[LE] Viewing Scripts in TES5edit


Recommended Posts

Quick question as someone who hails from New Vegas modding where scripts are visible in xEdit: is this not the case for Skyrim? I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue I think may be script-related but I'm not seeing a Script category in TES5edit, nor can I Ctrl+click on scripts referenced in other records. Is this normal behavior? I've got a gut feeling it is, but any attempts to search for details are drowned out with threads concerning xEdit scripts, not the game's scripts being viewed in xEdit.

Papyrus scripts are external to the plugins. This means that they cannot be viewed when looking at the plugin itself. You can get the script name from the record in question and look it up in your source directory. However, some mods do not supply the PSC files. For those, you'll need to use Champollion to decompile the PEX into a readable and reusable format (though it will have some differences than a normal PSC file). You will need a plain text editor to view the PSC files. Notepad will do but more robust code editors like Sublime Text and Notepad++ are preferred as they can be set up with syntax highlighting and even the ability to compile the PSC files into PEX files.
