Scriptor not working on new computer

Post by fc14159 »

Hello everybody, I am now using new computer to do my mod developing and Scriptor doesn't work now. Bos files cannot compile anymore. Here is a screenshot of the error bar.

All scripts could be compiled perfectly on my old computer, but none of them work on this new computer. 139 is the last line of the script. I would appreciate any help.

Try pressing Alt-F7 for settings and making sure everything is set.

So that when someone forum searches for this problem, mind telling us what was broken?

I've had this problem before. Sometimes Scriptor randomly deletes my linear and angular constants or all of my settings and then it fails to compile anything.

I've had Scriptor spazz out, making the script look ugly (fortunately the script file itself is unchanged) and deleting all my settings after I did a right-click -> open with -> Scriptor on an unassociated .bos file.

For some inane reason, it worked perfectly after I deleted the file association and let Scriptor set it automatically.

I guess the default open macro passes %1 over when it should be "%1"

Thanks for this tip!

I just reinstalled Windows on my system and when I wanted to open cob files the descript dialogue didn't pop up. In fact nothing happened and all the settings got erased each time I tried to open a cob...

I fixed it by looking up what exactly was done for the bos files which worked and so didn't assign scriptor via a "open with..." to cob but typed in the the orders ("open", "print", "printto") per hand together with the DDE commands which were missing when you just assigned cobs with "open with" to Scriptor... :-)
