nwnx_functions + Get/SetDescription

[Mikel of Avalon]

Sorry - when i try to set a different racialtype, the nwnclient (winxp) crashed. Must i activate nwnx_leto to use this ?

[EDIT] Possible not the function - but anything with the new character i make - i will check it out at weekend while i'm still busy in RL.

I'm working on area instancing (loading/copying new areas in-game) now. It works.
It could be useful for instance dungeons or loading new areas with ResMan.
But I still don't see any "clean" solution to unload/delete an area object.
P.S. Yes, I realize that nobody needs it here (except me, of course).

Wait, you have ability to duplicate a dungeon?

[Zunath]

Instanced areas sounds really intriguing. It could be a great solution to player housing!

I'd love to test it out!

[virusman]

It's not done yet.
Specifiaclly, it crashes DM Client in some cases.
And I don't have enough time to debug it...

Is there a win32 version of this? It would be extremely useful in a few 'situations' I have...

[FunkySwerve]

Had a thought - I see you have Get/Set Event Handler - what about the oft-requested GetConversationNodeSelected, as they did for nwn2? Thinking about adding this to the SIMTools package so I can dynamically set the descriptions of the items that list commands based on the command options the user selects.

Aye, I did the same thing with HGLL, using pspeed's zdialogue. The problem is that they use tokens, which are global, and you can only run one convo at a time. That's fine for HGLL, where using the leveler is infrequent, but for SIMTools, my dms and I are often firing commands at the same time - no good. Hence the request.

No you won't. The downside its that you'll have to write out the text, without the custom tokens. The upside is that it'll only require one action taken and one conditional script per convo. The savings in resources and sheer convenience would be HUGE. Maybe not the biggest concern for some, but my PW has been pushing the resource limit for going on 2 years now, and even after devising custom code to locate unused resources (the Bioware unused resources check is a joke) and removing around 3000, we are again within about 500 resources of having to offload stuff into a cep hak. As such, I had decided it wasn't worth it to upgrade SIMTools in the fashion I could if I could GetNodeSelected - it'd boost SIMTools to well over 500 resources, instead of the 20 or so it currently uses.

I cannot seem to get the function plugin working right. Server version is 1.68 (build 8099)
With the demo module included the SetLockUnlockDC and SetStolenFlag_ do not change the values. I haven't checked any of the functions beyond what is in the demo module.

I notice in the code there is a DebugMe and ObjDump. I do not know how to use them, can someone explain to me what I need to do to use these from a nwn script?

Thanks for any help you can give. Also thank you for all the work you have done on getting these working for linux. I am using the chat, resman, and odbc and am very happy with them. I have the reset installed but have not used it yet. Great work.
