xenaclone Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Over the past couple years was working on a quest with a bunch of dialog. Scripts, fragments, properties, the works. Backed up the .esp plenty of times but had never backed up up my Data > Scripts folder. My drive crashed last summer!! It's done. Had to get a whole new drive, reinstall all my games.. etc, including Skyrim of course. So I had the original .esp ready to go but MY ENTIRE SCRIPTS FOLDER hadn't been backed up since 2022!!! In the CK, the dialog within that .esp is still there ("Wait here, nave!" ... "Are you ready to speak to the jarl?"....) but the corresponding scripts weren't. ;CODE NOT LOADED in every Papyrus box. Papollion (however it's spelled) could do nothing since the original .psc files were GONE. Problem was: I couldn't just remove the ;CODE NOT LOADEDs nor could I remove the 'delinquent' script icons; they'd come right back after I closed the Quest windows & reopened them. ----------------------------------------- SOLUTION: 1). Open TESVEdit. I've got version 4.0. Apparently the newest version is 4.1, but 4.0 works for me. 2). Right-click > Select None. Find the .esp or esm. Single left-click and press OK. 3). After the program loads, expand the .esp or .esm, expand the Quest section. Left-click on one of the quests, so the right window gets filled. 4). In the VMAD section, right-click literally next to VMAD, select Remove. Clear the WARNING message. Repeat step 4 as many times as it takes. I've got 22 quests associated with this one .esp, not all of them contain scripts. But I had to repeat step 4 fourteen times just now, removing VMAD from each quest. Good thing is, the program bolds each quest which gets modified, which means we don't have to guess if they've been changed. 5). Close and save TESVEdit. That allowed me to remove the ;CODE NOT LOADED and any 'delinquent' missing scripts, but I couldn't write new code without errors. SOLUTION # 2: Extract SKSE and overwrite the original SKSE files in the Skyrim folder. Voila. Edited February 11 by xenaclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
