That’s the problem with encrypted scripts…they are more or less tied to the version they are encrypted in.

One option, I guess, would be to go the full, compiled plug in route, since I doubt you would go with unencrypted scripts that get compiled at runtime, by the current running version…

Simple solution is to encrypt them in the oldest version of DS you have. You can safely ignore any errors the script IDE of said old DS version throws at you, of course, as long as the script works in whichever version it is supposed to work..

Thanks guys. I’m guessing I’ll be installing DS3 again

Yes, the binary formats (.dsb and .dse) are version-tagged and DS won’t even try to open a file from a newer version. It would be hard to have older versions know how new a file they could safely open, I suppose, but it is generally an annoyance rather than a help.
