Any chance you are gonna release that? Razz

Or is it out and I missed it somewhere? Or still in development?
Thanks,
Funky

Ok, thanks. Not sure if you are using it, but there'll be a new version of SIMTools out tonight or tommorow, with some nice new features. Here's a preview:

SIMTools v1.4
-Added a silent lore check option for language recognition and comprehension checks, included in a modified GetIsSkillSuccessful function because GISS was bugged in 1.67 Linux.
-Modified emote handling so that other messages beginning with the emote symbol would not show as invalid emotes, unless they were in shout channel. This will allow people to use the * prefix for emote commands an still allow normal use of *-prefixed emote sentences, which seemed like a more natural setup than forcing a different emote symbol.
-Added a switch in the nwnx.ini file to allow processing of npc messages, which allows dms possessing npcs to have their speech processed. Credit to dumbo and virusman for the added functionality! The switch is off by default. To turn it on, just remove the ; from before the ;processnpc=1 line to uncomment it and have SIMTools process NPC speech, and then save.
-Minor bugfix to allow subraces to give characters multiple languages.
-Added an escape string option. Adding it to the beginning of the string in a SpeakString call will prevent the speaker from translating the string if they are in 'speak another language' mode. It's useful for text you don't ever want to be translated, like loot notification messsages. You can set it to whatever string you want, of whatever length, so long as it does not begin with your command symbol (default is !), your emote symbol (default is *), or the forward slash channel designator (/).
-Added the nwnx reset plugin and a dm command to reset the server from ingame, dm_reset. Unlike calling StartNewModule, the reset plugin stops the nwserver process, clearing the memory to eliminate lag buildup.
-Corrected the description of the metakick command.
-Updated the playerinfo command to provide more information.
-Added the anon command to hide some of the new information given by the playerinfo command, and the unanon command to remove anonymous status.

Currently Im adding all the dmfi emotes to a reoptimized HandleEmotes function. It'll have roughly twice the emotes (there are two-letter shortcuts for most, and the ones already present in SIMTools that didn't overlap with DMFIs), with far fewer comparisons.
After that I just have to update the descriptive items with the new commands and it's done.

Thanks again for a great plugin, both of you!

Yes, thanks. I'll be looking forward to seeing the tells.
BTW, I just finished a generic wrapper around the chat plugin for the dmfi tools. If nwnx2 chat is not detected Crying or Very sad

, it uses spawned listeners instead. But it is generic, so any script can use it.

Question about npc listening: Exactly what channels does it monitor? I was afraid to turn it on on my server bacause of the volume of silent shouts. Will it only get NPCs possessed by dms, or will it get all speakstrings + silent shouts? Or what, exactly? And what is the processing impact of all that? Just asking for educated guesses on that point. Wink

Thanks,
Funky

That'd be fantastic, especially if it was the same as the npc processing switch, with a script and an ini option. I switched all my mosters to custom factions for the same reason - the faction check is at the start of the onconversation check. It made more of a difference than any of the hundreds of other changes I made to cut lag, too, though that's partly due to the larger spawns sizes on HG. Good to know it's low-impact, in any event.
Thanks,
Funky
