| Uh... this is actually a port from the Linux plugin nwnx_funcs by Acaos. The word "port" here is used in the loosest possible sense of the word. |

You're right, it wouldn't be compatible and I should never have used the word port to describe this plugin.
I merely tried to give us "poor" windows people some additional functionality and never thought about - I'm just assuming here - the fact that to run a linux server you still had to use windows to create and work on a module.
Wasn't somebody writing a linux toolset?
You could try to write a wrapper around the windows include file for the functions that do the same but take different parameters.
Also, the windows "port" doesn't include half the functionality of the linux version. |

Given how much you've already done I feel bad asking for more.
...but I'll live with it. 
You gave us GetMovementRate early on.
Any chance we can get a SetMovementRate? |

No problem, add this to nwnx_funcs.nss
| Code: |
NWNXFuncs_SetMovementRate(object oCreature, int iRate) {
SetLocalString(oCreature, "NWNX!FUNCS!SETMOVEMENTRATE", IntToString(iRate);
DeleteLocalString(oCreature, "NWNX!FUNCS!SETMOVEMENTRATE");
}
|
At least I hope that the function is still in the plug-in.
The reason that it doesn't have a script call to it is that, if used on a player, they have to relog for it to work.
Non-player creatures have to be saved to a database (nwn's is fine) and respawned from there. ...Using CopyObject might work too, for the copy at least.
I haven't figured out how to make a live character change movement speed but thanks to Virusman's name plugin I have at least a basic idea how to build and send Messages (server to client and vice versa). That might be the key. |

Wow - that was fast. 
The primary reason I had this in mind was for the occasional situation where altering a PC's movement rate breaks the PC and requires using Leto to fix them. |

hey max,
i've tried your plugin for some dummy script with SetQuickSlot to:
quickslot_s.iType = <qb_type_macro>;
quickslot_s.sLabel = "Test";
quickslot_s.sCommand = "/talk test";
so i executed the script in game and it worked, however when i ran it again, my server crashed
not sure in how deep you tried out this function - would you be able to look into that pls? |

I was afraid that would happen sooner or later. String handling seems to be an somewhat of a problem.
Almost all of the functions I've come across in the linux plugins say "causes memory leak".
The linux version of nwnx_funcs avoids this problem with the quickbar buttons by only doing spells.
I'll give it another try, but I can't promise anything. |

im not sure about what i am saying now (as im not sure how nwnx works at all), but:
when player creates a character using nwn wizard and when he logs into the game, his quickbar will be set up on some 'initial' setup
you can also see it when you make some NPC in toolset which after you posses in game as DM, the quickslots are set up appropirately
maybe poet question (just to give some idea):
can't you somehow find out how it is done on that particular case and use that idea in your plugin? |

Latest version (0.7) is on the vault http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=1447
| Code: |
v 0.0.7
Added:
NWNXFuncs_GetWorldDate
NWNXFuncs_GetWorldTime
NWNXFuncs_SetWorldDateTime
NWNXFuncs_GetFactionID
NWNXFuncs_SetFactionID
NWNXFuncs_GetSoundSetID
NWNXFuncs_SetSoundSetID
NWNXFuncs_GetSavingThrowBonus
NWNXFuncs_JumpCreatureToLimbo
NWNXFuncs_SetClassLevel
NWNXFuncs_GetDamageImmunity
New Effect handling routines (see fx_example.nss)
NWNXFuncs_GetFirst
NWNXFuncs_NextEffect
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectRemainingDuration
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectIntegers
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectInteger
NWNXFuncs_SetEffectInteger
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectID
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectType
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectSubType
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectCreator
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectSpellId
NWNXFuncs_GetEffectDurationType
NWNXFuncs_QueueRemoveEffect
NWNXFuncs_RemoveQueuedEffects
NWNXFuncs_GetHighestEffectID
NWNXFuncs_SetEffectCreatorByEffectID
NWNXFuncs_SetEffectSpellIDByEffectID
Removed:
NWNXFuncs_SetLastEffectSpellID
NWNXFuncs_SetLastEffectCreator
It's safer and more flexible to use the new Effect routines
Changed:
I put NWNXFuncs_ in front of all function names in changelog.txt, since some now have the same name as existing script functions
Found out that GetLocalObject is hooked by nwnx as well
"¬¬¬STRINGTOOBJECT¬¬¬" is not used anymore and does not have to be initialized
Removed some unnecessary stuff I was playing around with from the source
Moved the header files to their own, separate folder
nwnx.ini
Last_Skill_Number option changed to Number_of_Skills. (Because it kept confusing me! and it's probably one of those things I'll keep stumbling over)
It needs to be set to the total number of skills available (i.e.: last skills.2da rowid +1)
NWNXFuncs_Init has become obsolete since GetWorldTime makes it unnecessary to save a pointer to the module (was needed for GetEffectRemainingDuration)
Managed to get version information into the dll description
Get/SetQuickslot should now be able to handle all quickslot types, except for items

Hey MaxRock, nice work with effects, i have been waiting for get/set effect integer myself.
However Im insterested, why you made copies of standard functions, getspellid,creator, first/next, its not possible to use standard first/nexteffect loop and then new functions? Or do the standard functions work at all now?

I can only pass strings and objects between the server and nwnx, so it was either make equivalents of the standard GetEffect..() functions or run a second loop of GetFirst/GetNextEffect alongside if you needed to know Type, SubType, etc of the effect.
The standard functions work fine and they're what you want to use if you don't need to do anything "special" to the effects. The runtime of a NWNX_FuncsGetFirst/GetNext loop is about 2-3 times as long as an equivalent standard one; ~1100 µs vs. ~600 µs to loop over 30 effects on my machine. |

Thanks MaxRock for the new functions!
More and more functionalities I've given up are reborning thanks to that kind of functions. |
