OBSE commands

[deni6052]

Hey guys I'm new to modding and just started making scripts but when i try to use OBSE functions like EquipItemNS it can't recognize it. I have OBSE installed and i have the extention for CS, anyone know whats this all about?

You mean you have the CSE installed? How are you launching it, if you do not mind the silly question? Are you using the "Launch CSE.bat" that comes with it? For OBSE to work with the editor, the editor might need to be launched with (the contents of Launch CSE.bat):

obse_loader.exe -editor -notimeout

Where the notimeout might not be necessary. But if the CSE already actually works (the script editor should be wildly different-looking if it works), then it is probably not that. Other than that, do you have all the necessary OBSE DLLs and other thingies installed? Also, what is your script like? Maybe it is just something small, like a typo or another sort of small issue in the script itself... ? That might also produce some sort of an error... ? :ermm:

Oh I've been using the old one all the time but now when i run the .bat file it just crashes any idea?

 

Edit: this is the error

 

launching editor

crc = 2F9AC10C

dll = C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\obse_editor_1_2.dll

using new editor injection method

remote memory = 001C0000

old winmain = 0041C500

Edit 2:

Nvm I fixed it thanks for your time :)

It might be worth explaining how you fixed it, in case someone else finds this thread through a Google search or something. :\

In case someone else finds this, I could offer an alternative, if the .bat file crashes.

 

Press Windows+x and open your Command Prompt (adminstrator). Once there, go from the command prompt to Oblivion. You do so first goint to the disk Oblivion is in, just tipying it; for example, type E: if it's on the E: disk. Once there, type cd, wich is the change direction command, and write the folder you''ll go to, for example: cd Program Files (x86). Navigate to the TES Oblivion folder like this. Once in it, tipe simply "obse_loader -editor" without the ". This will open the Construction Set Extended with no problems.

Also, running the batchfile as administrator has exactly the same effect. Setting obse_loader.exe to run as administrator also has the same effect. The batchfile only contains the line to run the Construction Set with OBSE, so the batchfile (Launch CSE.bat) itself cannot crash anything. Opening the batchfile with a text editor show that it only executes obse_loader.exe with two command line parameters:

 

obse_loader.exe -editor -notimeout

of which the "notimeout" one might not necessarily be needed, as described in the documentation. So running the batchfile as administrator does the same thing PkSanTi describes, and setting obse_loader.exe to run as administrator also does the same thing. Setting obse_loader.exe to run as administrator is enough to get the Construction Set Extender to run properly.

 

Just to clear any potential confusion. :thumbsup:

It's curious, since my .bat file crashes when I execute as an administrator directly too. The only way I can get it working is the one I described :/ Perhaps is my pc, it's getting so old the old fellow... :( Thank you for the clearing post, Contrathetix! :)

No problem. And odd - very odd. Could it maybe be corrupt somehow or something? Running the batchfile pops up a command prompt where the commands in the file are executed. The batchfile should just be text. The actual computer should not matter. :huh: At least setting obse_loader.exe to run as administrator should work. But then again, it might also run the game as administrator when not using a Steam version of Oblivion (which is probably not ideal, since a video game should not need to be run as administrator, it makes no sense).

 

So thinking about it again, maybe using the command prompt is not too bad an idea, either, especially for those who do not use the Steam version of the game. If I one day find the time to boot up my Windows desktop, I need to try running the batchfile as administrator to see if it works, I believe it should. :smile:

 

Adding that to my to-do list makes the list look like I actually have to boot up the Windows desktop thing or else I will be drowning in things to to. :facepalm:

 

Edit: Fixed a typo, I cannot type.
