.esp help

[Ausrivo]

Ok i got a hold of some console commands, and i didnt really want to open up the in game console and type them in.

 

Could i add the commands to a txt file then save that file as a .esp file and drop it in the data folder?

Would the skyrim launcher automatically read it and apply the changes in game?

 

If so what commands to i write in the txt doc to enable the commands.

 

Im in real troubble here cause i uploaded a mod and i dont think its actually working.

More specific, please.

Wow, no. ESPs don't work like that. You are looking for a batch file. This is a tutorial for New Vegas, but should work the same: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Gamebryo_console_commands#Batch_Examples

Just to clarify, .esp files are actual game data, but with modified arguments and values (and in some cases new game data, but in the same structure as existing data). When the creation kit comes out, you will be able to achieve whatever it is that you are trying to achieve, very easily. However console commands won't apply here.

 

Until then, the bat method is the simple way out. However you will still have to use the console. Write all of your console commands into a single text file, then name it and save it to your Skyrim directory (NOT the data folder). Pretend you named it foo.txt. While in the game, open the console and type in: bat foo. Thats it, all of your console commands that you saved are run at the same time (in the order you listed them in the .txt file of course).

 

Another option for immediate effect would be to learn the scripting language. I don't know if the Skyrim Sript Extender is out yet, but there does exist an option called Script Dragon. Scripts run through Script Dragon will run when your game starts.
