The plugin can be compiled from SVN sources.

So your saying take the linux version and recompile it for windows correct?
Just to be clear.

[virusman]

No, as far as I know, there is no Windows port of this plugin.

I use a Windows version of TMI myself; it's just a bit hard to find. The below link might be the same one, but I can't verify it right now.

Description says it includes source code as well as a precompiled version.

Thanks Q that was great still on the vaults, The precompiled version seemed to work fine. God willing huh....

I forgot to ask... somewhere I read aurora toolset give TMI after some number of times cant remember. I see the TMI plugin is default set to 4 is this the equivelant to bioware setting?

[Baaleos]

the read me of the dll says that the native Bioware setting is 2, so 4 essentially doubles the limit.

I have put mine to 6, just for testing out.

If you are a competent scriptor, you could enable Unlimited, as long as you know that your not going to be running scripts forever.

eg - As long as the loop terminates eventually, you should be safe with unlimited.


Remember, the size of the loop that can occur before TMI is not necessarily linked to the amount of iterations, but the amount of code being processed in the single script.

I was performing a Feat Transfer, from 2da to mySQL database, and found I could only get about 56 lines from the 2da file into the database, before getting TMI.

However, if I took out all the database functionality from the loop, the loop would have gone further than 56, possibly into the hundreds.

(I solved the issue though, by using a Pseudo HB to transfer the feat information in batches.)

The native bioware limit is 0x20000 or 131,072. The TMI plugin can FAR exceed that. We set ours up to 4x1012x1012 or 4,194,304 during module load, and then back down to around 500k for normal ops. Removing it altogether is a Bad Idea(tm).

I agree totally with Funky,
The TMI is there for a reason, its a safety precaution that prevents players from timing out etc from a single script hogging the processing power of the server.


That being said,
The plugin for windows, only allows currently the server operator to change the TMI values via the nwnx.ini.

Im going to have a go at changing it to make it accept input from nwn the game, to make it dynamically changeable.


It would be interesting if it were possible to hook onto the TMI function, and then have it dynamically change the TMI limit, up to an upper limit, as needed.
