with the ini setting to use large font, is there a way to have a IncreaseTextSize() or something like that?
Also is there a way to ahve special fonts in text in game? |
No, NWNX is a server-side extension, while all graphics are rendered by the client. |

Hello!
Ugh 2 years later i'm here again. As i see, lots of cool things done here guys! Amazing really!!
I hope virusman is still here, coz i have a request too:
Get/Set eventhandler in placeables pls! I have used it in nwn2, i wanna use those scripts here too. Is it still possible?
The other thing, maybe - what is requested by others - hooking the DM-created items for markin' it.
thx
Rav
edit: oh yeah, i need it for linux
edit2: hmm i just read this:

I'll look into SetCreatureEventHander in nwnx_funcs. Yes, it leaks memory, but the one in funcs can cause crashes and also (unless I misremember) can't set an event handler name longer than the previously existing one.
|
If this applies to the placeable version too, well, i have to live without it  |

With SetEventHandler from virusman's nwnx_functions you can set longer name than prev.
And btw Get/Set eventhandler for placeables will be gr8 for
clearing HB event after firstrun for cep torchspawn, yay! |

Now to comunicate with plugins in script we can use only Set/GetLocalString(). Is posible to add hooks for Get/SetLocalInt() and maybe Get/SetLocalFloat() ?
What for?
Example: In script we got some non string data like int, if we wana send it to plugin we need first convert to string. If plugin will operate on this data as int we need convert back ...
Pretty, pretty please =] |

The question is if impact on server performance created by hooking all get/set local integers won't be greater than gain from getting rid of IntToString/StringToInt conversions.
One IntToString/StringToInt takes about 1.5 to 2.5 microseconds on my - not new - machine (Barton 2500@2100 Mhz). I dont know how much time is spent on NWNX part of the code when Get/SetLocalString is used (though I can roughly say that it is about 1 (+/- 0.5) microsecond on the same machine). I dont know if there is any difference between Linux and Window version of nwserver or NWNX also - so I will leave estimate to people that knows more in this matter.
I agree though, that this additional hooking would be quite useful.
PS. Only thing hooked in core NWNX is SetLocalString... |

The performance gain isn't worth hooking all Get/Set* functions.

There is almost no overhead for variables not starting with "NWNX!". |

Adding to the wish list:
- The ability to disable the map pins that mark character location when viewing the mini-map. A complete disabling for players, but leaving it enabled for DMs, would be nice, however a global disabling for players AND DMs could be useful.
- Along similar lines, the ability to disable the current area display for other characters in a party, as well as the coordinates for the little arrow that would point to them.

Unfortunately, these are generated client-side. We could remove them, but then you wouldn't be able to see your other party members at all.

That's generated client side? That's frustrating...though I feel like that would debunk the myth that opening the minimap "causes lag" that many people swear by. If the client already has that location data for your party members, I don't see why displaying the map would put any additional load on the server unless it causes the client to increase the number of requests for position data.
I guess I always assumed that map position was just for some reason different than object locations. |

Opening the minimap causes client-side lag while the minimap icons are loaded. No server-side lag.

Hi, i don't know if it has been requested, but, would be nice to have a "OnPartyJoin" or "OnPartyInvite" to hook the party requests.
I hate to see all players together in only one party, and altough the server has the options to enable/disable "Only one Party", every player who joins the server invite everybody to his team...

Hi
As it seems that RCO/SCO currently do not restore local variables on creatures, ist it possible to enhance these functions to do so?
Regards

I'd be happy to see those functions on Windows server btw...  |
Why not post that on the Windows Development Forum then, rather than here on the Linux one? You never know, someone "out there" might be able to help you... |

| Already posted this in linux->windows port requests... Now I did put it as a digression... (does anyone from nwnx gurus even looks at windows part? ) Main goal of my post was providing solution to Timear's problem (assuming he uses Linux server if he posted on Linux forums ...). |
