[LE] What is the proper way to upload scripts for a mod?

[EPHHall]

When I upload a mod that uses custom scripts, should I place the scripts in the 7z archive in a folder, or can they be "free floating," for lack of a better term? I've tried looking this up, but none of the answers I found seemed very clear. Edited March 4, 2017 by EPHHall

Two options:

#1 Create a BSA manually with the Creation Kit's external BSA packer Archive.exe

 

#2 Include the folder structure along with the script files. Example:

MyMod.esp

Scripts > myModScript.pex

Scripts > Source > myModScript.psc

 

In both cases, pack it all up in the 7z file for distribution.

Awesome, thank you.

Out of curiosity, in your second example, are the scripts put into a "scripts" folder because they need to be, or is it just to keep them organized? Edited March 4, 2017 by EPHHall

Because they need to be. The PSC files can be wherever you want as the game does not use them. You don't even have to supply them with the mod, tho it is nice if you do. The PEX files must be in the Scripts folder because that is where the game looks for them.
