First time W3 modder in need of Scripting help

[jackjack86]

Hey all,

 

So, I installed the modkit along with the latest update. I am currently running the latest GOG patch (v1.12) and I keep on getting the same same issue of scriptstudio.exe crashing right after I try making a new mod.

 

My goal is to edit the shop script to add items to the shopkeeper's inventory but alas I can't even get the program to make a new mod in order to start editing the scripts. Tried using various compatabilities/permissions/run as administrator solutions found on redit and other forums to no avail.

 

Maybe I'm just too much of a dufus for this but I do I need to uncook in order to edit script files? I've seldom had to install bundles alongside script mods so this didn't seem pertinent to me but I could be wrong.

 

Any help for this noob would be greatly appreciated.

do I need to uncook in order to edit script files?

No. You can create your mod folder in <Witcher 3 folder>\Mods\modYOURMODNAME\content\scripts\, copy all necessary scripts there (with its relative path) and edit them as you like (with Notepad++ for example).

Cool! Thanks for the reply Kovrik

If you do want to use the scriptstudio, move ScriptStudio.exe from the modkit folder into

 

<Witcher 3 Folder>\bin\x64\

 

That fixed the script studio crashing for me.
