NorthWolf Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm mostly just curious as to what attempts there have been made to create external script compilers for Oblivion/Fallout 3/Fallout NV. I've done some searching but I can't seem to find anything, I'm probably picking derpy search terms. I'm not looking for a working one, really, so much as information about compiling scripts made in the toolset. I have read that attempts have been made, just... not where, or whether or not there's a toolkit offered by Bethesda, or what. Thanks in advance, I realize I'm probably not going to be in much luck here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well, fnvedit decompiles when it displays. I don't know if it compiles. The author of fnvedit is willing to share the source code if you request it, but it is written in a custom variant of the Pascal language, so it may not help you. That is the only attempt I am aware of. The syntax validator written by cipscis is just a validator, not a compiler, so that will not help you. But here is the link: http://cipscis.com/fallout/utilities/validator.aspx I would love to have a text-based tool that allowed entering conversation trees. I have used the conversation editor in geck for this, but it would be so much easier to create this in text files. At least it would be for me, since I have a text editor programming background.

NorthWolf Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks for the information! I really appreciate it. I'm probing the possibility right now of trying to design my own external compiler using a different grammar to cut down ambiguity and add functionality (adding While and For loops would be nice, etc.). I'll check the designer(s) of the TES/FO3/FNVEdit tools to see what they have to say. I admittedly don't have previous experience writing compilers but it's a simple language and I figured this would be a great way to learn it while also contributing to a hobby I enjoy.

NorthWolf Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) You may want to check this out too: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36370I'd give you kudos as well but it seems I already have. Thank you, though! Edited July 20, 2011 by NorthWolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
