NVSE Extender

[prideslayer]

Ok, thanks for that. Got another report of it not working with that mod, so off to the workbench it goes.

[Guest luthienanarion]

Does GetModIndex still return a value of 255 when the string passed doesn't match a loaded plugin? That's the only reason I can think of for Jazz's mods in particular to malfunction.

Updated NVSEv4 (not extender) attached to OP

 

- Jaam found and fixed the issue causing problems for the JIP (and possibly other) MCM menus.

 

Problem was a change in the maximum allowable string length, something that likely only affected MCM since those strings can get quite long.

Renamed the download from beta2 to alpha2, so there is no confusion when the official release happens (which will likely be called 'beta 1').

[DoctaSax]

NVSE (non-extender) updated to v4 alpha 7, and uploaded to the OP.

People who downloaded alpha 2 to test should upgrade, there were a couple of bugs in that one that jaam got rid of in the mean time.

User defined functions, string vars, array vars, obse expressions & while/foreach loops are all working as far as I can tell from my tests (which admittedly are limited to what I want to use them for). Very exciting stuff

I've been maintaining a NVSE functions doc updated from the existing FO3 doc to include as much as I know about NVSE. I'm still missing some functions from the last update 3.2 or whatever, because they were never explained.

 

Would it be possible to get descriptions/usage of all the new functions that aren't in the OBSE docs? Desired fields are:

Name:
Alias:
NumParameters:
Parameters
	type: , optional: true/false
ReturnType:
	type:
Condition Function: Yes/No
Version: 4.2
Convention: ByBaseForm/ByReference/ByEither

The V3 ones are - briefly - explained here: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1406662-beta-new-vegas-script-extender-nvse-v2/?do=findComment&comment=21585430

It's not as detailed as you could wish for but it's what there is. You may be able to deduce a few more details from comparing the *.h files in the src/nvse/nvse folder.

Nice doc, btw - bookmarking it now

I think you can also output some documentation from the debug build. I'll try to remember next time I activate it.

I can see that the extender DLL creates co-saves like SKSE (csv files) inside Data\NVSE\Plugins\Extender\Saves directory. Is it (or would it be) possible to use the default save directory (\My Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\Saves) instead?

 

I wouldn't even have known of these saves if I didn't see them in MO's overwrite folder. If they are really required to properly load a save then I'd rather like have them alongside the saved games, for backup purposes. Also, if the default save directory is used instead, MO wouldn't need to add these to the overwrite folder, which is good thing for MO compatibility, I think.

 

 

PS. MO = Mod Organizer

Here is the raw result of the DumpDocs from NVSE debug build. I hope it helps.

@ jaam

All functions from this dumpdocs are working in 4b1? O_o

[jaam]

While looking something to answer your question I just realised the list contained all the currently active plugins.

 

Here is the list for NVSE only.

 

Also the last 14 are "hidden" in the alpha posted above, just a mistake. They should be available in any subsequent release including the official one.

They are now available as part of alpha 8.

@jaam

Thank you good sir. Seems like SetModelPathEX fucntion is one i've dream about for a long time =)

NVSE V4 (non-extender) updated to alpha 8.

Scripters can now pass forms as parameters that didn't exist in Oblivion (eg formlists) in a script compiler override block.

I noticed that the return types on everything aren't listed. Is that possible to get fixed, or will I just need to do them manually?

[jaam]

Except when using an NVSE/OBSE type, the command definition doesn't know or care for the return type so it cannot be extracted from the command definition unfortunatly.

 

[Gribbleshnibit8]

Well dang, that just sucks now doesn't it. Oh well, still better than nothing. I'll post for any ones that I can't figure out myself.

 

I'm working on a little script to clean that up and parse it for me now. You wouldn't happen to know what opcode ranges were used in each version would you? I can figure it out but if you know that'll save me a bit of time.

 

Also, update on the resource, for those interested. http://gribbleshnibit8.beastnode.net/projects/NVSEDocs/index.htm

Read CommandTable.cpp. from inside the src folders.

The functions named AddCommandsVxx

The comments indicate the version where each group of commands were introduced.

 

[Gribbleshnibit8]

That got it, thanks. Still gotta go through and clean up the return types (yay!) and add some extra tags to everything, but it's pretty much done now. Wrote a script to convert the raw doc into my json format (wish I'd done that a while ago >.>)

 

I actually plan on supporting all NVSE plugins too, with optional checkboxes when I figure that bit out. So it'd actually be cool if you could do the dump with the Project Nevada plugin too, so I can get all the data on that one please?

Nice resource guide

 

Now I still gotta figure how to make a hotkey for a weapon to bring down a nuclear strike

Here are PN functions:

[Gribbleshnibit8]

To whom/what do the "ExtendedActorVariable" functions belong?

Oh, you have no idea! I love you guys for this.

[jaam]

That's an unreleased plugin. It has mostly been rendered moot by NX and Functions.

[Guest luthienanarion]

Is there any way that the IsBipedModelPathValid function can be included? I've been trying to write a function to determine whether a file exists or not in a plugin, but EXTRACT_ARGS keeps extracting the string I pass to the function as NULL.
