Would the changes take effect if the player was re-sent the area data?

I only ask, because when I was attempting for find a remedy for the Area Black out effect for the AreasPlugin, that I experienced, I made a new function that re-sent area data on command.

It did manage to cause the area to turn from black area, to populated visible area, im just wondering if this would trigger area lighting changes etc on the client.

Neverwinter Nights recalculates lighting conditions when applying light effects or doing a SetTileMainLightColor, I thought. If that's the case, is it possible when this recalculation occurs it would reference the area header and remove the need for a reload of the area? Or is this more a problem of the client not having the updated data regarding the area lighting?

[Baaleos]

I know there is a function in the nwnscript for RecomputeStaticLighting.

But I have a feeling this may not actually affect Ambient and Diffuse Light Colors.

I think Ambient and Diffuse area colors/etc, may actually be sent to the Client, and handled Client Side.

I mean, area data must be coming from the Server to the Client on the initial Area Enter (when you see the load bar). Otherwise that load bar is pretty much just there for show.

It would make sense that Bioware designed this load event, to be the location of where all Static data is sent to the player. (Which kinda makes sense that the server would need to re-send, the area data to the player)

Whether it requires a re-entering of the area, or nwnx calling SendAreaData to send the data while the player is present, will be a case of trial and error.

RecomputeLighting etc, is likely only intended to be used for handling the non-static color changes in the area. Things that are changeable via scripting etc.

Since they never created scripting functions to change ambient and diffuse lighting, its possible that this function would not be designed to refresh those light conditions., and have no effect.

Ah, alright. It'd be really, really nice if the RecomputeStaticLighting did all the area lighting, but I imagine you're right. That's too bad.

[Baaleos]

That being said, RecomputeLighting is quite stressfull on server/client machines.


I have this thing in my PW, called a Glyph Network.

Basically, its like an electrical circuit throughout the city, where one glyph powers the next, and the next and the next in the series.

Turn one off, all the following ones lose power.

The placeable I use, is the Mythralar (or however u spell it) - And these light up when active. However, to get the most effect from them, calling RecomputeLighting is necessary, otherwise they dont affect their ambient surroundings.

The effect it had on game play was quite bad.
The server would actually freeze for about half a second, as each of these glyphs turned on or off, because of the recompute lighting function.
That being said... I was running it at the time in a virtual machine...

In the end, I made it so that they only recompute lighting when the area is empty - having less effect on Players game play.

How possible would a "Creator search" function be? Like for the DMs, who are searching tirelessly for some placeable or item in the Creator...

Is there possibility to load NPC's (or other resources) into module? I'm looking for some way to keep palete as small as possible.
I thought resman can do this, but it seems to be able to add scripts only.

Hi!

Anyone requested to catch TMI's on server-side? Would be very handy to log which script caused it...

thx

Would it be possible to get a linux port of the nwnx_admintool discussed here:

Thanks!

Can someone port the old nwnx_time plugin from windows to linux pls?

thx

edit: nevermind, i've solved it, it's easier to test it on windows anyway.

[meaglyn]

How about a way to set the base attack bonus of a creature. I think nwnx_cool has this on windows.
