Starfield Creation Kit | Scripting in Visual Studio Code

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this video, I'll be showing how to make use of the Starfield Papyrus plugin to edit and compile scripts using Visual Basic Code. This will require the installation of some plugins and a custom setup for a workspace and config files.

I also have a written version of this guide available as it can be tricky to follow.

UPDATE: Check the pinned comment for the older vscode extension file as Bethesda's latest version doesn't seem to work correctly.
