David Brasher Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 The CK can open and edit scripts, but the way Skyrim is laid out, it is a big maze to find and open a particular script. (Like you might have to hunt down a certain dialog info, quest stage result script, or reference object.) When packaging mods, it can therefore be difficult and time consuming to figure out which scripts to pack and which to leave out. (The autoarchiving function associated with Steam Workshop is inaccurate and can fail to package some of your important scripts.) So it would be handy to be able to open scripts from the directory in Windows Explorer to quickly identify scripts (which often have meaningless preset serial number-like names you cannot change.) So I am wondering what other free downloadable software can open up .pex and .psc files.
fg109 Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I use Notepad++ to edit and compile the .psc (source) files. I don't think there's anything that can open up the .pex (compiled) files. If there's a function that I don't understand how to use and I want to see more examples, I use Windows Grep to search the source files for the function.
David Brasher Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 Thank you. It does open source files well. This will work for me. You are right about it not opening .pex files nicely: úWÀÞ
