My mod continues to spam with papyrus errors and I can't find them.

The Papyrus.log contains many entries like this:

I've only written a few. Why is there a link to "g: \ _ F4"? Some of the game files had been there for a long time, and this folder was linked by a symbolic link. I could put the "_" symbol only to temporarily exclude it. I reinstalled the game completely including NMM. Now only my mod (one .esp file), CK and FO4Edit are installed. But my plugin file that I've been doing for a long time keeps referencing there. The installation is now clean, no other mods or esle. I cannot track this through either FO4Edit or CK. I made my mod 99% of the time in the CK, so asking here.

 

For example, I didn't change RelayTowerQuestScript at all :sleep:

Those Papyrus errors you are seeing look to be from vanilla / base scripts written by Bethesda and thus you can ignore them.

The log spam/flood by all the various scripts can be terrible.

I try to avoid it in my scripts, by explicitly testing for none, etc.

 

Having a text editor with filtering capabilities is extremely helpful in debugging.

g:\_F4\ this path to one of the folders that I had before (over symbolic link) But this path no longer exists. I have not edited the scripts. At least it shouldn't be in this .esp. This only happens when my plugin is active. I am concerned that this may cause performance drops while playing.

 

Somewhere in my esp there is a reference to this path. But I searched in different ways and even removed with FO4Edit some of the things that I thought were responsible for this.

The source path is embedded in compiled script PEX files.

 

That would suggest you either have some recompiled base game & dlc scripts loose in \Fallout4\Data\Scripts or packed into BA2 archives that are being used.

And if you're going to do that you might need Champollion

Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch mod tries to get rid of a lot of those errors (by replacing buggy scripts like birdspawnerscript) so I suggest you give it a try - it will reduce your log noise...

 

If you do already have it installed then as SKK suggests, you have a mod that has incorrectly included the base scripts in their ba2 so undoing what UFO4P fixed.

I call that the curse of the critterscript. It does that for Skyrim too lol, and both Unofficial patches for the games aimed to fix that.

[PJMail]

I find the curse of the "enable state parent" much more annoying - and imposible to fix (as there is no script test for it)...
