[CKit] Problems generating SEQ File with scene dialogue

[donotbugme]

Here we go again, I'm testing some scene stuff in the ckit in a fresh mod. Im not having ANY dialogue in my scene. Basically what I understand this to be a problem with not having a SEQ file. so fine I type in the cmd line

 

creationkit.exe -GenerateSEQ:SGS.esp

 

Where SGS.esp is the esp of my new mod.

 

I get the following output from the CKIT

 

MASTERFILE: Could not get file pointer for sgs.esp , aborting automated process.

 

I've never seen this error before. googling it only brings me to a random Nexusmods page for animal followers that does not have any relevance to what im trying to do.

 

Any tips on what I should try next?

 

Is the SEQ file not the issue here?

Two points: generate the SEQ file with TES5Edit.

Open the esp, right click on it, Other->Create SEQ file.

 

Second: be sure your quest is started. (No idea how your quest should start.)

this is exactly how i do it too. always works first try for me.

Turns out launching the same command through steam as a launch option works fine. go figure. I'll need to redownload Tes5Edit, its supposed to be a really handy tool and would make things less painful for things like this.

 

Thanks!

TES5Edit is a mandatory tool when you are creating mods.

 

Good luck with your mod development.

If you are doing it through the command line you have to navigate to the folder the CK is in first.
