Skyrim Script Compilation Question

[Allannaa]

If this isn't the place I should be posting this, I'm sorry, and I have no problem with a moderator moving the thread.

 

Here's the issue.  Not too long ago I had a hard-drive crash which resulted in having to reinstall everything (not just Skyrim.)

 

Since then I've had a weird issue in the CreationKit.

 

I use one -- ONE -- script in my mods.  What it does is make a piece of flint-and-steel activate a nearby linked fire.  It was written for me by someone else.

 

I downloaded all the mods I use, including my own, from the "other site", and then decided to tweak one of my own existing mods.  I didn't actually tweak the ESP, I made a new file entirely.

 

But when I went to compile the script, I got the error listed below.

 

Now, that said -- the script works.  You "Use Flint and Steel" and the fire starts burning as it should.  You "Use Flint and Steel" again, and the fire goes out as it should.

 

But I get the "compile failed" message in the CK, and I flat out don't get why.  As I've stated in a lot of other places, though, I'm a texture artist.  Scripting makes my head a-splode.  So I need to know if this is something I should worry about, or something I should just ignore, or something I should freak out over.

Are you launching the CK through Mod Organizer? Have you installed SKSE?

Are you launching the CK through Mod Organizer? Have you installed SKSE?

 

I don't use mod organiser, or NMM or anything else.  I launch the CK from the Steam > (et cetera) Skyrim folder, because I always have.

 

I do, of course, launch Skyrim from the SKSE shortcut.

 

I have the latest version of SKSE (and everything else on earth) installed.

 

To be fair, this problem *could* have existed before the hard-drive replacement and I just didn't know about it because I hadn't modded since last winter.

[Srende]

It seems that for some reason CK doesn't see the vanilla skyrim scripts, well, part of them. Have you tried verifying your skyrim/ck installation through steam? It'll reset some things as well, so might need to reinstall SKSE for example afterwards.

[Allannaa]

Srende -- I'll try that again... Remind me to reset "Allow multiple masters and Allow multiple Editors" though.... hehe
