VS Code File Templates for Papyrus

Papyrus Project Template File.ppj.md

Note: Check to verify the path in these files matches your Skyrim install folder (else change the paths)

To use these templates with the Papyrus Extension for Visual Studio Code:

1. Install the extension
2. Download the latest version of Pyro
3. Browse to C:\Users\[YOUR USER]\.vscode\extensions\joelday.papyrus-lang-vscode-*\
4. Delete everything in the pyro folder and replace it with the freshly downloaded version of pyro
5. Open up the resources/sse folder
6. Open skyrimse.ppj and replace the contents with the contents of the skyrimse.ppj in this Gist
7. Open tasks.json and replace the contents with the contents of the tasks.json in this Gist

Now whenever you use the Papyrus extension to Generate Skyrim Special Edition Project Files, it will generate the updated files :)

You should tweak the .ppj template to best suit your needs.

If your path to Skyrim is different than the Steam default, be sure to update the path in these files.
