Notepad++ is a freeware text editor that can be used to edit and compile Papyrus scripts. It can be downloaded from the official Notepad++ site. Notepad++ supports user-defined syntax highlighting autocomplete, folding, and can be set up to quickly compile Papyrus scripts, making it a more robust option than using the basic in-editor text editor.

Setting up a quick compile

  1. Open Notepad++
  2. Hit F5 (run)
  3. Paste the line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Papyrus compiler\ScriptCompile.bat" $(FILE_NAME)
    • NOTE: Inside the quotes, paste in the equivalent path on your PC while points to that ScriptCompile.bat file.
  4. Select Save...
  5. Name it something useful like “Compile”
  6. Set up a keyboard shortcut if you want, such as CTRL+F5.
  • You can find the new shortcut under the Run menu option, or just use the keyboard shortcut.
  • You can change the keyboard shortcut under Settings -> Shortcut Mapper -> Run Tab
  • This will compile the script you are currently tabbed to while in notepad++.
  • NOTE: Check Skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\ScriptCompile.bat and make sure its file paths match your installation's. The below in its entirety should work for a default Skyrim installation on x86 or x64 Windows.
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Papyrus Compiler\PapyrusCompiler.exe" %1 -f="TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg" -i="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source" -o="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\Scripts"
Pause
  • The script must be saved and located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\Scripts\Source" for the compilation to works.
  • NOTE: Inside the quotes, paste in the equivalent path on your PC while points to the "\Data\Scripts\Source" file path.

Setting up Papyrus Language Definitions

Autocomplete

  1. Download this file: Papyrus Language Definitions
  2. Install the papyrus.xml file by placing it in your Notepad++\plugins\APIs directory (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs)

Syntax Highlighting

  1. Create an XML file with the following content:

  2. Install the custom language by opening the "User Defined Language" window in Notepad++ (accessible via the lightning button on the toolbar or via View > User-Defined Dialogue...), and import the XML file you created via the "Import..." button.
