[LE] Can't Create New Scripts

[drail15951]

I am trying to create a new quest script so I type the name of the quest as _PGQMaintenance and in Extends I type "Quest". Then When I click "OK" I get the following errors:

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...

I tried reinstalling sse the ck and skse but nothing is working. I am running the ck through MO. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Try not running through MO.

It's bed time now but I'll try it in the morning and let you know. Thanks.

When running the creation kit on it's own I still get the same results. The code in the psc looks like this:

ScriptName _PGQMaintenanceScript extends Quest

and that's it. But I still get a million cryptic errors.

 

 

Edit: I also get the same results by using the powershell with this command:

.\papyruscompiler _PGQmaintenancescript -i="..\Data\Source\Scripts" -o="..\Data\Scripts"

In your Skyrim/Data directory, there should be a file labeled "Scripts.rar" try unzipping the contents of it and stuffing it into the Skyrim/Data/Scripts folder: let it make one if you don't already have it.

 

It contains a lot of necessary information that allows the CK to understand and run Papyrus, and there's a common bug where the CK can't actually read or run scripts while everything is in the .rar file, and therefore compiling a script will only result in a ton of errors.

Thank you so much! That solved my problem. I'm off and running again!
