Beta plugin: nwnx_funcs

[Zebranky]

I don't think there's a hook for learning spells from scrolls at the moment. Sounds like a candidate for nwnx_events, though.

<Fluffy-Kooshy> NWNx plugin is to this as nuclear warheads are to getting rid of fire ants.

<ThriWork> whenever I hear nwn extender, I think what does NWN need a penis extender for?

It's done in my unofficial modification.

I think in all cases I still have to deal with Sorcerers who cannot learn spells from scrolls, so at the moment I'm setting the MySQL based on oItem from either EVENT_TYPE_EXAMINE or EVENT_TYPE_USE_ITEM, this seems to work quite well, and in time for our next release.

Again, my thanks.

First, I'd like to thank acaos for his work on this plugin. It's greatly reduced the amount of work I have to do.

However, I'm having a puzzling problem. Here's the facts. I'm running NWServer 1.69.8109 and NWNX2 v2.7.1-dev on Ubuntu 8.04 Server. I'm not sure which version of nwnx_funcs I'm using. The log file doesn't state the version. Suffice to say, I compiled NWNX2 and plugins from the SVN trunk about 2 weeks ago. I'm also using nwnx_chat and nwnx_odbc and they both seem to be working fine.

I haven't tested all the functions but GetClassByLevel(), AddKnownFeat(), GetTotalKnownFeatsByLevel(), and GetKnownFeatByLevel() all seem to be working fine.

The problem began when I tried to call GetFirstArea() and it returned an invalid object. When the function is called, NWNX2 reports:

FAILED: NWNX!INIT(O) has not been initialized.

Yes, I am calling SQLInit() before this, and the other plugins are working fine. GetPortrait() also gives the same message, and returns an empty string. I haven't tested any other functions.

Incidentally, I tried using GetFirstArea() from nwnx_functions and I get the same message.

This may or may not be related, but I'm also occasionally getting messages of the type:

REJECTED: (S) ret=0x081c97fc but we wanted ret=0x082041ec!

I haven't pinpointed what's triggering those yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:

On a whim, in nwnx2.ini I set:

disablenwnxinit=y

and now GetFirstArea() is working. Additionally, when it's called, NWNX2 says:

NWNX!INIT enforcement disabled, using 0x08203e79

So what's the deal? Does NWNX!INIT enforcement have to be disabled for GetFirstArea() to work? The README file in the SVN trunk says:

[acaos]

I've actually never had that set to anything but disablenwnxinit=y. I think it's more important on Windows servers.

Or just add to your onload script:
GetLocalObject(OBJECT_SELF, "NWNX!INIT");

[Quixsilver]

BroadcastProjectileToObject/Location seems to have a problem.

The error message below "Unrecognized string request" is generated in the funcs logfile using both the ToObject and ToLocation variants of this function.

Windows never needed it. Linux needed a pointer initialized before certain plugins were run. I've quite lost track what of the details

[Undertowe]

Thanks for the responses. I suspected there was a way to manually initialize the object stuff, but couldn't find it documented anywhere.

You must have the gperf package installed in your linux distribution to compile nwnx2. I don't think that the gperf stuff is recompiled at runtime...

To compile the whole package use ./install.sh in the base directory.

I saw someone else is having a similar error, but nobody has answered it yet. I dl from the svn and tried to compile, but get an error when trying to configure. The following message is at the bottom after running ./configure

checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... no
checking fcntl.h usability... no
checking fcntl.h presence... no
checking for fcntl.h... no
configure cannot find necessary include files.

Any help would be appreciated.
