NWNX Speech plugin!

[JeroenB]

After a request of some people I desided to spend some time at it and here it is: the Talus Listener program embedded in a NWNX plugin! You can download it directly from here here. It is currently only available for Windows.

The plugin uses the original source code of the excellent Talus Listener program written by Lanthar (all credits go to him ). So instead of running the seperate executable you can now install this plugin as described here here and continue using the system. It is fully compatible with the scripts written by Lanthar e.a.

It does still use a database for storing the messages as the original Talus Listener executable does. Only now the database will be selected based on your configuration of the nwnx_odbc plugin (so direct MySQL access is now possible too!).

Have fun with it!

Fixed a minor bug in the source. Please redownload the package if you have it already installed and overwrite the nwnx_speec.dll file.

ps. The webserver cache has been not been updated correctly so I suggest waiting a couple of hours before starting to download. The file size should be around 74Kb (cache still has a 1.6M file... )

Download link updated.

I also made a linux version which I stil have to upload. Note that this will be an ALPHA version. I hope to be able to put it online soon.

You'll be my hero as long as it works with the current Linux version of NWNX.

I, for one, am looking forward to it. Then I can *finally* drop the DMFI listening stuff (which doesn't work all that well, anyway...).

Linux version has been released. It is an ALPHA version so it could have some problems to run correctly. Note that it should be run as root user, or another user that has query rights on network interfaces. You will also need to install the libpcap and libpcap-devel RPM's.

For the Windows version I am currently developing a version which does not need a database at all . I have to test it thoroughly though before I will release it, unless one of you wants to test it for me.

[Blacksting]

I will test it vigorously

[JeroenB]

Ok, I uploaded an Alpha package. Please read the documentation that I included good before starting with it. The scripting part is very important

[Blacksting]

The new version still crashes on me It also crashes on my other server now instead of just defaulting to ODBC and not connecting.

I will try moving up to the new version of WinPCap.

[JeroenB]

yes, that might help. can you also show me how you set things up? are you using the database?

[Blacksting]

I was using version 3.0 WinPCap. I upgraded to 3.1 beta 4 and the crashes stopped. Serves me right for using Talus for so long!

[JeroenB]

Yeah, I will update the documentation right away. I used the newest library of WinPCap to build the module. Thanks! Keep me informed if it still works!

[Blacksting]

One problem I have is that the log is not rotated. Is it possible to write the log rotation as "all" files? It would seem to make things easier in that department.

My earlier post saying things were working was inaccurate. I had a Talus Emulator NPC hanging around and it was doing the work . At the moment traffic is passed to the log but not passed in to NWN. I am investigating.
