 |

I've started a project named NWNCX - NWN client extender.
It does not bring NWNX plugins to SP yet - I've decided to take a different approach and extend the visible GUI and client-server interaction.
It will be modular, like NWNX, although the core<->plugins interface is not complete yet.
Adding a button to the radial menu:

Sweet. Where is the button stored? Just as a client-side image file? Is this checked into the repository yet?

I can imagine this with something like BG 2 SP module. So such module would have special NWNCX lancher which would run with given folder as top override so when game is loaded, GUI would be like BG II although, player have different GUI in override.
Also, this could be very usefull as way to load haks when join to server which needs them allowing to take new classes etc.

I've just made a NWNCX plugin that attaches NWNX2 to the client.
The plugins can't find signatures, though, as they search a different address space. They must be recompiled to support both nwserver and nwmain.

Sweet indeed!
Thank you virusman.
(Open...
You talk of using F9 to test the Module.
Some NWN things do not seem to work properly when in F9 mode.
Can something be done for it?

What exactly does not work in Test Module mode?

I know of DelayCommand() -- I use it often to debug.
For example you place this OnModuleLoad, and it fires *without* delay:
DelayCommand (30.0f, SendMessageToPC (GetFirstPC (), "DBG: Message"));
Same if you chain or nest several DelayCommand(). They all fire right away.
But at some point after the first player is in, DelayCommand() returns to work properly.
When that happens, precisely, I am unable to tell -- sorry.
Personally I have not noticed more things.
But I did read some time ago of people claiming that more things are wrong in F9 mode.
They failed to say _which_ things, though.

That's a bug in your code, not a bug in the DelayCommand/F9 combo. If you have...
| Code: | void main()
{
DelayCommand(30.0, SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "DBG: Message"));
} |
In OnModuleLoad, it's not going to do anything because GetFirstPC returns OBJECT_INVALID at the time when it is called (as part of OnModuleLoad, not 30 seconds later). Instead, you should try:
| Code: | void message()
{
SendMessageToPC(GetFirstPC(), "DBG: Message");
}
void main()
{
DelayCommand(30.0, message());
} |
This, you'll find, does work, as GetFirstPC is now being called after the delay has elapsed.
What doesn't work is anything NWNX, for obvious reasons: NWNX is never actually loaded. Pressing F9 is like starting the module single player with the first character on your character list. |

This is no longer true.
Please read my previous posts in this topic.

Touché, sir, I had completely forgotten what the topic was about when I posted that, and now I feel a right numpty. Correction then: if you're using NWNCX, then the supported NWNX extensions do also work. |

Incorrect.
Please do not focus on the command I used.
If you change the line to this:
DelayCommand (30.0f, SignalEvent (GetModule (), EventUserDefined (n)));
it does not delay -- all the same.
Also, should the delay fail because I call GetFirstPC() when no PC is there, it is no bug of mine.
At best it is a NWN bug, for the GetFirstPC() should be called *after* the 30 seconds regardless of the command being delayed.
Thanks.
