xp_srvadmin - script functions for ban/boot/shutdown/etc

[Pepe66]

ShutdownNwn2server() works for me on patch 1.23 final (pre-hotfix) and NWNX 1.0.9.
Same for BroadcastServerMessage().

I have not tested the other functions.

p.s. I do agree that being able to to password and un-password the server would be a useful addition. It would allow us to prevent people from logging in after a 'server restart in x minutes' message.
Also the possibility to change the max player number could be useful for that purpose.

Added untested functionality to set the player, DM, and admin (server admin console - you probably don't use it) passwords, as per the server GUI. These don't persist across restarts.

Nice !

For my problem, i have two server running on the same pc with both its NWNX plugin (and both nwnx having srvadmin)

What is wierd , is that my import module is working fine for restart, the command is passed to the plugin and server is restarted.

But on the play module, the identic function is sent, and then nothing happen, doesn't seem to be catched by the srvadmin plugin, it's the same for the leto command wich aren't catched on the play server.

Could it be a nwnx conflict ? I'll try to do more testing (shuting down the working nwnx to try the play alone)

PNJ:

xp_srvadmin explicitly goes out of its way to support multiple server instances running on the same computer, even on the same desktop.

This really sounds to me like either a configuration issue or a problem with the NWNX core itself. I'd tend towards configuration issue at first bet. (Are you sure that both instances of nwn2server has their own userprofile tree, or via -home their own subsection of that tree?)

Thanks for this plugin

I saw it since some time and I just try it.

It works great and now I can protect the server with a password during the loading time (many persistants entities to load).

I use this thanks to propose an add , as the possibility to change the server name It will be uselfull to name the server as loading when it loads.

Sorry, it was a mistake, I wont to write " I can " and not " I can't "

It works great ^^

Yes, the server will appears in red but the players can think that it's a new rull then that's just loading session.

But it's not very important

First of all, thank you Skywing.
Second, couldn't it be possible to add Item Level Restriction toggle? It seems to be the last missing checkbox and I'd really appreciate it

Thank you again

[Skywing]

I can add some code to toggle the ILR checkbox but I'll need you to test the build out and make sure that works.

Skywing, Can this, or nwn2_srvutil be updated to include the ability to set the Server's game difficulty, and tell it to save the server (with need to specify save game name and slot number, also have to handle the overwrite confirmation popup, but assume that overwrite was desired)


I can use nwnx_controller to run nwn2server as a service, but nwn2_srvutil cant find or doesn't permission to inject into it. Likely because the server was launched by the controller process, so permissions might be an issue. I've not gone much beyond that yet.

In order to similate a SP mod (with NWNX support) as a loaded server instance, I need to seamles let the players connect and do functions normally available to them in an SP game. Most notably, Saveing the game and using the game options to set the difficulty. (both of these can be intercepted with gui scripting, and thus sent off to a NWNX plugin to to the actual task.)

[Skywing]

I'll look into it; this would just be a matter of controlling the spinner for difficulty adjustments.

I looked at the IDs so am going toward an update to this, Although I may just try replacing the entire plugin with Interop calls from a CLR script.

However, xp_srvadmin, as is will not work is used against nwserver when launched form nwnx4_controller *without* the -interactive argument set.

This is because it create no window. No window means no window handle and can't get to the MFC GetDLGItem calls to find the gui components to send the messages to.

if nwnx4_controller could opener nwn2server with WindowStyle hidden the handles would still be available. (I believe it simply doesn't create a window at all when interactive is not specified)

At the moment, Im forced to use the -interactive setting and then as soon as I obtain a valid handle I send it the message to hide the window. However if the module being loaded is large this can cause the nwserver to sit on screen for several seconds before it finally processed my hide request.
