Wish List

Can we start new processes from NWNX? Being able to execute an OS command, as if entered from the command-line not via an API, would be helpful. It would not have to synchronous and the process could be completely independent, not a child process. Just fire and forget.

Support for multiple databases on the same server including the ability to switch from one to another in the case of the db going down

Support for multiple servers across the internet including

Character Transfer
Table and Row synchronization
Variable synchronization

Direct link between in game variables and database values (just dreaming here)

Remote maintenance and control of NWNX

Second the request for the ability to do a graceful shutdown of the instance.

Maybe the hook offsets could be readed from a Ini-file instead of hardcoded version.

So you don't need to download a new .exe after a patch.

I think we will get more updates with the start of NWN2, so this could be usefull.

I am very much interested in features that support and enchance cross server communications. Cross Server Chat, Cross Sever WHO lists, cross server in game PMs, etc.

I know it has been already stated but

HASHSET functions!!! They RULEZ!!!

Major Wishlist item:

Database queries to allow handles or something to the query.

Situations like:

Select...

while(fetch())
{
Insert
update
}

Screw up bad right now cuz the inserts and the updates kill the results for the select. So if there could be some sort of handle able to be passed to the request, and recieved, to tell which result to fetch on that'd be awesome

yeah, I know there is workarounds for certain scenarios, but I was just giving a simple example, what I do with the database is alot more complex

Getting a result set and fetching on it shouldn't be too bad for a plugin, I could probably write it if need be.

[sstacha]

In order of priority I would vote for (probably order of difficulty also):

1) Existing nwn2 functionality (mysql version)
2) Existing hashset functionality (use it liberally in my mods)
3) Update counts returned

4) Ability to Use multiple connections for nested sql.

---> NOTE: number 4 is a really big change as I think the design would have to change dramatically to allow developers to create / close connections and or statements have multiple resultsets etc. Given that most things are usually able to be gotten around with a little extra coding and it would substantially increase the difficulty of use I would consider this one a pie in the sky request that may not be feasible.

if it is possible, enchance the watch dog functionality in order to see if the server hangs (crashed but not quitted) with an option in the ini of the delay time to kill the process

i.e.
- the server crashes (it doesen't reply)
- NwNx waits for X seconds
- if the server continues hanging, NwNx kills the process and call it another time

thanks

Any chance of getting the HOOK for Get2DAData(?).

eg Get2DAData("NWNX!<table>","<LookCol>!<LookVal>","<DataCol>")
or something similar.

I can do it other ways. This is purely for simplicity to the wider community.

Cheers

It'd be nice if NWNX4 could run a module that was saved as a directory. It will make it much easier for developers to update a server remotely

[yi]

Affinity

as we did for NWNX2, it will be really nice if we can have an "affinity" parameter.

When you load 2 modules on a dual core, they run on the same core... not very usefull

Thank you

possibility to launch a "directory" rather than open a .mod

On the current version if you enter a "directory" as parameter... it does not launch it
