 |
|
I've begun porting nwnx_dmaction to windows.
This is very early release, my first touch with development for win32 NWNX2, so things need tests.
Plugin is fully ported, current functionality:
- DM_ACTION_MESSAGE_TYPE - Catch almost every dm message and prevent it (fe dumpvars, setvars, setstats)
- DM_ACTION_GIVE_XP
- DM_ACTION_GIVE_LEVEL
- DM_ACTION_GIVE_GOLD
- DM_ACTION_CREATE_ITEM
- DM_ACTION_HEAL_CREATURE
- DM_ACTION_REST_CREATURE - multiselection suported, create your own multiselection tool (example code in package)
- DM_ACTION_RUNSCRIPT - lets control which scripts can be run
- DM_ACTION_CREATE_PLACEABLE
Hope you will enjoy. Please post if there are any problems.

| Could you explain where you use this for. I got some ideas myself, but I am interested in the thoughts behind the plugin. |

Hey, myself I dont consider this something extra but it is surely useable.
1) DM resurrection and ability to bind it with custom persistent death
2) Give XP rewrite via SetXP, by default this DM function uses GiveXP which has racial penalty and often wont "persist" after relog!
3) Giving gold for logging purposes, some peoples using gold tracking feature (im not one of them)
However many of us already workarounded these via DM wand, but there is one more thing you can do with this.
4) bad DM logging, you now can log all actions so you always know that your DM gave big advantage to his friend or so... this was requested many times
Well im not sure if I use it myself, however doing this axs surely was worth, the more things will be available on windows the better. Thanks.

Mostly, logging and access control (fresh dms have no access to item creation, no access to SetVar* dm_dumplocals* etc.)
And tools,
creating placeable for persist decorations.
changed dm rest radial menu position to multiselection tool,
alternative heal code.
I think there are lots of possible uses. |

|

I have a question regarding the dm plugin, and about its capabilities.
Say for instance, you run a PW, where you have artifacts, and powerful items that exist in the game world as a single pickup EVER.
Obviously, the last thing you want is a DM spawning these specific items, and screwing up your artifact system.
The way mine worked, was that the monsters would have a rare chance to drop one, and then it looks in database for a resref of an artifact that has not been dropped yet, then when it picks one, it removes it from the database, and spawns it on the monster.
If the player picks it up, then it gets totally removed from database, if not picked up, it gets re-added on next server reset.
Obviously there is 3 different things that a dm could do to mess around with this.
Spawn artifact on ground
Spawn artifact on creature/player
Spawn artifact on container
Is this dm plugin, capable of 'blocking' the spawn item command conditionally, based on the tag or resref of the item being requested?
Eg - Allow dm's to spawn any item, but when they try to spawn an artifact
"Artifact Spawning is Forbidden at your Access Level"
or something like that.
Now, I know that you have provided a script with your plugin, which does the switch statement, and it could be used sorta for what I need to use it for.
But what I dont know is, if someone uses the dm spawn function on a player for instance, does the code in the switch statement get run
Before the item appears
or
After the item appears.
If it gets run before, and can then block the item from appearing, then nothing to worry about.
If it gets run after, and then I would have to signal a delete of the item manually, then this causes problems, cause then I have to tell the artifact system to disregard the 'acquire' event of the artifact being acquired by t he player.
Any insight? |

The hook begins after item is loaded but not added yet to inventory or area.
As in example, when DM spawn item that cost more then 10000 script will prevent item appearing in object inventory, after that DestroyObject is needed,else we will cause some kind of memory leak, item will be not accesible in limbo.
| Code: |
if(nAction == DM_ACTION_CREATE_ITEM_ON_OBJECT) {
object oTarget = oGetDMAction_Target();
object oItem = oGetDMAction_Target(TRUE);
WriteTimestampedLogEntry("DM Action: <"+GetName(oDM)+"> (CreateItem "+GetResRef(oItem)+") <"+GetName(oTarget)+"> <"+(GetIsPC(oTarget)?GetPCPlayerName(oTarget):GetTag(oTarget))+">");
if(GetGoldPieceValue(oItem) > 10000) {// Prevent creation of expensive items
PreventDMAction();
DestroyObject(oItem); // Clean up; We don't need it anymore?
}
} |
With this plugin you can do pretty nice access control system, storing rights in vars and prevent access to dm_dump* dm_setvar* SetVar*.

Ahh, I get it now.
So it does prevent it from appearing in inventory, the DestroyObject method acts more like a back end clean up of sorts.
Thats exactly what I needed to hear. Means that onAcquire shouldnt be fired for the player/creatures who are targets of the GiveItem dm method. |

Not sure if anyone has had this issue (I realize this is an old thread), but certain length returns from "RUNSCRIPT" will crash the module.
EX: FOG_ICY will not crash it, but CATAPULT_BOULDER will.
I tried changing the buffer length and the string compare lengths in the source code, but this didn't help.
Any advice? |
