IgnacyOrder Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Does Script extender fixes some scripts like quests what did work in older versions and dont work in newer ones? Or it adds some mroe options or makes mods less conflicting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cipscis Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Neither of those. The script extender allows modders to access extra functionality that wasn't there before. It's probably most useful for making extra native Papyrus functions available, allowing scripters to do things that wouldn't otherwise be possible.

bben46 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 A script extender is an add on to the game engine functions provided in the SDK (construction kit) The new functions allow a mod maker to add new things to the game that were not included and would be impossible without the new functions. For a user - all you need is to have the script extender installed and running when you start the game each time. Then you get to use the stuff added by the modder who used the script extender. :thumbsup: If you try to use a mod that was made using the script extender when it is not installed, when the game tries to use the script extender functions in that mod it will probably crash - often before the game gets past the first loading screen. Always start the game using the script extender and not the 'launcher' provided with the game - the script extender will then start the game after it has loaded. Most Mod managers provide a launcher that includes the script extender for that game (NMM, Wrye Bash, OBMM and others) Typically, every time the game is updated with a new version, the script extender must also be updated before it can work with the new version - this may take a couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cipscis Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If a mod tries to use one of SKSE's Papyrus functions without SKSE loaded it won't crash the game. Instead, the function will just do nothing and return a relevant falsy value (0, 0.0, "", False, or None). Cipscis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
