I am trying to convert my mod to using the NWNX database. I created a table for pwdata and pwobjdata using the tables from the demo. So far I have gotten it to work for saving my players locations with pwdata, but the pwobjdata does not seem to be working.

This is my code which I have converted, using pretty much the same method I did for pwdata. The commented out script is the origional setup.

Code:

// Used to save an item location.
void SaveCorpse( object oItem) {

      else.
      if( GetResRef( oItem) == PC_CORPSE_ITEM &&  !GetIsPC(GetItemPossessor(oItem)))

        {

     
        int nIndex = GetPersistentInt(oItem, CorpseDBCount, "pwobjdata") + 1;
                   //GetCampaignInt(CorpseDB, CorpseDBCount) + 1;

        SetLocalInt(oItem, CorpseLocalIndex, nIndex);

        StoreCampaignObject("pwobjdata", CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nIndex), oItem);

        SetPersistentLocation(oItem, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nIndex), GetLocation(oItem), 0, "pwobjdata");
      //SetCampaignLocation(CorpseDB, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nIndex),GetLocation(oItem));


        SetPersistentInt(oItem, CorpseDBCount, nIndex, 0, "pwobjdata");
      //SetCampaignInt(CorpseDB, CorpseDBCount, nIndex);

    }

       }


Did I make a little mistake somewhere? Or am I going about it completely wrong? Any help will be very appreciated.

Is this NWNX2 or NWNX4? If NWNX4, the object persistence is not yet implemented.

I don't know how that else got there. Its not even in my origional script.
And..oops Embarassed I don't know why I put that script there. The saving part seems to be working. Its the actual calling the object back after mod load that is not.

Here is the mod load script I converted, which I really think I didn't do right...

Code:

#include "aps_include"
void main()
{

  SQLInit();

  SetLocalString( GetModule(), "X2_S_UD_SPELLSCRIPT", "_spell_hook");

    object oMod = GetModule();
    object oCorpse = OBJECT_INVALID;
    location lCorpse;
    int nCount = 0;
    int nIndex =  GetPersistentInt(oCorpse, CorpseDBCount, "pwobjdata");
                //GetCampaignInt(CorpseDB, CorpseDBCount);


    while ( nIndex > 0 )
    {

          lCorpse = GetPersistentLocation(oCorpse, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nIndex), "pwobjdata");
        //lCorpse = GetCampaignLocation(CorpseDB, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nIndex));
       
          oCorpse = RetrieveCampaignObject("pwobjdata", CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nIndex), lCorpse);

        DeletePersistentVariable(oCorpse, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nIndex), "pwobjdata");
      //DeleteCampaignVariable(CorpseDB, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nIndex));

        DeletePersistentVariable(oCorpse, CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nIndex), "pwobjdata");
      //DeleteCampaignVariable(CorpseDB, CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nIndex));


        if ( oCorpse != OBJECT_INVALID )
        {

            nCount++;

            SetLocalObject(oMod, CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nCount), oCorpse);
            SetLocalLocation(oMod, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nCount), lCorpse);
        }

        nIndex--;
    }


      SetPersistentInt(oCorpse, CorpseDBCount,nCount, 0, "pwobjdata");
    //SetCampaignInt(CorpseDB, CorpseDBCount, nCount);

    while ( nCount > 0 )
    {

        oCorpse = GetLocalObject(oMod, CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nCount));
        lCorpse = GetLocalLocation(oMod, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nCount));

        StoreCampaignObject("pwobjdata", CorpseDBArray + IntToString(nCount), oCorpse);

        SetPersistentLocation(oCorpse, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nCount), lCorpse, 0, "pwobjdata");
      //SetCampaignLocation(CorpseDB, CorpseDBLocationArray + IntToString(nCount),lCorpse);

        SetLocalInt(oCorpse, CorpseLocalIndex, nCount);

        nCount--;
}
}


This is what I get after save has been initiated

Code:

object oCorpse = OBJECT_INVALID;
int nIndex =  GetPersistentInt(oCorpse, CorpseDBCount, "pwobjdata");


1. You are storing data on an invalid object. I'd use GetModule() in the call to GetPersistentInt and all subsequent calls that accesses general (i.e. not object specific) data.

2. The pwobjdata table is just for storing binary object data. For normal variables, just omit the parameter and it will use the default table "pwdata".

Code:

RetrieveCampaignObject()


This is not the NWNX function to retrieve object data. Use GetPersistentObject from aps_include instead. Same for StoreCampaignObject().

These are just some quick hints to get you started. In general, I would consider to rewrite to whole script to make it more 'SQLish'. You are using kludges by just converting it 1:1, that aren't really necessary with SQL...

Thank you, for the information. I think I'll get started on rewriting that script. Smile
