changing values in an existing mod, .pex files

 

so I'm using a simple mod [it changes $ around, reward stuff]

and i want the reward $ to be larger. I opened the files, all .pex in notepad but i get a bunch of special characters and none of it makes any sense.

 

am i supposed to use a special program to open these files to edit them? I'm thinking yes

 

any one have experience with these script files?

 

thank you

.pex files are compiled scripts, you can not edit these directly. You need to edit the script source files (with either the Creation Kit or in an external editor like Notepad++). It doesn't sound like you have ever done any coding or scripting, so you should go to the Creation Kit Wiki and start going over the tutorials there.

I'm reading some of the wiki tutorials but they really don't help any.

I'd like to find something functional like a tutorial of scripting a simple mod. You know?

Even doing simple things can require a long/complex script. I wrote a tutorial for a lever controlling 3 doors, and another one trying to explain how weapon racks work.

 

Of course, Bethesda's Hello World tutorial is about as simple as you can get. :biggrin:
