Guidance Please

[Urlord]

I am starting from scratch setting up a new NWN2 Server with NWNX4, MySQL and several other plug-ins. The big difference is that I am setting it up on Windows XP Pro x64. I got rid of the Vista x64 because I was running into several incompatibility issues.

All I have done so far is install NWN2 and MotB with both patched to the latest. Are there any pitfalls I need to watch out for or anything special I need to do? This is my first machine running on an x64 platform.

I am not sure how NWNX4 1.08 work on x64, but I am interested to hear.

If you run into problems, I can send you a preliminary NWNX4 which uses detours instead of madcodehook.

I ran into problems with 1.08 on Vista x64 already. If you are saying that the problems may have been from it being 64-bit and not necessarily because it was Vista, then I would like to use the preliminary version you have from the start. So long as it will run as a service. I have frequent power outages where I am and running as a service is very important.

If you need to email the prelim version, send it to Urlord@Wizardstorm.com

I will take good notes and perhaps you can use them in your documentation.

Thanks,

You can download the first preview release of 1.09 here:

NWNX 1.09 preview 1

It uses detours and does not use DDE any more, so I am quite interested to hear how it works on your new system.

Works like a charm on my X64 Windows Server System (the NWNX4 for Wine didn't work with me) but the .09 preview does work start/stop/restart what i have to try is the Plugins, but I don't see a problem there

I have been sick so this was on hold for a couple of weeks. This weekend I am going to try to set things up. I have a couple of questions, if someone could assist. I do know that a couple of these questions have nothing to do with NWNX, but all you guys are so knowledgeable, I thought I would ask anyway.

MySQL issue - I used the MySQL Data Migration App to copy the database from my old database (x32 MySQL 5.0) to the new database (x64 MySQL 5.1). According to the Application, everything copied over fine (Tables and Stored Procedures), however when I open the Query Tool, I see the Tables but not the Stored Procedures. The new query tool does look a little different than the old one. Any Ideas?

Multiple Servers - I want to have two instances of NWN running on the new Win XP x64 server (one per CPU core), but both servers connected to the same DB. Is this possible? If so, can someone give me some guidance? I have never been able to get two servers running on the same machine before, much less connecting to the same DB.

Router Ports - In addition to the two servers running on the new box (168.192.1.5, ports 5121 & 5122), I want to set up a dev/test server on the old machine (168.192.1.4, port 5130) with its own dev/test database. What changes to the Router ports will I need to make? Will I have to set the production DB and the dev/test DB on different ports?

I spent a lot of money on the new production server and I want to make sure I get it set up the best I can. I can think of no better group of people I would rather take advice from.

Thanks in advance.
