MNX plugin for NWNX4

[jsharp6404]

I've been digging around for some information on the MNX plugin that had been developed for NWNX2. Does anyone have this plugin(or a similar one) working for NWNX4 or know of a way to use a TCP or UDP connection to communicate with a socket in order to be able to use java code. I did find some stuff including the mnxj plugin, but everything i've found seems to be for nwnx2.

Thanks

I'm not going to do the research, but if you get me a method to call Java code from C++, I'll make the plugin for you.

Alright, I think I found a way to call Java from C++, so if people REALLY want this, I guess I can do it.

Thats awesome! I was actually considering writing one myself, but I am new to C++ so it is going kinda slow. How were you planning on doing this? I was looking at the old MNX plugin which basically uses a UDP connection to communicate with java. I also considered using the JNI package, but heard that it is very complicated to use. Anyways I will probably poke around and work on mine until I get it to work or I can find another solution that works. Let me know what you decide to do!

Thanks!!!

JNI was what I found. I probably would make the C++ code just a wrapper to call defined methods in the Java.

Well I'm about half way done with my plugin so I'll be able to let you know within a couple days whether or not I'm gonna have any luck with it. If you end up doing anything with JNI let me know and I'll check it out.

Just an update on my plugin progress...I finished the plugin and have it working successfully. It connects to a Java server with a UPD connection and sends/receives data in that manner. Its somewhat crude but it does what I need it to do.
