Wishlist for 1.09

[Papillon]

A lot of good things have happened since 1.08 was released and I think it is about time to define the features that will go into 1.09.

In this release, I would like to incorporate the cool stuff that has been written by the community, and maybe add a couple of features from the sticky wishlist thread (here on the same forum). It does not matter whether it's a new plugin or changes to the existing functionality, everything is open for discussion.

So please speak up and suggest features that should be merged into the main branch below. Please only suggest features that already exist and are known to work, and add a link where it can be found.

edit: Here is a list of planned features for 1.09. It will be continuously expanded as we go.

* Reconnection support for MySQL plugin
* Configureable NWNServer startup time grace period (watchdogs)

Gryphyn's Stuff
OK, feel free to grab any/all of these.

RealTime - very easy to add wxWidget calls to the DateTime class to get system time information

SQLServer - an extra 'free' database

* - For ALL database plugins, I'd like you to include the 'CALL stored procedure' options, and in particular the 'Parameter Binding' additions. (some of which is duplicated in NWNXJr - a SQLite version)

Spawn - Access to the Operating System (running tasks)

--
Additionally, PLEASE make sure you include Get/SetObject() in the mix.

Cheers
Gryphyn

- Skywing's improvements would be a great help
- a run script call, using the work virusman did to hook the same in xp_chat; moving that to a common library would be very helpful... .with plenty of comments about not running it in a separate thread, lest the server process take a nosedive.

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum before, moving it here

I know this isn't a feature already in NWNX, but I hope it wouldn't be too difficult to tweak it this way.

Ability to pass startup parameters along to nwserver.exe in windows

So for example, I can start the nwserver.exe program in a higher priority.

Virusman SCO/RCO on MySql

Pretty basic requests regarding the nwnx*.txt and xp_*.txt log files.

They need to allow configurable size maximums specified in the INIs, after which point, they roll (circular logs).

Also, the logs all seem to receive a file lock, preventing the admin from deleting them without restarting the server (bad).

After that gets addressed, make sure if an admin deletes the logs, they re create themselves upon next entry.

Thanks!

I didn't see this mentioned but...

Addig the ability for NWNX to restart the server after a specified number of hours, instead of doing it through a plugin.

You can do this using nwn2srvutil and the task scheduler.
