When I try to edit a script in TES4Edit, I see a lot of strange chars. I'm assuming or . When I try to paste a script from Notepad++, it only inserts the script name and nothing else. Maybe the edit feature was not meant to be used this way. :toughninja:

Script editing is about the only thing TES4Edit can't do. Although you can edit the source, it won't recompile the script as is necessary, so your best bet is to open the file with the construction set and use its script editor.

So I guess right-clicking on a script and selecting 'Edit' invokes an unfinished feature. Oh well, guess I will have to wait until I can get the CS working.
Thanks for your reply.

It's not really an unfinished feature as TES4Edit/FO3Edit was never intended to be a script editor. It just allows one to edit SCPT records' subrecord data like all the rest.

Another option is to use Bash's Export/Import script feature. It exports all scripts in a mod to a series of text files that you can then edit. Then you can import those files back into the mod. However, like TES4Edit, this won't compile the scripts. You'll have to open the CS and go to each changed script and save it again for it to compile and work in game.

It will be easier with shadeMe's CSE once its released since you can just hit Recompile All. He patched it to only compile scripts in the active mod.

Who be doing what now? CSE? Construction Set Enhanced maybe? Please elaborate, this sounds like shadeMe is improving the CS itself.

Yes indeed! His current working name for it is Construction Set Extender. He's made huge improvements to the script editor. Here's the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1082282-discussion-cs-script-editor-wish-list/. He hasn't publicly released it (it requires a customized build of OBSE, but that'll change when the features he needs are added to OBSE proper), but those of us lucky enough to do testing for him are loving it. I can't speak for him, but I've seen him offer to add people to the tester list if you pm him.

Thanks for the WB options. I was unaware. I'm waiting for CSE as well. Maybe I will PM ShadeMe. :celebration:
By the way, Is CBash v0.4.1a public? I'm not asking for it, I just haven't seen any documentation on it.
Nevermind, I just saw the sorceforge page. It's not something I need to know about, other than it will make WB load esm/esp faster.

Yeah, it's public (though the last public release is getting rather dated, the sourceforge page is more up to date...). Here's the discussion http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1078195-wipz-cbash-alpha/, including tesnexus links. It can be used for things besides WB, but admittedly that's what most people will use it for. About the only documentation is the examples in the test suite. :shrug:
