Description

Oblivion Script Extender v0012 by Ian Patterson and Stephen Abel

The Oblivion Script Extender runs in the background behind Oblivion, allowing the addition of new functions for scripters to use in mods. Still very early in development, OBSE has already completely revolutionized scripting with the addition of such much-asked-for functions as IsKeyPressed and GetCurrentSpell.

This doesn't make any modifications to oblivion.exe or TESConstructionSet.exe, or any other files in your Oblivion install, so don't worry about permanent side effects. It will only work with specific versions of Oblivion - in general, it will not work with localized versions, Direct2Drive versions, unpatched versions, and no-CD cracks can prevent it from working as well. However, several people have had success running OBSE with localized versions of Oblivion. Your best bet is to simply try the latest version and see. See Discussion for more details.

behippo's Comments

"This release does three main things: 1. Breaks out into individual functions all of the GetXXXValue functions available in earlier releases. The composite versions should be considered obsolete now. 2. Introduces many Set/Mod Value functions for Inventory Items and Magic Items. 3. Introduces beta flow control functions. Label and Goto (also available as SaveID and RestoreIP) provide basic looping functions.

Finally, numerous bug fixes and other enchancements happened over the 3 month period between the release of v0008 and v0009.

This release also introduces a new HTML command documentation. "

Installation
  1. Copy obse_1_1.dll, obse_1_2.dll, obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_0.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_loader.exe to your Oblivion directory.
  2. Copy scripttest.esp or another OBSE enabled ESP to your Oblivion plugins directory and enable it in the launcher.
  3. Run oblivion by running obse_loader.exe from the Oblivion directory.
  4. Scripts written with these new commands must be written via the TES Construction Set launched with obse_loader. This can either be done with the Command Line (typically Start->Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt), navigate to your oblivion install folder, and type "obse_loader.exe -editor". The normal editor can open plugins with these extended scripts fine, it just can't recompile them and will give errors if you try.
Troubleshooting

Oblivion doesn't launch after running obse_loader.exe:

- Make sure you've copied obse_loader.exe, obse.dll, and obse_editor.dll to your oblivion folder. That folder should also contain oblivion.exe. - Check the file obse_loader.log in your oblivion folder for errors.

obse_loader.log tells me it couldn't find a checksum:

- You may have a version of Oblivion that isn't supported. I have the english official patch v1.1.0.511, localized versions with different executables or different patches will not work. If there's enough legitimate demand for it, I can add support for other versions in the future.

- Your Oblivion install may be corrupt. Hacks or no-cd patches may also change the checksum of the game, making it impossible to detect the installed version.

Crashes or other strange behavior

- Let me know how you made it crash, and I'll see about fixing it.
