Scripting issues.

[kchez]

Hi there.

 

I'm trying to create a script for a mod I'm working on. All I want to do is create a message box to pop up on activation. However, when I click 'new' and give it a name and discription, I get the following compilation of errors.

Please could you explain what I have done wrong, or what the hell is wrong with my Source folder?

Having just read the 'how to ask for help' thread; my system is (from Speccy):

 

Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i3/i5/i7 6xxx @ 3.40GHz 28 °C
Skylake 14nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B150-HD3P-CF (U3E1) 30 °C
Graphics
Panasonic-TV (1862x1026@50Hz)
2048MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (MSI) 29 °C

I use NMM, many many mods, some from other sites. LOOT and TESVEdit. Everything is clean as a whistle according to those.

It looks like you need to unpack the Scripts.rar archive that's in your Data folder. It contains the scripts that should end up in Data\Scripts\Source.

 

You probably have SKSE installed and it's providing a few of the scripts but not all of them. After you unpack Scripts.rar reinstall SKSE if it overwrites the existing scripts or you won't be able to use any of the SKSE functions.

Awesome; many thanks for getting back to me. I had lost patience and gone for a complete reinstall; mostly because i suddenly couldn't start a new game (it just got stuck on the logo and wouldn't even go to a load screen). I unpacked the scripts.rar and then installed SKSE. It created a seperate scripts folder within the scripts folder and still wouldn't work, so I cut & pasted that scripts folder and merged the two. It seems to work fine now.
