Extracting All Scripts Or Their Referenced Formids From An .esp

[Odessa]

I want to extract a list of all the references and forms inside the scripts contained in an .esp or .esm file.

 

Example:

Begin GameMode
 
    SunnyREF.AddItem Vodka 1
 
End

Would extract 'SunnyREF' and 'Vodka'. Just their formIDs, or just getting the full text of the scripts is fine.

 

TES5Dump does not seem to have an option for this.

 

Does anyone know of a way?

believe this is used with fomm. hope it helps, as i am not that good with these things. but i believe the games should be similar enough for this to get you going in the right direction.

 

 

Oblivion - Export all scripts in xml format.pas

 

 

 

 

{
  Export SCPT records to XML file (for Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas)
}
unit UserScript;

var
  sl: TStringList;

function Initialize: integer;
begin
  sl := TStringList.Create;
  sl.Add('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>');
  sl.Add('<scripts>');
  AddMessage('Building scripts list, please wait');
end;

function Process(e: IInterface): integer;
begin
  if Signature(e) <> 'SCPT' then Exit;
  sl.Add(Format('<script formid="%s" edid="%s" plugin="%s"><source><![CDATA[%s]]></source></script>', [
    IntToHex(GetLoadOrderFormID(e), 8),
    GetElementEditValues(e, 'EDID'),
    GetFileName(GetFile(e)),
    GetElementEditValues(e, 'SCTX')
  ]));
end;

function Finalize: integer;
var
  dlgSave: TSaveDialog;
begin
  sl.Add('</scripts>');
  dlgSave := TSaveDialog.Create(nil);
  dlgSave.Options := dlgSave.Options + [ofOverwritePrompt];
  dlgSave.Filter := 'XML files (*.xml)|*.xml';
  dlgSave.InitialDir := DataPath;
  dlgSave.FileName := 'scripts.xml';
  if dlgSave.Execute then begin
    AddMessage('Saving ' + dlgSave.FileName);
    sl.SaveToFile(dlgSave.FileName);
  end;
  dlgSave.Free;
  sl.Free;
end;

end.

update: not for fomm. from this www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37981 for merging plugins with fnvedit.

[Odessa]

Awesome, that does it. Thanks a lot.

[davidporter89]

no problem friend. have fun with all that latin.

[Odessa]

Python will

I'm confused how that plug-in/script removed stuff from a mod for you.

[Odessa]

You run it on the mod via FNVEdit 'Apply Script', and it saves a single .xml file with all of the mod's contained scripts in it.

 

I can then write a little Python program to scan that data and an FNVDump for the mod against my database of known problem forms/refs and immediately know if a mod will have issues for people with a different game localization.

Now you are getting somewhere Odessa, well done! Kudos to you for your continued work on this. I have not received any contact back from some of my Far Eastern Brothers and Sisters to get you a "dump" from their languages. This would be invaluable to me because I run mods and work on mods from all over the globe, I just recently ran into problems with a French Developer and their work not behaving well in an "English" environment.

 

I am also fairly certain Bethesda knew about all of this, yet did nothing.

Kind Regards,

CaryWinton.

I have the full (..or at least sufficiently comprehensive, I think) info from English/Italian comparison. Partial info from a German version suggests the problem formIDs are the same as in the Italian, although I wouldn't be surprised if Asian versions differ from European.

 

I wrote a python program that found the problem IDs in one of my mods, but I haven't gotten around to uploading a general version of it that anyone could easily use. If someone bugs me about that, I might be quicker .
