Yeah that's fine. You can still save the NSS. DrMcCoy (lead Xoreos dev) explains here why certain scripts fail to decompile.

I would guess you tried decompiling it with TSL's nwscript.nss. Make sure you are using the version with K1's nwscript.nss, as I suggested by having two separate versions. If that still doesn't work, then you probably have JCarter's disease. He can't decompile certain scripts which other people can for some reason.

Hello, ebmar! I can answer your question. DeNCS does decompile most scripts "partially" but that is sufficient to display their content. All you need to do is to right click on the Original or the Recompiled window that appears and choose "View Decompiled Code". In my experience with the original files, I would estimate around 20-25% of compiled script which DeNCS fail completely at decompiling (for a few of them there is the source available in the game files though) while the majority does decompile partially. Cheers!

It's a Java executable, so all you do is double click it to run it (assuming you have the Java Runtime Environment installed). After that you simply browse and load the NCS file you want to decompile. When you close the file, it will ask if you want to save it as an NSS. You need a copy of nwscript.nss in the same folder, but I would advise making two copies of the program in two separate folders. Set one up with K1's nwscript.nss and the other with TSL's nwscript.nss.
