ScriptDragon Question

[Lunytic]

So... I broke into SE with OBSE. And SKSE is simple enough. But I'm looking to add ScriptDragon to the mix. But I'm a little unsure of the interconnectiveness.

 

1. I'm assuming SKSE_Loader.exe needs to still be the launcher. Script dragon will load automatically as long as dinput8.dll and ScriptDragon.dll are in \skyrim ?

 

I'm a little confused about the process... From the readme "When game launches it loads dinput8.dll, dinput8.dll loads all *.asi libraries from the game directory, first loaded *.asi plugin loads ScriptDragon engine library ScriptDragon.dll, all other loaded *.asi plugins are using previously loaded ScriptDragon.dll." Does this basically mean that:

 

A) SKSE_Loader will load TESV (or however they interact) which as it starts will load dinput8.dll simply because the .dll is in the install location.

B) Nothing more will be done unless there is an .asi file, if there is, that file will trigger ScriptDragon.dll to load and process all .asi files?

 

2. So using ScriptDragon, if the 2 .dlls are where they need to be, is as easy as dropping an .asi file in the install location?

Bonus question, not Script Dragon related - I also am looking to start using Simple Borderless Window - that has no effect on ScriptDragon, and if the .bat file is created that Deathbot35 posted, that will run SKSE and SBW together without issue? Thanks!

 

For those of you who can't get it to load with the skse_loader.exe, you can make a .bat file with these commands.

 

@Echo Off

Start SBW.exe launcher=skse_loader.exe

Start skse_loader.exe

 

Now by adding the "launcher=skse_loader.exe" it should use that to run the game. But without it, it will load it's normal way. Buy adding it I guess it makes a error but loads the SBW launcher process which will then let skse load itself in.

yes when dinput8.dll are in the main exe folder script dragon auto loads. there is no conflict with skse. I run them both and load the game using skse loader

so answers to questions are..

1.yes

a.yes

b.yes (if you have no asi files there is no point to have it load dinput8.8dll)

2.yes

 

skse runs differently as it hooks into and script dragon just loads

Ah, thank you!
