can also using the CK for compiling without dealing with bat files or CMD windows.

I would rather open a bat file then open the CK every time I wanted to compile a script.
