Compiling .nss Scripts

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

Problem 1: While trying to compile a script in KotOR Tool's Project Manager, I got an error that said it could not find the .ncs version of my file, has anyone had this error and does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

 

Problem 2: When using nwnnsscomp.exe, the cmd prompt says that it compiled the file but the file doesn't show up on my computer, again any help would be appreciated.

If you can post the content of your command prompt, it would be helpful. To do this, first try to compile your script. Then right-click on the title bar of the command prompt window. You should be able to select Edit -> Select All then choose Edit -> Copy. This will copy the entire command prompt window to your clipboard. Press Ctrl+V to paste it into your post.

Does your script contain either a main() or a StartingConditional() function? If not it's an include file and can't be compiled directly.

 

You'll have to compile the scripts that use the include file instead (i.e. the code contains an #include "filename" directive with the name of your script).

I think I'm having a similar issue:

 

[size=2]

C:\Documents and Settings\Mono>nwnnsscomp -c -g 2 C:\Gotochange.nss

Lookup path root set to: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2\

Loaded nwscript.nss via key file lookup

Compiling: Gotochange.nss

Total Execution time = 31 ms

[/size][/Code]

 

But no compiled script shows up.

Can you post the script you are trying to compile?

A workaround is to use the Torlack compiler, and to place a nwscript.nss (fixed if necessary!) from KotOR2 into the same directory.

 

 

The command line would then be

 

nwnnsscomp -v1.00 gotochange.nss

 

 

Spoiler added to help prevent newbie confusion.

 

Honestly, nothing beats this rigorous way of compiling. No batch file. No wildcards. Original compiler. No problems.

It's the one you sent me a while ago:

 

void main()

{

object oGoto=GetObjectByTag ("g0t0");

ChangeObjectAppearance(oGoto, 671 );

AddMultiClass (CLASS_TYPE_COMBATDROID, oGoto );

}

[/Code]

Anyone experiencing a similar problem may wish to try re-extracting their nwscript.nss to whichever folder you needed to put it in. I can't garauntee (sp?) that this will work but I can compile scripts now at least. 'Worth giving a shot.
