Dynamic names

i as told that this was included in the nwnx_easy (which i put in ). But can i be refered to where i can get the info on how to use it in game?

[Fireboar]

You are mistaken. This isn't included in nwnx_easy yet, since it's not released yet. It will be once the plugin is released officially by Virusman. I for one am very curious about this one.

[Extreme]

oh...misinformed, I am

[sol]

Will be a plugin to windows version? Our server will be a very greatfull if it will be.

[Extreme]

would i get flogged if i asked if there was an update on this?

If i will...

then i wont ask

[Zebranky]

There is not that I know of, but that's a good question -- I had forgotten about it. I'll take a look tonight, but no promises. It's a monumental job.

<Fluffy-Kooshy> NWNx plugin is to this as nuclear warheads are to getting rid of fire ants.

<ThriWork> whenever I hear nwn extender, I think what does NWN need a penis extender for?

[virusman]

No update on this yet. It's still in the plans. The current codebase (written 2 years ago, without any symbols) isn't worth submitting to SVN even as a branch.

[Extreme]

great to hear. if you need atest dummy, let me know

[Vinlaell]

This should be possible in windows as i have used artmoney to edit the names of players, player bios itemnames descriptions of items / familiars of players etc on the (windowsxp)server via memory hack so i dont see why a nwnx plugin cant do the same edit to memory address, just hope that the address is unchanging i dunno how they make memory "hacks" that know how to keep up with changing addresses, also with a plugin like this you could change servername, module name, min max players etc all that via script ingame if you wanted

[Zebranky]

This plugin is more than a simple memory edit; you can set different names to be displayed *to different players*. For example, you could implement a system where all PCs have the floaty name "Unknown Adventurer" until they introduce themselves (with some kind of introduction code, maybe a chat command or something). You can also change the displayed names of any other sort of game object, so you could do things like a custom identification system to replace the Lore check. There are MANY possibilities with this.

i'd like to know how to mess with memory of my nwserver / client in linux period, unlike windows i have seen no memory editor for linux

[Zebranky]

It's called NWNX (for the server, anyway)

Or for more general purposes, there's always gdb.

[Ne0nx3r0]

Any word on this?

[Ne0nx3r0]

*bump?*

Just curious, because I'm working on updating some scripts in my mod and I'd love to use this sort of functionality in a LOT of areas, but if it's on the back burner, or isn't really feasible to be released anytime soon (which is completely understandable considering how complex it is) I'll just have to suck it up and move on ; ).

[virusman]

I've uploaded the sources for this plugin today.

It's still a mess and half of the hooks don't work, but at least it doesn't crash after login.
