I feel like this is a really stupid question because if hours of google, forum and wiki searching mean anything, no one but me has ever had a problem figuring this out. I want to write a script using OBSE commands, but whenever i write them in the TESCS script editor, i get an error that says "command "x" not found" and i can't save the script. I read some people like to use notepad ++ to write scripts, so i downloaded that, but I cant figure out how to get the scripts I write there into the construction set so I can use them. Does anyone know what to do? I must be missing something obvious, since so many mods use OBSE but I can't find an explanation anywhere.

Oh boy... I got NifSkope and now I've opened myself to an entirely new set of headaches, not to mention a real good way to forget my bedtime... and/or eating.

My very first project? Retexturing a bed.

I swiped the bedspread texture of Middle Class Bed 05 (the purple one) from Kal's Custom Beds, and the Mahogany and Mahogany Details textures from Xiamara's Manor Bedset. I decided that I would then add those to JDFan's bunkbeds resource. Lots of clicking later, and in my NifSkope render window all the wood parts look wood-y and the bedspreads look all right, and I saved it with a new object name and then loaded the .nif in the CS... and in the CS render window it was all-over pink.

But... but... It's textured in my NifSkope window, and I followed the online tutorial! What step did I miss?

And what are the texture_n.dds files for? Do I do anything with those?

EDIT: Oh, and while I'm at it, what is the "Material" function for? I get why, when I changed the material of one bedspread to the same one Kal's bed used, the other one changed as well, but why would it also change the bedposts to match? And when I tried to put the bedposts back, it also changed the bedspread. Why? And how do I make it stop?

I got question about the escort package, what exactly does it do when you give an NPC that package? I will post what I am talking about, (posted this in the funniest moments thread)
See I gave Antiontta Marie (The DB member) a new package to go wander in front of the Wawnet Inn with Jeanne Fransoric, Milliona Umbraonox, Eilonwy and some other characters. So in addition I created a new NPC named Destiny right and gave her a package to escort Antionetta to the area, but I might have not realized that the escort package doesn't work that way. So I am in Cheydinhal Mages Guld Basemant and Destiny's just standing there, it's the first of a month which is when those girls go out so Destiny should have been following Antionetta by now, so I resurrected her by console and looked what it says under resurrect and she's supposed to be escorting (I think I can see that because of Toaster's mod).

So suddenly Antionetta comes running into the basemant and then Destiny starts running around as well and the two leave the Mages Guild so I run after them well Destiny actrually because Antoinetta got so far and already arrived, so Destiny and my character Samantha are running down the path from Cheydinhal and all the way to Wawnet Inn, I thought it would end there but suddenly Destiny and Antionetta were running around in a circle and took off, I was laughing as I chased the both of them all the way from Wawnet Inn and back to Cheydinhal's Mages Guild, it was like chase, Destiny was in front and Antionetta ran after her with me towing behind, and Destiny kept making that gesture to follow them like Baurus does in the beginning of the game (Or Glenroy whichever when they are close to the end).

So is that what the esort package does? Like Destiny leads Antionetta back to the Cheydinhal Mages Guild? Would it be just better to set Destiny's AI Package to Follow instead of Escort?

Is there a way to nullify Sun Damage through scripting?

How do I force em' guards to whip out their torches. I've placed them in their respectable inventories, but they seem to put them away the second the cell loads.

Use getIsEquipped and equipItem.

Hmm, won't work in this case since there's already a script on the actor with which I cant mess with. I guess I'll plop some ring of Nighteye in their inventories, for immersion sake. Being effectively blind won't bother their AI with normal combat/patrol behaviour, right?

Is there any way to make something follow the cursor? (e.g. The player moves the cursor upward and the object moves up into the air.)

Two things: Make sure the root folder in the texture path is "textures\" in nifskope, and not the actual full path, particularly if you have your game installed outside of its default install location. Also, make sure the texture paths use backslashes "\" and not slashes "/" - the CS doesn't like slashes, even though nifskope tolerates it.

Changed all the / to \. I have three places it's supposedly looking for textures, the first being simply "textures\", the second being the full path of Oblivion\Data\Textures, and then for the third one I told it to auto-detect the game settings. Still not working. It's textured in my NifSkope but eyeball-vibrating pink in my CS. WHY?????????

the second being the full path of Oblivion\Data\Textures

How do you make custom maps for custom wolrdspaces??? I got my texture and all in but it looks really stretched in the CS.
