SetCampaignString

[mostal]

Hello,

I'm looking for informations about SetCampaignString Bioware script.

My idea was to create custom functions to replace SetCampaignString for use complex DBF files (not only Bioware DB with few static fields)

Do you know how I could do ?

Thanks a lot

The NWNX equivelant is SetPersistentString.

It is functionally the same except uses your external database.

If you want to use custom tables (other than the default NWNX table) then you can issue direct SQL commands and use whatever table configuration you wish, including returning multiple string fields with one query....

Thanks for your response.

I've seen that in aps_include file.

I have a craft project and you would propose 2 solutions: bioware DB et NWNX/MySQL support.

I don't have any problem with NWNX, I already use it for 2 years and I'm sure it is the best one.

For Bioware DB support, I would create new functions, like SetCampaignString, but without NWNX. That's my question...is it possible ? How ? Is native SetCampaignString script compiled in NWN game ? Is it possible to extend it ?

Thanks a lot

The native format is locked; you can't alter it.

The other option you might have is to use a Hak and a 2da entry instead of the default DB, but you can't write to it only read...

bad news

If anyone knows how to unlock standard scripts...

But you can change that too... from the nwscript script, it's a rather large project though and really not advised.

You can head over to the BioWare forums, George Z. posted some time ago how to change scripting functions, haven't tried myself though.

Good luck.
