NWNX4 Controller Startup Issue

[rivenbarkc]

I set up NWNX4 for my NWN2 server according to the instructions in the tutorial by Ellesande. When I double-click on the NWNX_Controller shortcut (with -interactive), the command prompt opens and executes the Server Controller but the server console never comes up. Any clues?

nwnx.ini (minus comments)
==================
nwn2=C:\Program Files\NWN2
nwn2temp = C:\Program Files\NWN2\temp
parameters = -module Port_Hope

None of the rest was changed from install. Is there an issue with the spaces in the two paths?

xp_mysql.ini
========
class=SQL
server=localhost
user=nw2user
password=nw2user
schema=nwn2
loglevel=2

I've checked for log files and only nwnx_controller.txt exists. It says:

NWN Extender 4 Server Controller v.0.0.7
(c) 2007 by Ingmar Stieger (Papillon)
Visit us at http://www.nwnx.org

That's it.

Totally missed that, thanks. But the problem still exists. Still no server startup. I can start the server manually with the module and it works fine. Just not with the NWNX_Controller.

UPDATE

I am running NWNX4 as a service but with the "Allow service to interact with desktop" checked. Do you still load the module using the NWNX4_Controller.exe or some other way?

[rivenbarkc]

I tried using the NWNX4_GUI.exe with no results either. Even tried turning off the service mode of NWNX and trying to run from command prompt.

THe equals sign is there on the server. It is my development server so it is not online and I was transfering the info manually. Just missed the equals sign when posting.

What does the controller.exe window look like ? Could you please paste the text from the cmd window ?

I"m getting the same problem. neither the gui nor the controller is bringing up the server for me.

The controller's last line just says:

NWNX will now continue to run within NWNServer.

nm...found my issue...i was missing a dll

[rivenbarkc]

The original issue was fixed. One thing I noticed was that the NWNX Controller when run in service mode (and maybe GUI) doesn't see the module if it's in your My Documents tree instead of the NWN2 Install tree. I guess there's no checking for the "user" modules.

I am getting an issue in the Demo modue though. With the service running and the NWNServer properly initializing with the correct module, when I go in-game, the demo module says that NWN wasn't installed. I have MySQL installed with a "nwn2" database and a NWN2user login on the same machine as NWNX4.

This even occurs if I use the sa user login for MySQL. Here are my ini files:

xp_mysql.ini
========
# The function class that is provided by this plugin
class = SQL

# MySQL server connection parameters
server = localhost
user = NWN2User
password = nwn2user
schema = nwn2

# How much information should be written to xp_mysql.txt:
# 0=nothing, 1=only errors, 2=everything
loglevel = 2


nwnx.ini (minus comments and such)
========================
nwn2 = C:\Program Files\NWN2

nwn2temp = C:\Program Files\NWN2\Logs

parameters = -servername "Rivenbark" -module NWNX4Demo -maxclients 4 -maxlevel 40 -pauseandplay 1 -pvp 0 -oneparty 0 -publicserver 0 -ilr 0

processWatchdog = 1

gamespyWatchdog = 0

gamespyPort = 5121

gamespyInterval = 30

gamespyTolerance = 4

restartDelay = 5

noGPFaultErrorBox = 1

I was missing the dll in the NWN2 directory. Forgot to put it back after I reinstalled NWN2 (I installed patch 1.05 before they pulled it).
