NWNX.NET for Windows and Linux

[Funny]

Hi@all,

i have made a .NET binding for NWNX with support for Linux and Windows. You can use the same assembly for both operating systems.

The linux version needs mono.
The windows version needs the .net framework sdk (i don't know why. i am not very good in c++).
Native nwnx plugins should still work.

HowTo:
- Replace the NWNX *.so/*.dll files with the original.
- Copy NWNXDotNetEngine.dll in the nwn directory.

Create an new assembly (a nwnxnet plugin). Add a reference to NWNXDotNetEngine.dll.

To add a new command, just create a class named "MyTestCommand". with parent type NWNXCommand and implement the abstract method [i]string Execute(string Parameter);[/b]. The Parameters are the content of sVar (see bellow). The class name equals sCommand (see bellow). Now you can make something in the Execute method and return a string result.

Call the command via:
string sCommand = "MyTestCommand";
string sVar ="MyVars";
SetLocalString(GetModule(), "NWNX!DOTNET!" + sCommand, sVar);

And get the result via:
GetLocalString(GetModule(), "NWNX!DOTNET!" + sCommand);

Complie this assembly and put it in the nwn directory. Now start nwnx...

This is a alpha version and there may some bugs. But i used this a it works on windows and linux as well.

If is the someone can make the code nicer... You wellcome!

I just (after spending the better half of a day looking for something similar) stumpled on this. I really apreciate what you have done here.

Will have a look through the code and may return with suggestions and/or questions.

But again thanks for looking into doing something like this!

Thanks for this indeed.

That could be a good solution for my projects as well.

I'll try to port it to NWNX4.
