I always get this error

Lookup root path set to: C:/NeverwinterNights/Nwn
Error: Couldn't initialize the NwnStdLoader

I am following all the readme's and tutorials but I always get this message. What am I doing wrong?

Appreciate the help. :)

Make sure you are using the right compiler and that you specify which game with Fred's compiler.

But if you want to do this the easy way, you can now compile your scripts directly with Kotor tool :)

Go to the tools menu, select the text editor. Then in the text editor window, go to the script menu, select your game (kotor 1 or kotor 2), make your script and then either go to the script menu and select compile or press F5 .

If you are still getting an error after this, let us know.

Thanks for the reply Darth333 but I tried Kotor Tool already and it gives me the same error.

Did you check your paths in the path manager (file menu)?

If not, can you post the script you are trying to compile?

I checked my paths and just thought that the problem might be from using xbox version of Kotor 2? This is the script I'm trying to compile.

AdjustAlignment( GetFirstPC(),ALIGNMENT_DARK_SIDE,1);

Try doing it more like this:

void main()

{
AdjustAlignment(GetFirstPC(),ALIGNMENT_DARK_SIDE,1 );
}

That should work :)

You need to add a 'void main()' statement and place that function into a scope, try the following:

void main() {
AdjustAlignment(GetFirstPC(), ALIGNMENT_DARK_SIDE, 1);
}

oh I see. well first of all I imagine that your script looks like this:

void main()
{
AdjustAlignment( GetFirstPC(),ALIGNMENT_DARK_SIDE,1);
}


Second, there is a mistake in nwscript.nss in the xbox version (it was fixed in the PC patch 1.0b after tk102 pointed the error to a dev). You can download the fixed version from this thread: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=143681)

You'll find more info about the fix here: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=146472)

Finally, I imagine that you extracted all the scripts from your xbox?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have a copy of the fixed nwscript.nss and so far a have copies in my Kotor 2 root folder, my override folder, the folder where I have HazardX's compiler installed and my Kotor Tool folder but it still doesn't seem to want to work. I also tried HazardX's without any success.

Do you think I could just fix all this by buying the PC version?

I compiled several scripts successfully prior to the release of the pc version with hazardx script compiler (I have the xbox version too). If you use this compiler, make sure you use method 3 (from section A) of the tutorial. nwscript.nss has to be located in the same folder as nwnsscomp.exe

However, with kotor tool, you have to use Fred Tetra's script compiler. I don't know about KT but Fred's script compiler should work with the xbox version too. Follow method 1 for non U.S versions.

Still the same error message, anyone have any more ideas?

Can you tell me what method you are using, which script compiler and the exact way you placed you files on your PC? Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

Okay I'm using HazardX's compiler using method 3 as you suggested. I have a folder containing: nwnnsscomp.exe, nwscript.nss, nsscomp.bat (The batch file you provided), and my scripts. Then I double click the batch file and it doesn't work.

I always get this error

Lookup root path set to: C:/NeverwinterNights/Nwn
Error: Couldn't initialize the NwnStdLoader

I am following all the readme's and tutorials but I always get this message. What am I doing wrong?

I had exactly the same error message when I started using nwnnsscomp again a week ago around the same time I reinstalled kotor2, but unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure what I did to make it stop...

Since you are using the XBox version of the game, maybe it's because you specified -g 2 specifically, and it is looking for the non-existent registry setting that specifies the path to your computer's kotor 2 installation. Have you tried it with just nwnnsscomp.exe -c somescript.nss -o somescript.ncs? Or maybe you need to have some kind of registry setting there regardless? I dunno, just throwing out some possibilities.

You don't need to specify any game with that compiler. But you have to use the v-1.00 switch. Perhaps Fred's would work.

I compiled scripts with only the contents of scripts.bif on my computer before the release of the pc version without problems. You can drop them in any directory along with nwnnsscomp.exe and this .bat file: http://www.starwarsknights.com/forumdl/nsscomp.zip) . However, I believe that Fred's script compiler asks for some specific settings but I could be wrong as I never tried it without the PC version of Kotor2.

If I understand he's getting the same error from both compilers. I really don't know what is causing this :confused:

Eh still nothing, I give up. Thanks for all the help though. :)
