 Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2008 21:08 Post subject: NWNX4 1.09 - Questions |
 |
|
Couple of questions:
Do I put the new NWNX4_Hook.dll into the game install folder and the nwnx folder the way I used to with MadCHook or does it matter?
In the posts I see references to SCORCO functions in the include file that I do not have - except I see them possibly incorporated into the Set/GetPersistentObject function.
Does this mean I can go ahead and move forward with using the SetPersistentObject and GetPersistentObject functions?
Does the table pwobjdata require any updates? If so, has that been included in the demo or is there CREATE TABLE information available I can use?
Since the Set/GetPersistentObject seems to somehow use the nwn2 native db, will objects stored using SetPersistentObject be persistent across multiple servers (using the same MySQL)?
Thank you,

Well,
I seem to be stuck in a loop.
I read the original threads and the changelog before I posted questions in development.
In response I was pointed back to the forum threads and the changelog. That was good, because it cleared up for me that I was not missing some more detailed documentation. However, I posted some more specific followup questions.
Now you have kindly provided links back to those very same threads, including my own post!
I have not been able to determine the answers to my questions by re-reading those posts again.
One person who replied even suggested my nwnx_sql.erf was out of date, even though I had a fresh download of nwnx 1.09.

I can only answer to this.

Not needed.
I've not figured out about SCO/RCO myself either. |

Hi
I'll work on a basic install document for NWNX4 and MySQL, I did promise to do this for Papillon, but y'know how it goes, one beer leads to a whiskey. =)
The installation hasn't changed that much though, since the earlier NWNX4 versions.
I can't help you with other SQL servers though, I don't use them. Someone else will have to help you out with that.
The new documents will cover NWNX4 and MySQL, and how to setup your server to use them, all the basics shall be explained step by step and in detail.
Cheerio.

Thank you, |
NWNX4 (1.09) is not tied to the 'installation' folder of NWN2. NWNX4_Hook.dll must be where you installed NWNX4.
The SCORCO functions = StoreCampainObject() & RetrieveCampainObject() - these are the NWN2 functions that get hooked, and give you database access.
Set/GetPersistentObject() are the NWNX4 wrapper functions (#includes) that make it easy[er] to use - use these.
pwobjdata hasn't changed (no update). The Demo mod has the CREATE TABLE sql (but I think it's the SQLite code that is the default)
hope this helps
Cheers

Awsome, thank you everyone for the more detailed replies. After a long hiatus our server is supposed to be back online now and I want to be ready to update to 1.09 with as few hitches as possible.
