[LE] Compiler completely dead!

[TangerineDog]

It's worse than I thought.

I had failed to compile any script and thought I had just forgotten how to do it.

 

But now I've set and set again the correct paths in the Papyrus Compiler .bat and tried to use the CK's own Papyrus Script Manager to compile a few scripts.

 

Each time, it just says 'failed'.

Clicking on the failed scripts just nets me blank lines where the report should be.

 

I've reinstalled the CK, renewed the Scripts folder, tried running everything in admin mode...

...and no joy.

 

Help? Please?

Is it generating errors or just crashing?

Is it generating errors or just crashing?

It says failed. I can't see any errors anywhere, but I can click ok and try again as many times as I want, so I'm not even sure if that qualifies as a crash...

[SeraphimKensai]

Post a script your trying to compile. I'm at work, but later today I can try and compile it to see if the error reoccurs on my end or if it's a problem exclusive to your machine.

[TangerineDog]

It's exclusive, that much I can tell.

No script (I've tried new ones, those of mine I've compiled before and many that just came with the game) will compile.

[SeraphimKensai]

Perhaps uninstall/reinstall the software your using to compile, or alternatively look line by line through the script (which I'm guessing you already did) to see if you can manually spot an error.

This won't be, from the symptoms, an issue with the actual script.

 

I'm not sure what the problem is. You say you've done a nuke & pave, checked the paths, etc, and it sounds like you've tried compiling directly in the CK and not with a third party tool, so those are the most obvious troubleshooting steps out of the way.

Unfortunately, I agree - I've done the works on checking if it's just user error and turned it off and on again.

 

So basically, I've now tried tweaking stuff to make it work. I mean, what else could go wrong?

Back to square 0.

 

Now let's assume ThisDamnScript.psc is 100% correct (And it is. It just is. I know it is 'cause my favorite mod runs on it and has done so for 300 hours. It is not the fault of the script. And it is just an example here anyway, it doesn't work with all the other scripts either. :( :( :( ).

Entering this into the .bat file and running it should directly compile ThisDamnScript.psc and put it into the scripts folder, right?

 

"D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" "ThisDamnScript.psc" -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source" -o="D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts"

You forgot to tell us what Operating System you are using!

Next steps could be helpful to test what is going wrong with your compiler.

(1) create new folder, just like that, we assume drive D exists as logical HD-drive name.

  D:\Papyrus

(2) copy next files to this folder from "..\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Papyrus Compiler"

  antlr.runtime.dll
  Antlr3.Runtime.dll
  Antlr3.Utility.dll
  PCompiler.dll
  StringTemplate.dll
  PapyrusAssembler.exe
  PapyrusCompiler.exe

(3) create new subfolders, like that

  D:\Papyrus\scripts
  D:\Papyrus\scripts\source
  D:\Papyrus\scripts_compile
  D:\Papyrus\scripts_disassemble

(4) copy all vanilla psc-files to next folder, make sure you have enough space on the logical drive

  D:\Papyrus\scripts\source

Do not forget sources are stored into archive "scripts.rar"!
And make sure the file "TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" is also copied.

(5) create new bat-file, "compile.bat" inside folder "scripts_compile", Attention all sources in the same folder as the bat-file will be compiled!

@echo OFF
SETLOCAL
SET folder=

for %%f in (*.psc) do (
rem echo %%~nf
    ..\PapyrusCompiler.exe %%f -d -op -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="..\scripts\source" -o="%folder%" >output_%%~nf.txt
echo.
REM move output_%%~nf.txt %folder%\output_%%~nf.txt
)

del *.dot
pause

rem d:\papyrus\PapyrusCompiler.exe %1 -d -op -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg"
rem -d  == Debuginfo
rem -op == optimization
rem -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg"
rem -i="d:\Papyrus\scripts\source"
rem -o="d:\Papyrus\scripts_compile"

(6) create new bat-file, "disassemble.bat" inside folder "scripts_disassemble", if you need it

@echo OFF
for /R %%f in (*.pex) do (
rem echo %%~nf
    ..\PapyrusAssembler.exe %%~nf -D
echo.
)
pause

(7) copy to folder "D:\Papyrus\scripts_compile" the psc-file(s) you like to compile "ThisDamnScript.psc"
doubleclick on file "compile.bat", it should make next files if no error

   ThisDamnScript.pex                ; the executable
   ThisDamnScript.pas                ; assembly for handish code optimization, can be removed
   output_ThisDamnScript.txt         ; compiler output, can be removed

(xx) Info about papyrus executable files overlapping:

 

All of the next 72 files exist twice, once for the vanilla Skyrim
(with 1 exception) and the other depends on the DLC you use!

Done it step by step.

 

When I run it in admin mode, it just tells me that C:\WINDOWS\system32\*.dot couldn't be found.

 

When I just double click it, it tells me that D:\Papyrus\scripts_compile\*.dot couldn't be found and generates a blank .txt named output_ThisDamnScript in scripts_compile.
