Technical Question

[Aerisarn]

The PG object used in nwnx (used for example in SetDescription) is represented as a common gff structure in nwn memory? Is it possible to directly edit that in memory with nwnx api?
It will be useful to know, as we can replace all leto stuff by directly edit that. I know there's the nwexalt project that is doing something similar, but i was just curious and, if it's possible, i'm going to write something, as I really need that as soon as possible.

that's too bad. Any source of info of pg objects in nwn memory other than directly hack & try or gdb?

[Zebranky]

Directly editing memory is possible, but isn't always enough. The NWN network protocol is fairly optimized, so data only gets sent to the client when certain functions are called. Different data on the client and server could cause problems, up to and including a crash (if, for example, a feat were removed from a player in memory, but they then tried to use it because the client still thinks they have it).

<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?

Is it possible to hook one function twice by two different plugins? For example if I try to hook CNWSCreatureStats__GetEpicWeaponDevastatingCritical, but it is already hooked in nwnx_weapons plugin, could it work? Or only last hook function will be executed?

Theoretically it's possible, but it's very likely that it'll crash.
NWNX 2.8 offers an internal inter-plugin hook API for use of one hook in several plugins.

Do You mean function nx_hook_function() ? With this I can hook one function in more than one plugin?
I want to try hook critical hit, but this functionality shouldn't be part of nwnx_weapon, where it is already hooked.

Thanks. I'll try it.

No, nx_hook_function is just a hooking helper from nwnexalt.
NWNX 2.8 interface provides CreateHookableEvent & HookEvent functions.
