nwnx_funcs for windows

[Zunath]

In regards to my earlier comments, I think it was related to the way I was handling the code.

Without going into great detail, I was trying to set the PC's hit points for levels he didn't have which resulted in crashes. You might consider checking to see if they have the level and if they don't then don't make the change.

I'll keep on testing and let you know of any problems I find. Thanks again for porting these awesome tools. It's really helped me make NWN my own game

EDIT: Also, I was looking to use the timing bar functions but they don't seem to be in the include script. The prototypes are there but not the actual function. Any chance I could grab those from you?

Unless changes were made recently to nwnx modules to make them compatible with xp64. My desktop is xp64, I'm having to test modules on virtualbox, last time I tried nwnx with 64 bit was a year or so ago, didn't work then. Might give it a go.

[xardex]

Well I downloaded this for the hell of it, and first of all, this is easily MUCH better then letoscript and simpler to use. (Simpler to me at least, since this already has all the functions I need)

SO

I wrote a simple script that throws these at an entering object...

[ArielT]

Yes. It crashes when people log out with 64bit systems. You should try a 32 bit emulator.

Man, every time I log in here I check this thread and its like Christmas

[Baaleos]

We Wish you a Merry Christmas.... lalalalaaaaa.

Ok, that was pointless. Lol

But yes, I agree, the features granted by funcs is beyond brilliant.
Its like multiple christmas's all at once, and hes still adding more if im not mistaken.


Im wondering if its possible to do a Possession one?

Eg - Script in Possession (like DM's can do) but make it so that players possess the npc that they are assigned to by the script.


I remember it being discussed on here before for linux, but never heard where it went.

If it were possible, I would imagine onDeath scripts would need to be capable of handling it.
But would it be onDeath for creatures, or OnDeath for player that controls the creature..... confusion....

Virtualbox works well. You just need a windows 32 bit install disc, but they are easilly acquired, enough said on that subject. Lol

Just before I go about hassling with the box, will I be able to host with it?

Does it affect performance and/or pings?

[Baaleos]

If you have a good spec Host machine. eg the physical Box.
Then you can set the virtual box settings to anything you want, up to the max of the host machine.

Eg - Got 4 Cores on ur processor, u can assign, 1,2,3, or 4 of them to virtual box.

Got 4 GB Ram, you can assign any amount of ram to your virtual machine.


I have mine set to Single Core, and 1gb Ram
Single Core being an AMD 6400+ 3.2GHZ Dual Core Processor, so it does me.

Not forgetting that nwnserver works properly only with single core affinity, so assigning more cores, is pointless.


Pefrormance wise, sometimes I notice the Virtual Machine reacting faster than my host machine, because the virtual machine ONLY has the applications running that are needed.

Eg - nwnserver etc.

Unfortunately I cannot guestimate ping etc,

I have my internet connection in my house set up in a weird way

Internet connection - > Wireless Router - Broadcasts to whole house

But I also have an ethernet going out of the router, into -> Powerline Network Adapter which connects to my other Powerline Network Adapter in my bedroom connecting to my Router for my bedroom connecting to my Desktop PC which then hosts my Virtual Machine

Essentially, I have my virtual machine , behind 2/3 routers, and have it in the DMZ of both.

Well... I have the second router, in the dmz of the first, and then the virtual machine, in the dmz of the second.

Which works

Ping wise - depends on the client connecting, someone in the UK would get ping of around 50-60ms
Someone in america might get 300+


If you intend to use a virtual machine for nwn, you should set your network adapter in virtualbox to be a bridged adapter, and select your physical adapter from the list.


This will make it so that VirtualBox has access to whatever comes through on that adapter.
It will also get an ip address in the same subnet, allowing ping to and from the network.

Means you can also specify that ip address for port forwarding and dmz.

eg - My Physical Machine is
192.168.2.7
Virtual Box is - 192.168.2.10

The code for the Timing Bar is in the dll source, I've had a look.

Im working on getting the function declaration working myself.

I am gonna give this a go.

[Baaleos]

Good News is that with a simple function like that, you can trigger the Start and Stop functions for the timing bar,
However, I dont think I passed the parameters into it the correct way.

I tried to get a 15 second time bar, and it filled up within 1 second, then stayed on screen for 15 seconds, then dissappeared.

So this means that the Stop Timing bar function I wrote in my module works... it can accept any value.

I used the value "blah" in the SetLocalString

However, the StartTiming Bar didnt seem to work correctly, since it didnt make the bar fill up slowly, instead insta filled it.

[Baaleos]

As someone has already said.
SetMaxHP doesnt seem to be working.

[MaxRock]

Sorry about all the bugs, guys.

I'll try to get to it within the next couple of days.
