Just open Notepad++, go to Plugins - Plugins Admin..., then search for "Papyrus Script Lexer", tick it, then click Install. Notepad++ will automatically download and install it, restart itself, and when it reopens it will have been installed. Once it's installed, it's just a matter of going to the Languages menu and selecting Papyrus Script from the dropdown.
Does it find my skyrim game file automatically, or do I have to manually enter that in?
[edit, it did, I had to go to notepad++ > plugins > papyrus > settings > skyrim se/ae and there it was]
*UPDATED NOV 2023*. Posting this as helper and reminder for myself.
1- Download 'PapyrusPlusPlus Installer(x64)' for the files section here.
2- Get v7.4.2 of Notepad++ (needs to be 4.6.2 for this Skyrim 'PapyrusPlusPlus' to work.
(Later versions of Notepad++ will require updated, see comment by 'Scruff777' below.)
You Can use Notepad++ Portable or Installer. ...thanks to limorkil1 for the file repository.
Install Notepad++.
3 - Run 'PapyrusPlusPlus Installer(x64)'. (Can be run from anywhere..)
It'll ask you to Navigate and install where Notepad++ is.
4 - Go to your 'C:\Program Files\Notepad++' ... see the Papyrus.dll file there?
Well it needs to be in a FOLDER called 'Papyrus++'. So create new folder and put a copy of Papyrus.dll in there...(thanks to martlart for that)
5-Run Notepad++. It should now immediately ask for paths setup.
- For Fallout, use these paths ...thanks to werr92 for this time saver. nb: * dont COPY/PASTE HIS EXACT ones in his comment, theyre not 100% correct! The Correct paths are:
(Top box)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe
(When you ran the 'PapyrusPlusPlus Installer(x64)' installer, it put a 'Papyrus Compiler' folder in 'steam\common\Fallout 4'. This is where the compiler is.)
>Import directories (One per line):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\Scripts\Source\User
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\Scripts\Source\Base
>Output directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\Scripts
>Flag file:
Institute_Papyrus_Flags.flg
6- Find and Change the Notepad++.exe properties, click compatibility at the top, then run in compatibility for windows 7. (...thanks to Ryyz for this)
7- Start Notepad and test by typing any text into a new blank doument, and hit compile - It may start download some Windows missing .NET files.
8- (optional) Install Autocomplete by going to here:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/st4rdog/3470de541941d3e9b5b1/raw/02be3fa5e622535243b02e34cacdd7e79f2421e5/papyrus.xml
and copy/paste into new notepad file. Save as 'Papyrus.xml' into 'C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\APIs' folder.
(nb: You will need to create this 'APIs' folder AND make sure you run Notepad++ as Admin, to be able to save this.)
So now you can compile any scripts you make.
But how do you DECOMPILE another mods script that only comes as a .pex ?
9- ..by installling Champollion from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3742?tab=posts
Download and extract and you will only see a .exe. To actually use it/decompile a .pex file, you DRAG THE PEX file you want to decompile ONTO THE .exe itself. It'll spit out a .psc version to open in Notepad++. ( Massive thanks to Orvid for his hard work making this, thank you! )
Massive thanks to all who posted with install help, its a total head melter, and ofc thanks to Tschilkroete for his hard work.
installed to \Program Files\Notepad++\ autoCompletion\Papyrus Script.xml but the suggestions don't come up when I start typing.
npp v8.4.2, npp-papyrus v0.4.0
Can anyone help?
for downgrading if you do update :)
EDIT: Papyrus++.dll needs to be in a papyrus++ folder on at least the newest version of notepad. This was my issue.
