This is a functionality that would be perfect in a new plugin! It would have a simple ini file with those values, and just return them upon request.
It should be very easy to write something like this. |
Or if not found, revert to the NWN.INI values
We already know where this file is,
and that way you have pre-defined defaults
I'm also suggesting it gets into the Main NWNX4 (even if just as a base/partial class) this way it is already availabe to the plugins, after all the information only needs to be collected the once. If a plugin has 'a special' let them ignore or override the the property.
Having a 'get NWN_INI_ALIASES" plugin seems a bit silly.
Yes, it could be done as a plugin, but then you have a load-sequence issue for other plugins that would use it.

Well, if you need the directories in nwscript (as you said in your previous post), a plugin would be the way to go.
If a plugin needs the directories (i.e. in c++), it should not be too hard to write a few lines of code to get the values from its ini file, or from the nwn.ini one.
I have to think about it. It may be a bit too special to put this into the main DLL.

It you're going for a small footprint, maybe a little specialized. I'm assuming you have the code already available in the main exe - you have (or will have) a NWNX4.INI for configuration - a few extra lines in there.
But that's beside the point - Your call if it goes in or not.

Thanks for the INI option to redirect the Temp and Logs.
Is there any work-around to prevent NWN2 Server, when run as a non-interactive NWNX4 service, from building all its nonsense under "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2"?
Not the best place for the INI file, the Servervault or the Server Description if you plan on hosting multiple servers.
You think OE will tweak something for the community when they release their stripped down NWN2 dedicated server in Jan? |

Not that I know, currently.
Well, there seems to be something different when run as a service, e.g. someone reported that WriteTimestampedLogEntry outputs nothing. I'll have to look into this.

I'd suggest creating a specific username for the server to run under. This way, you can also use that to run the NWNX4 service, and all files will go into the expected place.

Yeah I'm happy now. Took a similar approach.
Created a local service account with admin rights and tweaked its registry so that its "Personal" shellfolder a.k.a. "My Documents" ended up being the root of my G: drive, which merged the NWN2 directory structure exactly where I wanted it.
Ended up reverting the service account to LocalSystem, making the same "Personal" reg tweaks to .Default and SystemProfile users because for some reason, running as the user account, NWN2 Server would spam my Security log (with successes) every time it ran. It would repeatedly take ownership of 800+ files. |
