LE RaceMenu Overlay Script Refusing to Compile

[Deleted6973877User]

Okay so I'm about half bald from ripping my hair out. I've made fifty hojillion overlay mods with literally zero problems, but today I guess I'm paying my dues. I'd like to say I'm no stranger to scripts. I'm far from what anyone would call good, mind, but I know enough to figure things out and normally I can figure out what's making the compiler unhappy. But I just...I dunno. Maybe I had a stroke and didn't know it. Anyway.

 

So I've attempted making this mod using vwr RaceMenu Mod Maker, I've attempted making it by hand, I've attempted using an old script as a template, I've attempted writing a new script from scratch. Every. Single. Time. CK throws an unholy fit and won't compile it. I've even thrown a known working source file at it and it refuses with the same errors. So I'm pretty much convinced it's not the script's fault.

 

The errors in question are honestly too numerous to name, and due to the size and shape of the error reporting window, a screenshot is nigh useless. But, the general gist of it is it seems like it wants to also compile all the vanilla source files? Or that it thinks my script is calling all these source files? I'm not entirely sure. Here's an example:

 

...\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\MagicEffect.psc(57,20): unknown type projectile

 

What?

 

So, the first thing I did was make sure the necessary RaceMenu scripts were unpacked (as well as their source files). They were. Then, as I remembered having to do this once before, I manually re-installed SKSE via the 7z file. And of course I double-, triple-, and quadruple-checked my script and the quest. Everything ought to work, and I just don't know.

 

I'd probably be okay if there was something to indicate what *I* could do, but I don't know what to do with a compiler that's apparently just screeching about unrelated files. I guess next I can just try reinstalling CK?

 

Anyway thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help!

Ensure that all necessary scripts (including stock/DLC) are present in your source folder. Your description, to me, sounds like missing source files.

Well I had done a long time ago when I first started scripting, and then everything from scripts.rar when that missing flg file issue cropped up. All the source files it's griping about are indeed present in the folder, but I can always re-extract everything.

 

I'm sure I'm explaining this in perfectly the wrong way, but if it's a missing source file issue, wouldn't the errors indicate as such? Like, it'd give me an error saying that the file it wants doesn't exist, right? What it seems like it's telling me is that, in not so many words, "Hey, here's a source file! But hell if I know what it is or does lol!" All my script does is call a command from RaceMenuBase.pex. It doesn't require Actor.psc, Book.psc, EquipSlot.psc, or any other of the hundreds of psc files it's squawking about.

 

And sorry, I'm not brushing aside your suggestion at all; it's just late and I'm rattling. But yes, first chance I get tomorrow I'll re-extract everything and see what happens. Thank you, I wouldn't have thought of it, and it'll probably work. :P

Hooray! So, I extracted everything again and no dice.

 

But on a whim, I reinstalled SKSE again since I'm an idiot and didn't notice that the source files it was griping about were SKSE ones, and this time it decided that was okay. Why it decided that this time it had what it wanted but not the first time I reinstalled it shall forever be a mystery. So, issue resolved. Confusingly, confusingly, resolved. Thank you IsharaMeradin for your help!
