"NWNX2 Script hooks added" with patch 1.05

[sweetcornminer]

Then again, if they are simply replacements for GetPersistentInt etc then I won't be using em.

I prefer to write my own MYSQL, especially considering my database format

The answer is already in Papillon post. (3rd one)
The functions do nothing !!!

They do nothing until you write a fitting NWNx4 plug-in that catch the call of the function and execute some own code.

Btw, in the meantime I hooked NWNXGetString and it works fine. I still use the madcodehook library to get the NWNX DLL into the server process, but the actual hooking works without it (i.e. I do it myself).

The new script functions are meant to support the basic types one would likely need for communication with NWNX plugins. The parameters of those functions are based on what I used in the past, with some additional parameter thrown in for good measure. They are mostly placeholders, that can be used by the plugin author for whatever he deems necessary.

Unfortunately, there is a small messup with the "assembly markers" that OE put in for me. I got NWNXGetString two times, probably because somebody forgot to replace the G with an S

No, it was too late. I wonder why a change like that would break stuff, but I'm not argueing with them right now. It should be fixed in 1.06.

In the meantime, I might just hardcode the function pointers for use with 1.05.

Papillon,

The final version of the 1.05 patch is now out...again. In this new final version were they able to correct the mistake you mentioned?

Are the hooking functions still present?

If they didnt fix it, will you still be working on a new release soon to for 1.05 or will you be waiting till the hooks are fixed in the 1.06 patch?

[Papillon]

I'll hardcode the locations for 1.05, since waiting for 1.06 is not really an option. I haven't looked yet, but I am pretty sure that the mistake will only be fixed in 1.06.

Thanks for letting me know.

Do you have any eta on the next version or is it still up in the air?

I was just wandering, do tho hooks that they have placed in there for you have any benifit to module builders? If so, could you give me an example if you have a chance.

Thanks.

I can't answer your eta question, but I can answer the second one.

Module builders will benefit from the nwnx plugins that use the new hooks. In other words, the new hook functions provide no direct benefits to module builders. However, plugin developers will able to do much more with these hooks ... which, in turn, will likely make life easier for scripters and module builders--potential for more functionality with less mess.
