Linux support for SCO/RCO?

[dguntner]

Pap, why can't you provide that access for him? You guys are only doing the Windows stuff; why not let those who are working on the Linux part have an easier time of it?

Sorry for the comment without first checking on all the facts, Pap.

So, obsidian-studios, it looks like he's making the offer. You going to make good at your end?

I added the user "obsidianstudios" to the sourceforge project.

And no, I received no messages.

Just my 2 pence. I have not had much luck with it ever. (:

Any news on this front? I'd love to have the latest DB storage features incorporated into my nwn server on linux. I'd help personally, but I'm not familiar with assembler. Only C & C++.

So how's it going?[/i]

[harry_x]

don't know anything about obsidian-studios's work status, but I realized I need to hook RCO/SCO for my craft system, so after few hours of disassembly I managed to hook RCO. GFF injecting seems to work (e.g. routine for gff loading in rso is hooked).
I will start working on SCO hook soon and then I'll publish it

[dumbo]

hmm.. you ask 4 this?

SCO:
if ((ptr[0x00] == (char) 0x55) &&
(ptr[0x01] == (char) 0x89) &&
(ptr[0x02] == (char) 0xe5) &&
(ptr[0x03] == (char) 0x57) &&
(ptr[0x04] == (char) 0x56) &&
(ptr[0x05] == (char) 0x53) &&
(ptr[0x18] == (char) 0x8b) &&
(ptr[0x19] == (char) 0x1b) &&
(ptr[0x1a] == (char) 0x85) &&
(ptr[0x1b] == (char) 0xdb) &&
(ptr[0x1c] == (char) 0x8a) &&
(ptr[0x1d] == (char) 0x4d)
)
return (unsigned long) ptr;

RCO:
if ((ptr[0x00] == (char) 0x55) &&
(ptr[0x01] == (char) 0x89) &&
(ptr[0x02] == (char) 0xe5) &&
(ptr[0x03] == (char) 0x57) &&
(ptr[0x04] == (char) 0x56) &&
(ptr[0x05] == (char) 0x53) &&
(ptr[0x09] == (char) 0x8b) &&
(ptr[0x0a] == (char) 0x45) &&
(ptr[0x0b] == (char) 0x08) &&
(ptr[0x0c] == (char) 0x8b) &&
(ptr[0x0d] == (char) 0x00) &&
(ptr[0x0e] == (char) 0x85) &&
(ptr[0x0f] == (char) 0xc0)
)
return (unsigned long) ptr;

Sorry lads. Been deep into work.

If you like to get our work done on this mail me at mfx@linux.se and ill send it to you.

Hope you can use it and make this thing rock finally

Sorry all, I have been buried, and have not played NWN in some time now. I am thankful to Papillon for adding me to the project on SourceForge.

At the moment I am reluctant to commit some of the modifications made to the core of nwnx. Pretty sure it will flat out break it in cvs, I will see about cleaning up. I have no asm skills at the moment so I can't do the hooking part.

However the Firebird Database plugin is ready to go and should be safe and stable for use. I did use and test for a month or so. The plugin has blob support which is needed for SCO/RCO. Once the core of nwnx can pass on the data, it should be ready to go.

I am not a fan of MySQL so I am not going to touch that at all. At the moment it does not provide for blob storage. Someone will need to work on that at some point.

In the mean time I think I will go ahead and commit the Firebird plugin to CVS. I hope to be able to do so this weekend. I might have to make some changes to the core of nwnx to commit the plugin. If that is the case I would need someone using MySQL to make sure I did not break anything with that plugin. Not going to touch that code in CVS.

I do not want to break what's in CVS unless you all want me to for the SCO/RCO stuff. Otherwise my goal will just be able to use either Firebird or MySQL with nwnx.

Please if anyone has any comments, let me know by this weekend. Thank you.

obsidian_studios?

Are you planning on porting the Firebird plugin to windows also (please)?

Another question.... On the plugin are you using the embedded Super Server libraries that drive the database file directly or are you using it as a remote connection to an existing server process? Reason I'm asking is that the remote connection method would give us an alternative to using MySQL as it allows connections to remote servers and doesn't lock the database so it can be used by other processes. The first method locks the database and is less useable but easier to setup and is an alternative to SQLite

But I'm sure you know all this already.... I'm more curious as to which you are using.
