bg3se lacks proper build instructions

[evrenguenay]

I could not get the SE v20 over the internet (seems bg3se web service for manifest update is dead after v18 (v18 generated the BG3 Script Extension folder under the user path), I am trying to generate the dlls myself. I downloaded the project, and stuck with the Generated/xxx.inl folder. How one can produce these?

I added the "External" externals.

So lacking instructions according to me?

• generating Generated/xxx.in
• the call order to generate-property-maps.bat, generate-proto.bat
  After above ones are succesful, would the compilation succeed?

I'm not sure why you think that, the manifest has data for all versions up to v20 (or v21 for development branch).

The order of generate-property-maps.bat and generate-proto.bat doesn't really matter.
Generated/xxx.inl is generated by generate-property-maps.bat

generate-property-maps.bat is not generating the "generated" files:

the generation need generated files for generation, i think; that is the problem

Oh, that looks like an oversight in the generator script, you need to make an empty BG3Extender/GameDefinitions/Generated folder before running it.
