The quest editor allows you add papyrus fragments per quest stage, but I've noticed that it collects the fragments together in a script prefixed with QF_ that you can see on the last tab of the quest editor. I'm having an issue now where individual fragments won't compile because there's something wrong in the QF script (which I haven't touched) even though all the fragments are simple one-liners that are correct. Here's the error message:

Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files...Compiling "QF_QutCollectorsManor_0100A4DD"...c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source\temp\QF_QutCollectorsManor_0100A4DD.psc(80,22): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input '('No output generated for QF_QutCollectorsManor_0100A4DD, compilation failed.Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed.Failed on QF_QutCollectorsManor_0100A4DD

The same error appears when I try to compile each fragment. So something has corrupted it. Is there a way to get it to create a new QF script? Or what should I look for if I need to manually correct it?

Can you post the QF script?

Just for some context. All this worked about an hour ago. But I changed the numbering on some quest stages, but I don't see why that would cause things to bug out.

At the risk of doing a "very bad thing"^tm I deleted manually deleted the fragments after the alias definitions. The script now compiles correctly as expected. I assume that recompiling the fragments individually would write them back onto the script and help me pinpoint the error, but I get the very same error message as above for every little fragment, even the basic SetObjectiveCompleted(10) that OUGHT to compile just fine.

I've also restarted the CK, just in case that would fix it.

EDIT: So, it has indeed reinserted the fragments I took out, so nothing has been lost. But I still get the inexplicable error.

Stupid stupid stupid. There was a space where there should not have been. Sorry for wasting your time, and thanks for looking, anyway.
