Easy install errors

I can't get NWNX2 to install on Ubuntu 9.04 server. Here is the output from the ./install.sh.

I can reproduce this on Ubuntu 8.10. Looks like a nwnx_easy issue, so something for Fireboar, but I'll see if there's a quick workaround.

Sure is. Open NWNXBase.h and change the block that reads:

It compiled. Thank you a ton!!!

Because you seem to know what your talking about... I have one more question. How does NWNX work with multiple instances? (3 mods that talk to eachother.)

Thank

It works fine as long as you have a separate folder for each instance and use nwn.ini to point them all at the same servervault. Otherwise you'll have them using the same .ini files and logs folder, which doesn't work very well.

When you say the mods talk to each other, what do you mean?

well, we will have it setup so the world it setup withing 3 modules running at the same time. When a player walks into say the Underdark, they get pushed from the main module and dropped into the Underdark module. (All running persistent with a MySQL DB backend.)

That's what I was thinking. Sounds fine to me.

So far so good. I am creating symlinks to the main instance, but that should be ok. I will post up an update when I get everything working.

Ok, almost there, it doesn't look like it can see NWNX I think. It fails every time I try to load a module. Here is the output:

(I added the -interactive option in the nwnstartup.sh)

Ok, I got the NWN plug-ings registered by creating logs.0/nwnx2.txt file.

But my modules still wont load.

What are the permissions on the NWN directory itself? It also needs to be writable so that the server can create/delete some temporary files/dirs. If you're running it as root, though (which I recommend against, of course) that shouldn't be a problem.

Still sounds like a permissions issue to me, but I can't think of anything offhand. Perhaps one of the more Linux-y folks here can help.

for testing I am running as root. This will allow me to rule that out as an issue for now. Then work it out later.

Ok, it turned out to be the nwn.ini file. The folders it pointed to were

MODULE=.\modules

instead of

MODULE=./modules

The wrong slash. That's it.

Now to to multi instance running!

Well, my old system died so I built up a new one. This time with Ubuntu 9.10... and now I'm getting the same error as before, but this fix doesn't work.

This fix should do the trick. nwnx_easy hasn't been updated in a while - I have been intending to do it for a while, but I just haven't had the time or motivation, especially since with recent developments the trunk now typically builds flawlessly on most systems. Though having said that, the fix in the above link still hasn't been applied.
