|
|
all right, I've had this issue before, i used to have 64 bit ubuntu desktop, and this issue popped up all the time.. i recently wiped and installed ubuntu 8.10 32bit so we could compile all plugs from the svn, and use them..
We were having problems getting the database plugs to compile in 64bit.
I compiled svn co 205 in our 32bit OS.. I'm using nwnx2 and plugs from it and this problem is back.. i used to think maybe it was a 64bit issue, but now its as bad or worse with this 32bit installation..
After starting or restarting the server, 1 or 2 times out a 5 in a day, EVENTS plug fails to load (on create) .. it is intermittent, doesn't happen every time..
my question is this.. can you tell me if a switch exists that would let me say in the nwnx2.ini, if all plugs dont load well, restart?
Or if not, can u offer the best code possible to use in the mod, so that on load, EVENTS hooks are tested, and if there not loaded, restart the mod? if we could do that , it would be unnoticeable anyway.. here are some logs..
The big reason we need this, is because we reset using the reset plug every 5 hours, and that means, unchecked, the server can run without the events plug for 5 hours at a time when it doesn't load properly..
fail log..

Figured this was the case. Ah, well. ZZ Dialog is it. 
Thanks for the response. Glad to get an answer this time  |

Since you're using Linux anyhow, I believe the easiest way would be to spawn a detached bash-script just before launching nwserver, assuming it's now called in a looping script to auto-restart on crash as well.
The detached script would then simply have a sleep, possibly looped till logs.0/nwnx_events.txt exists, and once it does, grep the nwnx_events log on "X Could not find SaveChar". If it finds a result, kill the proces stored in .nwnpid
That way you have an external detection whether a plugin does not properly load, which would obviously be more reliable as any built-in ones, as they could fail loading on their own. |

| Does the same bug appear when you compile from the release version (1.3.1)? |

Not quite sure what you mean?.. using svn 205 (latest) which is compiling events 1.3.1 |

SVN version counts as 'unstable'. The stable versions are released in this topic (click here for the latest stable release).
EDIT: You're right: 1.3.1 release and the latest svn trunk are identical - there have been no changes. |

So any ideas? when it happens it says "on create()" , could that mean it just had trouble making the EVENTS log file, and kicks out before establishing hooks?
couldn't you just add a couple re-try's on what ever is failing? or maybe just (in that case) continue with hooks (no log file) and just spit out a message like:
ERROR: EVENTS: OnCreate() failed: No Log File Possible, EVENTS plugin registered
Also, are there any nwnx2.ini settings that might be helpful, is there a list of possible settings somewhere? or other things you might suggest to get around this problem?
NWN Extender v2.8-dev
--------------------------------
ERROR: EVENTS: OnCreate() failed.
FUNCS plugin registered.
RESETPLUGIN plugin registered.
LETO plugin registered.
ODBC plugin registered.
CHAT plugin registered.
WEAPONS plugin registered.

INIT(S): valid ret=0x082041ec
INIT(S): reset ignored ret=0x082041ec
As you may have seen if you looked at the build text file i provided on earlier posts, there is a lot of this kinda thing happening
NWNXEvents.cpp:40: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
I did a search for this issue, and there are many responses. here is one from ubuntu that's titled "g++ doesn't like char*" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=832513 which suggests using "std::string".. but I don't know if its helpful..
this seems to happen though, where ever char* is in the code.. Having trouble believing that is the problem, since other plugs seem to work all the time, and events works half the time.. don't think its the code, but i wouldn't know..
Also seeing these:

Our mod creator/main coder, noticed that the EVENTS file built on our system was about half the size of the link you provided for the same build of EVENTS above. We had to use your build...
I had noticed that our ODBC plug was also smaller than the size it should be (we were having problems using it) and I had to find an old one..
Why would my building on my 32 bit ubuntu 8.10, using the SVN, cause files to compile at half their size, and half their capabilities???
For the EVENTS file that we compiled worked, but not always..
and the ODBC plug worked for some table updates(not all), but only if it used DATABASE instead of ODBC2 in the nwnx2.ini file..
We needed ODBC2 , so i had to use an old one..
But anyway.. here again is all build info using the install.sh..
From the old build.. http://cwlweb.servegame.org:16080/svn_co_205_built_on_ubuntu_8.10_32bit.txt
Or, you can see the latest data from the latest buld (svn 219) here http://cwlweb.servegame.org:16080/SVN219BuildText.txt
Same thing is occuring with latest build..
Also, i see there is a plug called nwnx_mysql.so??? how does this differ from the odbc plug? as we use mysql..
I've also added our compiled folder in the case you want to see the files themselves..
here http://cwlweb.servegame.org:16080/plugs/
That URL will give you info only from the compiled folder, like size, no access, if you need the files , ill get them to you.
Can u look at it, maybe see what's missing???.. maybe its a package or something..
UBUNTU is one of the best, or best distro out there (according to http://distrowatch.com and many others)..
Sure would like to build plugs from the svn.. and we use others from it anyway.. weaps, funcs.. we use them, and they seem to work, but i wonder if their shortened somehow.. \
thanks..

It's likely you're compiling them without debug info. If they work, they aren't shortened.

As i stated in the post though.. 2 main plugs compiled were smaller than there counterparts found thru download, and only half worked, where as the downloaded files worked...

Hooking this would be a HUGE help. Any chance you guys can make this happen?
