PapyrusUtil LE/SE/AE

elxdark · August 31, 2015

sexlab is overwriting the scrips from papyrusUtil, do I need to put papyrus avobe sexlab or keep sexlab higher?

I'm using sexlab version 159c and papyrus 3.0.

Switch to SL 1.6 and then it's not important anymore, as SL 1.6 provides PapyrusUtil 3.

If you want to stay with SL 1.59, then I would recommend to let PapyrusUtil 3 overwrite anything, as it being more up-to-date than the one provided by SL 1.59

Ok I got it, thanks

Whacked · September 1, 2015

I've been having a crash on load problem every once in awhile after installing 3.0. I'm still using SL 1.59.

I make multiple saves per play session, and can play for long periods without any issue or crashes. There is no indication there is a problem, and when reloading the game and the last save I made, I get CTD. Sometimes it's not just the last save I made, a few of the sequential saves I made.

The hdtSkyrimMemPatch.log shows storageutil.dll as the cause, and I never saw this with 2.8. I've attached a file with the htdSkyrimMemPatch log and dump, plus my papyrus.log.

Main log I'd need to is papyrusutil's, which you can find in the main Skyrim folder named "PapyrusUtilDev.log"

I guess that should have been self evident

Here is all the logs and the dump again.

It's happening during package override loading, as the last line is:

PKGO Load

This is an issue specifically fixed in 3.0, are you 100% positive you're running the newest version? Even if you are, install it again and make sure it's not at a lower priority than sexlab 1.59c if you're using mod organizer.

And if you don't mind sticking around and helping hash this problem out asap, it would be much appreciated as I was planning in a hour or two to release a SexLab update along with updating PapyrusUtil to 3.1, would prefer to fix this issue if it's still actually present in 3.0 though.

No problem, I'll reinstall 3.0 and report back right away.

Reinstalled and loaded the test save that just crashed (the last set of logs), and it loaded ok. Played through the quest to get the silverblood mercenaries to leave that mine (used SL Solutions) then saved at the exit of the mine. Trying to load that save after restarting the game resulted in a crash, logs attached.

The Storageutil.dll I am using is 827kb, if that is any help.

I might see where the issue would occur now, here's a possibly fixed version: v31_prerelease.zip

Overwrite your install of 3.0 with it and try again. Whether it works or not post your PapyrusUtilDev.log again afterwards, as I set it to print out a little bit more relevant information for debugging purposes.

Tested it a few times and it seems to be loading alright with the one you uploaded.

And your log confirms what I expected. Will go ahead with releasing 3.1 and sexlab update now then. Thanks.

Feature request for JsonUtils:

string[] function GetFileList(string path) global native

Background - for my Bob The Builder engine (persistent user cell edits) I store one construction plan per cell in a special sub folder of StorageUtilData.

During startup I collect all construction plan filenames (filename contains cell identifier).

Whenever a user enters a cell I check if there is a construction plan filename - and process the construction plan and remove the filename from the filename list.

Currently I have to store the filename list in an extra file but it is error prone because I have to keep this list and the files in sync.

The returned strings should contain the name that can be used in this way:

JsonUtil.GetStringValue(path + filename[0],"NameOfValue")

**Ashal** · September 2, 2015

a "file list" or a "json list"?

Actually nevermind that, why not both?

*zaira* · September 2, 2015

A list of json filenames without file extension and without prefix path that was given in the function call.

prefix path is always relative to StorageUtilData

string[] planfilenames = JsonUtil.GetFiles("ConstructionPlans")

int i = planfilenames.Length
while i>0
    i -= 1
    string valueFromPlan = JsonUtil.GetStringValue("ConstructionPlans/" + planfilenames[i] , "Key")
endwhile

*zaira* · September 5, 2015

Is the source code of PapyrusUtils available anywhere? I might be able to provide a patch for the GetFiles function...

September 5, 2015

The "GetFiles" function you are proposing looks to me like a search function for the file system.

At this point, if Ashal does it exactly as you describe, then you may get fines from others mods too.

Two options (if Ashal decides to do something for this):

* Use a simple pattern matching technique: string[] result = JsonUtil.GetFiles("ConstructionPlan*")

this should return all the file, including the sub-path, for something that starts with "ConstructionPlan". Only one wildcard acceptable to minimize the complexity of the pattern matching.

* Change the function to "GetFilesInFolder(String folderName)", and then use for sure sub-folderds, of just one level, where you get everything inside.

I looked at SKSE wiki - it seems it is not possible to return arrays (https://github.com/xanderdunn/skaar/wiki/Registering-Functions) - so it must be done with StorageUtil arrays. Too bad - I need this function very much and tried to add it to my own SKSE plugin...

Yes you can return arrays.

VMResultArray<BSFixedString> foo(StaticFunctionTag*){
    VMResultArray<BSFixedString> list;
    list.resize(2, 0);
    list[0] = BSFixedString("hello");
    list[1] = BSFixedString("world");
    return list;
}

OMG thank you! So the wiki is outdated "Although it isn't possible to return an array from an SKSE function that's exported to Papyrus"

Is the source code of PapyrusUtils available anywhere? I might be able to provide a patch for the GetFiles function...

There's an old copy of the source somewhere in this thread for like version 2.6 or something, but nothing recent. No recent version of it posted anywhere, mostly out of laziness but also a bit out of embarassment as this was my first foray into C++ and I'm not exactly proud of a lot of it's code as I've grown to learn it better. I can post the source if there's really enough demand for it. I do plan on rewriting a lot of the older code in it eventually though, and would gladly post the source then.

I plan on adding the functions next release in any case, not that hard to make. I've also recently added these 2 functions, which are pretty different from most of the other functions in PapyrusUtil so far, and some people might find a lot of use in. Only done some light testing with them so far, and will definitely need to more thoroughly test them before releasing:

; // Get a list of all living actors within a distance of given object/actor's current cell, optionally also filter results by a provided keyword.
Actor[] function ScanCellActors(ObjectReference CenterOn, float radius = 5000.0, Keyword HasKeyword = none) global native

; // Get a list of all objects of a given form type within a distance of given object/actors's current cell, optionally also filter results by a provided keyword.
ObjectReference[] function ScanCellObjects(int formType, ObjectReference CenterOn, float radius = 5000.0, Keyword HasKeyword = none) global native

Basically a function to help get a list of relevant actors or objects for processing. Could be used as a simple replacement for cloak effects and such, the downside being you'd lose the threaded nature of doing such stuff in a cloak effect or other such techniques.

The "GetFiles" function you are proposing looks to me like a search function for the file system.

At this point, if Ashal does it exactly as you describe, then you may get fines from others mods too.

Two options (if Ashal decides to do something for this):

* Use a simple pattern matching technique: string[] result = JsonUtil.GetFiles("ConstructionPlan*")

this should return all the file, including the sub-path, for something that starts with "ConstructionPlan". Only one wildcard acceptable to minimize the complexity of the pattern matching.

* Change the function to "GetFilesInFolder(String folderName)", and then use for sure sub-folderds, of just one level, where you get everything inside.

It would take a a folder argument and an optional recursive switch, then JsonUtil version would limit the results to only .json files with the starting directory being the same as other files made using JsonUtil, then I'd also add another version in PapyrusUtil or MiscUtil that returns files by extension, and the starting directory be the root Data folder instead.

Don't see any trouble with it, though I might also restrain it's searching so you can't look outside the Skyrim folder for security purposes.

An actor search with keyword filter is not as useful as a faction filter - for example you can add a NPC per script into a faction but you cannot do this with keywords - for that you need an alias - so you can't assign a keyword to a large group.

For other things like a spectator call I need a combination of keywords and factions (Exclude Guards, Childs, Innkeeper, Bards), Animals). Sometimes I need to include, sometimes I need to exclude things.

I have implemented the Getfiles (thanks to b3lisario) in my MESKSEUtils plugin now - but I would prefer to see it in your utils package - I give you the source code, if you want.

I added also a MoveFile function - because my Bob-The-Builder will move invalid or broken plans into a quarantine to speed up next startup time.

about to make use of ClearFloatListPrefix(String PrefixKey)... but is is there an objected version that i am totally blind to see?

FloatListClearPrefix(Form ObjKey, String PrefixKey)

UnsetFloatValuePrefix(Form ObjKey, String Prefix)

the global "all the things" versions are good and perfect and i already made use of that for "uninstall all the things" - but having it available to be scoped to specific forms would be pretty useful as well. i didn't notice these weren't a thing in any form until i started writing my ResetActor method. if there are no plans for this, i'm going to be looking at about a 50 lines of code to clear out the cosave data for specific forms upon player request.

I looked at SKSE wiki - it seems it is not possible to return arrays (https://github.com/xanderdunn/skaar/wiki/Registering-Functions) - so it must be done with StorageUtil arrays. Too bad - I need this function very much and tried to add it to my own SKSE plugin...
Yes you can return arrays.
VMResultArray<BSFixedString> foo(StaticFunctionTag*){
    VMResultArray<BSFixedString> list;
    list.resize(2, 0);
    list[0] = BSFixedString("hello");
    list[1] = BSFixedString("world");
    return list;
}
OMG thank you! So the wiki is outdated "Although it isn't possible to return an array from an SKSE function that's exported to Papyrus"

It wasn't possible at the time, it's possible now after I decoded what the game does with the "new x[y]" instruction.

There were some odd special cases I had to account for, I tried to maintain the templating schema, it isn't perfect.

The VMResultArray is essentially just an STL vector wrapper, when the implementation of your function is run, the virtual function of the NativeFunction will call your implementation, return a list, then create a VM array and copy your contents over (Packing)

The problem with this implementation is your array is probably going to be copied 3 times. Once to populate it, once to copy it to the parent function from the return value, then again to move the contents into the actual VM type. Though I think the benefit of convenience and maintaining the template specs outweighs the lost instructions from multiple copies, nobody should really be creating arrays large enough for it to be a serious issue.
