ryanfss Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I've got a dumb question? When I create an archive for a mod, do I need to pack in the psc script files as well as the pex files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlahBlahDEEBlahBlah Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Only the pex are necessary. The psc files can be helpful to new (and old) modders as examples (of what to do...or what not to do in some of my cases, heh) to help them along, however, so I usually try to remember to pack them just because.

scrivener07 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Only the pex are necessary, but you get extra cool points for making your source code available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greslin Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Agreed with the above. PEX necessary, PSC preferred. And it's not just about learning from each other (though that's a really big part of it). With the Papyrus scripting system, resolving mod conflicts is no longer just a matter of swiping across columns in xEdit.. often I find I have to go digging through a mod's scripts to figure out what exactly is going wrong. I'd much rather have the code as you wrote it (hopefully with comments!) than have to decompile the PEX. Yeah, that gets me the code, but the results aren't always perfect.

caleb68 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I usually don't include the Psc, its just extra bloat for the file for the players. If needed I usually provide the scripts to the modders who ask for them. Alternately you could stick the PEX files in a second zip and upload them to optional files with a label "Script source for modders" or something to the like so they know what it is. Personally I believe that if it isn't needed in the main file for players to play the mod - leave it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
