How to compile an .NCS script to be read by the game engine?

[x1996x]

Hello.

So I am searching the net for Toolset tutorial. Sadly bioware website has been lost to time and many tutorials doesn't talk about stuff that I am interested.

I am trying to write a script. I understand that scripts should be placed in the override folder. The issue is that they need to be .NCS files and not .NSS. In other worlds I need to compile them.

Question is how do I do so? I tried to export sys_rewards_h and I get an NSS file which need to be turned into NCS.
Any idea?

The toolset wiki (which has lots of info on scripting for the game) can be found here > Dragon Age Toolset Wiki

sys_rewards_h is an "include" file, meaning it can't be compiled on its own, it must be included in another file via the #include header. The toolset wiki linked by TSM is an excellent place to start; there's also a DAO modding Discord that's fairly active: https://discord.gg/bU3Svxa

Thanks guys!

It took me a few days but I managed to get something to work. Have not properly managed NCS's yet but will be able to do it eventually.
