Shadowhawk827 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 That's the error message pop-up I'm getting from the CK when trying to create a new script to attach to a quest I have in my mod: The extends script does not exist. Please pick one that does. There are no scripts on the quest currently. I click 'add' and then select 'new script'. Fill in the script name and leave in that it extends quest (which it would. I hit 'OK' and that's the message I get. Why the hell am I getting an error pop-up instead of a new blank script window to write my script?
Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Be sure the Quest.psc file (provided by SKSE) is in the source folder for scripts. Just my 2 cents.

The .pex file is in the main scripts folder but no psc in the source folder. Guess I'll try re-installing SKSE EDIT: Re-installed SKSE 1.7.2 and it didn't install anything into the source folder. :\
Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Usually to be sure I got the source files when I install SKSE I will install it with the standard installer. But then I get also the zip version, un-compress it, and move the source files (the .psc) in the Scripts/Source/ folder.

Yeah, looks like the installer isn't playing nice, so I'll DL the zip version and do it manually too. EDIT: Well that seems to have done it alright. Other than it tried to compile my (blank) new script as soon as it opened and naturally gave me a compile error message, we're now good to go. Thanks CPU.
Shadowhawk827 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 OK, so apparently Skyrim and the CK still hate me... I had to take a break after that last post (real life stuff to do). I come back and I find that I'd actually cured one problem only to be faced with another... NOW I can start to create a new script, but after I hit OK, it tries to compile, fails and doesn't allow me to edit the text box at all. If I close it out and try again, the Ck will tell me the script already exists, BUT it won't show in the CK scripts list. It's in the source folder though. Just once I'd like to have a day where the CK actually works right. Here's the actual Error Message I'm getting: Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...Compiling "DawnSentryEssentialToggleQuestScript"...<unknown>(0,0): Unable to find flags file: TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flgC:\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\Quest.psc(1,0): Unknown user flag HiddenNo output generated for DawnSentryEssentialToggleQuestScript, compilation failed.

Slammer64 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Ok, I see the problem, Shadowhawk. Since they updated the CK recently, folks have had to reinstall it, check your Skyrim Data/ directory for the following file: Scripts.rar, if it's there, unrar (I use 7zip myself) to a temporary directory and then copy the contents to your Skyrim/Data/Scripts directory. You will then have to re-install SKSE as well.
Shadowhawk827 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 OK, I found the fix, FINALLY. The scripts.rar file needed to be extracted. Oddly enough I remembered that from my former install, but when I checked the Data folder after setting up my current install of the game, the scripts.rar wasn't there at that point (a later DL maybe?). Because of that, I figured that Bethesda had done something to change dumping all the scripts in a rar file, and kind of forgot about it till now. Here was a related thread: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/45058-unable-to-find-flags-file-tesv-papyrus-flagsflg/ Ok, I see the problem, Shadowhawk.

I only found the thread I linked to by luck and could have been hunting for ages without your reply if I hadn't stumbled onto that thread.
