 Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 23:05 Post subject: Mm, alternative to nwnx_SystemData to get timestamps? |
 |
|
Good day!
I am wondering if there is an nwnx plugin which allows me to retreive Unix timestamps? They are integral to keeping things running in my in-development persistent world. I found this nwnx_SystemData plugin and it does work, but I think it is buggy and causes my client to crash every now and then (player, not the server itself).

At the very least, nwnx_odbc + MySQL will let you do it. That's what I've always used.

<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? |

Client crashes were caused by something else and were not related to this plugin, however this plugin seemed to have caused DEP errors, as my XP kept warning me about it.
Also, while timestamps through database are interesting, they aren't really optimal, which is why I wondered if there is an alternative.

| I think there's a newer version of that plugin. I use it a lot and never had an issue with it. Win XP here as well. I guess you can find the email of the author? |

Is this for NWNX2?
You could try my NWNX^2 RealTime v1.2 plugin. (*halfway down the page)
This will give you all the server date/time info you could want.
It's ISO not Unix, but still down to the second.
Cheers

I'll try it if I continue having problems with the other one. I'd still want to use UNIX timestamp which makes calculations extremely easy without me having to convert one to another all the time. But thank you!

Assuming you are using the main trunk the nwnx_system plugin has the following:
| Code: |
/* Get the current system time in seconds since the epoch. */
int GetSystemTime ();
|
along with other UNIXy goodness  |

Terra (the author of sysdata) made the plugin to help me with some common tasks, and it does more than just give time stuff.
I am not 100% sure if everything is working, and I am quite sure that this is for sysdata2, but here's an idea:
| Code: | //Returns the current second
//UNIX timestap style
//Returns a smaller variant if nShorten = TRUE
int GetCurrentSecond( int nShorten = TRUE );
//Returns the time the server has been running in seconds
int GetServerRunTime( );
//Returns the desired intiger from sFile under sSection with sKey
//If non is found it returns nDefault
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
int ReadIntFromINI( string sSection, string sKey, int nDefault, string sFile );
//Returns the desired string from sFile under sSection with sKey
//If non is found it returns nDefault
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
string ReadStringFromINI( string sSection, string sKey, string sDefault, string sFile );
//Returns the desired float from sFile under sSection with sKey
//If non is found it returns nDefault
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
float ReadFloatFromINI( string sSection, string sKey, float fValue, string sFile );
//Returns the desired boolean from sFile under sSection with sKey
//If non is found it returns nDefault
//Note: Valid boolean types: 1/0 yes/no true/false
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
int ReadBooleanFromINI( string sSection, string sKey, int nDefault, string sFile );
//Writes or changes an existing intiger in sFile
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
void WriteIntToINI( string sSection, string sKey, int nValue, string sFile );
//Writes or changes an existing string in sFile
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
void WriteStringToINI( string sSection, string sKey, string sValue, string sFile );
//Writes or changes an existing float in sFile
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
void WriteFloatToINI( string sSection, string sKey, float fValue, string sFile );
//Writes or changes an existing boolean in sFile
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
void WriteBooleanToINI( string sSection, string sKey, int nValue, string sFile );
//This function calls strftime( char * format ) via system data 2
//Definition on how to use this function can be found here:
//http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/strftime.html
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
string RealLifeClock( string sParameterString );
//Preforms a system command (aka CMD command)
//Definition can be found here:

//meaning executing commands such as "cmd" will cause the thread running
//nwserver.exe to freeze until the new window is terminated!
int System( string sParameters );
//Returns a system environment string variable
//This function returns system environment variables
//see: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/getenv.html
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long
string GetEnvironmentString( string sName );
//Converts the first character in cChar to its respective ascii number
int CharToInt( string cChar );
//Turns each of nData to their respecive ascii signs and puts them togheter
//Example: 72 69 76 76 79 = "HELLO"
string IntToChar( int nData1, int nData2 = -1, int nData3 = -1, int nData4 = -1, int nData5 = -1 );
//Returns the first matching file with sPath
//Example C:/*.* will return the first file in C:
//Example C:/*.jpg will return the first .jpg
//Example C:/Bo.* returns the first file with the filename "Bo"
//etc
//Returns "0" on failure
//Sets the filehandle to the first file specified
//Note: the parameters may not be more then 255 characters long

What I use myself atm:
The INI reader is VERY handy if you work on multiple computers. I have an ini in my root that tells NWN if it isn't a test server or not, the local NWN directory (for leto), etc. I got the same on the server, so I never have to worry about test variables that I forgot to revert to their original values etc.
GetServerRunTime( ) is very nice for getting rid of long delays. I use it on encounter triggers. Instead of blocking them with a delay I simply store the trigger moment's timestamp on them and check the difference between that timestamp and the one on any new hit.
Anyway, I can recommend this little gem. |
