Compile Error

[CineManiac93]

Hey, I was instructed to post this on here. The script is from Immersive Interactions as you can see below.

[Michael-wigontherun]

I need you to send me the source script and your log with the error sent as text through something like https://pastebin.com.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Yey, I need your script. Mine compiled perfectly fine. With skse and skyUI. If you don't have either one of those the MCM script is unimportant and wont do anything in skyrim. It is an MCM for SkyUI.

[CineManiac93]

Apologies, I deactivated the mod and ran the program again so the log was overwritten. I didn't save it, unfortunately.

I'm not sure if you wanted the script in a pastebin as well.

Its been quarantined which version of Immersive interactions are you using.

[CineManiac93]

1.67

[Michael-wigontherun]

Ensure that you fix any CompactedModData files outputted by ESLify Everything, there was an error with the import. See the top sticky post on the ESLify Everything's Nexus Page. And try again. If that doesn't fix the issue, are you using 3.3.0? And what SKSE and SkyUI version are you using? It compiled fine on SE's SKSE and SkyUI.

I have the mod downloaded so I decided to give it a shot. I got the same error but on a different script (_camp_InstinctsEffects.psc). here's what happened:

The original script has a call to GetFormFromFile(0x0A0AA13), which translates to decimal as 167815699 in the decompiled script, which is the correct number. However, after the compilation failed in ESLifyEverything despite succeeding in PCA (using the non-changed script) I decided to look at the script in the ChangedScripts folder to see if anything was amiss. The number in the CallFormFromFile was 0xa00000813 (42949675027 in decimal), far too large to be an Int32 number.

I also uninstalled and reinstalled all of the required scripts and nothing's different other than ESLifyEverything seems to only take the last 6 digits, ignoring whatever comes before them -- which, if a mod author such as the guy who wrote Immersive Interactions writes the load order slot of the FormID at the time of writing the script ESLify Everything's FormID swapper function seems to mess up. I have no idea why your ESLifyEverything would compile and ours wouldn't though.

I am currently checking to see if anything else could be causing it. Here's the image from below showing the changes to the FormIDs:

[Michael-wigontherun]

0xa00000813 does not matter it can be how ever large it will only keep the last 6 digits

[Morribyte]

Huh, interesting. Well, I don't know then. Le me do some more investigating around the sources.

[Morribyte]

I honestly can't find anything mucked up with our sources. I've doubly-verified everything. So I decided to run it again this time looking directly at how the FormID calls are changed in the scripts with an experiment to see if my hunch about the 0A part of the FormID is correct.

The numbers come directly from the scripts.

For comparison:

(Original Source Script) > (Original Script Decompiled) > ESLifyEverything > (ChangedScript Folder script) > (Decompiled Script from Output Folder)

0A00AA13 > 167,815,699 > a00000813 > 42,949,675,027

Compile failed: _Camp_InstinctsEffects.psc(0,0): error while attempting to read script _Camp_InstinctsEffects: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32. No output generated for _Camp_InstinctsEffects.psc, compilation failed.

Then I ran it again but this time using the base script instead of leaving the 0A at the start, I cut it off so that there were only 6 digits left as you talked about which led to this:

00AA13 > 4,353 > 000813 > 2,067 Compile succeeded

Interestingly, it compiles in PCA and gives me the number for the old script (0A00AA13 > 167,815,699),

Line from ChangedScript:

Line from Output Script decompiled

however when I compiled it using a command line for the default Bethesda compiler, the same error occurred:

So I really think there's something going on here. I have no idea why it'd fail in one case but not the other. It's especially confusing that PCA is outputting the old FormID in Decimal form instead of the new one.

[Michael-wigontherun]

I'm going to try adding a check and remove for the extra hex and we will see. Its possible it is the issue. I don't know what though, mine compiles fine after eslifing Immersive Interactions.

Of course I am using the Papyrus compiler from Bethesda Launcher and not Steam. I haven't updated my game ever, nor let Steam try it.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Can one of you try it with this build and see if the actual issue is fixed and you can compile and decompile with the FormID intact.

That might be it. I think the steam version of the CK is a newer version and that might have done something with the compiler.

I am currently busy but I will give it a shot when I get home -- thanks!

[CineManiac93]

Hey, just ran the new build. Now getting compilation fail on Immersive Interactions "simplyknockmainscript.psc".

Command output https://pastebin.com/QQsniQ76

It's the same Immersive Interactions mod. I just reinstalled it.

If you need anything else please let me know.

I couldn't post the ESLifyEverything log on Pastebin as it exceed the 512 kb limit.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Try running it again it doesn't give any kind of error its just no output generated.

I don't even know where to go from that.

[CineManiac93]

Did you see the last photo? It's the same error but also simplyknockmainscript.

Will be running it again.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Yey I was taking about the "No output generated for simplyknockmainscript.psc, compilation failed."

[CineManiac93]

Same result.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Check to see if you have SkyUI's plugin and BSA loaded. Delete the ChangedScripts folder and then let it decompile everything and let it process all of it.

If that still doesn't work you need to try to compile it using a compiler program from inside your Data folder. That should tell you a lot more about what is wrong.

[CineManiac93]

Will do, thank you for taking your time to help me.

[Morribyte]

I just got home so let me try it and take a look at the output scripts and stuff

[Morribyte]

Same error. Looks like it didn't pull off any of the digits necessary.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Show me

[Morribyte]

The log showing the changes in FormID so it's a bit more clear what's happening hopefully:

According to the compacted mod files they are writing the correct compacted FormIDs, just for some reason it's not properly trimming the numbers on the left and in some cases it seems to actually be adding digits for whatever reason.

I DID forget to correct the typo from the existing compacted mod data for my old folder of ESLify Everything which is the one I overwrote with the new build on accident lol so I just did that and am re-running it.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Did you update?

[Morribyte]

Oh, you know what it is, I think it's only trimming right-to-left up to the first zero then adding the 6 digits.

You see with the first formID, it goes 0xa042525, then it trims off the 42525, leaving 0xa0, then added on the 000824 -- 0xa042525 > 0xa0000824

You can see the same thing here with the other one: 0xa00aa13, trimmed to the first 0 is 0xa00, then add on the 6 digits is 0xa00000824.

[Morribyte]

Did you update?

I did, but I'll overwrite it again just in case I messed it up.

[Michael-wigontherun]

Its not the one that says latest, its a prerelease, it wont show up on the side bar you have to open releases then select the one with prerelease on it

or use this link https://github.com/Michael-wigontherun/ESLifyEverything/releases/tag/V3.3.1

[Morribyte]

Yeah, looks like I must've downloaded the wrong one -- my bad. It did compile this time but I think the formIDs still might be wrong.I don't know if Skyrim needs to have the preceeding numbers though, so it might be fine.

simplyknockmainscript.psc from changedscripts:

_camp_InstinctsEffect.psc

[Michael-wigontherun]

plug that 00813 into hex to dec it will be the same as if you used 813. and the same with 0824. I don't like loosing characters unless I have to.

[Michael-wigontherun]

I really don't know why his isn't working tho its weird.

[Morribyte]

I really don't know why his isn't working tho its weird.

From his log, looks like he's missing some sources for MCM Recorder. I advice he checks for JContainers / PapyrusUtil / SkyUI (sometimes SkyUI really hates compiling without the SDK sources too, not sure why) / UIExtensions.

[CineManiac93]

I will reinstall those, too

[Michael-wigontherun]

Yey but it should have no effect on simplyknockmainscript.psc as its not a MCM script.

[Morribyte]

Yey but it should have no effect on simplyknockmainscript.psc as its not a MCM script.

Yeah true. I do know that SkyUI is listed on simply knock's requirements, so I'm not sure how it's required. He might need the SDK to get SkyUI to cooperate..

[Michael-wigontherun]

@CineManiac93 make sure you have all of MCM Recorders requirements decompiled and loaded as well

[CineManiac93]

I did fresh installs of MCM Recorder and its requirements. Same result.

Can you provide a log of your ESLifyEverything output and your modlist please?

[CineManiac93]

How would you like the log since it exceeds pastebin's limit?

[Morribyte]

Just the script compilation errors is fine!

Sorry, I wanted the modlist not load order -- if you're using MO2 you can find it in the profile folder under the modlist folder.

Everything looks ok, seems like. Can you verify that you can find .pex that starts with ski_ inside the ExtractedBSAModData\scripts folder?

[Morribyte]

Also, can you see if you can share the whole ESLify Everything log now using the Spectre paste site

[CineManiac93]

Log lol

ski_ in scripts

[Morribyte]

Huh...and there wasn't any log lines that had compile errors? Without those errors it's hard for me to know what's going on. The only thing I can think of would be to download Papyrus Compilation App and try compiling the scripts from the ESLifyEverything\ChangedScripts folder by running the program through Vortex. If it works, just shove them into a folder that's super low in the mod order called "scripts" and then if it doesn't it'll give you some logs that should be helpful.
