NWNX Functions.dll Merger

[Dazzle]

Just a custom functions.dll I once compiled for my own use.

Contents:
void NWNX_SetGoldPieceValue(object oObject, int iValue);
void NWNX_SetTag(object oObject, string sValue);
string NWNX_GetDescription(object oObject);
void NWNX_SetDescription_(object oObject, string sValue);
void NWNX_SetName(object oObject, string sValue);
int NWNX_GetBodyPart(object oPlayer, int nPart);
void NWNX_SetBodyPart(object oPlayer, int nPart, int nType);

Credits go out to Isilweo for the SetName and SetDescription and the NWNX Team for the other functions.

These functions only work with the Windows version of NWNX. It has not been tested on Linux.

Download here.

The rar file includes the .dll and an .erf with the functions. The include file with the functions isn't heavily commented, if you have any questions you can send me a PM or ask them here.

Edit, can't find the source code anymore, bugger.

hello.
If you wait few days i'll publish somewhere new version of my functions cause i'm rewriting it from scratch. There's now corrected version of GetDescription and GetName. It reads description from tlk if there's StrRef description instead of normal one.
Probably you wonder why i've made GetName function if there's one in nwscript already. My function supports getting name for different languages. It's quite useful if you have mixed names.
----
Ie. you've imported area to your module but this area was in english. So you've translated all names (descriptions also) into your native language (polish in my case). What happens now is that if you play game (using polish client) you see everything in polish language but if you use GetName from nwscript it returns english name)
----
Of course GetDescription also supports different languages. There are few other hepfull functions.
GetAppearanceString - it returns item's appearance in one string (52 chars), and of course SetAppearanceString
Get/Set ResRef.
Set/GetLocalVars and many others that are already in nwscript but i thought they could be usefull in external dll.

here's a list direct from source of what's already done. stay tuned.

isilweo,

that looks awsome!

One little question, tough: I asume, that many of those functions require a recreations (ie. CopyObject()) to make the modifications visible/effective for the players in-game?

[Acrodania]

These are great! Too bad SetName and SetDescription doesn't work on creatures, otherwise I would only need one sample creature in my mod! It is wonderful for things like the Name placard on PC's houses and such, simple database call and everything is properly labelled!

But did I see a new function SetZPosition?!?!?!?! I think I'm in heaven! Bet it doesn't work on creatures though, or does it?

[Trelantris]

Does this not work on creatures? I would think they would just be considered objects, as well as placeables, and items. I can't wait to dig into this, it's awesome. I gotta go test out what is fully capable with some of these functions....

[Acrodania]

I thought (hoped) so too, but have been unsuccessful in making them work. And yes, I spawned them elsewhere, delayed the functions, and them jumped them to the location needed after enough delay for the command to work. No errors were reported in either the spawn, the description or the logs.....

I did find a minor bug in the SetDescription() function also. When altering an item with this function you HAVE to alter the default description when identified/not identified. With a placeable you also have to set a custom description.

If you leave the normal "This is one of the unusual items" thing it will not set the description. If you put in a custom description it sets it correctly.

Just something to watch

[Trelantris]

Where, where, where did u get it? (oooooo wanna play!)

[Acrodania]

So Isilweo,

How is the new function plugin coming along? Inquiring minds.......

[Guest]

bump !

anyone has news about it ?

[PWMONSTER]

I want the plug-in to which the time of the reality (time outside the game) can
be displayed.

I want to change service according to time that the student, the housewife, and
the company employee play.

Is it difficult?

[NoMercy]

If your running MySQL, you can

Hi there ! All this stuff sounds great, but is it stable ? I know a nwnx plugin with SetName() function has already been released, but i remember it wasn't very stable. When, you use your SetName() function, is the name applied on all langages or just for english langage ?
Thx.

[redils]

Dazzle : Could you include sources into your .rar plz ? In fact, i would like to port this functions to linux. Thx
