Modifying script

[Jaege]

Is it possible to modify a script from another mod?

 

I am trying to slightly alter the parameters of someone elses mod, for my own game. Specificaly I am working with b3w4rb's "Usable Toilet". Great realism mod by the way. I highly recommend it.

 

Anyway, I want to remove the negative for not bathing, which is an effect done via script. I was just going to delete that bit of script, from the beginning of the "if" to "endif" statement. From what I can see that should not cause the script not to compile. unfortunately when I do that it won't save. So I tried to just lower the minus to 0, still wouldnt save. Just as a test I tried minor alterations to other scripts. No go. So I have to assume that something specific has to be done in order to alter an existing script. Something I am not doing.

 

Of course, I could just be a lunkhead and have no idea what I am doing.

I suspect that the scripts were written with NVSE, and you're using the standard GECK to try and edit them; that would cause the compiler to get bitchy.

 

First, get this: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/41642

 

That will re-enable error messages, so if a script doesn't compile, it will tell you why. Then use the NVSE-enabled GECK by launching nvse_loader.exe with the -editor switch; make sure the plugin for GECK PU is where it ought to be, though, so you get the full benefit of the PU.

LOL Xaranth you beat me to it XD

 

Yeah it's probably a NVSE script and yeah what Xaranth said, if you mess up a script it won't save but won't give you a message eithe so get that fix.

 

Just had to put my 2 cents in, didn't come all this way for nothing.... (one click XDXDXDXD)

I understood some of what you said. I am not sure what the "-editor switch" is. Nor how to make sure Geck PU is where I want it to be. Where do I want it to be?

[Xaranth]

nvse_plugin_geckpu-nv-14.dll needs to be in %NVPath%\Data\nvse\plugins\

 

Then you need to create a shortcut that targets nvse_loader.exe with the -editor switch appended, thus:

Oh, I got you. Geck pu = geck power up, the program you directed me to. I will try that. Thanks.

I do not see a "geck pu nvse" file to get the properties for. How do I get to that properties page?

 

 

 

Edit: scratch that I figured it out. Thanks for all the help.
