Editing scripts

[Thalassicus]

When I attempted to edit a script, the "edit source" and "open in editor" options are not available. This is a script in Dawnguard. What am I missing?

 

I tried googling phrases like "skyrim edit dlc script" without finding useful results.

I figured out what I needed to do. I had to copy the script from here:

 

Data\scripts\Source\Dawnguard

 

to here:

 

Data\scripts\Source

you can edit the source code just by using something like notepad++

 

but then you'll need to compile the psc file after you finished editing it.
