Help please! Can not create / edit scripts!

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:32 am

I decided to try my hand at modding New Vegas a little and during this process I needed to edit a script, specifically a Mojave Express Box script. After making my edits, I tried to save. Nope. I could click YES all day long and nothing would happen. So, I decided to try something slightly different. I copied all of the text in the script and created a new script file, with a slightly modified name. I was still unable to save.

No matter what I'm doing, all of the scripts that I want or need to change are seemingly unable to be altered.

Here are a few things that may help reduce the questions:

I am admin of my PC, not sure if a rights issue would affect that.
I am loading the master .esm file, saving a new plugin file and then trying to edit.
I am loading the scripts from Gameplay -> Edit Scripts...

Please, if anyone can solve this problem I would be eternally grateful!

You have a typo or syntax error in your script somewhere, but the NV Geck doesn't give error messages unless you install http://www.mdn.fm/files/217839_cobrz/ScriptError1.zip. I'm going to go ahead and start a thread dedicated to it, it's kind of important.

You're right. I was getting syntax errors without actually knowing.

Thanks!!!

for some reason this fix has stopped working and now the geck no longer fully opens ><
