nwnx_funcs for windows

[addicted2rpg]

Well Baaleos, you could fix it and post patches.

I've heard GIT merges are more fun than SVN merges.....

but I think we are kind of a small dev community to really be having that discussion yet.

Should post the nwnx_fixes fix for preventing stacking of items with differing variables from another thread, too. =)

Hello...

I fixed a few things

- Instances where the Param string was overwritten before the parameters could be extracted (GetKnowsSpell, GetRemainingSpellSlots, GetMaxSpellSlots, GetSpellsGainedAtLevel, GetStatsGainedAtlevel)
- Shamelessly copied Flutterby's RemoveAllSpells solution

I tried to reproduce a few things that I read too:

Can't get PopupMessage to crash, but I'm running my test server in Virtual PC Windows XP Mode (I assume it's 32 bit).

SetAbilityScore:
Technically it doesn't add any racial modifiers. They are added when an ability is read, e.g.: to display them in the char sheet.
The dm command dm_SetSTR/DEX/etc. does; which has the same problem.
It's possible to script around it by reading the modifier from racialtypes.2da and subtracting it before calling SetAbilityScore.

Also I found that AC seems to be updated in the char sheet just fine when changing Dexterity.

Great job!! Many thanks to you, MaxRock!

P.S.: Just out of curiosity, is SetMaxHitPoints() functional?

the most simplistic way to make it work for PC's would be to make it call the SetHPForLevel function.


The only problem is that each level of the character, can only hold 255 hp.
Meaning if you tried to set the HP of Level1 to 256, it would crash the server.

I did this in a custom leveling system I made, using Pseudo Levels.

You could remain level 1, and gain pseudo levels, and the amount of Pseudo Levels you could gain was equal to (40 x 255)/ Whatever HP is gained per level.

The end result was, that I was able to fit in something like 15 Pseudo Levels for every 1 Bioware Level, and was able to get large MaxHP values by modifying the HP value for each level individually.

Granted - to roll this into a single function, it would need to perform alot of back end calls, to know when to add hp to level stat tiers etc.

I suppose the function could add all 40 Level Stat Tiers, and then modify them from level 1 upwards, adding hp to each one, until we get the Max HP Value desired - however, the downside of that, is that it would invalidate the whole purpose of level stats.

Eg Setting Level 4's lvel stats hp value to 100, just to get ( 255x3 )+ 100
Would mean that a single level loss, would cost those 100 points, or more level losses would cost 255 for the previously used levels.

eg - Level 5,
255 x 4 = 1020 hp

De-level to level 2 =
510 hp lost

The inverse of this is also true.
If you tried to set your HP to 2500, you would need to have a bioware level of at least 10
Levels 1-9 = 255 hp each
Level 10 = 5 hp

But the bonus is that Level 10 has enough room in it, or another 250 hp, before requiring another Bioware level to be added.

And if you wanted 2805+ hp, you would need a bioware level of 11+

Im getting the occasional Crash on SetTag
Faulting application nwserver.exe, version 1.6.9.0, faulting module nwnx_funcs.dll, version 0.0.8.9, fault address 0x00014530.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Note - My version of funcs might be a little old (few months)

I was just wondering if the SetTag function has had any work done to it that may resolve this?

Logs are as follows
Occurs when a player dies, and goes to the 'Spectral Realm' an area dynamically generated (a copy of the area they died in)

Thanks for the infos/precisions on alternatives to SetMaxHitPoints(), Baaleos. (I have managed to code a working system from those infos)

Me again I'm having a problem with NWNXFuncs_SetDomain. This will set the clerical domains properly and even add the domain powers, but it will not give the domain powers any uses. So, e.g., Trickery domain will grant Divine Trickery in the radial menu, but the uses will always be set to 0. I've tried using IncrementRemainingFeatUses to handle this, but no cookie. Any ideas?

Hi Maxrock
I see that in the source, there is a prototype function ready, but not hooked up yet, that does Possess Creature.

Would it be possible to get it hooked up, along with the unpossess creature?
Pretty Please?

Hi,

I'm having an issue with GetItemPropertyInteger() crashing the server, upon passing a standard IP. Is it because the function is intended to work with custom IPs only?

Thanks!

Whether it is possible to add function changing effect of a lightning in area properties?

[addicted2rpg]

My internal tests have factions, message dialogues, and a few other things as not working while some functions are working.

How would anyone feel if this plugin were sundered into smaller plugins?
nwnx_stats, nwnx_messages, nwnx_items, etc.. At least good components of code could be distributed without (or with very little) error and ailing components could be considered under development.

Ah yes, the Linux compat angle. I suppose it does make it easier for module maintainers to migrate between the two platforms as their hosting needs change. What a headache.
