Hrm.. NWscript is a generic name for any script written for Neverwinter Nights. It isn't a specific file.
For instance, if you go into a simple mod (with NWNX setup and functioning properly) put down a placeable, then edit its properties...
Make sure the 'useable' checkbox is checked. Goto the scripts tab, then click edit fot the OnUsed event. This will open up a script editor window. Paste in the single line of code from the instructions.. like this:
| Code: |
main
{
SetLocalString(GetModule(),"NWNX!RESETPLUGIN!SHUTDOWN","1")
}
|
Save the script (the name doesn't matter, choose something you like or think is suitable). Now build the mod... and you have a placeable that will reset your server. Extrapolate from this how to get the server to reset in other circumstances. If you need extra help with specific scripting issues, or how NWN events work, bioware has a lot of great guys on their forums that can help you out.
Good Luck!

I have this system installed into my server, but whenever the server crashes and restarts I lose data.
How can I prevent this? Also, how can I make it so that the restart goes off at a designated time of day? (such as 4am, 12pm, and 8pm)
Sorry if this is a lot to ask, but this seems very useful. |

You will need to add save char line to the script then reset.

I'm sorry I wasn't specific enough... Will ExportAllCharacters(); also save all of the data into my SQLite database? Such as items in the bank?
Thanks! |

No, exporting characters only makes sure that the character file is saved correctly in the server vault. It has nothing at all to do with NWNX or any database access |

Wouldn't the best be like this:
| Code: | #include "aps_include"
void main()
{object oPC = GetFirstPC();
while (GetIsObjectValid(oPC))
{ if (!GetIsDM(oPC))
{ BootPC(oPC);
}
oPC = GetNextPC();
}
DelayCommand(0.1, SQLExecDirect("COMMIT TRANSACTION")); // Not sure if this only works for SQLite
DelayCommand(0.2, SQLExecDirect("BEGIN TRANSACTION")); // Not sure if it's needed to start it up again
AssignCommand(GetModule(), DelayCommand(5.0, SetLocalString(GetModule(),"NWNX!RESETPLUGIN!SHUTDOWN","1")));
} |
We use something like that anyway. We have SQLite. I don't know if the transaction things work for anything else. |

I'm happy to see that people are using the plugin, yay!
Yes, Rami, I like your solution as it gives the players a disconnect notice before shutting down, thanks for posting it. I may include a version of that in a later release as an example script, is this ok with you?
As for Non-SQLite, we use MyISAM tables in MySQL and there's no need for committing transactions.
In response to Zunath: As for saving your data, it really depends on what needs to be saved and where you want to store it in your database. If you use Rami's example code you should be able to cycle through every player and save what is needed right before booting them and resetting the server.
To get the server to reset at a specific time you will have to setup some kind of timer, probably in the module heartbeat event. Make it very simple so that it doesn't use much cpu time. Reset the server when so much time has passed, you can warn players with shouts or server messages when getting close to a reset.
