NWNX Core updates

Doesn't -Wall make -Werror obsolete though? -Wall reports all warnings and errors, AFAIK. What exactly does one gain by adding -Werror?

[metamud]

-Werror transmogrifies all warnings into errors. An error halts the compilation process. In effect, -Werror thus forces you to fix all warnings.

By making sure every warning is fixed (because it halts the process), you cannot overlook a warning by mistake (or by late-night induced laziness ).

Simple syntax and typographical errors already abort the compiler, the *real* issues are the glitches that only show up as 'warning' (if you are lucky enough to spawn a warning at all, that is), often because of their intrinsic subtlety.

Oh. In that case, I'll leave -Werror off, thanks. I'd rather let it get as far as it possibly can, then fix everything in one go.

First version of NWNX 2.8 inter-plugin communication:
http://nwn.virusman.ru/trac/nwnx2-linux/browser/branches/core-2.8/modules.h?rev=313
An example:
The ODBC plugin (or a core module) hooks SCO/RCO and exposes it as a hookable event. Any other plugin can subscribe to this event.
So basically it'll be possible to have two types of plugins:
* Event and service providers
* Plugins that use these capabilities to implement some logic

Exposed SCO & RCO globally:
http://nwn.virusman.ru/trac/nwnx2-linux/changeset/315

The same can be done for ResMan (i.e. if you want to implement resource storage in the database) and other plugins.

Basically, this API solves the problems of people who want to implement some logic for NWNX in C++, but don't know asm/hooking.

Hi,
I am trying rebuild the nwnx and other plugin for one of my project.
For development ease I decided to build a Netbean C++ project and build the code
with netbeans project.

I successfully built it and running with the server, however, it shows an error while server trying to load a release build. The error is as follows:

./nwserver: symbol lookup error: ./nwnx2.so: undefined symbol: o_esp

Can anyone point me out what wrong I am doing?

Thanks in advance.

To make sure the files build correctly, use the tools and scripts provided with the sources, and compile with make/cmake + GCC. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that the compiled files will work.
