NWNCX_Patch and NWNX_Patch v1.30

DOWNLOAD

Very important release. Spend 2 days working on this one (and playtesting).

Fixes to the both plugins:
- completely reworked the OnClientLeave improvement to fix issue with loading saved games
- fixed SetDisableObjectHighlight not working with FALSE
- fixed not being able to take metamagic feats during level up on a first level of spellcasting class

Fixes to the nwnx_patch only:
- removed potential memory leak in spontaneous spell improvement
- flying creature trap immunity feature made disabled by default
- fixed crash with ranged devastating attack

Fixes to the nwncx_patch only:
- fixed bug in level up spell gain that was counting race ability modifier twice

Fixes to the softcoded scripts:
- fixed knockdown dealing 10 fire damage
- fixed knockdown failing when used on targets with tiny size
- fixed disarm not being possible against targets without droppable weapon
- fixed typo in module switch name for hardcore evasion rules

New features, fixes and improvements:
- enabled debugging, use DebugLevel=X in nwnplayer.ini under [Community Patch], values 0: almost no debug messages (default no need to set), 1: prints debug messages for using NWNXPatch_ functions, 2: prints debug messages for most hooks too, 3: prints debug messages for all hooks including those running extremely often
- plugins will now be able to recognize global module switches using the new OnModuleInit event
- new feature to enforce DnD hardcore rules Uncanny Dodge 2 feat behavior using module switch
- new feature to grant immunity to flanking use variable IMMUNITY_FLANKING int 1 (I recommend to create a custom effect for it)
- improved comments and descriptions in most scripts

Notes:

So I spent last two days recoding the nwnx_patch plugin code in order to make it compareable to the client plugin code. Basically I get rid of NWNX API completely because it was easier solution than adding API into client plugin code. So, this means that from now nwnx.txt log will print this error message: "* Error: can not find creation function in nwnx_patch.dll". However don't worry plugin still works, you can ignore this error. What's weird is that after I did this, when I started server via NWNX it crashed on load just like DarkSet reported. Even more weird is where I tracked crash - to the feature implemented several month ago which didn't change. No idea why it worked before and why it crashed now, but I fixed it so I hope it will work for you now DarkSet ! Let me know please.

I also had to rework the OnClientLeave module event improvement as I found out that if you start a new module in singleplayer, plugin saves the OnModuleExit script for itself and deletes the original. But, if you save a game, shutdown nwn and load the save what happens is that the OnClientLeave will be "". While singleplayers usually do not use this event at all and it should not happen in server mode I rather completely reworked it so the module event script is not changed, but the vanilla OnClientLeave call will be removed.

OnModuleInit runs 70_mod_init and it is basically a copy of OnModuleLoad, it fires before it and it was created for plugin specific purposes, namely to handle global module switches in plugin. But I imagine ways to reuse this for custom content. The advantage here is that you know the script name and you know it will fire for every module player will start or load. So if you want to make a "mod" that will grant player unlimited number of henchmens, you can add SetMaxHenchmen(999); into this script and as long as player runs NWNX+CPP 1.72 last release it will work.

And finally added debugging. I was hesistant to add it before because it actually never helped me much determining a crash. Most crashes were happening somewhere else in engine because of the actions I done, but not immediately when I did it. But, maybe some good comes of this, so here it is. If your module crash try set the DebugLevel to 2 or 3 and send me last few lines in log. I don't recomment use values 2 or 3 in normal run - some of the hooks run extremely often (with level 3 it creates 5mb log every few seconds...).

EDIT:
Oh and btw, the Uncanny Dodge 2 flanking rule is implemented as: if target has uncanny dodge 2 or higher, check sum levels of classes that grants at least uncanny dodge 1 +4 and compare it against sum levels of classes that grants either sneak attack 1, death attack 1 or bg sneak attack 1. This means it is compatible with custom content, however it is a bit tricky with custom content sneaky classes as you have to add him one of the vanilla sneak attacks, which will then not stack with rogue/assassin/bg which you don't want so to workaround this, you should recalculate the sneak attack OnLevelUp and grant a higher version using bonusfeat itemproperty.

Thanks))

[DarkSet]

Great, thanks! My server successfully started with v30!

[Antegate]

Like you said. Errors In the log. But NWNX_Patch* functions on the server do not work.
In nwnx_patch log - all ok =/

nwnx.txt

[ShaDoOoW]

try temporarily remove all other plugins. Let me know if it works without them. If yes, start adding them one by one and find which one causes problems and let me know which it is.

I tried with only one of your plugin
and script on event module enter

object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
NWNXPatch_SetDisableObjectHighlight (oPC, TRUE);

if(NWNXPatch_VerifyClientRunningNWNCX(oPC) != 100)
{
NWNXPatch_BootPCWithMessage(oPC, 16777493);
return;
}

not working

in log

[ShaDoOoW]

add DebugLevel=1 to nwnplayer.ini under [Community Patch] and tell me what nwncx_patch.txt says: this error is normal since v30 and should not affect anything

I add DebugLevel=1 in server nwnplayer.ini and nothing is written in the log on the server. In client only the download of hackpacks is written in the client's log

client

[ShaDoOoW]

this is the problem

[Antegate]

Yes, it worked. I think that it is to remove this lever, since it is so important
Thanks)
