Editing Script for an Existing mod (SOS - Grower Extended SE 2.3 (2018.11.29))

[pop45]

Hello!

 

So I am on a journey to change this line of code:

 

To this:

 

Mod in question: 

 

 

I have been in contact with Holzfrau - who has helped me significantly - but I believe this is a me issue and definitely not Holzfrau's mod's issue.

 

I have gone through the tutorials regarding papyrus scripting, viewed several Youtube videos regarding the setup process to double check my work, and scouring forums for clues as to what I am missing, but here is the basic process....

 

1. Downloaded Creation kit for SE Skyrim

2. Downloaded Notepad++ and installed the PapyrusPlusPlus plugin from NMM

3. Successfully tested the process using existing vanilla scripts and was able to compile a PEX file from source PSC files

4. Changed 2 lines of code in existing mod script "sos_grower_racemenu_alias".

5. Failed to compile.

6. Looked through dependencies to find source files (SKSE, SKYUI, Sexlabframework, Sexlab Aroused SE, XPMSE, RaceMenu, SOS SE, SOS Racemenu Plugin)

7. Using MO2 added in "empty" mods with the source files for mods the don't have it in their main file tree (SKSE, SKYUI, Racemenu, Vanilla zip source files, etc)

8. Using CK through MO2 - Loaded data/plugins required (set SOS - Grower as primary)

9. Loaded everything in (several warnings, answered yes to all)

10. Edited source script and saved it using the CK papyrus editor

11. Failed to Compile - See errors below

CK COMPILER ERRORS.txt

 

Tried to use only notepad++ 

1. opened file "sos_grower_racemenu_alias"

2. set up all the paths for the source scripts

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Scripts\Source
• C:\Users\.\Desktop\PSC from Zip
• C:\Modding\MO2\mods\SOS - Grower - Extended_2.3_SE\scripts\source
• C:\Users\.\Desktop\SKYUI Source
• C:\Users\.\Desktop\PSC from SKSE
• C:\Users\.\Desktop\Scripts from MO

3. Make change to code

4. Saved and started to run compiler

5. Compiler just keeps compiling - it doesn't stop, doesn't throw errors, it will just say compiling (let it run for hours to no avail)

6. So I started removing sources and found that it will actually throw errors and fail to compile, but gets hung up on the Sexlab source when I add it back into the source scripts.

 

I am at a loss as far as my next steps and I am hoping that the knowledgeable people here can help me solve this after I gave it my best shot.

 

Please let me know if this needs to be posted in a different part of the forums and if/when you need more information.
