Script not showing up in script editor

[stella]

Got a script in the right place (x2\scripts), but it doesn't show up in the script editor.

Anyone got any idea why?

I've written other scripts which are fine.

The only thing I can think of, is that by using a 3rd party editor, I've somehow corrupted it, so that the editor doesn't recognise it.

Can anyone think of any other reasons?

you need to restart X2 if it was running when you add the script, but my guess is you've upset it using another editor.

I didn't think there WERE any 3rd party script editors?

you can't just use any old XML editor; just changing the text bit doesn't change the script, you have to fix all those numbers in the bottom too and I don't think anyone's decoded all that yet!

The script editor just does not work that way

in an external editor you see the code array. this is the script not he writting to gernerate the text. The text is just there for external viewing with the stylsheet

Can edit the text all you want but soon as you go back to SE either 1 of 2 things will happen (from experiance)

1: x2 will blatantly refuse to see the script file

2: the changes you made revert to the old setting that where originaly in the script

This has let me to beleave the the script editor works directly on the code array not on the stylesheet text

Than again I could just be totaly wrong in this situation

incidentally, in case anyone's wondering "how much can I change before it won't display in the script editor?"...

I simply renamed a file I'd created from Init.Orbiter to init.Orbiter, and it no longer displayed or auto-executed

did you change all occurencies of the filename inside the xml, too? guess not.. do it now :]

[JustHere4Coffee]

I was just tidying how it looked in my directory, why would/should I think of editing the file too? (I already fixed it anyway, was illustrating a point)

[XeHonk]

cuz the name of a script is stored inside the file, too =)

[JustHere4Coffee]

Yes, I know... but...

*sighs, gives up explaining that it was an explanation of game silliness, not a query/problem*

Have you tried viewing the script in IE ans seeing if the name there matches the name you clicked on if not rename it so it does
