Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Scripting where are the game scripts located?

When I run the script editor and select a script from the drop box i get a error no matter what i choose.

Could not find a part of path "drive letter:\steam\steamapps\common\divinity original sin 2\data\public\shared\scripts\game\scriptname.gameScript'

Did the scripts not come with the editor or do i need to find and extract them?

Yeah, they need to be extracted. You can find information on the tool here at the wiki. I actually don't know which PAK file exactly that you'll need since I have not edited the gameScript file myself, but the PAK files are located in the install path\Data directory.

The game scripts are located in the "Divinity Original Sin 2/Data/Shared.pak" file.
You can use this tool:
https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/nb-stor/dos/ExportTool/ExportTool-latest.zip
To extract it.

Are there any other Pak files that I should extract to help with modding?

And do i extract them to a certain place? or is the desktop in a folder fine?

Folder on the desktop if that's where you want it would be fine. As far as other pak files, don't think so as far as I know. You can extract them anyways if you like.
