 Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2005 23:54 Post subject: What isn't working under Linux? |
 |
|
| I'm a professional C/C++ programmer and I know just a little assembly as well. What features are not yet working in the Linux version of NWNX? Are all the modules supported under Linux? I have not used NWNX before but I would like to start and I refuse to use a windows server so mostly I want to know what works now and what still needs work. |

One of the functions plugins hasn't been ported. And since no one can seem to find the source it probably won't  |

Dazzle's isn't. And the source code is no longer available as he can't find it  |

NWNX on linux cannot store objects in the database (SCORCO), development tools like the profiler are only available in the windows version.

Mm, the plugin I posted is just a compilation of Isilweo's SetName/Description and the Set/GetBodyPart code.
I managed to dig up the original topic about Set/GetBodyParton the NWNX Guild Forums. It has the Set/GetBodyPart source for both Windown and Linux. It can be found here: http://nwn.bioware.com/guilds_registry/viewtopic.html?forum=5041&topic=111321&gid=3087
Isilweo's plugin with source can be found here: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=scripts.Detail&id=2068
As already stated in another topic on this forum, changing wings currently doesn't work. I do not know if the other bodyparts are broken too, haven't touched my plugin for ages.
Ugh, I remember trying to compile my plugin, took me ages since I'm not that proficient with C++, still aren't actually. Anyway, good luck trying to port it. |

Whats this looking like now? I had a quick try of the latest linux Letoscript and didnt notice any particular problems, but then I am not very familiar with letoscript.
Any comments? |

Are there any plans to support SCORCO on linux?
and is there anything i could help with to get this done or is there some limitation of the system? |

As far as I know, nobody found (or tried to find) the function signature (i.e. offset) of the SetLocalString function in the linux binary. If that is done, the functions need to be hooked with some assembler code. If that is done, some boiler plate code for storing and retrieving blobs to and from mysql needs to be written.

Hi,
How does one go about finding a function signature? What can I read to find out more about it? (I'm eager to learn, just not quite sure where to start.)

Anything you can find on GDB and x86 assembler, really. There are a couple of "hacking howtos" for windows binaries, but the general approach is the same on linux. Try to find something on removing serial number checks or anything of that sort. Note: I do not endorse things like that, but as long as it's done for educational purposes, I'm fine with it.
Since objects are written to the Bioware DBs and thus on the disk, you can work your way backwards from where the code starts accessing the database subdirectory. Check out the callstack, a few functions higher should be SetCampaignObject (not SetLocalString, that was a mistake of course).
Once you think you have found the right function, write down the first 20-30 bytes (in hex) and you've got your signature.

Hmm. Then what's this?
